Creator's Key Takeaways

I've never been to Princess Keys. Ariel and I have not been.

It's a shame that Princess Key is a tender port because it's such a gorgeous, peaceful port other than the tendering.

The truth about Princess Key, it's a hidden gem and I would love to return.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Pre-book an umbrella for $40 to save money compared to $45 on the island.
โœ“Wear water shoes to avoid stubbing toes on rocks in the water.

Tendering wait times โ€” Be prepared for long lines; staff provides water and towels.
Water safety and rocks โ€” Wear water shoes to avoid injuries.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

I visited Princess Cay for the first time on one of the inaugural season cruises aboard Star Princess. Princess Cay often gets forgotten in the excitement for the mega-million dollar private islands like Coco Cay and Celebration Cay. In this video, come walk in the sand with me to determine if Princess Cay is a hidden gem or dated island of the past. Watch my entire Star Princess cruise series and sail away to Princess Cay, Amber Cove, and Grand Turk on this inaugural season Eastern Caribbean cruise.
