And since ship calls will stretch from day into night, the island is shown in sunlight and after dark.

Ocean Cay will have a dock, multiple palm-fringed beaches, a food court, ice cream/coffee shop and a lighthouse with a Hemingway-style bar, terrace and live music. Light shows are planned after sunset.

The first ship call, by MSC Meraviglia, is set for Nov. 9. Beginning in November, all of MSC's Caribbean cruises from PortMiami are scheduled to visit Ocean Cay.
