Creator's Key Takeaways
It was worth it to walk right onto the dock.
This lagoon pool is even better than Royal Caribbean because you're right next to the ocean.
It was absolutely worth it to me to pay the extra to have this guaranteed seat with this incredible view.
So to me, it was worth paying a premium to not feel so crowded or so busy.

The tenders are almost a thing of the past! In today’s final update from my NCL Aqua series, we are heading ashore at Great Stirrup Cay. We were able to disembark directly onto the brand-new pier (still under construction!), and I’m giving you a first-hand look at the progress, the new splash park area, and the general beach vibe. But the highlight of the day was our Couples Cabana at the Vibe Shore Club. If you’re looking for a quiet, luxury escape away from the crowds on NCL’s private island, you need to see this layout. I’ll show you exactly what’s included and help you decide if it’s worth the premium price tag for your next sailing. I’m Angie, your professional travel advisor. After 115 cruises, I know that the "private island day" can either be the most relaxing day of your trip or the most chaotic. I help my clients navigate the cabana bookings and pier logistics so they can just focus on the sunshine. READY TO BOOK THE NCL AQUA? Don't handle the planning alone! I’ll help you secure those hard-to-get cabanas and navigate the NCL "Free at Sea" perks with ease.
