2. Day 2

   Great Stirrup Cay

   BahamasPort

   Norwegian's Berry Islands beach is the oldest of the private-island calls - the line has used it since 1977. It was a tender operation for decades, which made short calls miserable, until a two-ship pier opened at the end of 2025 and ships began tying up. Bertram's Cove is the main swimming beach. The buffet lunch is included; cabanas, the Silver Cove villas, watersports rentals and the spa are not.

   • Bertram's Cove, the main beach
   • The included beach barbecue buffet
   • Snorkel gear, kayaks and floats for rent (extra cost)
   • Private cabanas and the Silver Cove lagoon villas (extra cost)

   Getting ashore

   Ships dock at the pier that opened in December 2025 - older trip reports describing a tender ride no longer apply.

   Best months

   Nov-Apr for calm seas and reliable calls; summer is hotter with afternoon storms

3. Day 3 · At sea

4. Day 4

   Falmouth

   JamaicaPort

   Royal Caribbean built this pier in 2011 beside a genuine Georgian town - Falmouth has some of the best-preserved 18th-century architecture in the Caribbean, most of it derelict. The port itself is a gated shopping village designed to imitate the town next to it. Outside the gate the vendor pressure is immediate and heavy, and most passengers leave on an excursion rather than explore.

   • Luminous Lagoon bioluminescence, on evening calls
   • Bamboo rafting on the Martha Brae
   • Dunn's River Falls, about 90 minutes east
   • Good Hope Estate for zip lines and ATVs

   Getting ashore

   Ships dock; the port village is at the gangway and old Falmouth is just outside the gate, but expect persistent hustling from the moment you step through.

   Best months

   Dec-Apr is driest; May and October are the two rain peaks, and Aug-Oct is hurricane season
