Castaway Cay Day, Serenity Bay, + Remy (Best Day Ever) | May 17, 2018

[@MrsRiceXoXo]

“Crumb Sweepers” always make me feel so self conscious. I try to be so neat but it never fails lol. 😂

[@BlairLamb]

Same. My side of the table was full of crumbs! 😂😂

[@yourtravelfairygodmother8961]

Oh so glad you guys made it to Castaway! Love doing DCL sans kids...lol pro tip for Castaway day: order room service the night before so you can get off the ship ASAP! Remy is the one thing I haven’t tried...mainly because Palo, it calls me! Lol we have done the Remy dessert...and now I NEED to do Remy. 🤪

[@kristenj9207]

We just got back from our cruise on Carnival and was in port with the Disney Dream. It wanted me to tell you it misses you and hopes to see you real soon!!!🛳🌴

[@LeggLife]

Castaway Cay is absolute perfection, especially Serenity Bay! I just don't know how it could be better! Also really enjoyed hearing about Remy because we've never done it. We do Palo every cruise but have yet to experience Remy. Hopefully on one of our upcoming cruises that will change!

[@Huskerstar922]

My brother did Remy a couple of months ago and said it really wasn't worth the price. They did some of the fanciest stuff including wine pairing menu, etc and said they walked out of there like $600 bill later. His exact words were "We can at least say we did it."

[@BlairLamb]

Definitely a personal choice, but I will say that our bill was no where near $600. That's exorbitant. Ours was around $225-250 including tip if I'm remembering correctly.

[@pappawof4393]

Awesome Vlog!! Disney service is always the highlight of any Disney experience! We are avid Disney fanatics and have been visiting the Disney Parks avidly over the years and the one thing you can guarantee to anyone who goes is that the service is TOP NOTCH! Glad you got to go to the Cays!

[@leighanne2982]

We did Palo's 10 years ago and i remember it being amazing. Most recently on a trip to Maui we ate at Mama's Fishhouse and it was one beautiful dish after another. We are going on a Disney cruise next year and cant wait to try Remy's now.

[@Alyssa-ui7bf]

So glad the ship could turn around so y’all could enjoy Castaway Cay! Happy you both enjoyed yourselves on what looked like a gorgeous and wonderful trip!

[@amandacarroll9611]

Lol! We went to Palo on our Disney Dream cruise. They also matched our napkins to our clothes, and used the little table sweeper to remove the bread crumbs! I've never been to a restaurant that did that! We were also blown away by the level of service on the ship! It was amazing! We've never experienced that level of service anywhere! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I'm so glad y'all got your Castaway Cay Day! The island is so beautiful, it's just paradise! I can't wait till we can go back!

[@jackpast]

So glad your cruise went back to Castaway Cay! Time goes so fast there. As far as Remy goes, we did it last year on the Fantasy and it was the best meal and service I've ever experienced. Oh, and you're right...be prepared to pay a lot.

[@shareea202]

I’m catching up on your vlogs but, wanted to comment on this one in particular. Your did NOT exaggerate about Disney Dream’s exceptional service by EVERYONE. From the room stewards to the entertainment cast members provide the best vacation experience I have ever had, hands down!

[@scottgunerman]

Awesome set of videos! I’m a passionate fan of DCL and heading out for our 6th cruise in July and prior or each trip I like to search KZbin for DCL content to get pumped up for our impending trip but also for ideas on shots I want to take for my own channel. This is very well done and I appreciate that you guys are real people actually enjoying life and not trying to act like KZbin celebrities which drives me nuts. Keep it real and keep putting out content, I love your style!✨💫

[@BlairLamb]

Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching! Hope you have the most amazing cruise in July!

[@CheySands]

So glad you guys were able to go!

[@laurensawyer330]

So happy you were able to spend time at Castaway Cay! Weather looked amazing!

[@karenschlumpf4532]

Crumb sweeper ... yup, totally know what that is. Thank you so much for the videos! (And I love your Etsy - look forward to getting my own cruise t-shirts :o)

[@landonandlisa]

My husband and I are big Disney World goers...but these vlogs are making me want to do a Disney Cruise so bad! We have never been! And what a fun day that looked like on Castaway Cay! Enjoying all your Disney travel vlogs so much :)

[@knkdayinthelife3897]

Yes, gotta love a crumb sweeper. It made me so happy when they did that at Victoria and Alberts.

[@BlairLamb]

It is so satisfying!

[@jessicaslovelylife3794]

I was so so excited to get my Monday morning coffee and sit down before work and watch your video! Made my day

[@BlairLamb]

Thanks for watching!

[@iluvhugs1000]

I am a new subscriber and loving your videos!! Your vlogs are wonderful. You both seem to be genuine and kind. 😊

[@BlairLamb]

Thank you, Mystique. 💗 (Lovely name!)

[@gesmit3]

Also, I totally know what the "crumb sweeper" thing is! Laughed when Riley said he didn't think anyone knows what it is because he didn't know.

[@ChaChingDream]

Disney Cruises are the absolute best!

[@corriepenrod2842]

i’ve been binge watching all these vlogs i love it!

[@jills3649]

Happy Anniversary to you both! You looked beautiful in your dress. Thank you for sharing your experience. After watching your vlogs, I told my husband that I want to go on a Disney cruise for our 20th Anniversary in a couple of years!

[@BlairLamb]

Thank you so much, Jill! :) Hope you guys get to go on one!

[@shelbist.pierre4325]

I am soon to be planning my 10th Disney Cruise (my boyfriend’s 2nd one). I am so glad you fully discussed about Remy because of course we wanted to experience and I didn’t know anything about it! Thank you for going step by step!

[@shelbist.pierre4325]

And also don’t worry about crying when it comes to Disney’s cruise line. I literally cry just thinking about going on another one!

[@jessiewitherow483]

“Crumb sweeper” 😂 I know exactly what you are talking about!

[@delacruzjeffrey]

The explanation of Remy was my fav. Still debating Remy on my cruise

[@angtek81]

Remy was amazing!!! We had an anniversary dinner there our last cruise. Best dinning experience I’ve ever had😊❤️

[@dianereynolds9781]

So happy you got to go to Castaway Cay!!! Remy sounds fantastic. I have been to maybe one restaurant that sounds that fancy, but I would love to try Remy. You and Riley looked so nice and make such a cute couple. What a wonderful trip!

[@BlairLamb]

Thank you, Diane. This day was fantastic!

[@amyh7261]

Wow, what an amazing day! So happy you guys were able to go back with better weather!

[@BlairLamb]

Us too! Thanks for watching!

[@BonnyL]

Remy sounds absolutely amazing! We've been to a couple higher-end restaurants but nothing like what Remy sounds like. I'm thinking Victoria and Alberts may be similar which is one on our bucket list to do.

[@BlairLamb]

Yes! We've never been to V&As, but have heard that it's similar. We'd love to go one day!

[@tmack1078]

This looks so fun i hope to take a Disney Cruise some day!!!! 🚢🚢

[@redhead9882]

Crumb collectors or table scrapers. Fine dining use them between courses. So happy you enjoyed... Loving the videos

[@BlairLamb]

Hahaha, thank you!

[@mybby1966]

I am just loving these vlogs! I wish your cruise was longer! lol That water looked so beautiful 😍 Thanks for sharing and you both looked so nice all dressed up for Remy!

[@BlairLamb]

Thank you for watching!!! We wish our cruise was longer too!

[@annahaiar979]

What a dream! Thank you for sharing all your wonderful adventures.

[@jen-jenm229]

I am sooo happy for you guys 😍⚘⚘ The joy you guys are experiencing from your trip just overflows. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@greentxmama]

Absolutely LOVE this Disney cruise series... And your other Disney prep and visiting vids. 💕 Thanks for taking us along! :)

[@Kim-dw6gu]

You two looked so nice! I'm glad you had an amazing trip.

[@Kim-dw6gu]

Maybe the next time you find yourselves at Walt Disney World, you can give Victoria and Albert's a try. I would love to hear your reactions. Also, CRUMB SWEEPER.

[@rachaelkluba2443]

Remy sounds amazing!!!

[@AliceCullen10]

Remy sounds awesome! I’ve only done Palo brunch, but you guys make me want to try out Remy.

[@teresabaltazar2130]

The colors of the water is just unbelievable. Yes, it was quiet without kidz. Nice...M♡M of 5

[@Karideplov]

There is a restaurant in my dad’s hometown (in spain) where everyone books their wedding or communion or celebratory reception/event at and they use crumb sweepers, . It’s for super fancy restaurants

[@erikamacias4940]

You made it to Castaway Cay!! Awesome!! / What a magical night! We'll have to book Remy next time we go on a Disney Cruise.

[@JessRunsWithScissors]

This one is SO GOOD I have to watch it twice lol

[@BlairLamb]

Hehehe, thank you!

[@lucianagarbim]

Great vlog! Castaway Cay looks gorgeous, I'm glad you got to go, I was worried it would rain again.

[@debmoye1985]

Thanks for bringing us along!

[@berryknobberry2465]

Crumb sweeper! That's what I call it too lol.

[@thedaviszone5187]

Thank you so much for explaining Remy! I have wondered about it but never heard anyone describe the experience. We want to book a Disney Cruise & REMY RESERVATIONS! ty

[@fmm269]

So glad you got to go to Castaway Cay!! Surprised the water was cold, when we were there just in mid April it was pretty warm! Yes Remy is amazing!! 🙌🏻

[@BlairLamb]

We were surprised, too. I'm sure it had to do with the string of storms that hit the day before! It was chilly!

[@LaurenDanielle616]

If you don't like calling you ask questions, the dcl website has a chat feature where you can live chat with cast/crew members. I get on there and ask questions all the time.

[@violetmusic4145]

When I went to a Royal Caribbean cruise, the restaurant The Great Gatsby was pretty fancy but not even as fancy as Remy sounds!

[@juliediane1352]

I found your vlogs from a post on our cruise Facebook group. You were so positive in the face of all that rain. Thank you for creating these thorough overviews of your trip. It’s amazing. You said you were going to do a Q & A so I have some questions! Where do you get the tubes at Castaway Cay? We want to snorkel and possibly parasail should I pay ahead of time? You went to lunch at sit down restaurants, can you explain the dining rotation for dinner and lunch? What did you have to pay out of pocket for? Such as the coffee at cafe? Did you feel like you missed out on anything?

[@BlairLamb]

Thank you for watching and for your questions!

[@PacificOcean17]

What a wonderful experience!

[@daniellem4157]

Loving these vlogs! That water was just perfection, how beautiful! How lovely they were able to turn back to visit it! I want to go on a Disney cruise now! First I gotta visit Disney world though 😅

[@BlairLamb]

We're so glad we got to go at the end of the day, too!

[@TravelWithTheEagle]

Castaway Cay is paradise. I got spoiled because my first cruise was a double dip one with 2 stops at castaway, I've always wanted to try Remy I know they also have a bunch. I always end up doing palo for brunch and dinner. I easily spend 3 hours at both. Did you guys take advantage of the onboard future booking discount? ❤🦅

[@BlairLamb]

A double dip would be so amazing!! We can't wait to try Palo next time.

[@cybereagle19]

Try a 7 day on the fantasy, plenty of time for remy and palo 😁

[@ozarkeusful]

Just found your channel! I love your vlogs! It looks like the Dream is soo much fun :)

[@TobyTV]

I worked at Cipriani in ny during college... I know the “crumb sweeper “ all too well lol

[@AshleyPlansItAll]

Hi Blair, I am too excited about our upcoming MerryTime cruise and have been binging on your videos. Do you remember seeing bikes with a child seat on the back while you were on Castaway Cay? A huge part of my plans for the island were to take a family bike ride with the kiddos on the back.

[@BlairLamb]

Hmm, I don't remember. I bet if you Google it, it'll come up on the DCL cruise forums! That would be so much fun.

[@amyvermeersch1111]

That looks like such an amazing day. How wonderful! That dinner sounds heavenly too.

[@Natti_nash23]

I am in love with all of your videos! I find them so entertaining and motivating. I love you and Riley and CHARLIE! What a beautiful and blessed family you have.

[@BlairLamb]

Thank you, Natalia!

[@willandkinz]

New subscriber from okc...love ur channel! I have binge watched all ur videos! Great cruise!

[@jessicacostley3960]

I didn't get down to Serenity Bay but looking forward to it next year if I can talk the kids into going to the kids area. :) I'm surprised there wasn't availability for Palo - we were added to the waiting list about 9:30 and they called us back within 30 minutes offering several times for brunch. It was really good and I think you'll enjoy it next time.

[@suareza1]

Glad you had a good time!

[@laurad1754]

Hi Blair! My husband and I booked a very last minute Disney getaway for my birthday! We leave in just under 3 weeks. Seeing how much fun you and Riley have at Disney really motivated us to go - WITHOUT our kids. Serious Mom guilt over here, but I hope to get over it soon. I wanted to ask you about paying off the charges on the room with Disney gift cards. I remember on your recent trip vlog you went down to guest services the day before checkout to pay off the balance. I just chatted with a CM on MDE, but they said the charges are settled overnight, not at the end of the trip. Any feedback you can give is appreciated. Loving the Disney cruise videos and can't wait to see the new ones you are planning.

[@BlairLamb]

Hi Laura! You'll want to go to Guest Services the night before your last day. (We usually go in the afternoon.) There, you can pay off your balance before it gets charged to your CC. The exception to this is if you hit your limit (check with GS to see what that is) before you get to the desk to pay. Hope that makes sense.

[@angielahijadelrey]

crumb sweeper? so lost on that lol.....glad yall got to go to castway cay! fun fun fun

[@BlairLamb]

Hahaha, us too!!

[@megangrabenstein1354]

Please make a Disney cruise haul of all the merch you bought on the cruise!

[@BlairLamb]

It's tacked on the end of my last Disney cruise vlog!

[@monicab28]

Blair, what kind of foundation do you wear?!? It is amazing!!!

[@BlairLamb]

Burt's Bees! I love it!

[@urika01]

LOVED!!!

[@theswartzfam1003]

There is a restaurant we go to in Chicago with the crumb sweeper thing.

[@cwdefouw]

Since you go to Disney a lot, you should eventually try Victoria and Albert's at the Grand Floridian. IMHO, the experience is even better than Remy. Also, if you really want to treat yourself on your next cruise, you should try to get a private cabana at Serenity Bay. They are in high demand and are pricey, and we never thought we would splurge for it, but now that we have tried it, I think that it will probably just be a cost that we factor in and always try to get one. Great video's, always nice to see a first timer's experience. Our 14th Disney Cruise is coming up in September.

[@BlairLamb]

😍😍😍 Ooooh. We'd love to try V&A's and a private cabana!! Have a wonderful cruise in September! 14 cruises is a dream!

[@margaretrotolo7181]

I am going in feb,2020,is the weather pretty much the same all the time,or is it colder around the pool in the ship and at castaway

[@constance788]

Great video. I was wondering if your back affects how long you can bike or is walking the only difficulty?

[@BlairLamb]

Hi Constance! Thanks for watching! Walking is one of the best things I can do for my back--it really helps loosen up everything and makes me feel better. Biking is different; I can do it for an hour or so, and then the pain starts. I've learned to just try certain activities and stop whenever my body tells me to stop! Hah!

[@sammia4227]

I know what crumb sweeper thing you’re talking about LOL

[@isabelrivera6891]

Blair! i love your videos!!!

[@BlairLamb]

Thanks for watching, Isabel!!!

[@MyWestiesTV]

Great video thanks for sharing!

[@LisaEicholtz]

Some of the cruises have two days at castaway . Is there enough to do on the island for two full days

[@MrBjbates]

I am dying to go to Remy! You must try Victoria and Albert’s or The Flying Fish Prix Fix Chef’s arable.

[@BlairLamb]

Would love to try both!!

[@karenharrington6710]

you should do Alaska!!!

[@CharlesWalhingford]

LOL Crumb Scraper

[@ashg91]

Did you use the “go pro” like camera on castaway cay? I literally could watch your videos all day. Love them.

[@BlairLamb]

I did! Thank you!

[@GarnerTV14]

The description of your time at Remy was so heartwarming and makes me want to book another cruise just to try Remy. We did Palo on our honeymoon cruise and it too was a wonderful experience, but it doesn’t compare to what Remy was described as. Did you all use a travel agent or book on your own?

[@BlairLamb]

We booked it on our own. We really look forward to trying Palo next time!! ♥️♥️

[@karlasosa6302]

I would love to eat a 5 course menu but I think I'll be super full at second course. And that’s why I never go to buffets, I only eat one plate! 🙄 Disney Cruise Question! Is it worth having a balcony at your stateroom, or just with a window would be just fine?

[@BlairLamb]

I get full very quickly too! I will say that each course's portion is very small, which allowed me to try everything. And just a window would be lovely, though we definitely enjoyed a balcony.

[@thedaviszone5187]

Hi! Did you make your hat that you are wearing (the one with your initials ) after castaway cay beach? Is it available on your esty?

[@BlairLamb]

Riley made it, but we don't sell it in our Etsy shop! If you search "monogrammed baseball hat" on Etsy, you'll find lots of shops that do.

[@Locke19901]

The water was freezing in May? That stinks!

[@rebeccamockett3254]

Yayyyy ❤️❤️ you just made My Monday ❤️❤️

[@joannsalas7015]

I’m glad you made it to Cataway Cay, looks gorgeous! So after this cruise, do you want to return to WDW or another cruise first? Looks like its a hard decision, lol :-)

[@BlairLamb]

SUCH a hard decision! Hah!

[@etrowbridge1014]

If you had to pick between wdw or Disney cruise which would you choose?

[@BlairLamb]

Such a hard decision, pros/cons to each. I'm going to film a video addressing this very thing, it'll be live next week! :)

[@mkforever8056]

So question... is the food and activities extra on castaway cay?

[@BlairLamb]

The food is included, the excursions and activities are extra.

[@ilove2dancee]

I knew what you meant by crumbsweeper!!

[@BlairLamb]

Thank you!! ;)

[@gesmit3]

Where are your glasses and the glasses holder around your neck from?

[@BlairLamb]

My sunglasses are RayBans from 5 years ago and the holder is from a brand called Croakies!

[@CyndiAKADisneyqueen]

Are there still plenty of things to do on the ship the day they are at Castaway Key? Because my family are really not hang at the beach in the sand people. LOL

[@BlairLamb]

I'm sure there are, and the ship will probably be empty! I would not miss it though, it's gorgeous. Maybe just spend an hour or two biking or swimming? The water is beautiful!

[@CyndiAKADisneyqueen]

Thanks for replying. We don't swim either LOL. I would probably go and take some photos and then go back onboard. I like cruising for the opportunity to see different touring sites. Guess it would be a chill on ship day for us. LOL

[@lelelanaee6968]

Do they have dole whip ?

[@BlairLamb]

It's an extra charge onboard. We never got one on the ship--I don't know why--they're my favorite in the parks!

[@LisaEicholtz]

Victoria and Albert is just like Remi I guess

[@markro1121]

I will like too go too Disney cruise line

[@alana09199]

*cay!!!! Don’t worry, I say it wrong too! Lol

[@BlairLamb]

It's pronounced "key!" Did I say it wrong? I tried really hard! ;)

[@christinacarroll1369]

Remy sounds amazing! I cant wait to try it one day. Is there a place like Remy on the cruise to eat at WDW?

[@BlairLamb]

Yes, it's called Victoria & Alberts at The Grand Floridian. Our waitress explained some connection between V&As and Remy, but I unfortunately don't remember it.

[@haleykennedy4017]

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT

[@BlairLamb]

Hahaha! thank you!

[@avgeek3255]

I didn't realise Disney had its own island.....it looks like you both had a truly magical day exploring the island and taking in its beauty. I'm so glad the weather came through for you! (and on my birthday! Hee hee). And your meal: what a treat! On the Thursday hus surprised me by taking me to a local michelin star restaurant (it's literally a few miles down the road and I had no idea it existed!) and we had a 6 course tasting menu that evening with mocktails and they tailored the menu for my pregnancy and created a special menu for me sans meat! There were lovely little touches like a birthday dessert with a message handwritten in chocolate and handmade truffles....so so special! I think it's so sweet that we both enjoyed such a special, unforgettable meal on the same night!

[@BlairLamb]

Aww, happy belated birthday! Wow, your birthday meal sounds fantastic. Yum! So lovely.
