Looking for a private transfer in Orlando?

Looking for a private transportation company in Orlando??? I received fantastic service with Orlando Superior Transportation. The van was clean and very comfortable.

NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE MAKES CHANGES TO DRINK PACKAGE AT GREAT STIRRUP CAY

Beginning later this year, Norwegian cruise line will be rolling out significant enhancements to the guest amenities at Great Stirrup Cay. These enhancements will include a new pier, an expansive pool area with complimentary loungers, a thrilling splash pad area for kids, and more.

Today Norwegian Cruise line made this announcement regarding their ships beverage package stating that it will no longer be honored on their private island Great Stirrup Cay starting March 1, 2026.

Here is the announcement directly from NCL:
 “As we look to transform the on-island experience, we have evaluated our policies and made the decision that shipboard beverage packages will no longer be applicable for drinks on Great Stirrup Cay beginning March 1, 2026. Complimentary beverages, including water, iced tea, juices, and more, will continue to be readily available on the island with the use of the guest’s key card. 
 As an alternative and to provide our guests the flexibility to curate how they experience “The Great Life,” we will offer our guests the ability to purchase a new beverage package crafted exclusively for Great Stirrup Cay. Further details on the new beverage package available at Great Stirrup Cay will be shared in the future, and guests will be able to purchase their package beginning January 1, 2026.
We look forward to opening these new experiences on the island for guests to enjoy, including the all-new Great Tides Waterpark in the summer of 2026, featuring 19 waterslides, a dynamic river, and more attractions for the whole family.”
For awareness, guests booked on sailings visiting Great Stirrup Cay on or after March 1, 2026, will receive a notification letter today, October 8, 2025, outlining this update.  

NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE ANNOUNCES NEW EXPANSION PLAN FOR THEIR PRIVATE ISLAND, GREAT STIRRUP CAY

Norwegian Cruise Line unveiled the Company’s plans to expand the offerings at its private island, one of NCL’s top guest-rated ports, with new experiences that will deliver MORE to do and MORE to enjoy for guests of all ages. Guests can look forward to an expansive area for guests to soak up the warm Bahamian sun with an oversized heated pool. The soon-to-be hot-spot on the island will offer experiences for the whole family including a splash zone with fun water fountains and features for children, as well as a swim-up bar for guests who want to keep enjoying their unlimited open bar package off the ship. 

Along with the debut of the new multi-ship pier later this year, guests will step ashore and be greeted by an engaging welcome center and a convenient new tram service that will provide an effortless way to get around the island and speed right into vacation mode. The island’s development plans also include extending guest-favorite onboard experiences to Great Stirrup Cay. The island will feature a new Vibe Beach Club, the adults-only outdoor lounge with private cabanas, loungers and other upgraded amenities, as well as Horizon Park, the all-new recreational area which recently debuted on Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Breakaway that provides lawn style games and a place to gather for the whole family. To continue the authentic beachside Bahamian vibe the island is known for, a new relaxation area will come to life with swaying hammocks perfect for an afternoon nap, as well as other Tiki-inspired amenities and experiences yet to be revealed.
