Questions about Castaway Cay 5K on double dip cruise

[mikaj3645]

DH and I are doing the 5-day Double dip on the Dream in June. I want to do the 5K while he fishes. Can anyone tell me which CC day that the 5K is offered during a double dip? Also, is there a pace threshold? I'm not very fast, LOL.

Also, is Yoga on the Beach held both days?

Thanks -- can't wait!

We did the double dip last year in July. I believe the 5K is offered on both days, but on our trip I only saw a big group running on the first day. There is no pace threshold. Not an official race- more of a fun run. It is very warm, so hydrate well.

As far as yoga on the beach on both days- no idea!

Have a great cruise

We did a double dip on the Fantasy in last May. The Castaway Cay 5K was only offered on the first day at Castaway Cay. We ran it on our own on the 2nd day, but the event was not held. There is no pace threshold. We have ran it around 15 times, sometimes it's warm, sometimes it's not, sometimes sunny, sometimes raining. Weather is weather, just like everywhere else.

I don't know about yoga either.

Scott has some Navigators from previous DDs to give you a sense of the schedule - http://disneycruiselineblog.com/cruise-planning/itineraries/itinerary-summary/?itinerary=141

Last year it appears that Yoga was offered on both days, 5K on on the first

It is often done on both days. It is sometimes done on just one.

You'll be able to check with the guest services once you get on board the boat. (Like someone else, I too did a double dip and the race was only offered the first day). If they offer it both days, I recommend signing up for the first day at a minimum. Bad weather could always force you to miss docking at the island the second day. So if you really want to do it (or anything on a double dip) try and do it the first day ESPECIALLY if the weather looks iffy for the subsequent days.

We did double dip last year and it was only the first CC day. Based on posts in this forum, I believe that was standard on all the double dips on the Dream last summer. There is no guarantee they will do it that way again this summer.

Like others said, check with guest services as soon as you board. We were on the Fantasy double dip last year and it was only done the first day (as previously posted). I read lots of comments on here prior to the cruise that said the 5K would be held both days, so we were disappointed as we had plans on CC for the first day. Just check on the ship!

Thank you, everyone!

Ours in July of this past year, was on the first day only. I walked it in around 45 minutes and seem to remember someone saying if you didn't complete it in under an hour, you had to pick up your medal at one of the gift shops on-board at a later time.

I got through it in about 45 minutes as well (a little running, mostly walking). DH came in about 5 minutes later and was 3rd...from last. We aren't in the best shape but we did it.

The only issue with walking it all the way is that CMs may leave early and you won't get your medal. They do try to wait for everyone though.
