Where is MSC's private island in the Bahamas?

[mszpolaris]

Saw on intinerary "Private island, bahamas". Just wondering where exactly in the bahamas it was since all I'm getting when I search online is their area in DR.

 

Thank you! :D

According to Frommers:

Most of MSC's Caribbean cruises spend a day in Cayo Levantado, a beach-rimmed, palm-tree-lined rainforest island off the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic's Samana Peninsula. As at all the other private islands, passengers may choose to flop on the beautiful white-sand beach, take a tour (including jeep safaris and a whale-watching cruise), or go snorkeling or swimming. There are beach chairs, umbrellas, and walking paths, plus tables for an open-air lunch. What you won't find, though, are a playground, hammocks, or massage facilities. One other difference: A day at this beach is considered a shore excursion, so passengers are charged a flat rate if they want to play here.

Unlike the other private islands in this section, Cayo Levantado actually isn't private at all: It's run by a Dominican company with whom MSC has scheduled port calls.

Hi MSZPOLARIS-

 

Can you please explain what itinerary you are looking at? MSC Cruises does not own a private island and any further information would be helpful so we could assist you accurately.

We went to Half Moon Cay, HAL's private island. Go figure.
