Bahamas Baby!!



So this weekend I took a little break and headed to the sunny bahamas on a disney cruise! I headed down with Lyndsey, Lucy and Anneliese (random group) on Thursday first thing. The Cruise ship itself is absolutely HUUUUUUUGE! ive never seen a cruise ship before and i was just in awe! when we got on we inspected our room, it was lovely we had a verander right at the very front of the boat which was fantastic for views! Then we headed downstairs for a safety briefing on one of the decks and then...

Party time wooo!! Disney organised a 'set sail party' for the boat leaving. It was a gorgeous day and we were all on the top decks the music pumping, sun shining it was such a good feeling! Then halfway through the show loads of characters came out and danced on the stage. As we set sail we looked down the the dock where we boarded and some of the staff waved us off!! very fun! One of the best parts of the cruise was the entertainment. The nightly shows were fantastic and we got speaking to some of the performers (i spent half a day at the pool with the performers while the others were at the beach) and they love what they do.


Nobody can go to the bahamas without watching the sun set and without visiting those gorgeous beaches. Disney actually owns its own bahamian island called Castaway Cay. The island can only be visited by cruise guests and it only docks twice a week so the island is immaculate. When we arrived it looked like the island form lost. Disney only open i'd say about a third of the entire island to the public. I wanted to explore but it was all blocked off. One of the main features of Castaway Cay is the flying dutchman ship from the Pirates of the Carribean movies. Its the actual one that they use.. its incredible! here are some pics of the Bahamas below!

So as they had the ship from Pirates of the Carribean i thougt who better to get a photo with than Jack Sparrow himself.. Im in love! I met his 'friend' by the pool.. so hot!! We also met Minnie and Pluto on the island.. i cant stress enough how much the island is like paradise.. its gorgeous!! the sea was clear as anything the sand was white and it was just so clean!! i loved it so much especially the adult beach.. it was so quiet. Obviously now that ive learned to swim i decided to put my new skills into practice and swam as far out as i could which was miles, i felt like i was in the middle of the ocean! I got caught by the tide briefly though which wasnt fun!!
