10 Things Cruisers LOVE or HATE About MSC Ocean Cay

Creator's Key Takeaways
One of the things I love about MSE's private island is I can get off the ship and go for a run.
The food closes at 2:30 and that's it. If you want to eat after that, you have to go back on the ship.
The yacht club bar on the island is exceptional as well. It's only for yach club guests and of course drinks are free for yach club guests anyway.
Ocean K is not really the place to do it. For one, if you don't bring your own gear, they hit you up with a $45 per day charge just to rent snorkel gear.
