Hi! Love all the info here! Do you help folks with their trips (like a travel agent) or if this just a hobby? If just a hobby, what an amazing, impressive adventure! If more than that, perhaps I could reach put to you some time when I have a better feel for what I’d like to do. Many thanks, Betty

Started to board around 11:15 am
Rooms ready around 2 pm
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
$99 very nice bag, excellent set up,
Hair piece, nails, make up, bag, and t-shirt
Took about 1 hour
Very quiet on Castaway Cay day
Do not book on embarkation day
Room bookings
Make sure to ask for a room with view of Castaway Cay
Try to stay closer to elevators than usual, not much ability to go deck to deck without that area either stairs or elevator
Order room service after port adventure or back on ship to save time
