Megan_Strick Posted June 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Looking to do a solo next year and would feel more comfortable visiting "private" islands. I know Grand Turk, Half Moon, and Princess Cay. Which other ones are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyxie Posted June 23, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Half Moon Cay and Princess Cays usually. Grand Turk isn't really a private island, but Carnival has a beach there. They also have Amber Cove and Mahogany Bay which are similar ports that have free things to do right off the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bguppies Posted June 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2022 If you count Grand Turk, I'd throw Bimini in there. Only 1 ship per day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeleBrat Posted June 23, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Roatan and Amber Cove, both of which are "private" Carnival-only port areas with a pool, beach, or and/or ziplining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival only as in Carnival family of cruise lines. We have been at Mahogany Bay with a Costa ship. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted June 24, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I would not classify Mahogany Bay, Amber Cove, or Grand Turk as private islands. Yes, Carnival Corp built up the piers and infrastructure there, but the ports are "regular" ports. The only private islands Carnival stops at are Princess Cays (owned by Princess, a Carnival Corp brand) and Half Moon Cay (owned by Holland America, a Carnival Corp brand). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to suggest that what the OP really means is 'Carnival controlled access'. In that case, both Mahogany Bay and Amber Cove most definitely are. Grand Turk is quite safe and was certainly funded by Carnival but is not formally controlled in terms of access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should have phrased it differently. Looking for place like HMC not places like Nassau or Cozumel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPNYGuy Posted June 25, 2022 #11 Share Posted June 25, 2022 On the miracle right now. Had a martini. Did NOT read that correctly at all...thought you asked whose privates the ship visited. Must've been a damn good martini 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
