Creator's Key Takeaways

We've arrived via tender and every time I come here it's a little more built up than the last time.

The very first cruise line private island overall is actually this one right here where we're at. Great Strup Key was uh leased by NCL in the 70s.

I'm on a quest right now to find a burial marker or two. It's from somebody in the Royal Navy and then somebody on a passing ship.

Disembarkation was uh I think very smooth. uh not for us in particular, but very smooth for most people.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Get advanced tender tickets if on a large ship to avoid long waits.
βœ“Rent a clamshell for shade on the island for $50.
βœ“Swap luggage tags at guest services for your preferred disembarkation time.

On the last day of our Norwegian Aqua cruise we visit the very first cruise line private island of Great Stirrup Cay. While ashore we find something unexpected and enjoy the sunny day. Back onboard Aqua we have dinner at Hudson's before tasting some new [to us] bourbons with a friend...virtually.
