Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island) Port Reviews

Port was great!! A little tip...only dead fish go with the flow!! Everyone gets off the water taxis and they all go left. Make a right!! Walk over the little bridge and enjoy Paradise! a beautiful reef to snorkel, bar staff bringing drinks whenever needed, no crowds and the same food they set up on the other side with a 1/3 of the line.

We love Princess Cays. A great free beach day and the lunch buffet is very good too. You can walk to the right side when you get off the tender and have a much quieter beach. Keep walking past the chairs to almost private beach.

We spent most of today at Princess Cays, I rented a little bungalow and it was perfect for our family. We were on the first tender off the ship, walked to our bungalow and started our day. The water was chilly at first, but once you are in, it's great. The family enjoyed snorkeling and floating in the water. When I originally booked the bungalow it was for max of 4 people @199.00, once on the ship, I got a paper to visit shore excursion desk to select which # and you can add 2 more people for additional $25.99 each. That got us priority tendering for 6 (first water shuttle). 6 beach towels for us to use, cooler with 12 cans of soda (I picked from list available, Pepsi products) and 2 large bottles of water, large bag of tortilla chips, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, carrots, celery, oranges, plates, forks, cups, napkins and ice bucket, there was snorkeling equipment for 6, and 2 mats for floating in the water. We had 2 more family members arrive later, we sailed on Carnival. The bungalow served a great home base for the whole family. We were in #13 aka Pineapple, a restroom and bar were close by. Bring water shoes. The bungalow is air conditioned and had a round table with 4 chairs, outside 2 loungers on the deck, and 2 additional loungers with an umbrella. Lunch is free to everyone and served from 11am to 1pm.

We visited Princess Cays 8 days after the fire. They were still trying to get power restored and some bathrooms were still closed down. But it seemed like everyone at Carnival just went an extra mile there to make us feel on vacation. It was a great day to relax and take in the sun, beach, and fun.

Fabulous.!!! Rented a $199 bungalow. It came with floats, 4 sets of snorkeling gear, reserved chaises, umbrellas and a shower. They brought a cooler of sodas, chips, salsa, Guacamole and sour cream and a huge plate of fresh fruit . Close to bathrooms and the bar b que. Airconditioned if you wanted to cool off. Best $$ we spent on this trip! Private and away from the masses. Note: one $199 bungalow is for 4 people NOT $199 each person. Again best $$ we spent on the trip!.

We really enjoyed Princess Cays! We decided not to do any excursions here & just enjoy a beach day. We found 5 loungers under an awning in the shade (score!) and did some swimming. The beach was a bit rocky where you first get in but we had water shoes so we were prepared. We had the buffet lunch which was good & then checked out the observation deck. Fabulous views from up there, we got great family pictures! All in all it was a nice, relaxing day!

1st time at Princess Cay , it was gorgeous.

LOVED it. The tendering experience was really cool and the island itself was awesome. Very clean and lots of room on the beach. We never felt crowded. The provided lunch was great (how nice!!) and the staff was very attentive. The kids really enjoyed snorkeling. I would definitely go back to Princess Cays! Good job Carnival!

I was super excited about this port, as I'm a beach girl. This was a wonderful port and for the first time ever I swam in the ocean!!! Lots to do or you can do nothing but lay in the sun.
