24 - 27 April 2003 |
|
|
We arrived in Nassau on Friday morning, 25 Apr 2003. Everything
looks the same as it did when we cruised with The Big Red Boat
in 1996. The nice thing about this particular cruise was that we
got to watch the Disney Wonder dock in Nassau. |
|
The port holes on the Disney Wonder were
very large - about 5 feet - and allowed for a wonderful view |
|

begin our dock at Nassau |

After a few hours shopping, we were ready to head back to the

|
|
|
There was a Disembarkation Party on board the Disney Wonder
when we left Nassau at 11:00 p.m. |
|
|
|
Castaway Cay |
|
We arrived at Castaway Cay, Disney's own
tropical island, on Saturday, 27 Apr 2003. Many went ashore for
a day of swimming, playing and sunning. Carolyn and I explored
the Island then returned to the ship early. After we returned to
the ship, there was an afternoon storm, the only rain we saw on
the entire trip. |
