Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas Port Reviews

Loved it

The beaches are nice, but due to "technical difficulties" we did not see the Lighthouse light show, this was after they had us all on the beach and told us to get excited it was starting in 10 minutes.

The most beautiful and well kept island I’ve seen. Royal Caribbean and Carnival’s islands are great but this one is a marine reserve. Tranquil, easy to walk, and beautifully laid out

This is one of the main reasons we continue to book with MSC. The island is incredible!

Beautiful restful island.

The beaches are incredible with white sand and clear water. We ended up spending the entire day lying on the beaches, enjoying a few cold beers, and the sunshine.

MSC's private island is in a beautiful location. The water is gorgeous and the Island fairly large with several beachy areas for swimming or just sunning. Additionally there are plenty of activities to choose from (for a fee of course) such as kayaking, jet skies, paddleboarding, etc. on your own or guided groups.

The first thing you notice at port is the construction equipment and unfinished areas. You can tell it’s not a “real” island. The sand is very coarse and there’s sharp rocks everywhere on the beaches. Lunch was a cold burger and fries, consistent with the overall bad food aboard Seashore. The lighthouse show is a joke! I think it was less than four minutes long. Make it worthwhile like 15-20 minutes. I will say that on a good weather day (the opposite of what we experienced) it offers pretty good snorkeling around the dock and north side around rock barriers.

No excursion, went to South Beach. Beautiful beach. Thought we might be able to get grandchildren some there. Nope. They had 4 shops, 1 was a soap and lotion shop (which was closed) the other was pocketbooks, jewelry, coffee cups and things like that, all very expensive. Again nothing 4 small grandchildren ages 4,3,and 2 two year Olds can use.

We did have 2 days at Ocean Cay and we lost the first one due to wind! We went to poopy Nassau instead but that was unavoidable.
