Ahoy Stacey!
Thanks for sailing back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I can feel your excitement about your upcoming inaugural Disney Cruise through your question! You're asking about one of my favorite activities: shopping! I love shopping onboard our Disney Cruise as well as having the opportunity to pick up treasures from all the different ports of call!
If you love jewelry, you'll be thrilled with all the beautiful jewelry sold onboard your Disney Cruise ship as well as on the beautiful island of Nassau! I suggest strolling through
White Caps as your first shopping stop onboard to see the jewelry! You'll find duty-free shopping on the ship, too. I love shopping on Castaway Cay; however, I'm not sure how much jewelry is available for purchase there. Nassau, Bahamas has tons of shopping along Bay Street. Not only will you find jewelry shops but you'll pass restaurants, boutiques and the Straw Market.
There is a limit on duty-free items Guests may bring back into the U.S. from the Bahamas.
Keep an eye on your Personal Navigator newsletter or Disney Cruise Line Navigator app for a port shopping seminar as well as a diamond and gemstone seminar you can attend onboard! Both these seminars were offered during our last cruise on the Disney Dream and gave us tons of valuable information before heading ashore to shop!
Stacey, I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that you will be able to book the Atlantis Aquaventure for your entire pirate crew! You'll love exploring the aquariums and grounds at Atlantis Paradise Island!
Please come back and visit us again with any other questions you may have! We want to make your first cruise with Captain Mickey a smooth-sailing one!
