Princess’s own island in the Bahamas was a pleasant surprise. The tour staff on the boat kept telling us it was 60 degrees in the water. This seemed plausible for January in the Bahamas. This turned out not to be true however and also caused us to leave late for the island. I mean, what was the point of going. When we got there, we went to the right like all the other reviews said. It was deserted, for good reason. The entertainment was to the left, the food was to the left, the chairs were to the left. The reviews were correct about the chairs and the shade though – if you want them, go early. The burgers at the food hut were good, but the corn was soggy, way soggy. Oh yes, the water was warm enough to be fully immersed and not get chilled when exiting. Not as warm as the Caribbean, but warm enough – so don’t ask, just go.

The lunch lines at the BBQ buffet grill on Princess Cays are agonizing. You cannot hit and run but must stand and wait while some of your fellow travelers make retirement projects out of finger food. But maybe I can help here. There are four lines but they are not equal. The food stations are staggered so that lines 2 and 4 are closer to the front than lines 1 and 3. So while all the lines seem to be equal from the outside, lines 2 and 4 are actually quite a bit closer to the booty.
