Princess Cays, Bahamas Port and Shore Excursion Review This is Princess’ private island. Because there is no pier, all passengers must be tendered to the beach, which was handled relatively quickly considering the number of passengers. Getting back on board took a while longer only because everyone waits until the last minute to get in line. It’s a beautiful beach and everything is laid out well with lots to do and plenty of places to sit. It was a beautiful day and the water was very warm and clear – truly a lovely day at the beach to relax. We chose to walk the furthest from the tender station, so it was not as crowded and the snorkeling was much better. I only had one complaint about our day; they close the bars at 1:30pm, yet the last tender wasn’t scheduled to leave until 3:30pm! As with all of the cruise lines’ private islands, the food is brought over from the ship. The food is okay and the choices were few, but given the circumstances, they did a pretty good job of providing for everyone. For those more adventuresome, there is sailing, banana boat rides, kayaking, and snorkeling gear available for rent. But overall, it was a nice day to relax and enjoy the sun, sand, and water at a beautiful beach.
