Great Sirrup Cay Chriatmas Cruise

[Kaboochi]

We will be there December 2915. It'd love to hear positive because I was there when they were renovating, in Sept 2012. The flies were all over the food, the food lines were long and the beach chairs were all taken. I am traveling for the holiday with my daughter and her boyfriend. Has this beach changed for the better? I would,love to hear details of how they have improved this beach because I truly don't want to spend the day on the ship. Thank you

We have been to GSC three times this year. NCL has spent a lot of money to improve the island. The waverunners are a blast and the stingray encounter was a lot of fun (both paid excursions).

 

There are a lot of loungers to accommodate the larger ships. Didn't notice too many flies. Birds are annoying.

 

Clam Shells: The island offers little to no shade… so rent one of the dark blue clamshells for a private island hideaway ($30). The clamshells along the main beach sell out fast, go to the shore excursion desk early in the cruise, reserve one, and get to the island early. IMPORTANT: on the island, a clamshell attendant will set up a clamshell for you… make sure you select one with a mesh ventilation panel… the shells made of solid canvas get hot and you may end up being a baked clam by the end of the day.

 

Lunch: The lunch at the Jumbey Beach Grill was great picnic food (don’t expect fine dining). Pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, a selection of cold salads, desserts, and a tropic fruit bar. The lines at the buffet may look long, but move quickly. Covered tables next to the grill provide great views as you enjoy your picnic lunch.

We missed it last year but scheduled mid-December if you have any specific questions. When we were there last time the birds were horrible.
