New with NCL....3 questions about Grand Stirrup Cay

[Vitamin_Sea]

1- Is this a tender port

 

2- Is there free food provided on this island

 

3- are there any free activities provided for guests?

 

thanks

It is on our itinerary and haven't been there yet but I know that it is a tender port.

[FreestyleNovice]

Yes to all.

 

 

Tender boats will take you ashore, they moore just at the bottom of the photo above. There's the main beach with the free buffet and a new taco stand (others chime in please :) ). There are for fee excursions like waverunners, etc. and some free like a stage, vendors market. Maybe someone else has a current daily of a day at GSC.

My pleasure, hope you will enjoy GSC!

 

NCL also has this; https://www.ncl.com/eu/en/freestyle-cruise/great-stirrup-cay

(it might redirect you to the .com site instead of the .eu version, it's somewhere under Destinations I think!)

And the taco stand was very good. They do not have plates or utensils though... which I found out after I overstuffed a shell with the intention of making it into a taco salad. The buffet is a bit of a hike with a handful of taco, so if you think you'll want a fork and a plate get it first😄

Tacos definitely require a fork since their messy

 

thanks for tip

Make sure you make reservation for the tender upon embarkation. The lines to take a tender to the island gets very long.

Or better yet, reserve a clamshell for $40- get priority tender and a place in the shade. Best money we spent all week!

How does one book a clam shell?

excursion desk on board the ship or use the kiosk/your stateroom tv.

I was there about two years on the Breakaway. I strongly suggest booking a cabana! It made the time there so much better! They can be booked as a shore excursion

Aw man. We were there last month. 15 minutes before the taco stand opened Captain called us back to the ship.
