Great Stirrup Cay

Norwegian Cruise Line has created a beautiful island getaway in the Bahamas. NCL also continues to invest heavily on adding additional luxury and options to make the stop a unique and enjoyable experience.

Beautiful island! The lagoon was so nice, and the beach was so pretty! Overall, we enjoyed our time here a lot. They have some food options (burger, hotdog, tacos), and luckily the drinks were still included in our drink package. The only downside, we were in Norwegian Jewel. Somehow, the ship always got deprioritized. We did tender couple of times, including here.

There is a ship dock and pool with a swim up bar and so much more. There is a train/ golf cart with multiple cabooses attached, to take you around the island.They are still doing construction on a water park and other thinks. Loved it!

Great Stirrup Cay is a beautiful island with crystal-clear water and clean white sand. The staff were friendly and the activities were well organized. It’s a very relaxing place to spend the day perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and just enjoying the beach. The only downside is that there’s no port, so the ship can’t dock directly. You need to transfer to a tender boat, which takes extra time. But overall, the experience was still worth it.

🚢Great Stirrup Cay is Norwegian Cruise Line’s private island paradise, located in the Berry Islands of the Bahamas, and it is an absolutely fantastic stop on any NCL itinerary. From the moment you arrive by tender, the island feels well-organized, clean, and designed for relaxation and fun, with crystal-clear turquoise water, soft white-sand beaches, and plenty of loungers and shaded areas available. The complimentary beachside food is excellent for an island day, with a wide variety of options that make it easy to enjoy lunch without rushing back to the ship, and the bars scattered around the island keep drinks flowing smoothly. There are activities for every type of traveler, from swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking to simply enjoying the calm water and scenic views, while the adults-only Vibe Beach Club offers a quieter, more upscale experience. The island is easy to navigate, staff are friendly and helpful, and everything runs efficiently, which makes the day feel stress-free and truly enjoyable. Overall, Great Stirrup Cay is a beautiful, well-maintained private island that perfectly complements a Norwegian Cruise Line vacation and stands out as a highlight of any Caribbean cruise.

It was the first Norwegian ship to dock. The place is similar to other cruise lines private island. Beautiful beaches, turquoise waters, music and party. The pool is spectacular. The place is under construction so, it will be even more amazing

Google tourist trap, and this might pop up! Soon they’re making it so your drink packages will not be available on THEIR island. The only food options we had were cold tacos, hot dogs, hamburgers, cold jerked chicken and pizza. Everything lacked flavor. The island looked like it was a landfill I get the construction but it just looked really 3rd world to me. Don’t get me started on the pier! 🤣🤪

So easy to explore everything! Beautiful 🏖️ beach. Great survive.
