\"Cookie's\"<\/p>\n

Welcome to Cookie’s!<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the great things about a Disney Cruise<\/a> that stops at Castaway Cay<\/a> is that you can easily eat on the island without spending any additional money. Of course, if you want a cocktail or a beer, you\u2019re going to have to pony up. But if you want soft drinks, ice cream, or lunch, you\u2019re covered.<\/p>\n

\"mylunch\"<\/p>\n

my lunch<\/em><\/p>\n

There are two buffet style restaurants on the island, Cookie\u2019s, and Cookie\u2019s Too. Both share identical menus and d\u00e9cor; the only difference is the location. On our Castaway Cay day, we had lunch at Cookie\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\"Cookie\"<\/p>\n

What do you get for dessert at a place called Cookie’s?<\/em><\/p>\n

Cookie\u2019s is a casual open-air restaurant, with a buffet featuring barbecue favorites and their signature cookies. Seating is at picnic tables under shade. Nearby are soda machines and the all-important self-serve, soft serve ice cream. (The flavors during our visit were the same as on the ship: chocolate, vanilla, chocolate\/vanilla swirl, banana, strawberry, and banana\/strawberry swirl.)<\/p>\n

\"couscous\"<\/p>\n

couscous and tomato salad<\/em><\/p>\n

Burgers, veggie burgers, ribs, grilled fish and hot dogs were offered, as well as a tasty salsa. Sides included fluffy couscous, salads, cole slaw and a tasty tomato salad. Corn on the cob and baked beans are also available, and were found next to the barbecued chicken.<\/p>\n

For dessert, they offered cute, tiny little loaf cakes and fruit salad comprised of melons and pineapple. They also offered banana bread, and you can\u2019t have a place called Cookie\u2019s without cookies \u2013 huge, soft, delicious cookies.<\/p>\n

\"desserts\"<\/p>\n

Dessert options<\/em><\/p>\n

My burger was cooked\u00a0medium, and I prefer mine rare, but it certainly didn\u2019t taste like it had been sitting under lights all day. It was flavorful and large. The cold salsa and fruit salad were perfect on a hot humid Bahamian day. I would add that I wish there were more cold options, just because we were all sweltering.<\/p>\n

\"moredesserts\"<\/p>\n

more desserts, including their famous cookies<\/em><\/p>\n

On to the chocolate chip cookie! I was saving myself for soft serve ice cream (again, anything to cool off) but I couldn\u2019t go to a place called Cookie\u2019s and not taste their cookie! So I bribed my daughter to let her give me a taste of hers. The enormous cookie was delicious!<\/p>\n

When I finished my lunch I filled up again on some diet soda with plenty of ice and served myself up the tallest banana-strawberry cone I could. My technique definitely got better as the cruise went on, and it\u2019s comforting to know that if yours completely falls off the cone, there\u2019s no charge to try again.<\/p>\n

Cookie\u2019s is rather basic and I would have loved to see more cold salads available. However, it was wonderful to step out of the water, towel off, head to Cookie\u2019s in our bathing suits, eat a hearty meal, and head back into the water.<\/p>\n
