Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas Port Reviews

The private island was excellent. Very beautiful and the water is great. We were actually there on both 7 days (back to back) cruises. The first week we went to the North Beach and paid for umbrellas and had to take them to the chairs ourselves and install them. The second week week we went to the beach closest to the ship...lighthouse beach maybe? not sure of the name....anyway, the chairs were Adirondack chairs and were more comfortable than the loungers, and umbrellas were free on that beach....first come first serve of course for those. The food trucks that were stationed near the beaches were better than the long trek to the buffet area, where there were long lines and food was not all that great. The burgers and fries from the food truck were excellent, but they do not have any complimentary drinks such as tea and water and lemonade as they do at the buffet, which was a bummer. It's a very nice island and the water at the last beach we went to is nicer sand and able to walk out into the water farther than on the North Beach.

For being a private island it was wonderful. They had a buffet and other restaurants on the island. My sister and I rented an umbrella and floating devices, you just need to show your room key when you rent them, on the island. They have cute little shops to go shopping as well. My sister and I was at the Lagoon most of the day. I do highly recommend sunscreen. Even though we used sunscreen that was 50 proof I got sunburned bad on my back. We did snorkeling and didn't see anything in the Lagoon.

Yacht Club area has so many rocks that it’s difficult to get in the water. Being that that crowd is usually older in age then it’s dangerous

Excellent! No.

The island was beautiful. Water crystal clear good snorkeling. Saw some sting rays. Buffet lunch was good and some good bars and shops. Don't miss the lighthouse shows, they're great.

Food lines were over an hour long. Umbrellas and chairs had to be carried long distances or simply not available.

Loved the Ocean Cay reserve, the crab ceviche was incredible and left me wanting it on the ship. It was not available anywhere after this port.

Gets better every time we go there

Beautiful Island

Liked it but go further down to other bars to get drinks.. you’ll wait forever at the first bar. Also food takes forever to get out there. Better off just going back to boat to eat. Lol
