Honeymoon 2015 - Part 18

Disney's Castaway Cay

Friday - January 23rd 2015

Today was the highlight of the cruise, because we spent the day at Disney's private island in the Bahams called Castaway Cay. After breakfast and watching the Fantasy docking at the harbour, we were on the way to Castaway Cay. At Disney you don't have to walk anywhere, even for short distances, like from the ship to the family beach, you can take the tram, but we walked. At the family beach we rented a bike and cycled along the runway to the lookout.

Then we were also lazy and took the tram to Serenity Bay, the adults only beach on Castaway Cay. What a wonderful and beautiful place. No children, no screaming, just a perfect place for relaxing and enjoying the day. For lunch there was BBQ and we both got a veggie burger. Of course there was also a bar at Serenity Bay. It was named Castaway Air Bar and we had a couple of drinks there, especially the cocktails were very good.

In the late afternoon before we had to return to the ship, we checked out the shops at the family beaches, but there was nothing worth to buy. So we had one last drink at the Heads Up Bar. Unfortunately, now it was time to head back to the ship. Castaway Cay was great and we had such a good luck with the weather, because according to the crew, the last couple of weeks it was cold and raining.

Back on the Fantasy we watched the last show called An Unforgetable Journey, which was a bit dull, and then we had dinner at Royal Court. Today's menu included an Asian salad, spicy pancakes on lentils and of course ice cream. We were already a little bit sad, because the journey was coming to an end, but we spent the evening at the Bon Voyage Bar and at the Skyline Lounge, our favourite bar on the ship.

Honeymoon 2015 - Part 19

Returning Home

Saturday - January 24th 2014

After nearly two great weeks at Universal Studios and Walt Disney World and after one fantastic week on the Disney Fantasy, we had to return home. When we got up, the ship was already in Port Canaveral. We packed our stuff and after breakfast at Royal Court we had to leave the ship. Security and immigration didn't take very long and soon we were on our way to Orlando International Airport.

Although our flight didn't depart before 6:30pm, we could already check in. Then we got a coffee at Starbucks and strolled through the airport shops. After a late lunch at one of the fast food restaurants, we spent our last dollars at a bar.

Finally it was time for take off and an hour later we arrived in Atlanta. From there we had to take an Air France flight to Paris, where we arrived Sunday noon. In Paris we had an overlay for one and a half hour and then we had to take our last flight from Paris to Munich. Unfortunately our journey wasn't over yet, because we still had to drive to Salzburg. 

Waiting for Departure

Back at home we ordered food from our favourite Japanese restaurant and spent the evening in front of the TV watching The Big Bang Theory and talking about our marvelous honeymoon. I think it was the best vacation ever, especially the Disney Cruise was really fantastic and I'm pretty sure we will do nother one, maybe in the Mediterranean. Walt Disney World was also wonderful, but we realized that we have a great Disney resort in Europe too, which we now even prefer over Disney World.
