Cruise Critic Names Castaway Cay the Best Cruise Line Private Island for the Third Year in a Row

The votes have been tallied! We’re thrilled to share that Cruise Critic members have recognized Disney’s private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay, as the “Best Cruise Line Private Island” for its 2018 Cruisers’ Choice Destination Awards, making this the third year in a row!

But that’s not all! Castaway Cay was also voted the Top Rated Overall island in all of the Caribbean.

What makes Cruise Critic’s Cruisers’ Choice Destination Awards so exciting is that the awards are given based exclusively on consumer ratings and reviews posted to the Cruise Critic website over the past year.

One Cruise Critic member said: “They have done such a nice job of making the island a special place for everyone. It was our first time over at the adult-only beach, and that was even more awesome.”

Castaway Cay is a tropical island paradise exclusively reserved for Disney Cruise Line Guests. With activities for everyone in the family, from animal encounters and snorkeling, to bike rentals and private cabanas, your family will have countless ways to create amazing vacation memories. Luckily, the year-round Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy sailings from Port Canaveral, Florida, all include a full day at Castaway Cay!
