MSC Ocean Cay: EVERYTHING! Cabanas, Yacht Club, Food & Long Lines!

Set sail with us to Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, MSC Cruises’ exclusive private island in the Bahamas! This dynamic, two-part travel vlog reveals everything you need to know about the ultimate Caribbean cruise stop for 2025 and beyond—perfect for cruise fans, first-timers, and MSC Yacht Club guests eager to plan their next Caribbean adventure. Filmed in March 2025. Pls note that a new beach for YC guests opened in June 2025 which is not included in this video (as we were unaware of MSCs plans!) Part 1: Discover the luxury of being an MSC Yacht Club guest on Ocean Cay. We show you every VIP perk, from exclusive beach access and private golf buggy transport to the Ocean House Bar & Grill, luxury cabanas (oceanfront and ocean view), and personalised service. Find out if the Yacht Club’s premium experience is worth the upgrade and get our honest tips on beach conditions, what to pack (sand shoes are a must!), and how to snag the best sun beds. Part 2: Not cruising Yacht Club? No worries! We tour all the public beaches, including the highly rated Lighthouse Beach, with its pristine white sand, crystal-clear water, and postcard-worthy coconut palms. See the best swimming spots, where to eat, and hidden gems anyone can enjoy on Ocean Cay—even without VIP status. Walking or taking the pathways? Get advice on navigating the island, managing crowds, and maximising your port day experience. Is the Yacht Club Worth It? Get real talk on whether the private Yacht Club lounge, beach area, and all-inclusive food & drinks measure up to other cruise line islands like Royal Caribbean’s Perfect Day at CocoCay and Princess Cays. If top-notch beaches or foodie experiences are a must, we break down what to expect, the pros & cons, and personal ratings. #OceanCay #MSCCruises #YachtClub #CruiseVlog #CaribbeanCruise #TravelGuide #BahamasCruise #PrivateIsland #CruiseTips #CruiseReview #BeachVacation #Seascape #LighthouseBeach Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:46 Departing the Ship 01:39 Timelapse to the Yacht Club Area 02:39 Yacht Club Beach 03:33 Beachfront Cabanas 04:54 Beach view Cabanas 06:50 Thoughts on the Yacht Club area of Ocean Cay 09:02 Ocean House Lunch Review 15:20 Interlude 16:33 Back on the Ship 19:25 Seven Days Later… 19:57 Lighthouse Beach 21:46 Admitting Mistakes 22:02 Overview of the Island 22:46 Finding Food 23:28 The Smiling Fish and Spinger’s Bar 23:46 Residences 24:12 Expansion of Ocean Cay Rumours 24:33 The Buffet at Ocean Cay 26:09 Glen’s Disappeared! 27:05 Seekers Family Cove 27:36 Burger Van 29:00 Family Lagoon and Wildlife 20:29 The Great Lagoon 33:25 Secret Beach that has no name 34:29 Final Thoughts
