Food on Castaway Cay

[MagicJunkie]

Is the food available on Castaway Cay included in the cruise price or must you pay for everything when you are off the ship?
I'm trying to talk DH into trying a cruise. The more things I can tell him are included (free) the better chance I have.
Thanks

Yes - the food is free. There is a buffet style bar-b-q with lots of choices. Including dessert. Free soft serve ice cream. I can't remember what I had to drink, but it was included. There is a covered area with rows of long picnic tables to sit at. You can eat whenever you want, but be sure to check the closing time because it does close down near the end of the island time and become unavailable (if that happened you could always get something to eat on the ship). The things that cost money on CC are specialty drinks, float and snorkle rentals, banana boat rides and that sort of thing. For free you can go get a chair by the beach and relax and play in the water and have lunch. We even brought our own snorkles on the trip.

All the food is free...even on CC.

As for the other ports of call, it's your choice on whether you want to go out and pay for a taste of local food or be on the ship to eat free.
