Princess Cays, Bahamas Information Language and Currency Princess Cays, Bahamas Port Reviews English is the spoken language and bring US dollars for local shopping, otherwise charge everything to your shipboard account. Princess Cays is located about 30 miles from Nassau, at the southern portion of Eleuthera Island. Two miles wide, this island retreat is a great snorkeling and dive spot. A coral reef surrounds the island. It is the epitome of the cruise lines’ private beach resorts. Mangrove trees surround the spectacular white sand beaches. There are plenty of cushioned lounge chairs, beach umbrellas, tiki huts and hammocks strung in shaded areas to relax. Princess Cays enjoys a subtropical climate with mild winters, seldom dipping below 60°F. Average temperatures range in the low to upper 80’s; with water temperature never below 72°. With that said, however, just like Florida, these are averages and during winter months be prepared for an occasional cold front to cause temperature drops. To protect the coral reef that surrounds the island, ships anchor off-shore. You will be tendered to Love Boat Marina. Shop at the Tropical Treasures Boutique or from one of the local vendors offering Bahamian crafts, souvenirs or hair braiding. At the Sports Pier you can rent seaboards, sailboats, jet-skis, aqua bikes, kayaks, paddle wheelers, or banana boats. Snorkeling gear and floating mats are also available. The adventurous can parasail; explorers can discover great panoramic views and sports aficionados can play volleyball or basketball. Children have their own special areas and scheduled activities. Of course, listening to relaxing music and just “chillin” is always an option. What are my choices for dining and drinking? There are two open air barbeques, three bars offering liquid refreshment and live entertainment to compliment the experience. A “Junkanoo” procession usually begins around noon to kick off the luncheon festivities. Water, tea and lemonade are complimentary with your meal. Princess
