When it comes to cruise vacations, few perks are more exciting than a stop at a private island. But not all private islands are created equal. Some are packed with water slides and adrenaline-pumping attractions, while others focus on soft sand, calm waters, and zero stress. So which cruise line’s private island is the BEST? Let’s break it down.
The Bahamas are a very popular spot for cruise lines to travel to.
The crystal clear oceans and white sand beaches are an easy allure for many travelers, especially those who live in colder states or don’t have any beaches nearby to visit in/around their hometown. Disney Cruise Line has many stops there (including their own private resort), and other cruise lines like Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Lines, among others, do the same. However, at Carnival’s newly opened Celebration Key Resort, two different travelers have drowned in one day.
