    I'm looking forward to Ocean Cay. When booking I didn't realize the ship was docked overnight, what a bonus, with time to relax in the evening. I'm ready!

    I heard about them closing the island down early next year to do some updates.I was thinking how cool would it be if they installed a handful of glamping spots/tent spots that if you pay for it on those overnight port stays you can spend the night out under the stars of a private island. I'd pay extra for that.

    You CAN take shells from beaches in the bahamas. That is, if you're returning to the USA. Im not sure about other countries. The only requirement is that you wash the shells.

    Don’t go in July! Hot and humid. Not a fan of any of the corporate islands. The scheduled upgrade will hopefully cure a lot of issues. We did the yacht club section, bring water shoes. Also I can’t recommend the high priced cabana. The furniture needs replacement. The butlers and waiters are great but way over worked

    Cay is pronounced like key. So you would say "Ocean Key" Island, not Ocean K.

    Just came off MSC Seascape. Will NEVER cruise again with them. Dinners were nasty except for two nights and after that I thought the Chef jumped overboard. Staff were rude in buffet area. No little cafe to get a snack at night. You must go to the buffet where they served pizza EVERY night. If you never cruise with any other lines you won't be able to compare but I will never travel with them again.
