Vacationdreamer<>< Posted March 11, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Forgive my ignorance regarding cruise lines’ private islands. my original experience was DCL Castaway Cay, where most of the food and beach activities were free and excursions were add on. I'm looking at a handful of cruises that stop by “Private Islands” (Half Moon Cay, Princess Cays, Coco Cay.) And I haven’t even started to look at NCL and MSC offerings. It seems like close to nothing is free on any of these? No food anyway. Are the beaches at least no charge? is Mahogany Bay a Carnival owned beach in Honduras? Is there a primer anywhere? Thank you.

mjkacmom Posted March 11, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I know food is free on NCL’s island, I’ve never heard of a cruise line private island not providing food (islands staffed by the cruise staff). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of free food on coco cay. No doubt RCCL advertises the stuff they charge you for but there’s plenty of free stuff. We snorkeled and that was free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantbob Posted March 12, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Food and non alcoholic drinks are free with Carnival on Half moon cay (certain lunch hours only). Mahogany Bay is a free beach area at Carnivals port, easy walk to the ship. There are free chairs but the food is not free there. There are several restaurants and bars with standard beach prices. It's about a ten minute walk back to the ship if you don't want to pay for lunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
