Beautiful beach, decent food and drink options. Ability to relax or have extra fun snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking or other things at an additional expense.

No actual port, limited options other than swimming and zip lining. There is a tiny straw market of 8-10 souvenir huts. Clear cool water with beautiful snorkeling.

Beautiful beach! Great for snorkeling! Better to buy a snorkeling mask in advance because to rent on the beach is 37 dollars.

The zipline was awesome! There are a few shops where you can purchase local crafts and souvenirs, and the food was good. The beach is excellent, although I did spot a large stingray. The rental cost for snorkels, goggles, and swimming gear was quite expensive. Nevertheless, the island is picture perfect.

Highly recommend a cabana. Comes with floats and a shower in the back. Fan, power, towels, chairs and water in a mini fridge. Was disappointed that the details when we purchased the cabana said that there would be service, but there wasn’t. Iguanas everywhere! Very cool! Great views. Nice way to relax. Excellent snorkeling and the lifeguard on the kayak made it feel extra safe.

Good click, here you've found a full video tour of the island, from start to finish... and some of my best photos ever published... Who knew NCL owned an island? They do! Welcome to "Great Stirrup Cay" It used to be referred to as "Paradise Island," but a property in the Bahamas, with the extravagant Atlantis Hotel, has since taken claim to that moniker... NCL has spared no expense; over a million dollars, to turn this rock into quite an exclusive hot spot for its tendered cruise passengers. ONLY NCL can port here, so if you're looking to duplicate the experience here on this review, you'll have to book through one of their fleet...

Absolutely the best part of the cruise! We loved having the Cabana. It was quiet and a constant breeze over the water created a relaxing day.

What an amazing place! I was there with my husband as a part of our cruise (NCL) and we spanned the day there. It is beautiful. White sandy beach, amazing blue waters and Plenty of places to take waderful pictures at. We did a kayak tour around the island and it was great. I will truly remember this experience for ever.
