Nashna Posted October 12, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 12, 2019 On private islands we typically just sit on a beach chair and take a swim. Ocean Cay has all the usual offerings such as paddleboards and kayaks. What is exciting to me is the unusual island options such as: Bahama Bank Family Tour, the children's discovery program, "Help Dorami Save The Island", Sunset Champagne Tour, Beachside Stargazing, Ceclo Luxury Electric Pedalo, romantic snacks on the beach and the evening light show. Now that MSC has put a countdown to Ocean Cay opening on the site, it looks like the November 9th opening is going to happen. Let the fun begin! MSC has done an amazing job of designing unusual shore excursions for Ocean Cay. I am really impressed. https://www.msccruisesusa.com/en-us/Manage-Your-Booking/Excursions.aspx click on Caribbean and Ocean Cay for full descriptions. Our January sailing actually offers more options than are listed here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nashna Posted October 12, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I was a bit concerned about our 2021 Seaside cruise having two port stops on our B2B. After seeing the various tours being offered, I am looking forward to the duplicate stops. The option to stay and stargaze in the evening is really exciting. Our 2020 January Divina sailing will not have the completed YC area, so our 2021 experience will be totally different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was supposed to be one of the ports for us during our Jan 2018 Seaside cruise. But thanks to Irma.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LMaxwell Posted October 15, 2019 #11 Share Posted October 15, 2019 For the child stargazing it lists an adult price of 15 and child price of 0. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdvmd Posted October 27, 2019 #17 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I'm excited to be able to do excursions like the sunset sail. Never had been in a port so long. Aruba you can usually do a sunset sail but you arrive in the early afternoon. Excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
