Is OCEAN CAY the BEST Private Island in the Bahamas?? (MSC Cruises)

[@skipfrey4603]

Ocean Cay is by far my favorite private island. My last cruise, we were there for over 24 hours, I really liked that. I like that only one ship at a time docks there. Makes for a very relaxing experience. The Yacht Club section is really nice as well. Private beach, restaurant and bar. Maybe we could do a group cruise with MSC sometime. Just saying.

[@arlene4033]

I agree with you 100%

[@ship_facts]

Ocean Cay is definitely one of my favorite private islands! I was also just on MSC Meraviglia! Keep up the awesome work!

[@papercitygamerjeff1437]

i just went to south beach and found a nice couple trees and was lucky to have shade for the day. Ocean cay was a great place to just relax and swim, also did shipwreck snorkling. My only complaint was to get drinks was a bit of a walk. if they add more water and drink stations would be awesome.

[@EECCTravels]

I said that too! More drink stations would have been nice.

[@BeCreativewithTerryJeanette]

Love love this island. It is the best!!! You did a great job taking us on a tour of it.Thank you

[@intallpines]

Just lovely, beginning to end. Thank you and enjoy the rest! xox

[@vickikeiper7941]

Thank you for many of the details, such as the operating hours of the beaches and food areas. I wouldn't have thought they would close so early.

[@keithanthony9449]

I can't wait to visit that island. It looks so chill. An overnight stay sounds amazing!

[@nonaloeffler308]

I am new to your channel, and I love how you show and talk about stuff. very easy to listen to and enjoy. keep up the great work.

[@thomaslower5375]

I do not get to tell you guys enough that I just love you both , I have been following you since 2020 , love all of your adventures, I just love how your hair is looking missy , keep taking us with you 💜🛳💜🛳💜🛳💜

[@larrymayberry2312]

As always, a great review of your travels. Thanks guys !

[@susananderson618]

WOW that private island looks amazing! We are BEACH people all the way. I noticed your sun burn as the day progressed! That black cod looked yummy, love fish as well. Jason seems to be a much more adventuresome eater, not me! Another great video! Oh that water looked so so inviting! Thanks for sharing this video with us!

We spent 2 days at Ocean Cay. It was kind of neat spending the night. We were lucky that we had a starboard side balcony. The first day, we spent the day at Ocean Cay lagoon where we rented an umbrella. $14/day. The second day we spent at Bimini beach and it was quiet. I fell asleep. We found a tree to camp under for some shade. We ate at the buffet on day one and at the little blue shack you were filming on day 2. The difference? At the buffet, you have more salad options, other items to choose from besides a burger ("jerk" chicken, hotdogs) and more dessert options. You also had a drink station with water, lemonade, sodas and beer. Speaking of which, I'm a Mich Ultra drinker and never had a problem getting one while on the island.

[@reneeoverbeck7866]

Ocean Cay looks absolutely perfect!😊

[@Taraz1313]

We went to Ocean Cay when it first opened in December 2019 so nice to see how it has evolved since then must get back soon ☀️ back then too it was a really nice private island for adults for a relaxing and free (if you have drinks package) chill beach day!! I like that it doesn’t have big waterparks like Coco Cay, it’s a different vibe so hard to compare but we really enjoyed that

[@loufranmartinez4135]

Oh my sound great...I'm going in 29 days thank you ...can't wait I'll have to watch the whole vlog if you have on👍

[@epicgameztv]

ok the night life on the island is kicking it.. looked busy.. very cool.. now i need to add this to my already long list of cruise stops.

[@levelone7143]

Ocean Cay looks wonderful !

[@ShipToShoreCruiseNews]

Great Video! Oh that Tuna looked GREAT! And the Cheesecake!

[@ZosoPlayer]

Great video guys! Love private island beach days

[@tinybubbles263]

Yes I love msc ocean cay. Snorkel right next to ship near rocks on shore. Free food buffet on island but times are limited during lunch. Some areas in beach need water shoes.

[@0to100Art]

Beautiful video 😍 thanks for sharing ✨

[@laurie1stringer]

We’re overnight at Ocean Cay on our Seaside Halloween cruise in October… can’t wait!!!

[@markm9947]

Really enjoyed this. Thanks

[@martins4860]

One of my favorite islands to visit

[@beccaj7978]

I love ocean cay especially the tram service

[@dianagroppa8971]

Silly question… I’m in love with the orange printed zip up top your female friend was wearing over dinner. If she wouldn’t mind sharing where she got it?….. thank you. Enjoying your vlogs as always 😊

[@adventureswithmachell]

Ocean Cay looks pretty. The water looks so clear and blue😍 Plenty of time there too. I dislike short days on ports especially on private islands. I am not a fan of Tuna either!!! The ship looks pretty I haven’t cruised MSC yet. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@totallytania7978]

"Berry Compost!" 😆😄😁Haha!

[@betsyrose9233]

You both always do a great job on recording your journeys. I have watch you guys for a long time. Keep up the awesome work.🤗❤️💐

[@kimberlylengenfelder7972]

Looks fabulous

[@Beachdudeca]

Great beach area that’s about the beach vs a water park. Btw given it’s a single ship docked just to mitigate a lot of food waste & spoilage, I think it’s okay to have a beach buffet for lunch with the understanding that most guests will head back to the ship by the mid afternoon to get cleaned up for Dinner and to enjoy the Light Show & maybe the evening Beach Party. Btw did you ask to have your Fish sides like the Olives switched out for something else?

[@cazziefores2183]

That looked amazing 👍👍😘🇬🇧

[@rebeccalyons1327]

OC is beautiful. The island buffet was not worth the long line to us. You made the right choice going for the food truck.

[@lindastover9541]

Great video ❤❤❤❤

[@garyK.45ACP]

We just spent 2 days there. It was great! South beach on the lagoon was the BEST! There is a lot of natural shade, no need to rent a cabana. The lagoon is very calm and pleasant for swimming. Food is great.

[@jonwood4283]

Well that island looks so idyllic and the option to stay into the evening was good too.

[@Albanwinter]

I'm not much of a beach person any longer but I think you sold me on this one.

[@laurahallman8650]

You guys could take your Drone on MSC? Great video

[@jepcozenith40]

We were there in June on the Seascape. I thought that North Beach island was for Yacht Club members. Didn't even try to go there.

[@bonnielogan6895]

I have a question. What model GoPro do y'all use? Your videos are awesome! BTW, we're from Abbeville, LA.

[@dugsy8]

Hello, love all of your videos. Would like to ask if you can give info on how i can bring and fly my drone over at ocean cay. Thank you!

[@lisawright5674]

I'm with Jason; seared ahi tuna needs to be rare. It's so good that way!

[@highcommander2007]

great review, loved seeing it all. I am not a fan of the look of the food at the Ocean Cay specialty dining... it looked "ok" but I was expecting it to look spectacular. I know I didn't get to taste it, but just what I saw it looked a little underwhelming. I am glad you guys really seemed to enjoy it though!

[@blessednettie69]

I've heard nothing but good things about MSC's private island.

[@ohiorichkidbeats]

Such a beautiful place!

[@cruisebrothers-db44]

The greatest place ever!

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

I really liked Ocean Cay!

[@Jammersjamjam]

Awww.... you missed my favorite part....the party on the beach.

[@jeannettedickey7602]

A group of us went prior to the Covid outbreak so 2020 and we enjoyed the island but the island was very new, small baby plants & trees and I don't think there was transportation to shuttle around. We had a cabana and it was great, we all pitched in so it wasn't bad in price. What we all agreed on that we didn't like about ocean cay was how everything closed early. I think everything even closed earlier than 4pm when we went. We all were disappointed about that and they didn't make a big deal about letting people know they shut things down. So if you want to rent any ocean toys you need to make sure you plan for it to get your money out of it.

[@laurie1stringer]

There’s a great(for a fee) seafood truck before you get to the YC area

[@geezygee]

Found it! Yay! Ty for reviewing this restaurant.. idk why anyone else doesn't 😢

[@geezygee]

Are you able to request things be left off dishes in specialty dining, or is it even advisable? I'm assuming modifications are out, but if I cannot stand a certain thing (like beets, or olives) are you allowed to omit?

[@EECCTravels]

Oh yeah, they can modify dishes as they are made to order. It was really delicious.

[@thelegaultlife3096]

omg you have to link where you got your sun hat at the beginning of this video. Its soo cute, I want one lol

[@almogdrami1531]

The perfect day at cococay is the best private island in the Bahamas

[@NoiBa-xl9zy]

I went on MSC cruise yesterday

[@stelbotadventures]

Virgin Voyages' Bimini Beach Club is the best private island cruise experience! They also have a pool party at night with bonfires.

[@flowers9933]

We Love Ocean Cay. When is the Likes and Dislikes coming out? The Meraviglia is my favorite ship!!! MSC has some issues but I want to hear your thoughts. Soon I hope.

[@wilcuber6376]

are the food trucks on the island complimentary

[@Globetroterzy]

How did you manged to get the drone footage? I was under impression drone is not allowed on board the cruise and you are not allowed to fly drone in Ocean Cay?

[@lilkygirl0284]

If you have 2 days at Ocean Cay how does the cabanas work??

[@jennileephan364]

Was there cell phone service at the island? No cell phone service at NCL private island in Bahamas the last time we were there.

[@sophiegaribay7954]

Can I ask where you got the blow up pool noodles for travel thanks

[@aureliastrosnider9896]

Those specialty restaurants,,,,can you order extra meals after you ate your first meal?

[@caryrae73]

Do the cabanas have a place to lock up stuff when you are not in them?

[@EECCTravels]

Not that we saw but we could be wrong! We had some friends with us and for some reason we didn’t really look around the cabana too much.

[@caryrae73]

@@EECCTravelsthanks.

[@Followingtodd]

How's the entertainment?

[@kayladinwiddie5201]

Did the food trucks have vegetarian options?

[@angieontherun9275]

What ship was it?

[@EECCTravels]

We were on Meraviglia

[@commonsense246]

Woohoo hair has sure grown a lot girl. Pretty primitive compared to Coco Cay but the water on Bimini Beach looks lushious. I don't go on any beach without my water socks.

[@aureliastrosnider9896]

The reason be,,,we have a friend that ate or ordered 3 sirloin meals?!!!

[@rickyrick9501]

I was on MSC this past weekend on their new ship. Came back Sunday morning with an amazing souvenir. Yup you guessed it COVID and boy this time it was so much fun. Tuesday night I enjoyed an endless night of low oxygen in my lungs and buckets of sweat. It's Friday and I still have this wonderful headache. Thanks MSC for being so understaffed that no one was cleaning the stairwells often enough. We had so much fun being forced to take them because of your new horrible elevator service. Can't wait to sail again with my COVID carrying friends onboard. 😊 Thanks MSC

[@SteveCrosd]

Are you really blaming them for Covid. You don’t catch Covid from stairwells

[@rickyrick9501]

@@SteveCrosd uhmmmm yeah I am because the staircase hand rails where full of handprints and a week on the cruise I saw only one person clean them once. They had no staff wiping down. The whole ship barely had any staff to begin with.

[@geezygee]

​@rickyrick9501 it's airborne, it could have been anywhere in the cruise, didn't need to be on a surface. You're also in a small space with 1000s of people; infectious diseases can happen with or without covid involved. Not to mention, since you noticed the hand rails were dirty, there were preemptive strikes YOU could have taken, like washing and sanitizing your hands before touching any bodily orifices. Cause and correlation are not the same thing frand😊

[@admtim]

Beach buffet is disgusting! BOILED hot dogs and half cooked burgers - EW!

[@DaveBurgess-v9k]

What are you talking about. Weed is illegal on any ship. They problem is New York. The ship will need to have a dry dock after leaving New York. If you seen what happened on or after your cruise it was disgusting. Jail was filled to the max. Had to kick people off. Don’t promote use of a illegal substance. What the heck????????

[@EECCTravels]

We are not promoting illegal substances…
