So many cruise lines now offer private destinations and islands, but are the cruise line owned private destinations worth it? Recently Disney Cruise Line opened their Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point private island, the second after their successful Castaway Cay private island. But are Lookout Cay and other cruise line owned private islands (such as Perfect Day at Coco Cay, Half Moon Cay, Ocean Cay, Princess Cays, Castaway Cay) worth a visit? With so many cruise ships sailing to ports all around the Bahamas and Caribbean these days, private islands allow the cruise lines more options for port stops.
