Review summary

Norwegian Escape is great. The officers made a point of introducing themselves, then remembered us all week, as did other staff members. The Vibe is quiet and great.

Tour of the island was interesting. Beach was relaxing, but didn’t offer much for bathrooms.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
If you want to zip line, make your reservation in advance. We did not make a reservation and couldn’t zip line. We enjoyed snorkeling, especially along the rocks.
