The Next One!!

We enjoyed having you onboard the Jade. Thank you for supporting the shows. ❤

Over the years, on multiple ships, we have been on them all. Our favorite port is now the one where most the most people get off the ship. That leaves the buffet, the adult pool, the sun decks, the various tastings to a just a few hundred people to enjoy.

The section that you just let the video run with the sound of the ship and water while you tendered away just sent me into a deep breathe and relax mode. I miss being on a cruise ship. Worst part, I don't even have another on the books yet! I wish I could go more than every two years (which seems to be our average).

I kind of did the same thing then he spoke and it startled me back to watching.😂

Hey Tony, I have learned to never wear cotton in a hot or humid climate. I turn into a dripping sponge. I now wear those newfangled nylon stay dry shirts. They are amazing AND they can be washed in your stateroom sink and will hang dry overnight! They will dry in under 1 hour if draped over a chair on your veranda. I now have pants with zip off legs that have the same amazing properties. Makes carry on ONLY travel a breeze.

Thanks for making me look forward to a tender ride. Most people complain about them. I'm going to appreciate them from now on.

Tony I absolutely love you doing these types of videos!! They’re perfect! And to see Jenny is always wonderful! ❤

Yes!! Great little island and when you’re the only ship in town and one of the smaller ones, it feels like your own personal island!

Our favorite cruise port is our next cruise port.

THANK YOU for the mini vacay vid tour! I am currently going thru radiation after mastectomy and sooooooo ready for another cruise. All I can do right now is watch them on youtube! THanks bunches!

Hope you feel better soon!! Sending prayers 🙏🙏

It sure has changed over the years. When we went many years ago, they had grills. Beach barbecue vibe. You could explore the island. Just sandy pathways. We explored the island and it was wonderful. Sometimes I think less is more. The tenders only held about 25 people. They had snorkel and float rentals. I’m glad we experienced the early days of the private island.

The private island is wonderful to explore and experience. We’ve been there several times when our son was younger. Now we just stay on the ship and enjoy the pool. We’re in our 60’s now. 😊

Really, really enjoyed this video. What a comprehensive yet not too long and never boring tour of NCL’s private island. After watching all your port videos, I now want to take a cruise on Norwegian on this itinerary!

Seems to have a similar vibe to Half Moon Cay (HAL/Carnival) - AKA "Little San Salvador island" - only more developed. The focus is on the beach and excursions instead of "amusement park" attractions. We've loved every stop we've made at Half Moon Cay!

You give great tours..thanks!!

I also like the tender ride and the views of the ship. I always come home with lots of such pictures.

We love that port. We sat right behind you last time under that grass hut, when you were drinking your margarita. Going to the right is the best. My husband snorkeled out there by the rocks and saw all kinds of cool fish and a barracuda.

I was so happy to hear you mention how tendering is one of your favorite things! Me too for the exact same reason!

I think that circular structure in front of the tequila bar is a spot to take photos (you sit on the little bench, and you can see the ocean behind your heads, with a circular frame made out of the branches).

I’ve spent several days at Great Stirrup Cay, and everyone of them has been just fantastic. Love that place

We really were surprised on this beautiful island for NCL. It was gorgeous. If you ask me, Princess really needs to step up their private island game!

Nice job Tony showing us around especially for a guy who's not a big fan of the blazing sun! You revealed some good hidden spots and the taco bar!

Another great video tour. I love your enthusiasm and the fact that you enjoy everything unabashedly. You make me remember why I used to love cruising. Thanks for taking us along.

A very good coverage of Great Stirrup Cay, Tony. Thank you for taking the time out to show us what we can look forward to when we tender there from the Norwegian Epic in December.

There is no pool or pier. Sale with Royal Caribbean if you want the good private island.

Tony, I’m not a real beach person either, but thx for showing us. It’s a beautiful place and I see why people would want to relax there a day. You’d find me on my balcony. 😂

Thanks for sharing. You are doing a good job of making me want to go to the Caribbean on NCL.

Wowww! What a great overview of "Great Stirrup Cay" I have to visit this island--Awesome overview! My husband and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how you "Keep it real". You tell the good, the great, and the most interesting about cruising!!!❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥

You seem to enjoy everything you do. Big or small. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Tony for the tour

I’m really enjoying your tours and live shots.

I love the private islands… but can’t imagine NOT going into that delightful water!!

Really enjoy traveling with you including the excursions. Thanks for taking us along.

Thank you for the video!

Love the adventures Tony! Thank you!!

Thank you for taking us along in your adventures!! Love the ability to preview potential stops for my next cruise!

i really enjoyed this post...i felt as if i was walking along with you...your observations and comments were very helpful/useful...your cruise news is a favorite

I agree, tendering can be the fun part.

Thanks for this video.

wow!! That's beautiful!

Great Video Tony!

Thanks for your great tour. We always enjoy your informative and entertaining videos.

Great video Tony. Enjoying all your posts of this trip! Well done!🇨🇦❤️

That was a really great pull way video from the tender! Cool!!

FUN!!!! I wish I was there!!!! I also love seeing the ship from the tender boat… I’m the same… love the tender, love the ship, love it all. They fascinate me!

I was at Great Stirrup Cay last June. Really enjoyed seeing it again thru this video. I did the zipline when I was there. Fun for an old guy like me.

Thanks Tony, I really enjoyed this video 🙂

We love Norwegian and their private island!!!

Great video, Tony!

That is truly a fun stop. May be time to give NCL another try. I made one important observation, however, flies were not swarming the food like they do at Princess Cays. I refuse to eat there.

The only time we've visited Great Stirrup Cay was in 2011. Wow -- how it's 'grown up'!! 😁 I've never been to RCCL's island -- but had NO idea there WAS anything that close, let alone that island. 😮

Good Job Mike!!!

Great video Tony.

We were to Great Stirrup key in January for the first time and really liked it, we sat on lounge chairs and just relaxed it was great relaxing day while on a 9 day cruise.

You picked a good time to tender back! Sometimes when you go later the lines are longer and everyone is worn out🥵 Get back to enjoy a less busy ship and an afternoon nap🥰😴🥳

Great parting shot. Love these videos 😊

Thanks for the cruise news and your views

We are going to miss you two this halloween 😮‍💨

Silver Cove is the private part of the Caye... we (6-8 of us) usually rent one... a/c, private patio, living room, full bathroom, some have a bedroom, a private higher end buffet, and a secluded beach area... worth it with a bigger group cruising together!!

Great photography work Tony! Love the video of the ship.

Great video Tony

Love Great Stirrup Key.

Really enjoyable video. I missed some of the areas. Thank you for letting me view all the sights on the island. I watched it a few times.😊

Great video. Keep up the great work. The artifact reminded me of a story about my friend Bob who was on a family vacation in Hawaii. He found and artifact in the in an Hawaiian cemetery. The artifact turned out to be cursed . His his brother was bitten by a tarantula and his other brother almost drown surfing. Bob spent the rest to the trip trying to return the artifact to the ancient burial spot.

We just purchased 3 Guy Harvey painting on the Carnival Pride (the cruise you were on). It was great seeing the lighthouse and his painting. Now I need to go to the island and take some pictures. Thanks!!

I love the private islands- they are truly the perfect beach days ❤️

Hopefully smooth seas out there!!

The Royal Caribbean version of that Bill Withers classic is "Perfect Day, Perfect Day, Perfect Day...." And they play it (sometimes twice) on the ships as soon as the gangways open.

Love that you enjoyed Great Stirrup Cay! 💙

Tony, one of your best videos EVER!!!

Loved that NCL private island!

I love the Jade. First ship, first love.

Norwegian has announced that they are building a dock for ships at Great Stirrup Cay. Should be done by the end of 2025. Will really help as GSC is often missed by ships due to unsafe tendering conditions.

Yes! Cancelling when winds are over 16 mph, seems about half the time. It’s my favorite for the snorkeling.

They are going to tear up a lot of reef, though, which is sad. Environmental concerns kept NCL from building a dock for years. I get that people want easier access, but frankly I'm sad that NCL caved to the pressure. I actually enjoy the tender ride, too, feels more like an escape to me somehow.

Yes, my last 2 visits to GSC, too rough to get off the ship! Always sad to watch the island as we tun around and leave without getting off early in the morning!!

Loving your adventures on the Jade ❤

I love tender boats. It’s an extra boat ride!! I love all boats!❤️🛳️

Our favorite tender at the NCL private island was a former tender boat from our first cruise ship, the Norway.

Great video ❤❤❤❤

My son and I are going on the Jade in August. Can't wait to visit Great Stirrup Cay!

Love Great Stirrup Cay!

I have watched a few of your videos now and always enjoy your take on life for us intrepid explorers especially the last couple of videos where you take us on tours onboard and off. I have not yet explored most of the places you have talked about so you make a good tour guide. I'm off on my second cruise in October to The Canaries, as I'm from the UK it's not too far to travel but am going to places not yet explored. Have fallen in love with cruising, so thanks again for aiding me in trying to decide where to go after this one!

Thanks for the view of the island, I enjoyed it, thanks for sweating while we sit in AC enjoying the view.

Wow looks good 👍

Thanks Tony. We have been there many times, love it PLUS, we can use your Ship Card for drinks and all food no charge! Quiet and clean. Your vid has sold many people on it plus building a pier there in 2025.

I love the tenders too! As well as the private islands. I grew up a beach girl and am now land locked.

look like the old tenders from the ss norway

Enjoy.

I really enjoyed this video. Relaxing and it was fun to wander with you. Wish I could have had the eats and drink also. Plenty to eat and drink. Ha. Great Stirrup Cay>. NICE. Thanks for taking us along.

The best type of La Lido Loca , Ship times

Passed by both islands off in the distance on the way to Nassau and could see three ships. Two at Perfect Day and one at Great Stirrup Cay. Looked cool.

Never been to that island. I have been to Coco Cay many time - - pre-upgrade and post upgrade. I remember tendering into the island . Amazed at the changes there. Anyway - - one of our favorite stops is the private island destinations.

Great video ❤

Nice tour. Made me want a margarita

Love GSC, beverage package follows you and free food and a great beach day.

We rode back to the island just to ride the tender again.. just a nice view.. but we always leave the port super early and beat the crowds so we had plenty of time.

I love the private island tour, can’t wait for our next cruise adventure in November.

I love all your videos but have been particularly enjoying your recent ones filmed on a cruise.

Love Love Love ur videos . I thx u ❤❤❤

I LOVE Great Stirrup Cay!! It’s always a highlight of our cruises.

@@jamesirwin6983 I think your comment was meant for the video and not my comment.

There is a real light house, as well as the remnants of the light house settlement, on Great Stirrup, I was last at the settlement in the early 1980s. I know the light house is still there, but NCL has not been allowed to lease that area. You can see the real light house front Little Stirrup and from the ship on the way to Bertram Cove. My first time to Great Stirrup was before the NCL lease. In 1979, we saw the first beach chairs show up. The light house you can see is for the zipline. I did see the light house when I went on the kayak excursion from a part of the NCL leased area that you didn't see.

Hey Tony, great video! I need to go back to see all the things you showed me I missed:o

Love Love Love GSC!! Beautiful!! FYI --- there 3 weeks ago on NCL Breakaway .... No tax was charged from any beverage consumed on GSC so that must only be sometimes
