Gone with the Family

Two Walks in the Cayman Islands

Our family recently went on a holiday cruise on the Disney Magic in the Caribbean. Apart from the fact that the ship left from Galveston, Texas instead of Port Canaveral, Florida, it was essentially a repeat of our very first cruise nearly 7 years earlier. 

Castaway Cay, Bahamas

The theme for Disney (Almost) Wordless Wednesday this week is The Letter 'C' which immediately brings to my mind an image of Castaway Cay, Disney's private Bahamian island.  Castaway Cay is a tropical paradise reserved exclusively for the use of Disney Cruise Line's passengers and is one of the most popular ports on it's Bahamian and Caribbean cruises.  

Striking a Pose in the Cayman Islands

 

This is Emma at age 2.5 in Georgetown, Grand Cayman which was a port of call on our Disney Cruise.

Crushin' on Peter Pan

We cruised with Disney Cruise Lines when Emma was 2.5 and she developed a serious crush on Peter Pan. 

Swimming with Sea Lions at Coral World

A couple of years ago our family went on a spring break cruise of the Eastern Caribbean with Holland America on the ms Eurodam.  One of the ports of call was St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands where  we decided to spend our day at Coral World Ocean Park on Coki Beach.  Coral World is a marine park that has exhibits, a touch pool and an underwater observatory where guests can view non-captive fish going about their day in the Caribbean.  There are also a number of activities which must be reserved ahead of time and require an additional fee.  These include: Sea Lion Encounter; Sea Lion Swim; Sea Trek; Snuba; Shark Encounter; Turtle Encounter; and the Nautilus Semi-Submarine.
