Great Stirrup Cay is a small island that is part of the Berry Islands in the Bahamas. Norwegian Cruise Line purchased the island from the Belcher Oil Company in 1977 and developed it into a private island for their cruise ship passengers. The northern part of the island has a sandy beach surrounded by rocks with snorkeling areas. The southern part features a helicopter airfield (with a sign reading "Great Stirrup Cay International Airport"), a large area without vegetation, and numerous concrete blocks. These are all remnants of a previous U.S. military installation and satellite tracking station. The island's lighthouse was originally constructed in 1863 by the Imperial Lighthouse Service.
Great Stirrup Cay is adjacent to Little Stirrup Cay, Royal Caribbean Cruises' private island.
Amazing Customer Service
Laurraine, as you can imagine when I woke up on October 29th 2011 and heard that all Quantas flights to Australia were cancelled I was a wreck and in a panic. The Quantas website was directing all its passengers to call there travel agent Hmm good thing I had a great one I could call at home given an emergency. Laurraine, your advice of not to worry and board my American Airlines flight to LA not only saved me around 600 dollars but assured that I would get to my brothers wedding on time. I just wanted to send you this note as you went above the call of duty by securing other routes and above all putting my mind at ease. Thanks again Ryan McElroy and Family
