YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Great Stirrup Cay is the last stop on our 9-day cruise throughout the Caribbean. We are one of the first passengers to get aboard a tender to the port on Great Stirrup Cay as we booked an excursion to ride a wave runner on the ocean. We are first timers, so this will be a learning experience. There were a few kinks along the way, but it wasn't anything we couldn't handle. We had a great time along this guided tour, the guys running the show live in the area and know what they are talking about giving us history lesson along the way. After we get done with the wave runner, we rented clamshell lounge chairs to have a little break from the sun as we snorkel and float in the ocean. We used our "Free At Sea Plus" drink package on the island. It was utilized just like we were on board the ship. After walking around the island, we got back in the ocean for a little snorkeling. Norwegian Cruise Line puts "artifacts" under the water for a fun surprise. Great Stirrup Cay is a private island in the Bahamas owned by Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL). It is an exclusive destination for NCL passengers, offering a tropical getaway with pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and various activities tailored for cruise guests. Here are some highlights: The island features beautiful, powdery white sand beaches where passengers can relax on complimentary lounge chairs or rent private cabanas for a more secluded experience. The waters around Great Stirrup Cay are perfect for snorkeling, with vibrant coral reefs and marine life. Guests can swim alongside tropical fish and explore underwater caves. Kayaking, paddleboarding, jet skiing, and parasailing are popular options for more adventurous guests. Norwegian offers a guided experience where passengers can swim and interact with stingrays in a safe, enclosed environment. The island features a zip line course that lets you soar above the island with incredible ocean views. The island offers several dining options, including beachside barbecues, grills serving burgers and local cuisine, and beach bars offering tropical drinks. An upscale, private retreat on Great Stirrup Cay with exclusive beach access, luxury cabanas, and a dedicated restaurant and bar for guests who book this area. Guests can take nature trails to explore the islandโ€™s flora and fauna or visit historical sites, such as a lighthouse that dates back to the 19th century. Norwegian offers private cabanas and villas, including those in Silver Cove, which come with added luxuries like air conditioning, showers, and even butler service. Great Stirrup Cay is designed to provide a mix of relaxation and adventure, and it's a key stop on many Norwegian Cruise Line itineraries in the Bahamas and the Caribbean. #greatstirrupcay #bahamas #ncl #caribbean #norwegiansky Our Equipment: GoPro5 : https://amzn.to/3W706JP GoPro10 : https://amzn.to/3JoNRRt Nikon Z30 : https://amzn.to/4d2bOvo Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra DJI Mini 2 Our Software and Subscription Services: https://share.epidemicsound.com/cyumoq Adobe Premier Pro Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸฅณPlease subscribe to our channel to stay in touch so we can share what we are up to!๐Ÿ•๐ŸŒ‹๐ŸŒ… https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYptpWdN5KNCq5pwdvGNrhQ?sub_confirmation=1 Website : www.justramblinaround.com Facebook: Just Ramblin Around Instagram: @justrambinaround Email: jrawithronandjodi@gmail.com ****About**** We are Ron and Jodi.
