Set sail aboard for the Bahamas! The ports of call on the Disney cruises are Nassau in The Bahamas and Castaway Cay (Disney's private island).
Disney Cruise Line is in the process of developing its second private island in The Bahamas! Take a look at the Lighthouse Point website for an outline of site plans and what to expect in the future.
While in Nassau you'll find some excellent excursions including the Atlantis Resort (located on Paradise Island), where a visit to the beach and/or the casino might be what you're looking for. Other options include the Historical Harbor Tour, a visit to Blue Lagoon Beach as well as other excursions chosen by Disney to enhance your time here.
When shopping in the Bahamas, a 7.5% value added tax (VAT) will be added to goods and services purchased in the Bahamas, which will include Nassau and Castaway Cay. Purchases on the ship will not be affected. On Castaway Cay, this will be added to beverage purchases, bike rentals, spa services, Stingray Adventures, snorkel and float rentals, merchandise purchases and may apply to select port adventures. In Nassau, there will be no VAT added to linens, leather goods, jewelry and watches, gems, sunglasses, and cosmetics purchased from a licensed duty free store.
The 3- and 4-night cruises are a particularly good choice for those cruising for the first time. Many guests are concerned about how well they will fare at sea. These shorter cruises gives them a chance to experience a Disney Cruise vacation, and often leads to a "repeat" cruise on a longer itinerary.
These cruises are also very popular as an addition to a land-based vacation at Walt Disney World. Many guests start out staying at a Disney resort, and move on to finish their vacation with a relaxing voyage aboard Disney Cruise Line.
