Creator's Key Takeaways
We cruise on Carnival, Royal, and MSC a lot. So, we have our favorite and our least favorite options when it comes to their private island, private resort areas.
Pro number one, the beaches are really nice. So, it is a private resort on Grand Bahama Island.
Con number one, while it is a private resort, it is not a private island, so you do have a limited amount of beach, which could get pretty crowded
Pro number two, they have the best out of all three, the best snorkeling. We saw not one, not two, but three stingrays when we were there.
