why arent there more excursions in princess cays?

[PA8880]

Leaving for the caribbean in 5 days - to Cozumel, Princess Cays, Grand Cayman and Honduras. Wondering why more excursions weren't offered? I feel like the excursions offered by Princess were extremely limited. No Jetskis, parasailing, nothing? It seems like it was just beaches and tours :-/

Yep, just the beach, snorkeling, or a tour of Eluthra. Don't know why, just know it is what it is.

There are a lot of beach related activities that are right there. It is not necessary to arrange so many excursions. It is a nice relaxing beach day and we enjoyed it on our last cruise.

Princess Cays is on the southern tip of Eleuthera...have you ever been to Eleuthera? We have, twice. Entertainment there is pretty much of your own making. The island is over 100 miles long, with basically one narrow, twisty road from one end to the other. We've never made it to the far southern tip...the roads are really bad and there are no facilities, no population. People go to Eleuthera for quiet and unspoiled beaches, and to bonefish; rarely have we even encountered another person on whatever beach we're on. Anyone providing activities would be providing them just for Princess passengers...not sure it would be economically feasible, due to the initial outlay of expenses.

All Princess Cay is meant to be is a beach day and water activities. There are no tours to any sights that I know of. I've been there enough that I don't even want to get off the ship when we go in March.

We don't get off the ship anymore. It is so quiet and relaxing on board. My husband has the hot tub to himself and I have blessed silence near him.:)

Jetskis, parasailing, etc are considered too dangerous to be offered at any port including Princess Cays. Think lawsuits.

Other then the Banana boat ride there are no motorized water sports at PC.

It's not a very exiting place, in my opinion.

That's why I enjoy it. Very laid backed and relaxed.

Both RCI & NCL offer all of these activities at Coco Cay & GSC through their port agent (contractor) that operates their island facilities.

Probably because they can't always tender in. Lately when it has been on our IT. We weren't able to get there.:(

 

It would be a big headache to cancel all the excursions.

I assume you are referring to Princess Excursions because waverunners and parasailing are offered privately not through Princess on many of the beaches on many different islands. I usually rent the waverunners when we dock in St Maarten. They are also available on Sapphire Beach in St. Thomas.

LOVE Princess Cays, and sorry there is no equivelant stop on Mexican Riveria. A relaxing beach day,, on nice lounges, with no beach beggers.. plus lunch is right there!

[Clutterlady]

We really enjoy Princess Cays. Nice relaxing beach day to either start or end your cruise......enjoy:)

[stoneharborlady]

I love Princess Cays, dont think I would tire of it too quickly, and I love the peace and quiet it offers. I guess some would love waverunners, and parasailing, but that would cause lots of noise, and I am happy to do without them.
