RAIN CANCELLED THE EXCURSIONS THE FIRST DAY AND THEY WERE ALL BOOKED THE SECOND DAY. THEY DID NOT OFFER THE SUNSET BEACH PICNIC WHICH WAS SOMETHING WE ENJOYED IN 2019 YACHT CLUB LUNCH ON THE ISLAND COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER HAD THEY NOT SERVED IT AN THE DINING ROOM THE NIGHT BEFORE BECAUSE OF THE RAIN.

An absolutely gorgeous Island! But it's highly likely your excursions will get canceled, and all the other excursions are so booked because it's limited availability, but you won't actually get to do anything. Unless you're yacht club, don't think that you're going to get on a tram. Because we had small children with us we did use a tram to get to the beach but it wasted more than 45 minutes of our day. By the time we got to the beach there were no beach chairs left to be had at 11:00 a.m. which was only 2 hours after we docked. I had rented umbrellas, but you have to get those from The shack and take them over yourself. I ended up stealing umbrella stands from those who would save chairs but weren't using the stands. We made our own space near the water with our beach towels and the umbrellas. Also we saw jellyfish in the water around 2:00 p.m. so that finished off our water time. This was on South beach! The buffet was yummy but the line was over an hour and they closed an hour early. The food trucks were only half open, and didn't serve all the food that they reported to have. I would have loved to have a lobster roll and was even willing to pay $14 for it, but they were out by noon. It could have been such a lovely time but MSC can ruin any lovely time.

We missed lunch because we weren’t told it would be closed at 2. The staff were rude about it when we went and said it was announced. I’m not sure where they announced it because I didn’t hear it. They need to clearly mark times of service.

It is still being completed, and has great potential. Our biggest complaint was that seemingly every beach we tried to wade or swim at, there was a “life guard” blowing his whistle, and telling us we couldn’t swim. It made no sense, since it’s an island, with groomed beaches that have ropes and buoys defining the limits. Seems to be the prefect environment, designed for swimming.... but, no

The Ocean Cay Marine Reserve was a lovely island with multiple beaches. We had reserved umbrellas for both days at Ocean Cay, although we did pick up the umbrella on the second day. We were handed the umbrella in a bag at the rental station and had to carry it to the to the beach chairs. On other cruise ship islands the attendants installed umbrellas. We walked around the island and found the pathways clear and easily navigable however walking to the beach chairs was a little more difficult due to the loose sand.
