Great Stirrup Cay Full Island Tour — The Private Island War is HEATING UP
"Norwegian Cruise Line, come down — it's better in the Bahamas!" That's the pitch. But with Royal Caribbean's Perfect Day and Carnival's Celebration Key raising the bar, is Great Stirrup Cay actually keeping up? I spent a full day on Norwegian Cruise Line's private island to find out. This video covers everything — the lagoon and water rentals, the beaches (plus a killer Aperol spritz bar), zip lining, the brand new Splash Cay waterpark, five waterslides, Cliffside Cove's thrill attractions, and the Wandering River, which is hands-down my favorite part of the whole island. If you've got a Norwegian cruise coming up, this is your full game plan for the day. 🚢 Great Stirrup Cay | Norwegian Cruise Line's Private Island | Bahamas Which private island wins for you — Great Stirrup Cay, Perfect Day at CocoCay, or Celebration Key?
