MSC moves private island opening date

MSC Cruises has moved the opening date of its Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve in the Bahamas to December 5.

The initial launch date has been extended due to weather conditions with strong winds and heavy swell caused several days of interruptions and created additional delays.

This included heavy weather in early November, which required one part of the island to be reinforced. The work on the island is an on-going process.

MSC Cruises’ ships that were scheduled to call at the island before December 5 will be rerouted to alternative Caribbean destinations or will add a day at sea to their schedule.

Guests will be compensated for the missed call at Ocean Cay.
