We stopped at Princess Cays during our Eastern Caribbean Cruise last December. The beach had to be reached by tender, which was OK, but caused a small delay in getting back and forth. The beach was beautiful, but the water was cold and the areas where you entered it were kind of rocky. There wasn't much to see or do... More

We stopped at Princess Cays on our Southern Caribbean cruise. We had to access it by tender. What a beautiful beach. Walking on the dock the water this beautiful turquoise and crystal clear, and we could see fish swimming around. Princess had lots of activities on the beach, or you could just relax on the beach. Souvenir shops were expensive.... More

If you arrive on Princess I suggest skipping this beach and booking a private excursion to another beach on the island (I suggest Lighthouse Beach). This beach had way too much crushed coral up close to the shore and several of our friends cut thier feet while wading into the ocean. The upside is Princess did offer lots of activities... More

We stopped at Princess Cays on our Southern Caribbean cruise. It was such a beautiful place. The water was so clear and turquoise. Standing at the dock you could see all the fish and it was so clear it looked like you could just reach out and touch them. There was music on the beach and it was so relaxing.... More

As you approach the island and disembark from the tender, most of the passengers walked to the left side of the island which seemed to be the most popular place to enjoy the beach. I visited the island with several friends, and we are all over 70 years of age. The beach is nice, of course very crowded and if... More

Our last stop on our 10 day cruise was Princess Cays. We were not sure what to expect but were pleasantly surprised with all the beach chairs available. Be sure and wear water shoes as there is a lot of coral and rocks in the water but once you get past that, the water has a sandy bottom. We rented... More

Unlike our past experiences with private islands, we were pleasantly surprised. The area was clean and large enough to accommodate 3000 or so cruise guests. We rented a clam shell, that protected us from the sun for $29.00. The buffet was a typical beach BBQ well done so that there were no lines. The bathrooms were clean and the water... More

Arrive early for first choice of lounge chairs. Wear water shoes! (Rocks in the water.) $9 water chair is fun. Buffet lunch (no charge) was decent, but drinking water & tea were yucky. Clean, nice day in clear (but cooler than expected) water. Best perk... having the whole place just for our ship!

I have to admit I thought going to a privately owned beach would be a bit lame as generally my highlight of most ports is to observe the culture, architect, history etc. Obviously there were none of those aspects at this Princess Cruise Lines ready made beach activity site. However, it is a beautiful beach on the Bahama Island of... More

This exclusive port of call of the Princess cruise lines is a fantastic stop for beach fun, water sports, and relaxation. When the Princess cruise ship anchors just offshore you are tendered over and the beaches are right there - take your pick of going left or right. White sand beach and beach chairs are all ready and waiting for... More
