Castaway Club Gifts
Here are some pictures of the Castaway Club Gifts we have received over the years (Note: We just received some updated pictures from a recent Disney Alaska Cruise. We’ve added these pictures to the end of the article):
Disney Cruise Line
Disney Dream Stateroom 7044
We recently went on the Disney Dream for a 3-Night Bahamian Cruise from Port Canaveral. We stayed in room 7044, which is a Category 5C Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah. It is located on the forward (front) port (left) side of the ship on Deck 7, just in front of the forward elevators. The room was in a great location. We only had to go up a few decks to get drinks and we were very close to the forward elevators.

Disney Visa Credit Cards – Updated
There are two Disney-branded credit cards offered by Chase. The first is the Disney Premier Visa Card which has a $49 annual fee. It earns 2% at gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants, and most Disney locations, and 1% everywhere else. The other is the Disney Rewards Visa Card which earns 1% on all purchases, but has no annual fee.
Star Wars Cruise – Part 10, Go Home Already!
This would be the saddest day, debarkation day. I’ve already described the debarkation procedure in a previous post. It was time to head home. We got up early and went down to get breakfast. Since we had second seating, we had the late breakfast at 7:30 am. We had already sent our bags on ahead with the Disney On Board Airline Check In, which means we wouldn’t see our bags again until we got back to Dulles Airport.
Star Wars Cruise – Part 9, Castaway Cay
Today was the last full day of our cruise and it included a stop at Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island. We’ve stopped at Castaway Cay several times over the years on our cruises, with the exception of our Alaska Cruise. When we checked in for the cruise 105 days ago, we looked for a private Cabana on the family beach. Unfortunately, they were all booked. We instead decided to try some new excursions on the island.
Star Wars Cruise – Part 8, Star Wars Day At Sea
Today was the last sea day for our cruise, in addition to being Star Wars Day At Sea! The Fantasy hadn’t been overtaken too much during the cruise with Star Wars other than all the movies being shown throughout the cruise. All of that changed in the morning. As soon as we stepped outside the room into the hallway, you could hear the Star Wars themed music playing (which went on all day).
Star Wars Cruise – Part 7, St. Thomas
Star Wars Cruise – Part 6, Tortola
Today was day four of our cruise and the ship pulled into Tortola just as we woke up. We had an early excursion for this port, so we had ordered room service for breakfast. Normally we forget to use room service, but we had discussed it a bit the night before our arrival in Tortola. We took our breakfast out onto the veranda to enjoy it and look at the harbor.
Star Wars Cruise – Part 5, Sea Day
Another fun day at sea was on the horizon, except I was super tired. I had taken some Dramamine the night before because I was feeling under the weather. Well, probably because of the Mixology class and not really anything else. Dramamine makes me really, really sleepy for a long period of time. I spent a good part of the morning sleeping in various location around the ship. I slept some up in Satellite Falls and some near the adult pool area. The weather was a bit overcast and it was chilly to be up on deck with the wind blowing. After lunch time, I started to get my second wind. I felt like I pretty much wasted the first part of this day, which was a shame. After seven cruises, I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that I should never take Dramamine, even if I do feel seasick.
