Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) will no longer allow its onboard drink packages to be used at Great Stirrup Cay, effective March.
Starting January 1, 2024, guests can purchase a dedicated beverage package specifically for Great Stirrup Cay, with further details to be announced soon. This change is part of NCL’s broader strategy to enhance offerings at its private island destination.
Exciting Developments at Great Stirrup Cay
NCL is excited to unveil new features coming this winter at Great Stirrup Cay. Among these upgrades is the construction of a new pier, an expanded pool area, as well as a kids’ splash pad and an adults-only zone. Moreover, a waterpark is set to open next summer, promising more fun and relaxation for guests.
Complimentary Beverages Available
Despite the changes in drink package policies, visitors to Great Stirrup Cay will still enjoy complimentary beverages, including water, iced tea, juice, and several other refreshing options, ensuring that guests can stay hydrated while enjoying the island’s beautiful ambiance.
Comparison with Carnival Cruise Line
This move by NCL aligns it with Carnival Cruise Line, which similarly does not allow passengers to utilize their onboard beverage packages at Celebration Key, the line’s new Bahamian private destination. Such policies highlight the trend among cruise lines to create distinct experiences at private islands.
As NCL continues to enhance the offerings at its private destinations, guests should keep an eye out for more updates regarding the new beverage package and other developments at Great Stirrup Cay.
