Our first day at sea was Christmas Day, and needless to say, my son was very excited to see Santa bright and early that morning. But, first, I wanted to enjoy the sunrise over Cuba, which we were passing on our way to Cozumel. Here was the view from our stateroom’s verandah

In fact, after sailing Concierge the first time on the Disney Dream, I realized that there was no way I would want to be in a standard stateroom, especially with a rambunctious six-year-old in tow.

Of all cruise lines’ private islands in the Caribbean, Castaway Cay is unparalleled in the breadth of its beauty and the wide range of activities and amenities offered.
