Disney Cruise Line shares construction updates for new Bahamas site Lookout Cay
With three months out before the first visitors will be welcomed to Disney’s new Bahamas destination, Disney Cruise Line showed off some photos of construction updates.
Opening in June, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point at the southern end of Eleuthera is the cruise line’s second private port of call in the Bahamas adding to Castaway Cay.
On an update to the Disney Parks Blog, the line showed off three images including an aerial shot of the colorful line of the Mabrika Cove Cabanas that would be one of the first things approaching visitors would see as cruise ships approach the dock.
“Mabrika” the Taino word for “welcome.” Disney said Taino was spoken by native Lucayans.
Also shared were images of the shell-themed architecture that acts as shade covering over pavilions designed to look like seashells scattered along the coastline offering up seating for the free on-shore True-True Too BBQ dining option for visitors.
The pavilions will feature art inspired by coral, seashells, fish and flowers of Eleuthera.
