Norwegian Cruise Line is informing guests of operational changes in Great Stirrup Cay due to recent winter storms.

According to a statement sent to guests onboard the Norwegian Prima, the port’s pier and pool are temporary unavailable.

Currently undergoing a major expansion project, Great Stirrup Cay serves as the company’s private island destination in the Bahamas.

“Following the winter storms that moved through the region this weekend, the island’s pier and pool will be temporarily unavailable as our teams work to bring them back online later this week,” Norwegian explained.

Instead of docking at the destination’s pier, the Norwegian Prima anchored off Great Stirrup Cay to tender guests ashore.

The company said that the operation aimed at allowing guests to “still enjoy everything that makes the destination so special.”

“We understand that changes like this can feel disappointing, and we want to assure you that even with these temporary adjustments, Great Stirrup Cay continues to offer a welcoming escape where you can unwind,” Norwegian added.

Sailing from Port Canaveral, the Norwegian Prima is currently offering a seven-night cruise to the Western Caribbean and the Bahamas.

In addition to the private island, the itinerary includes visits to Montego Bay in Jamaica, George Town in the Cayman Islands and Cozumel in Mexico.

Great Stirrup Cay’s pier and swimming pool opened in late 2025, as part of a series of upgrades that are currently being carried out at the destination.

In related news, Royal Caribbean also had to adjust operations in Perfect Day at CocoCay due to last weekend’s winter storms.

Located near Great Stirrup Cay, the company’s private island destination saw at least two visits cancelled this week.

In statements to guests onboard the affected vessels, Royal Caribbean said that the visits had to be cancelled while divers locate catwalks that were lost near the island’s pier during the storms.
