Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas Port Reviews

The weather was perfect, the water amazing, we met quite a few other guests while on Ocean Cay, great way to start the cruise!!! Never stayed 1 & 1/2 days at one port... We thought your island was the best part of the cruise.!!

Loved ocean cay! Would love to return at a cooler time of year than September because there is not much shade on this island. Lighthouse show at night (even in the rain) was very cool! This was the highlight of the cruise.

Not enough to do to spend the two days and one night. Shops didn’t offer other souvenirs other than the environment ones. No activities on the island other than beaches. Excursions were poorly.

This port was very clean the staff and servers were very mean they was very very short staffed the bathrooms were clean I would recommend this island again

Very Pretty

Nice island

We were in the yacht club area of the island. Very disappointed. The beach is small rough and rocky. There is one bathroom in the house for everyone unless you want to use portable toilets. No tables to place your drinks. I thought the large lagoon area was much nicer. Beautiful white large beach area and close to the ship.

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
