Water Temp at CC

We are considering a 3 day cruise next month. Can anyone tell me if the water at Castaway will be warm enough for swimming the first two weeks in March?

I jumped in Saturday and while brisk at first, in no time it was fine and we spent hours snorkeling. The sun was super warm and I could not have asked for better weather.

It honestly varies due to personal preferences, I've sailed President's Day weekend twice, early February, and Mid-January and all have been on the cool but comfortable side; it's a tad bit chilly when you get in, but with sun its bearable

Ditto to this. We were there the first week of February. I'm from Florida so cold water and I don't get along. I was able to stand it. As long as the sun is out and it's not too breezy, you will be fine.

Thank you for your responses!

I guess it depends on whether or not you find 73° to be warm enough.

I never find Castaway Cay's water warm enough. I've mainly visited in late Oct/early Nov when the water temps are in the 70s. I like the water to feel closer to bathwater though. I like 82 degrees or higher. (Disney pools are kept at around 82 degrees for comparison)

I agree. Even in late May/early June, I find myself wishing the water were 5° warmer.
