    Oh my, that is really good to know about when to get a towel. That queue definitely cut into your time on the island. And good thing you were the only ship there as it would’ve been too busy! And glad you were able to make most of your time despite the storms.

      That line for the towels was just the first of many that day. It would be nice if they had a pier they could dock at to get everyone on the island faster.

    Wow good tip for the towels.
    I suppose its to be expected with so many people waiting and lines but honestly this puts me off a cruise.
    Good that the drinks package works for the island
    Shame about the weather but still looked warm.
    Lunch buffet looked good.

    • @TheAverageTourist

      Yes the towel line was so long! We enjoyed the sunshine while we had it (at least I did 🤣 my husband preferred the rain)

    Our only NCL cruise was to Alaska so we haven't had the opportunity to visit Great Stirrup Cay - great overall review.

    The beach looks great. A nice way to enjoy and relax. It's good that the drinks and food are including in your package. The ziplining looks fun. Shame about the weather conditions.

    The line for the towels 😮 great tip to grab one the day before.
    Well, at least your umbrella protected you from the sun 🌞 and the rain 🌧️
    That coconut fudge dessert looked great!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  2 месяца назад

      Yeah we won't make the towel mistake again and thankfully Alan needs his shade so it worked out in out favour both ways to have that umbrella. Delish dessert for sure.

    Crazy that they own their own island. Amazing what they've done with it. The beaches look fantastic. Nice that the drink packages carry over. I'd be ticked if I paid extra for that but, while on the island they decided to extort me for more money.

    It looks like the island was very nice. The lighthouse was so pretty with the pictures painted on it. Too bad you had rain and crowds.

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  2 месяца назад

      We still had a great time despite the crowds and weather. If we go back I'll be hoping for sunshine 🌞

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  2 месяца назад

      Thanks so much! Yeah we will just have to go back on a nicer day if we can.

    Beautiful experience on this boat, and the private island is just amazing. However, it's sad that the rain spoiled the atmosphere a bit.

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  2 месяца назад

      Yes the rain killed the day, but we still had a good time.

  • @StepsbyKaatje

    I guess this was not the best excursion... Long lines and rain. But the temperature looked nice and warm... At least something...
    Good overview!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  2 месяца назад

      We made the best of it. Weather is never in your control unfortunately 🤦‍♀️

    We got rained out the last time we went to the island. The food looked good. We just left and didn’t try the food. Next time!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  2 месяца назад

      I hope we cam get back again on a sunnier day! The food was pretty good 👍

    looks like it would be amazing in good weather. i guess it can't be perfect everyday!! why are the ferries to the ship called 'tenders' I havent heard that term before.... except for chicken tenders that is lol! someone was in their element under and umbrella playing games on his phone....

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  2 месяца назад

      Haha I always think of chicken tenders, too when it comes to those boats. No idea why they are called that.
