Finally got to experience Lookout Cay last week on the Wish. It was apparently the first Wish sailing with a stop there, according to our rotational dining staff so it was new for most of the crew, too. The walk does stink, especially heading back to the ship after a day at the beach. It didn't ruin our day or anything, but some CM's we talked to that evening weren't fans of the walk, either. Fortunately, we had beautiful weather (i think the high was 74° F) so it wasn't a brutal trek back but I wouldn't want to make that walk back in the afternoon during the summer. The beach and buildings are beautiful. We ended up getting a couple chairs and an umbrella near the Cultural Center, so all we had to do was stand up and turn around to see the Junkanoo celebration when it was happening. I like the seating better for dining - it seems like there are more covered areas for eating in the shade and the big fans they have to determine the flies really helped keep it comfortable while we ate.
The process for allergy orders was good, too. Instead of checking in and taking a metal table marker and waiting for someone to find your table to deliver your food, they give you a pager so you know when your food is ready and then you go back to get it yourself.
Overall, I think they did a good job of giving Lighthouse Point a different energy than Castaway Cay, so it doesn't feel like 2 stops at the same place if you're on a sailing that stops at both places. I do wish it didn't take 30 minutes to get from the ship to the beach (the walk to the tram plus the tram ride) because that eats up a good chunk of time getting there and back, but it was a fun day despite that.
Glad the weather was nice for you!
