Ahoy, Janeen! Welcome to planDisney and thanks for sailing over with your question about vacationing where magic meets the sea.
Based on your anticipated arrival date, it looks like you will be enjoying a 4-Night Bahamian Cruise from
Port Canaveral aboard the
Disney Fantasy on December 30, 2026 to January 3, 2027. That itinerary features a day at sea followed by visits to both of Disney’s island destinations, so you will get to experience the beautiful beaches of both
Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point and
Disney Castaway Cay. Both locations offer their own distinct island vibes with touches of Disney magic found around every corner that will delight all of the members of your sailing party both young and old.
You will find that the beaches are open to all of the guests sailing with Disney Cruise Line, so there is no way to reserve an area of the beach exclusively for your party. Although cabana rentals are available at both destinations, none of them would be large enough to accommodate your party of 22. The majority of the cabanas only allow a maximum of 10 guests and even the few grand cabanas that are available only allow a maximum of 16 guests.
My recommendation would be to have your party get off the ship as early as possible and find a designated spot on the island for everyone to meet up. Remember that the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App works on both islands and has the onboard chat feature to help you coordinate with everyone throughout the day.
Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary and I hope your entire family enjoys the celebration. If you have any other questions before you set sail in December, then feel free to reach back out to us at planDisney. Happy sailing!
