Big changes coming to Norwegian’s private island! Will it affect your next cruise?

Norwegian Cruise Line just announced big changes for Great Stirrup Cay, their private island in The Bahamas. Starting March 1, 2026, drink packages like Free at Sea will no longer apply while ashore. But there’s good news — NCL is introducing a new beverage package just for Great Stirrup Cay beginning January 1, 2026. And that’s not all. The island is getting a major transformation, with the Great Life Lagoon, Vibe Shore Club for adults, and the Great Tides Waterpark featuring 19 slides and a lazy river coming summer 2026. Will this affect you and your decision to cruise with Norwegian?
