Creator's Key Takeaways

I think the perfect itinerary is one that stops at both of them. But let's talk about what the differences are between the two.

I will always have a soft place in my heart for Castaway. It's the OG and so it's going to get my vote for my favorite, but I love both of them.

The splash pad at Castaway is called Spring Leak and it's it's fairly small... But at Lookout, they took it to a whole another level.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Grab a complimentary wagon or stroller at the end of the Lookout Cay pier to avoid walking with small children.
✓If you can't find beach chairs, look on the other side of the dunes; they are often more available there.
✓Get off the ship early to 'rope drop' the islands if you want to secure a good beach chair.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Walking distance at Lookout Cay — Use the complimentary wagons or strollers available at the end of the pier, or sign up for a golf cart trip.
Finding beach chairs — Arrive early or look for chairs behind the dunes/berms where they are more plentiful.
