Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

We waited in line for 1.5 hours trying to get back to ship. There was no communication of why there was a wait or anything. Someone should have been communicating.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island Did not visit port

Due to high wind. My wife attended a class and purchased a $25 coupon book for this port and couldn’t attend. I understand safety comes first but a refund should be given for the book that is of no use to us.

She got drawn into the coupon book? We did too for Amber Cove and most of the "Free Stuff" wasnt available.

Yes the Tricia is near casino bar where they allow smoking. It's terrible to even pass through the area much less stay to participate
