    We just got home from the same cruise you just took and it was an awesome ship. We love Ocean Cay so much, it's gorgeous there. That family cove that has never been opened before is a new update called Seekers Cove. Also, they've changed the muster drill since you went and now they have you check into your muster station when you board and then you can watch the safety video in your room when you go to your room. It was so much better. They are definitely listening to customer feedback. Thanks for all you do!

    I always said these cabanas need overhead fans. Maybe solar powered.
    I went 2 years ago, and going again in 2 weeks. Doesn't look like much has changed, but I think that's why I loved it so much. It doesn't seem like a greedy money grab. Thanks so much for this. Can't wait ❤

    I think this island has potential but it seems like everything is too spread out. Places like Royal Caribbean's Coco Cay seem to have everything more condensed and easier to walk to. I know this was filmed two hours before sail away which means most people were in the ship but it does give me the impression that this island is kind of sparse on the first day even it is at its busiest. I may be wrong but that's just what it looked like. Great video and thanks to all three of you for taking one for the team doing the long walks.

    • @burtontim9079

      That's what a lot of people want. Why would we want a crowded small island instead of being spread our and exploring and going out on your own? Some people love walking and getting away from the crowds

    Since it is a newer resort the palms haven’t grown up like they will given time. Charging people for umbrellas when their island has little shade is pretty small minded of them. I can’t imagine that they rent out many at $30 a pop vs. guest satisfaction. I’d rather pay a tad more for my cruise and get umbrellas that I wouldn’t have to tote around from beach to beach. I love this island because I want peace and quiet, if I wanted rollercoasters I’d go to an amusement park and pay a fraction of the outrageous rates at RC.

    I remember going there last year in 2023 and I think that one part of the beach has a screened in area to keep the jellyfish out, Bimini maybe? It is a shame they don’t screen in more area of the beach to prevent the jellyfish.

      Thank you so much. Weather is definitely unpredictable, in most cases your cruise would be rerouted if there was a hurricane. Very rearly are the canceled unless the hurricane is a direct hit on your embarkation day. Nothing guaranteed with Weather. Enjoy your cruise! 😎

      Once the ship is cleared for disembarking you can go right out. On our first day I think it was around 7:30 am. We went out around 10am and still saw one chair near the transportation area. If your staying overnight the next morning around 7:30 people were already heading out. Have a great cruise! Ocean Cay is very relaxing and beautiful! 😎

    Sad , they charge for umbrellas. Royal Caribbean does not charge for umbrellas. Msc needs to stop charging folks for something that should be free. This is a big turn off of a lot of cruisers.
