A severe winter storm damaged Norwegian Cruise Line's Great Stirrup Cay's new pier and a swimming pool.
Arriving ships have to tender passengers to the Cay until repairs to the pier can be completed. When I visited Great Stirrup Cay two years ago, we were tendered to it from the Norwegian Sky.
According to Cruise Hive:
The winter storms blasting North America and the Bahamas in 2026 continue to bring disappointment to cruise passengers trying to escape the chill.
Passengers scheduled to visit Norwegian Cruise Line’s private island in the Bahamas have been warned they will encounter changes to their day ashore after a bomb cyclone and rough weather damaged key infrastructure at its private destination.
In a notice dated February 2, 2026, the cruise line informed guests that both the pier and the main pool, which had recently opened at Great Stirrup Cay, are temporarily unavailable due to severe weather in the region.
As a result, Norwegian Cruise Line ships will not be able to dock at the pier, and guests will instead be tendered ashore.
