If you're taking a cruise to Princess Cays or Half Moon Cay, this little trick can earn you priority
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator shares a specific strategy for passengers visiting Carnival cruise line's private islands, specifically Princess Cays and Half Moon Cay. Because these destinations require the use of tender boats to transport passengers from the ship to the shore, the process of disembarking can be time consuming. The video explains that securing priority tendering allows travelers to reach the island earlier, which helps them avoid large crowds and increases their available beach time. The suggested method to achieve this status is to book an umbrella rental for $24.99. According to the creator, this rental is classified as an excursion, and booking it grants the passenger the privilege of priority tendering. This approach provides both shade and an efficient way to begin the island experience.

Creator's Key Takeaways
Here's my favorite Carnival private island hack, and it involves this.
And this is the magic ticket to get yourself priority tendering, which is important because two of Carnival's private islands, Princess Key and Half Moon Key, are tenders, meaning you take a lot of time getting to and from the destination from the cruise ship.
So, having priority means you can get out there early and beat the crowds and maximize your time at the beach.
So, what you need to do is just rent an umbrella for $24.99.
