Creator's Key Takeaways

The service that was described to us was not then fulfilled. We paid for a service. And so, the service was supposed to get us back on the ship.

I don't want you to go there thinking you have a whole private beach yourself. I don't want you to go there thinking you have a whole private beach yourself.

The venue was beautiful, the view was beautiful, the service was great. Everything about it awesome.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Order your drinks or water before 2:00 PM as service stops early on the island.

✓Bring water shoes because the water edges can be rocky.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Is the beach truly private? — Don't expect a completely private beach; other guests can and do migrate into the roped-off Yacht Club areas.

Will the Yacht Club experience be seamless? — Expectation vs. reality: while the dining and butler service are great, logistical issues like transportation and early closures can occur.

YouTube Video Description↓

Today we arrive at MSC’s private island, Ocean Cay Marine Preserve. We will show you the Yacht Club experience from getting off the ship to the beaches designated for Yacht Club guests and lunch in our own private restaurant. I have a video from a few years ago where we walked around the island (not Yacht Club) including shops. Nothing has really changed -yet.
