GREAT STIRRUP CAY, BAHAMAS | Norwegian's Private Island & How we spent the day | NCL Cruise

[@AmaiwanTraveler]

It's refreshing to see the real side of travel, from the long lines to beautiful beaches. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!

[@memohunter5689]

Thanks for your video. I will be there in January. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. I'm going to hang with the clam shell on the beach. Also, glad to know the drink pkg can be used there.

The line for the towels 😮 great tip to grab one the day before. Well, at least your umbrella protected you from the sun 🌞 and the rain 🌧️ That coconut fudge dessert looked great!

[@TheAverageTourist]

Yeah we won't make the towel mistake again and thankfully Alan needs his shade so it worked out in out favour both ways to have that umbrella. Delish dessert for sure.

[@Travelsheesh]

Amazing tour! The food look so delicious and lots of variety is there to taste. One should definitely try the cruises and enjoy the beach at its best.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thank you! Yes lots of variety for food there. The beach was beautiful 😍

[@paradise-adventures]

The beach looks great. A nice way to enjoy and relax. It's good that the drinks and food are including in your package. The ziplining looks fun. Shame about the weather conditions.

[@KitatheExplorer]

Oh my, that is really good to know about when to get a towel. That queue definitely cut into your time on the island. And good thing you were the only ship there as it would’ve been too busy! And glad you were able to make most of your time despite the storms.

[@TheAverageTourist]

That line for the towels was just the first of many that day. It would be nice if they had a pier they could dock at to get everyone on the island faster.

[@traveladvisorak6065]

That's a nice overview of Norwegian Cruise line, you experienced all weathers on the cruise.🙂

[@TheAverageTourist]

We really did - everything but snow 🤣

[@TravellerSB]

The beach looks serene. What great views....loved it

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks so much!

[@rightrecipefortravel]

Nice that you were the only ship at the time. It looked like a real fun day. I enjoyed the tour.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks! It was nice to have a few hours of sun at least

[@vickisworldtravel]

Looks amazing despite of the weather, thank you for sharing x

[@KayandGogo]

Wow good tip for the towels. I suppose its to be expected with so many people waiting and lines but honestly this puts me off a cruise. Good that the drinks package works for the island Shame about the weather but still looked warm. Lunch buffet looked good.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Yes the towel line was so long! We enjoyed the sunshine while we had it (at least I did 🤣 my husband preferred the rain)

[@SaltyBeaverExplores]

It looks like the island was very nice. The lighthouse was so pretty with the pictures painted on it. Too bad you had rain and crowds.

[@TheAverageTourist]

We still had a great time despite the crowds and weather. If we go back I'll be hoping for sunshine 🌞

[@Migratory-Nerds]

Our only NCL cruise was to Alaska so we haven't had the opportunity to visit Great Stirrup Cay - great overall review.

[@wrxs1781]

Good video, and to bad about the rain on the island excursion.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks so much! Yeah we will just have to go back on a nicer day if we can.

[@StepsbyKaatje]

I guess this was not the best excursion... Long lines and rain. But the temperature looked nice and warm... At least something... Good overview!

[@TheAverageTourist]

We made the best of it. Weather is never in your control unfortunately 🤦‍♀️

[@traveladvisorak6065]

Enjoyed it again

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks!

[@TripsCultureTC]

Beautiful experience on this boat, and the private island is just amazing. However, it's sad that the rain spoiled the atmosphere a bit.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Yes the rain killed the day, but we still had a good time.

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

Crazy that they own their own island. Amazing what they've done with it. The beaches look fantastic. Nice that the drink packages carry over. I'd be ticked if I paid extra for that but, while on the island they decided to extort me for more money.

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

Is everything on the island included outside of souvenirs?

[@AndysWorldJourneys]

looks like it would be amazing in good weather. i guess it can't be perfect everyday!! why are the ferries to the ship called 'tenders' I havent heard that term before.... except for chicken tenders that is lol! someone was in their element under and umbrella playing games on his phone....

[@TheAverageTourist]

Haha I always think of chicken tenders, too when it comes to those boats. No idea why they are called that.

[@juleebailey3046]

Can you rent the clamshell when you arrive on the island?

[@TheAverageTourist]

Yes, there were plenty available, we chose an umbrella because it was front row to the water.

[@TravelingAtoZ]

We got rained out the last time we went to the island. The food looked good. We just left and didn’t try the food. Next time!

[@TheAverageTourist]

I hope we cam get back again on a sunnier day! The food was pretty good 👍

[@brandonbrown5166]

A bit above average I’d say 😜

[@TheAverageTourist]

🙌 thanks
