Princess Cays Cruise Port Guide: Tips and Overview Update

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides an updated guide to Princess Cays, a private beach resort in the Bahamas owned by Carnival Corporation. The video details the layout of the port, noting that the north side is more popular and features expansive beach areas, shops, and a barbecue pavilion, while the south side offers a quieter experience with fewer crowds. Visitors can access the island via complimentary water shuttles from anchored ships. Amenities mentioned include restrooms, lockers, first aid stations, and various rental options such as air conditioned bungalows and clamshells. The creator highlights the availability of complimentary buffet food and discusses the use of beverage packages, noting that Princess Cruise Lines packages are accepted on the island while Carnival Cruise Lines packages are not. The guide also covers specific locations like the Pelican's Perch play area and the Crow's Nest Overlook. To ensure a comfortable visit, the creator recommends wearing water shoes due to rocks in the water and suggests taking water shuttles during the middle of the day to avoid long wait times at the beginning and end of the day.
