Beautiful place. Some of the shops were playing music with very explicit lyrics. That might want to be thought out a little better. Had a feeling it was because their understanding of English wasn’t catching these phrases as being pretty graphic. Read Less

New island that needs to get the plant life growing , they also need areas to get out of the wind. Read Less

The island is beautiful. It will only improve as the trees mature. The only place to eat is not large enough to hand the number of passengers on the ship. Excursions that were offered online prior to the cruise were cancelled once we were on board. The reason given for the cancellation was that the cruise was leaving the island too early. But the departure time was known before the excursions were offered. The ship did not leave until 8 pm, just after sunset. Plus I do not understand how the departure time could affect a daytime swimming or scuba excursion. The fact is that the planned scuba center is not even started yet. Read Less

This island has just gotten up and running. We did not have any excursions planned here. Just a day at the beach and some relaxation. We were pleasantly surprised that MSC allowed us to use our easy drink package on the island and they also supplied a lunchtime buffet. These are two items that other cruise lines charge for. We did enjoy a swim, although it was a little cooler that expected out. Read Less

This was the best part of our cruise very beautiful. Read Less

We loved the private island. The Yacht Club staff actually augment the staff that is already on the island so we got the same personal touch on the island that we would on the ship. The only issue was that since so much of the staff was on the island, the ship was a ghost town. Read Less

it looks like it will be a lovely place Read Less

I'll give this stop 4 stars with the understanding that this island is not yet finished. Hopefully with the break from COVID-19 they'll get some good work done. The beach was quite pebbly and you have to pay for umbrellas which are absolutely necessary cuz the sand as super white. They have a nice golf cart shuttle that will take you to different parts of the island and run pretty frequently. The dining areas weren't done when we were there so they had food trucks which were trash and only had hot dogs and hamburgers that were cold. They are working towards reintroducing coral reefs so the water is pretty barren of life right now but over time I'm sure it will get a lot better. They didn't have a bonfire like promised, and we werent told why, but we also left early for some reason. it is an excellent chill-at-the-beach stop though, and a nice place to kinda walk around in the sun and enjoy the breeze. Your cruise cards work at all the bars too which is nice. The lighthouse show is absolutely phenomenal tho, and can create super clear images on it which is cool. Hopefully with time it will reach it's full potential, but I honestly think we should have just gone to Nassau for the day instead of this island in the Bahamas. Read Less

Great New island well thought out and planned. Ship stayed till 9pm they have a great animated light show on the lighthouse when it gets dark out. Read Less

Enjoyed lunchand cocktails at the Yacht Club and toured the island. Read Less

Like every other cruise that we have been on except the food was less than average. Read Less

Best day of the cruise. The beaches were great and there was lots of food and drink available, but there were only cold communal outside showers and you had to change in the bathrooms. Read Less

We did not get a chance to eat because the restaurants close early and it really isn't posted anywhere . the bathrooms are quite a walk the light show at the lighthouse was great, like I said staff was not as enthusiastic due to ending of cruise Read Less

Weather was bad the day we were there so no excursions were happening, not the fault of the cruise line. Mother nature was in charge there. Looking forward to what the island will be in five to ten years time. Read Less

The MSC private Island has been done with EXCELLENCE in all ways! The YATCH CLUB experience was PERFECTION! Read Less

Wonderful private island, although water shoes are necessary. Very clean, great food and drinks. Read Less

MSAC has done a fantastic job rehabing this once mineral mine. Read Less

Docked right on the island, and to the right of the lighthouse. Cute little shops run by MSC and one or two by Bahama. Beautiful beaches, great large kitchen where the ship served lunch, cabanas that could be rented, water sports excursions, a little junkaroo parade, and just an all around gorgeous place to spend a very relaxing day. Just wonderful! Read Less

Wish it was a warmer day but the stroll that we took around was nice. Read Less

It was beautiful with beaches everywhere and many different activities offered. Read Less

This place makes the cruise, as I described before. It's clean, there's plenty of space on the beach for everybody, and there's plenty to do - jet skis, kayak, paddle board, snorkel, deep-sea fishing, etc. Food and alcohol packages covered on the island. Easy to go back and forth between the ship and the island. Get to stay until 10:30pm so you can actually party at night on the island for a little bit. Read Less

Nice beach, terrible service (long waits, drinks not as ordered). Read Less

Loved this private island. Was not crowded and I wish we had two days there. They are doing a great job building/putting this together!! Read Less

MSC is doing a great job in rehabilitating this Island. Read Less

Enjoyed this stop and had lunch. Plenty of places to swim, but umbrellas were not free. Read Less
