I see MSC have now have a private island featured on their Caribbean itineraries.

"We have long explored the Caribbean in search of a private paradise for our cruisers, and finally found it on Cayo Levantado. MSC Cruises is proud to introduce its very own jewel of an island. Located just off the Samaná Peninsula in the Dominican Republic, it is the ideal destination for a day of pure escapism.
Known for its pure white sand beaches, crystal clear water, and natural rainforest vegetation, it is also an ideal spot to see humpbacked whales, as thousands of the creatures migrate to the warmer North Atlantic waters during the winter months.
The white sandy beaches and crystal clear turquoise waters are perfect for snorkeling and other water-sports swimming. This Island is also known to locals as Bacardi Island because of its palm trees resemblance to the ones in the rum distiller’s advertising spots."

Let's see who can actually name the islands:

RCI: Coco Cay and Labadee
Disney: Castaway Cay
HAL: Half Moon Cay
Princess: Princess Cays
NCL: Great Stirrup Cay

Amazingly, I don't believe Carnival has a private island. Then again, they pretty much own the rest of the Caribbean.

Carnival has used Salt Cay as a private island after the collapse of Premier, and they also shared Half Moon Cay with HAL for a time- but I think this was one when Carnival Spirit and Carnival Pride were still in the Caribbean. I don't believe they call there anymore.

It is my understanding that Carnival is now searching for a PI for their Carnival brand. I have seen several differnt articles stating this.
