I wish the new private island had a pool.

Does anyone else?

I agree but they probably don’t want the maintenance involved with a pool vs having to do nothing with the ocean other can keep the shoreline looking nice.

No. Plenty of pools on the ships. The ocean and private beaches are what I look forward to.

Those aren’t pools. They are small pots of people soup

 

[bobbiwoz]

I can’t walk on sand or into/out of ocean. So, I am very disappointed. I have stayed on the ship and do use that adult pool, but I was hoping to be able to enjoy the new private island.

They're much less likely to be people soup on island day, though.

No. I much prefer ocean and slides

If this is because of mobility issues, check and see if they might have "beach wheelchairs" several years ago, I broke my foot prior to a family vacation to Hawaii.. at a popular snorkel beach they had these cool wheelchairs with super big wheel that my family pushed me around the beach in, including into the water! Once I was in the water I was fine, and when I wanted to get out I just paddled close, they pulled the wheelchair next to me I got in and took me to my beach umbrella.

Since I don't use mobility aids on a regular basis, I don't know if Castaway or new place will have something similar, but they should! Maybe start asking now, and they might, to be more inclusive.

Yeah, those darn laws of physics limit how big pools can be on a ship.

Yes it is due to mobility issues, and yes, there are wheel chairs that go on sand on CC. I always thought they would be very difficult to push. Yet, your family was able to help you. Mmm, and the wheelchair was able to in the water. I definitely will look into it. Next CC stop for me will be in September. DH is 78, so it may not work for us, but maybe it will!

This island looks so boring, sheesh. Looks like just a bunch of upcharge cabanas and some shade sails. Lame.

To be fair, that’s what Castaway feels like to me. It’s never really been my thing. I wish they had gone with a plan that is notably different than Castaway so we’d have real choices, but this looks mostly like a clone of Castaway with a different layout and different design language.

The lack of waterslides is a much bigger problem.

 

[wendlle]

I live at the ocean, and I can't stand sand.
I'd prefer a pool any day.
the ones on the ships aren't "pools" they are just water for standing in.

Wow. I just love the Gilligan's Island feel. I can do waterslides at home. I can't do a deserted island at home.

Does anyone else?

The new Disney cruise line's private island has a lovely tropical paradise sea it's a dream to be in paradise. Keep following Disney cruise line social media pages because they might show you a picture of the swimming pool and hopefully they have a swimming pool at the new private island.

I wish the same thing. Would have liked a bit more to do, like some slides (or at least an area with a few slides!)

But can I say I would love a lazy river?
