Sea Legs Posted April 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2022 What is there to do at the beach on Princess Cays? Are the paddle boats free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted April 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) This is Carnival - nothing- lol. The big paddle bikes, floats, etc. should be listed under excursions for your sailing, along with some other excursions they had when we were there in January.

Rare Saint Greg Posted April 21, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I accidentally searched for princess cats. I don’t recommend it. Anyway. This is princess but I bet the prices are the same. https://www.princess.com/ports-excursions/princess-cays-bahamas-excursions/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BasicSailor Posted April 21, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Enjoy the ocean, take a nap. Get something to eat, yummy. Take another nap, get in the water.😁 You're on a cruise, doesn't really matter what you do 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowogo Posted April 25, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Everything except the uncovered beach chairs and the buffet dining is an extra charge. And While they have a towel booth, I recommend you bring your own towels so you aren’t stuck waiting on a delivery from the ship. The coastal cruise is cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruisinCrow Posted May 26, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I read the drink package doesn't cover drinks at Princess Cays. Do you need cash or can you charge them on your sail card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The retreat is staffed from the boat, just not plugged into Carnival drink packages 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowogo Posted May 27, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Water, tea, the buffets on island, and uncovered beach chairs are all that is free. With that said, the Coastal cruise was cool and uses the same boat as the glass bottom boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elklemi Posted May 27, 2022 #9 Share Posted May 27, 2022 You can walk outside the gates and there are some local stalls there for souvenirs and there is a small Bar (George') where you can enjoy local drinks at much lower price than bars inside the compound. Local Bahamian beer $4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted May 27, 2022 #10 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Cut up feet are free at Princess Cays - very rocky area - please wear crocs or something in the water. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there May 19 and there is no town but you walk outside the gate where you show your sign and sail card and there were stalls on both sides of the road and the bar, maybe fifty yards long. I am going back in 3 weeks and will go back. I talked to the locals who checked your sign and sail card and I could take my bottle beer back in and they were most friendly and the shops looked nice altho I was only interested in a Kalik. Enjoy your stay . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was about 10 minutes at the beginning where you could snokel to the deeper water if you wanted. They have masks and snorkels, but if you want you can use your own. Take water shoes, it is very rocky there even on the beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elklemi Posted September 29, 2023 #18 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I did not see anybody offering tours into town but if one was interested you could probably ask the guy who checks your S&S card at the gate and he may direct you or know who to contact.
