Great tour. Love the security guard that let you get a sneak peak in the Silver Cove area
YES! We meet a lot of nice people while filming the tours! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
great Video! we just cruised Norwegian breakaway and they canceled this island due to rough seas, but I was really looking forward to it and you showed me the entire area and I really appreciate it. I'll have to go back again.😀
Hi! So sorry this stop got canceled! Hopefully the seas will be better on your next sailing. We hope you still had a great time! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

Great video buddy

Haven’t been there in 4 years…cancelled during Covid and headed to NE/Canada in September on Escape. Can’t wait to go back!
Yay! 🥳 We hope you have a great time!!! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Thanks Matt! I would want to swim the channel over to one of my favorite places in the world if I was there. 😅
Hi CashMopar! ❤️ Haha!!! We are totally with you! We were so tempted to make that swim! 😂 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Will be there early May on the Jade❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yay!!! Hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
I went to stirrup cay back in 2012. It definitely didn't look as good as this. It was literally beach and chairs no amenities.
Hi Tony! It's crazy how much can change in just a few years! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Thank you
Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Thanks for more awesome content guys! Can we get a GoFundMe or something going so you guys can just be permanently on vacation and making videos? Also, let’s get back to Sandals soon! Or maybe even a Hard Rock…
Hi! That is very kind of you! You watching the videos is all the support we need but we appreciate the offer! We will have some more Sandals content in the future! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Hi, great video! Is there a separate spot for suite guests on this island? Thank you
Thank you for the great video. If I bring my own snorkeling equipment, will it be free to snorkel? Or that’s part of excursion?
Hi! If you bring your own equipment you can snorkel in any of the beaches for free! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
@@HoffmanHappyTravels thank you!!
It was kind of very boring. Best part was the icy blue clear waters. I was ready to get back on boat.
If you reserve/pay for a clamshell is it yours for the full day? You can leave your stuff in the clamshell and go swimming or snorkeling and come back to your clamshell?
Hi! I'm sorry, we didn't reserve this so we don't know the full stipulations. Sorry we couldn't be more help. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
I didn’t see swim with pigs on the Ncl website, is it only available to do there?
Hi! Swim with the pigs is available to experience at Great Stirrup Cay! Here is the link to NCL website that features this excursion. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢 www.ncl.com/shore-excursions/NPI_44/Swim-with-the-Pigs
@@HoffmanHappyTravels it’s not listed on my specific cruise but I will ask! Thank you
Since this is NCL’s island, if you’re just visiting the beach, will staff announce when it’s time to get back on the ship? Or should you have your own watch/timer?
Hi! The staff doesn't really announce, you need to remain mindful of the time, but staff will start putting stuff up so there are some clues that let you know it's time to head back. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
@@HoffmanHappyTravelsgotcha! Thanks for responding and posting this video!! It’s super helpful 😄
The water was perfect but holy cow, finding somewhere to sit was miserable.
Ya it can definitely be tough finding a beach chair sometimes! We hope you still had a great time! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
I'm a foody so I don't see any many food options on this island. Maybe I sound stupid but why not just combine the two islands together? Both cruise lines could work it out together?
Hi! It would be great for Norwegian if Royal shared CocoCay with them. I don't think Royal would be willing to do this since they invested so much into their island. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Nice vlog. But kinda quiet compared to coco cay.
Hi! Yes, definitely less going on than CocoCay! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
I'll be there March, 2025 (Next year is already filled with cruises). As far as I can tell, nothing is free on the island. (drinks, or food) Is that true? If it is, I'll be taking a quick trip back to the Epic to grab some food and drinks.
Hi! They have a free lunch available on the island and similar drinks that are included on the ship! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
@@HoffmanHappyTravels Thanks for that information. I've never been to a "company Island" before.
What time of the day did you all shoot this? Dp you know of they typically only book one ship.per day at the island?
Hi Dustin! We filmed in the morning. I'm not sure if the island is limited to only one ship but we have only seen one ship there at a time. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Hay transporte para silla de ruedas ya en la isla?
We will be on the NCL Dec 22 on the sky will we be taking this tour and is it free
Hi! We were not on a guided tour, this was just us walking around ourselves to show viewers. But there may be tours that the cruise line offers but I'm not sure. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
How are the prices of all extras like zip line. Heard it is really expensive
Hi! It varies based on when you are traveling and if there are any promotions going on. It's best to check on the NCL excursions to see current rates! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
It's cornhole.
No vi nada especial en esa isla 😮 mar y sol y arena 😂😂😂
It looks rather generic and boring compared to Perfect Day at Coco Cay.
Very true! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
✋ *Promo SM*
Great video! We're cruising on the Breakaway next month and I haven't been to Great Stirrup Cay in ages. It looks so different now, glad I found your videos!
Hi! That's great! So glad this was helpful! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Great video. We're booked for May. Thanks for this, beautiful!
Yay! We hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Cay is pronounced key
What time of day were you there for it to not be crowded? Were you one of the first ones there in the morning?
Hi Robin! Yes, Matt got off early in the day to film the tour. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Cost of rentals and ziplining? I hope it's cheaper than cocoa cay
Hi! Not sure on the price, and it adjusts based on when you purchase it. But if we go back we'll check out the pricing. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Can you bring your own snorkel equipment?
Yes you can! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Were going on our first cruise in January on the NCL Sky and will be porting here. We are so excited!
Yay! We hope you have a great time! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Hi Chelsy and Matt!
Excellent Stirrup Cay tour 🛳️☀️🌴🌊
We have never been there
Thank you for taking us along! 🤗🤗
Hi AleJ! ❤️ So glad you liked the tour! Thanks for always watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Great video ! That island has really grown ! WAY better than back in the day when I went .
Thanks Becky! So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Great job as always. How would you compare the beaches to Coco cay
Hi Dawn! ❤️ Thanks so much! 😍 I think the beaches are better at CocoCay because they're a bit more varied. I like how the Harbor Beach is lagooned and calm, while the snorkel beach on Chill Island has a bit more movement. Excited to see you in just a couple days! 🤩 Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
Great informative video! Thanks Matt 😀
Thanks for watching Malahini09! 🤗❤️🚢
Thanks for sharing this tour! Looks really nice! ❤
Hi BrittanyC! ❤️ We had a super fun day on the island! Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢

Hi! Since this is a private NCL island you can just use your cruise card to make purchases. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🚢
