14 Best Cruise Line Private Islands Ranked

Above, Mitch Geriminsky and I about to jet ski at Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas.

It seems like yesterday that a friend and I took a cruise to the Bahamas aboard the Norwegian Sky. But it actually was two years ago.

It was with Norwegian Cruise Line and one of the stops of the cruise was their private island, Great Stirrup Cay. While there, we went on jet skis for about an hour or so. We had a good time.

Afterwards, I found a beach cocktail bar and had myself a screwdriver (vodka and orange juice). 

MSN has posted a slideshow article (from The Travel Blog) on 14 best cruise line private islands ranked.

They start it with:

Picture this: you’ve been at sea for days, and suddenly the ship drops anchor at a pristine island that exists solely for your enjoyment. No crowds from other cruise lines, no local vendors pushing trinkets, no competing for beach chairs with strangers who booked through different companies.

This is cruise line territory — a private playground carved out of paradise and designed around one simple promise: everything here is yours for the day.

U.S. Citizens Warned of Bahamas "Rogue" Jet Ski Vendors

Above, yours truly jet skiing at Great Stirrup Cay in 2024.

Two years ago, a friend and I rode jet skis at Great Stirrup Cay, an island owned and operated by Norwegian Cruise Line.

Our activity on the jet skis went without incident and we had a good time. 

Unfortunately, others haven't had good experiences with jet ski operators as reports of injuries, deaths and sexual assaults. Many of the operators involved are rogue vendors who are unlicensed and uninsured.

According to Fox 11 News:

Americans are being urged to steer clear of jet ski rentals in the Bahamas as U.S. officials warn of sketchy operators linked to deaths, injuries and reported sexual assaults.

In a Monday statement, the U.S. Embassy in the Bahamas said that "rogue operators" are soliciting tourists on Nassau's most popular beaches, including Cabbage Beach, Junkanoo Beach and Saunders Beach.

The rogue operators are often "unlicensed, uninsured, and operating unsafe watercraft," the embassy said — and officials noted that law enforcement oversight is "sporadic at best."

Exploring the Norwegian Sky 2025 Tour

Above, yours truly at the pool deck's smoking area having a cocktail and stogie.

In a little less than a month from now, it will have been a year since the cruise to the Bahamas aboard the Norwegian Sky of Norwegian Cruise Line.

It was a good cruise, four days long. We went to Nassau, Freeport and Great Stirrup Cay (where we jet skied). 

The Norwegian Sky is an older 1990s cruise ship with a maximum of around 3,000 passengers. It is a smaller ship whose size is my preference over the mega-behemoth cruise ships that are coming into service by many cruise lines. If you don't want to be around too many people, this ship is ideal.

Sportsmonkey posted a video on the Norwegian Sky titled, "Exploring the Norwegian Sky 2025 Tour". 

As the video states, the ship is older and smaller, which includes the staterooms. But I didn't spend my time in the room. I hung out mainly on the pool deck at the smoking area.

Here's the video:

Cruise Giants Are Building Their Own Private Paradise Islands

Above, yours truly about to jet ski at Norwegian's Great Stirrup Cay.

Last summer, a friend and I went on a cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line and one of the stops was the company's private island, Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas. We spend the day jet skiing and shopping while there.

Cruise lines having their own private islands is a growing trend for cruises. Carnival and Royal Caribbean are also betting on private island stops. 

Fox Business took a look at this growing trend.

They begin with:

Cruise lines have been betting big on their private destinations. 

Later this month, Carnival will open Celebration Key, a private destination the cruise line operator has been developing on the island of Grand Bahama for its guests.

CEO Josh Weinstein told "The Claman Countdown" host Liz Claman on June 24 that it was "already one of the most searched-out cruise destinations on Google" ahead of its debut.

"We are talking about over a mile of white sand beach, 275,000 square feet of man-made built lagoon, the world’s largest swim-up bar, the world’s largest sand castle, and we’ve built five portals all over this destination so that we can accommodate different needs for different guests," he said. "We have a family zone, we have an adult zone, we have a private beach club and more."  

Celebration Key will add to the private destinations and islands that Carnival already has in its portfolio.

Cruise Passenger Dies After Fatal Jet Ski Accident

Above, yours truly on a jet ski at Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas last summer.

A female jet-skier was killed at a private island owned by the Carnival Corporation. She was part of a Carnival cruise to Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas.

A friend and I jet-skied last August at a similar Bahamas cay owned by Norwegian Cruise Line. 

According to Cruise Blog:

According to Eyewitness News, an investigation is underway following the tragic accident that took place on March 22, 2025. 

Police in Eleuthra were contacted by the island's manager shortly after 1:00pm. Once they arrived on Half Moon Cay, the officers conducted an initial investigation that revealed the British/Czechoslovakia national allegedly lost control of her jet ski and collided with a rock. 

Though medical personnel were on the scene, they weren't able to revive the passenger. She was pronounced deceased by the local medical doctor. 

If the jet ski she was riding was like the ones we used, it is easy to see how she lost control of it. Those are more powerful machines compared to one I rode in Lake Havasu several years ago.

Sharks Attack 2 Florida Women In Bahamas

Above, yours truly on a jet ski at Great Stirrup Cay.

Last August, a friend and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. While there, we went on a jet ski excursion in Grand Stirrup Cay, a private island owned by Norwegian Cruise Line.

This was the first time I have jet skied on ocean waters. The jet skis we used were more powerful than the ones at Lake Havasu, most likely for dealing with ocean waves. I held back on speed as I didn't want to be pitched off the jet ski due to an errant wave. Plus, I wasn't out to impress anybody. My friend did get thrown off his jet ski due to a wave.

As I am not that strong a swimmer, even with a life vest, I didn't want to fight ocean waves to get back on the jet ski. That was one consideration. The other: sharks. Jet skiing on a lake is one thing, doing so on the ocean is quite another since there are predatory critters in the ocean. 

Two Florida women were attacked by sharks last week in the Bahamas. 

MSN reported:

ORLANDO, Fla. - What was meant to be a carefree weekend getaway turned into a harrowing ordeal for two young women from Melbourne, Florida, after they were attacked by bull sharks while vacationing in Bimini Bay, Bahamas.

Summer Layman and Rileigh Decker were enjoying a boat trip when they decided to jump into the water Friday evening, unaware that bull sharks were nearby.

Moments after entering the water, a friend on the boat spotted the sharks and shouted a warning.

"We were holding hands the entire time — we never let go of each other," said Layman, who survived the attack along with Decker. Layman sustained severe injuries to her foot, while Decker suffered devastating leg injuries.

Norwegian Cruise Line's One-and-Only Private Island In The Bahamas

Last September, a friend and I took a cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line to the Bahamas.

One stop on the cruise's itinerary was Great Stirrup Cay, an island that Norwegian owns. While there, we did some jet skiing.

Matador Network has posted an article on Great Stirrup Cay which begins with:

The 268-acre Bahamian island of Great Stirrup Cay is owned by Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), and is exclusive to NCL guests sailing on Bahamian itineraries, as well as guests on some MSC voyages. Great Stirrup Cay was purchased by NCL from the Belcher Oil Company in 1977 and was the first-ever private island owned by a cruise line.

Great Stirrup Cay’s main attraction is its gorgeous, 1,500-foot-long, white-sand beach furnished with 3,000 sun loungers to accommodate guests. Around the beach is a multitude of bars and restaurants, beachfront cabanas, a spa with ocean views, and attractions to entertain cruisers, including a zip line, an overwater swing, and even an underwater sculpture garden. The island is also home to luxurious, air-conditioned, beachfront villas that cruisers can rent for the day. Shore excursions are available and include kayak and Jet Ski tours, and a visit to nearby Treasure Island where visitors can swim with pigs and stingrays. At the time of writing, ships cannot dock directly at Great Stirrup Cay and guests must be transported from the ship to the island via tender boats. However, a multi-ship pier will be completed by the end of 2025.

Cruise Line Private Islands and Destinations

Until a friend and I took a cruise to the Bahamas last August, I was unaware that our cruise company, Norwegian Cruise Lines, had their own private island. It is called Great Stirrup Cay.

It was one of our stops and we went jet skiing while there. But they have available other activities for cruise passengers such as swimming with pigs.

Cruise Hive posted an article on these private islands and destinations. Great Stirrup Cay is mentioned in it. 

It begins with:

There are some destinations and islands that are nearly synonymous with the cruising industry. Hundreds or even more than a thousand cruise ships can visit places like the Bahamas or the US Virgin Islands each year.

However, these top spots aren’t the only cruise line favorites. Industry-wide, cruise lines have begun crafting their own private destinations, where cruisers can enjoy carefully curated experiences and amenities, matching the cruise line’s branding and overall vibes.

Here are the cruise line private islands and destinations that you need to know about.

Cruise Companies Pouring Money Into Private Resorts

Above, Norwegian Cruise Line's Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

Last August, I took a cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line to the Bahamas. It was on the Norwegian Sky.

Part of the cruise's itinerary was a stop at Great Stirrup Cay, a private island resort owned operated by Norwegian Cruise Line. While there, a friend and I went jet skiing. 

Above, at the Great Stirrup Cay jet ski docks.

This was the first I've heard of any cruise line owning and operating private resorts. Other cruise lines have done the same. It is a lucrative business and the cruise lines are pouring money into them.

It appear there's a backlash against overtourism and the cruise lines are using these resorts as a destination for their customers. 

Financial Times has posted an article on these private resorts.

They begin it with:

The world’s biggest cruise groups are pouring money into private destinations for their customers as booming demand rubs up against a backlash against overtourism in many popular spots.

The biggest operator, Carnival, is in the midst of developing the $600mn Celebration Key on the island of Grand Bahama. The “first-ever exclusive destination to be purpose-built” for the company will open next year.

Meanwhile, rival Royal Caribbean is planning to spend a similar amount building the 200-acre Perfect Day Mexico resort on Mexico’s Caribbean coast in Mahahual. It will have beaches, water parks and other entertainments and is scheduled to open in 2027.

Another major operator, Norwegian Cruise Line, is building a two-ship pier to its own private island Great Stirrup Cay to allow it to double visitor numbers to 700,000 from 2026.

By 2025 passenger capacity at cruise company-owned private islands in the Caribbean will have more than doubled from 2019, according to Christian Savelli, cruise analytics director at Tourism Economics.

Norwegian Cruise Line's Great Stirrup Cay Pier Buildout

Back in August, a friend and I took a cruise to the Bahamas with Norwegian Cruise Line. One of the cruise's stops was at Great Stirrup Cay, an island owned by the cruise company.

When we arrived, our ship, Norwegian Sky, anchored offshore and we were transported by tender boats. During our visit to Great Stirrup Cay, we did some jet skiing.

Above, the tender boat docked at the Norwegian Sky. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings CEO says the plan is to have a pier built that can service two ships by late 2025. That would be more efficient that the current use of tender boats.

According to an article in Travel Weekly:

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings CEO Harry Sommer said he feels "really comfortable" the company can unveil the new pier at Great Stirrup Cay in late 2025, which will be key to better utilization of the company's original private island.

And he said he expects to nearly double the number of visitors to Great Stirrup Cay in 2026.

The company expects to host around 700,000 guests at the Bahamian island in 2026 due to increased deployment.

That's a slightly more ambitious increase than Sommer's original projection in April of welcoming around 600,000 guests. This year, 400,000 guests will have visited the island.

Lonely Planet Guide To The Bahamas

Last month, a friend and I took a cruise to the Bahamas aboard the Norwegian Sky of Norwegian Cruise Lines.

I have always wanted to visit the Bahamas and finally I got to go. 

We had a great time visiting the islands with stops in Freeport, Nassau and doing some jet skiing at Great Stirrup Cay (a private island owned by Norwegian Cruise Line). The weather was generally decent with some rain, but it didn't dampen our enjoyment.

Above, yours truly jet skiing at Great Stirrup Cay.

As things happen, Lonely Planet has just posted a guide to the Bahamas for first-timers. It is worth a look-see for those interested in going there.

It begins with:

The Bahamas, an archipelago of 700 islands and cays (though only 30 are inhabited), is celebrated for its dazzling turquoise and pink waters, pristine beaches, and balmy weather.

Yet, this island nation offers more than just picturesque scenery – it's a vibrant mosaic of culture and history. From the rhythmic beats of Junkanoo to the mouthwatering flavors of fresh conch and sweet guava duff, The Bahamas transforms every visit into a lively adventure.

Whether diving into blue holes, sailing across sparkling seas, or reveling in local parades, each island invites you to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Bahamian life. Our first-timer's guide has everything you need to know before you go.

Jet Skiing In Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas

The photo package I ordered from Photostockplus of Mitch Geriminsky's and my jet skiing activity during the Bahamas cruise at Great Stirrup Cay on August 8 arrived in today's mail. 

I just scanned them a few minutes ago. I'll have to send Mitch his prints as I ordered them all together.

Here they are:

Above and below, at the jet ski dock before heading out.

Above and below, we took a brief break midway at one of the nearby islands.

Not bad for a couple of seventy-year-old geezers!

Great Stirrup Cay

The last full day in the Bahamas took place at Great Stirrup Cay where we did some jet skiing. Great Stirrup Cay is Norwegian Cruise Line's private island.

This was the first time I jet skied since 2015 in Lake Havasu. 

To say that jet skiing on a lake is different than on an ocean would be a gross understatement. For one thing, along with wakes made by other jet skis, one has to also deal with ocean waves. The jet skis we used (Wave Runners) were more powerful than the ones used at Lake Havasu. I had to be careful when throttling, too much throttle would have the jet ski shoot from under me. I am guessing that the extra power these had were to compensate against ocean waves. I hit over 40 mph easily.

I held back from the rest of the group (7 jet skiers along with 3 guides) as I wasn't out to impress anybody. I had a guide with me. Mitch Geriminsky kept with the group. 

As we were heading back to the jet ski docks, it started raining. It rained very hard, making it difficult to see. Mitch had a hard time seeing and he hit a wave (or the wave hit him) and he flew off the jet ski. He lost his sunglasses when he went into the drink. 

The only photo I have of the jet skiing is from the website of the photography company (below). It is of me on the jet ski. I ordered a couple of photos and I will post them when they arrive. 

After we were done, I went over to a beachside bar and had a screwdriver (vodka and orange juice). That was refreshing. 

The jet skiing was on an island without docking facilities, so we had to be tendered to and from the Norwegian Sky. 

All in all, we had fun. But we'll stick to lake jet skiing in the future.

Back From The Bahamas

The five-day cruise to the Bahamas is now history.

Friend Mitch Geriminsky and I got back to Jamestown last evening in the rain. For once, we didn't have any issues in returning home. No cancellations. The only delay was our final flight home from Atlanta. But that was only a half hour. We would have been late to board as our connecting flight was a little late and passengers in front were slow to get out of our way (until I said something).

Above, having a cigar in the smoking area overlooking the pools.

We had a good time on the cruise. We went with Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Sky. It was not one of those mega cruise ships. This one has a capacity of about 2,000, a more manageable number. 

We went first to Freeport, Bahamas and did some shopping. I had to buy a small bag as the new Clamper one tore on one side. It was not overloaded either. Just cheap.

Above, during the Nassau boat tour. Photo by Mitch Geriminsky.

The next day was spent in Nassau. We took a boat tour and then a bus tour. We stopped at a flea market next to an old fort. Then, we went to a very expensive mall (one shop was for Rolex watches) called Crystal Court at Atlantis Resort. It rained hard during our bus tour.

Tuesday night, we took in a musical show of 1970s rock 'n roll. 

Wednesday night, I did some gambling in the ship's casino. I made $60 on roulette. 

Above, lobster tails for Thursday night's dinner. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

Then, on Thursday, we went jet skiing at Great Stirrup Cay. Jet skiing over ocean waters is much different than on lake waters. The jet skis were more powerful than the ones at Lake Havasu. One can easily get thrown off if they give the jet ski too much throttle. Mitch hit a wave wrong and was thrown off his jet ski into the drink. Too bad I missed it. 

When I download my photos from my Canon Rebel, I will post photos of the trip.

RV Life: Discover Lake Havasu City

Above, jet skiing on Lake Havasu. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

Over the past several years, it has been somewhat of a pattern for me to go to Lake Havasu, Arizona. It is usually to visit friends and spending holidays with them. I usually average 2-3 visits per year.

Some of the things I've done in Lake Havasu includes boating, jet skiing, skeet shooting, camping and restauranting. I usually camp at Crazy Horse Campgrounds in my motorhome.

Above, camping at Crazy Horse Campgrounds. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

RV Life has posted an article on the things one can do in Lake Havasu.

They begin it with:

The sunny desert town of Lake Havasu City offers RVers a welcome respite from the winter weather up north. Located 150 miles south of Las Vegas, Lake Havasu City is a stone’s throw away from the Nevada border. The destination offers something for everyone. Centrally located and a popular choice with RVers year round is Lake Havasu State Park, set along the shores of picturesque Lake Havasu. The lake, which is actually a reservoir, was created when Palmer Dam was constructed on the Colorado River in the 1930s. The reservoir created nearly 450 miles of shoreline.

TheTravel: Guide To Lake Havasu City

For those who want to get away from it all, consider a vacation stay at Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

I've been there several times as a friend is a resident there. I'm starting to know my way around town (uh, somewhat). I was there most recently during Christmas.

TheTravel has posted a guide to vacationing in Lake Havasu. They mention several hotels, but they omitted RV camping at the lake. There's plenty to do. One of things to do is taking a hike. I was going to use that as the title of this blog, but it is too suggestive and people may get the wrong Idea. (Read the article and you'll see why.)

But it is worth looking through.

They begin with:

Arizona is home to numerous tourist hotspots, but one of its hidden gems waiting to be discovered is Lake Havasu City. Nestled in the depth of the Mohave Desert, this sprawling resort community offers a mix of unending sunshine and big shiny waters. While some consider it to be in the middle of nowhere, Lake Havasu is only three hours away from its more famous counterpart, Phoenix, or about two hours away from Las Vegas.

A relatively young city, Lake Havasu was established in 1963 after attracting miners speculating for gold and silver and serving as a military recreation site. But thanks to industrialist Robert McCulloch and his vision, the city has come a long way from its mining days to become a bustling vacation destination with popular historical landmarks, incredible natural landscapes, and endless outdoor adventures. Fancy exploring this diamond in the rough? Here is the ultimate guide to Lake Havasu City.

Where To Go This Summer Part 2

Above, the Durango train departing Durango Station last April. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

After spending some time yesterday discussing where to go when my ex-roommate Jessica comes for a visit this summer, we decided to go to Durango to ride the train and, from there, go to Navajo Lake State Park near Farmington, New Mexico for some jet skiing or boating.

I have never been to Navajo Lake, so I am looking forward to checking it out. It is along the way home (roughly) from Durango, so it works out great. Camping for RVs is $14/night, with hook-ups. Nice and cheap!

Above, Navajo Lake Marina. Navajo Lake State Park photo.

We should be able to do both and get home on one tankful of gasoline.

First Full Day In Lake Havasu

Above, the flag's up! Photo by Armand Vaquer.

While Mitch was out to breakfast with another friend and doing errands, I decided to hang out at the Crazy Horse Campground and enjoy the lake.

Above, Mitch in his back yard. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

As is usually the case, I slept great in the motorhome and woke up to a warm and clear day. My next door neighbor is out boating with his black labrador and I sat out in the lake with a cigar and a bottle of Alien Amber Ale.

Above, a view looking toward the lake from Mitch's front yard. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

After a while, I went back to the RV to dry off and the holding tank emptying truck came by to empty my holding tanks. There are no sewer facilities at the beachfront campsite as they are close to the lake (drinking water, y'know). The emptying truck works with suction, so RV holding tanks get a good emptying.

Above, The Beast this morning. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

Earlier I was over at Mitch's and helped him change a bulb to one of his outdoor light fixtures. He's a bit leery about being on ladders. 

Above, the holding tank emptying truck. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

After that was done, we headed back to the RV park to drop me off. We'll be rejoining later once he's done with his errands. I think there will be a parade in town tomorrow, in which we'll be participating. 

Above, the beachfront campsites. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

When we arrived, I set up my flagpole with my "Trump: No More Bullshit" flag. Lake Havasu City has a lot of Trump supporters and there's even a Trump store in town, which we'll be going to later today.

The boat and jet ski rental place on the property is closed (probably for the season), otherwise I would consider renting a jet ski. I did it here five years ago.

Back At Lake Havasu

Above, good day for jet skiing. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

After a drive of ove 400 miles from Fillmore, Utah, I am now back in Lake Havasu, Arizona.

We arrived here at around 3:00 and I dropped off Mitch Geriminsky at his home and then proceeded to camp (again) at Crazy Horse Campground on Lake Havasu.

Above, The Beast at Lake Havasu. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

Mitch later came by to pick up his belongings. He's going to some social event tonight. He invited me but I am too beat for anything tonight. We're to meet up for breakfast tomorrow morning before I head to New Mexico.

It is about 109° outside and I am finally cooled off inside after a shower and with the roof air on.

I will probably sit out in the lake later this evening and then head home tomorrow morning. 

London Bridge Watercraft

One of the things on my "bucket list" was to try out jet skiing. Finally, I can now cross that off my list (although that's not stopping me from doing it again) as I went to Lake Havasu last week and rented a jet ski from London Bridge Watercraft.

London Bridge Watercraft is located on the banks of Lake Havasu at the Crazy Horse Campgrounds in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. While checking for a campground to stay at, we found that Crazy Horse Campgrounds was the only campground with on-site jet ski (and boat) rentals.

While planning the trip to Lake Havasu, I contacted London Bridge Watercraft and reserved a jet ski to use all day while we were there.

The price for the rental was reasonable ($200), but keep in mind that customers also have to pay for the gallons of gasoline they use. At least gasoline was about $2.00/gallon cheaper in Arizona than in California at the time.

Above, London Bridge Watercraft's rental office. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

The jet ski we rented was a Kawasaki Wave Runner. It was easy to use and it handled nicely. Along with the jet ski, the price also included life jackets.

The staff was very friendly and they will walk customers through all the workings of the jet ski with all of the "how tos" that go along with it before allowing the watercraft to leave the premises.

The day before, we rented pontoon boat from them for a couple of hours. That, too, was a lot of fun.

Above, Denise and Aiden on the pontoon boat. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

There are several other jet ski rental businesses in the Lake Havasu area (they are mostly clustered on the canal near the London Bridge) to choose from. Since our experience with London Bridge Watercraft was a pleasant one, we wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

So, if you are thinking about going to Lake Havasu for jet skiing, I recommend London Bridge Watercraft.

My grade: A.
