On the final day of our Marvel Day at Sea cruise onboard the beautiful Disney Dream I woke up after a good night’s sleep and immediately walked out onto our verandah where I could already see Castaway Cay ahead in the distance. It was so strange to be back at Castaway Cay as I really was not expecting to visit at all this year but that is what happens when other cruise companies cancel your long-awaited trip and mess you around leaving you to find alternative (and as it turns out, much better) plans!

This is certainly not the blog that I ever thought I would be writing at this point in time but as the saying goes, when life gives you lemons, make the sweetest lemonade you can – and that is certainly what we did! (more…)
