Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm super bummed. Great Syrup Key was a lot of people's most anticipated port on this cruise.

I have been on a ship going to Great Strup Key five times prior to this and every time all five times we have made it to the island.

I really recommend the buffet for me personally, but if you're okay with fighting the crowds... have at it.

Dinner at Huki was incredible. We had the most amazing chef, Jessica.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use the Indulge Food Hall for breakfast to avoid buffet crowds.
βœ“Solo travelers can share specialty dining vouchers with another person.
βœ“Check for extra pillows and towels near the Sole Bar.

Welcome back to my Norwegian Aqua series where today was meant to be a port day at Norwegian's private island, Great Stirrup Cay! Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and we ended up having to skip this port and add another Sea Day onto our itinerary. This is a bummer because this five day cruise turned into 4 sea days and only one port day in Nassau which isn't ideal, but the point of this cruise was always the ship anyway so I am happy spending more time on this gorgeous ship! I enjoyed breakfast at Indulge Food Hall, lunch at The Local and dinner at Hasuki! Tonight is the GLOW PARTY which is always a fun time on NCL. I can't believe this is our second to last day onboard... I'm not ready for it to end!
