Every major cruise line offers Caribbean cruises, and Princess Cruises is no exception. In fact, they offer about 230 different itineraries around the Caribbean and Bahamas from 2024 to 2026, with very affordable prices. For example, in our simulation, we selected a long 7-night cruise aboard one of their top ships and found a great price. You might even pay less if you choose a different ship.
Princess Cays
Princess Cays is Princess Cruise Line’s private port of call in the Bahamas. This is a private location that is all about a cozy beach and for you to relax. You won’t find any crazy waterparks or attractions like you’d find on Royal Caribbean’s CocoCay, since Princess Cruises is all about an older audience and relaxing.
Princess Cays is all about a relaxing beach day. The beach is pleasant, and you can rent a clamshell for shade if you like. The water is clear and calm, but there isn’t anything particularly special about it. However, sometimes a cozy day at the beach is all you need.
You can try some extra, paid activities, including:
- Stingray Encounter
- Private & Sanctuary Bungalows
- Snorkeling
- Banana Boat Ride
- Fishing
