Fun hypothetical - three days at Castaway cay

[zeferjen]

Let's imagine the Fantasy turns into three days at sea, three days at Castaway. What would you do for your three days at Castaway? Right now we have already booked para sail for our one scheduled day.

We are about to have 4 days at castaway starting on the 21st. We have rented bikes and floats for all the days. We plan on lounging, reading, swimming, sunning and having some fruity drinks. Mainly just relaxing!

Only if they treat it like a sea day and have on board activities. I would be fine with a double dip if it came down to it but would prefer just an extra sea day.

With no food/drink in the theater and indoor masking, I just don’t think sea days will be as fun as before.

Depends on how crowded the ship is. My kids and I can easily ride the Aquaduck 47 times in a row if we had the opportunity....

Hopefully they have the popcorn and we can take it up to watch a movie or two on the funnel.

Also I like sea days because of the activities around the ship in addition to taking a lengthy quite lunch. I have to think if Disney is doing an extra sea day they pull out all the stops as well.

I read there was no popcorn on the Magic because they didn't want people walking and eating (and you can't eat in the theaters). Maybe the Dream/Fantasy will be different.

Day 1: Explore the Island
Day 2: Lay on the beach and relax with a drink
Day 3: Snorkel

I’d do snorkeling in the snorkeling space where you can see the statues. Snorkeling in open water. Go on bike rides. Rent that gigantic three wheeled thing. Rent a kayak (do they have it). Eat at Serenity BBQ twice. Rent a cabana.

On Castaway days do they have Cabana's open for lunch, or is it only the buffet on the island that's available?

Cabanas is open from my understanding but possibly someone can confirm and someone from the dream can confirm soon.

Cabanas will be open, as will the quick service locations on the pool deck.

I agree.

Normally I would not mind 3 or more sea days but with several things shut down doesn't sound like
much fun. Would have to see what would be open on sea days. I can sit around at home much
cheaper.

The Castaway days sounds great even if you just did some sunning on the beach.

Snorkel, eat, nap~repeat

What things are shutdown? I honestly didn't see anything that would impact us but we don't have kids coming with us so that could be the reason wondering what I am missing.

I think we already mentioned that capacity is limited in shows/activities for social distancing, masks are required at all times indoors unless stationary and eating/drinking. So no food/beverages in theaters, limited capacity and no wandering around the ship drinking and noshing. Social distancing required on pool deck - which is not going to be a problem at limited capacity, but eventually they will increase capacity and that could be an issue. I need to see more info from the first sailings to really know how we would feel with extra sea days. I'm not sure it's a deal breaker for us in September (just adults) but for December it might be with our daughter.
