Are Private Islands DESTROYING Cruising or Making It BETTER?

Published February 28, 2026


Description

Cruise lines are pouring millions into private islands… but are they actually the smart choice for your itinerary?

In this video, I break down the real pros, cons, and hidden trade-offs so you can choose the right cruise for your travel style.

Private cruise islands are becoming more common on Caribbean and Bahamas itineraries — but are they better than traditional ports? In this guide, I compare private island stops vs port days, explain why cruise lines are investing so heavily in them, and show you how to decide which option is actually best for YOU.

You’ll learn the real differences in value, experience, cost, crowds, convenience, flexibility, and planning — plus a simple framework I use with my clients to help them choose the right cruise itinerary.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a cruise with a private island is worth it or if you should pick an itinerary with more traditional destinations, this will help you make a smarter decision.
