Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas Port Reviews

This place was beautiful and good if you want to relax or do ocean activities. Some of the staff seemed a bit annoyed at times. Also some people were complaining the food places were not open the first day on the island, but we didn’t even arrive until after 12:00 pm so we had lunch on board and I didn’t find it to be a big deal. The lagoon was good for swimming but beware of jellyfish, they seem to be heavily populated in that area. I would’ve liked to see more of the island but we were pretty tired by this point in our trip lol.

Awesome private island

MSC is still developing Ocean Cay. Could have used more chaise lounges at the first beach, but we choose South Beach and had to problem finding chaises and shade. Had to rent beach umbellas. That could be improved on. Like just have plenty already out and complimentary. Bars were busy and could have used another staff member or two.

Staff on the Ocean Cay island very disorganized and clueless. Asked a couple questions to several employees, got different answers from them all.

Beautiful place!! Wish the rental for umbrellas had two locations on the beach. Also wish the lighthouse show was longer than 5 minutes.

very clean, easy to navigate.

Absolutely awesome place!

Very pretty island. Very rocky in places, Seems like construction debris in the water. (Bring water shoes!) If you go to the farther beaches, the food stands only have hamburgers and hot dogs. Shuttles were a real problem. Prepare for a lot of walking if you want to explore.

Beautiful island. We were fortunate enough to be facing the island…not sure if they dock the same way every time, but we were on the starboard side of the ship. The beach on the ocean side nearest the ship was rough. There were red flags so no one was allowed in the water. We took the shuttle over to South Beach where there’s a cove, so we were able to swim…the water was beautiful and there were floats to swim out to. Had a delicious cheeseburger and fries from one of the complimentary food trucks. As mentioned earlier, the bar was very crowded and we didn’t get a laser light show at night 😢. We didn’t do any excursions here.

Hands down, the best private island I’ve ever seen
