Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island) Port Reviews

Enjoyable beach experience. We avoided the crowds and stayed on the south side. Food ok except for flies at fruit,but not sure how it could be helped. Went through the gate and bought a few souvenirs on the Non princess cay part of the island. Faster to the Fun again came through with a priority tender from ship to island.

I love all the private islands but this port is very rocky so you have to be off early to find a good beach spot.

Unless you are into water sport type stuff there’s not much to do here.

No excursion available just stayed on island. However NOT LONG BECAUSE NOTHING WAS INCLUDED!!!! QUICK LUNCH BUFFET WHICH WAS COLD AND NASTY!!! no drinks, no rafts, no activities included at all. And only excepted cash on the island ALSO ONCE AGAIN...VERY...TASTELESS....ON....CARNIVALS....PART

Good time on Princess Cays. Food was typical burgers, hot dogs, and chicken. One "problem" is the burgers/dogs line was different than the chicken line. If you got in line for a specific food, you couldn't get something in the other line without going back to the line and waiting. I chose burgers but the chicken line had green beans which the burger line did not. If I wanted green beans, I would have had to get back in line for a 15 minute wait just to get green beans. Passed!

Water was rough and not much to do. Also the drink package was not being honoring if you were on Carnival. $6 for 2 waters. :-(

Having priority for the shuttle boat makes a big difference. The loungers under cover are always in demand, so it's good to grab those early before the throngs arrive on the island. The lines for the lunch food items are horrendous. Better to go back to the ship for lunch.

The small shuttle boat had to transfer us to the island, packed and hot! The island itself had nothing special, hardly any shopping, but the food was great!

Beautiful beach, clean and clear blue water. We just rented one of the clam shells and had a perfect day relaxing. The cruise line brings a selection of food and all beverages.

Beautiful cruiseline owned port with 2 beaches. One to the right of the ship is less populated and sandier, and the one to the left has the shops (both inside and outside of the cruise gate), the buffet, sting Ray's, shopping and a larger beach. I will warn you, parts of this beach are rocky, so bring water shoes. All in all, it was a nice beach and the live music was enjoyable.
