Frequently Asked Questions
At anchor. The ship drops the hook offshore and tenders run back and forth to a small landing at the southern tip of Eleuthera. On the crossing itself the water takes on that milky tint that announces the shallows.
The private port of call Princess Cruises developed in 1992 at the southern tip of Eleuthera, away from any village. Carnival, a sister line in the same group, also brings passengers here on some itineraries; it remains one of the least crowded of the Bahamian private islands.
About fifteen hectares along the ocean, with more than two kilometres of shoreline: loungers under the coconut palms, private cabanas for hire, an observation tower above the palm-thatch roofs, bars along the beach and a barbecue prepared on site by the ship's teams.
No, and that is a deliberate choice. The whole site stays intentionally simple: rather than a noisy water park, an organised beach where everyone sets their own pace between swimming, napping and eating.
The watersports hut rents kayaks, pedal boats, small sailboats and snorkelling gear. A glass-bottom boat trip lets you see the coral heads without getting wet. Swimmers have supervised zones, and the swell is generally modest on this side of the island, sheltered from the prevailing winds.
Yes. Princess Cays is not an artificial island: Eleuthera continues beyond the fence. A tour of a few hours reaches Rock Sound and Tarpum Bay, two settlements where stone churches stand beside salt-bleached wooden houses, with a Bahamian meal and Junkanoo music on the programme.
Yes. Pelican's Perch, a supervised play area with its wooden galleon set in the sand, keeps younger children busy while teenagers fight over the volleyball court. Lifeguards watch from their high chairs throughout the day.
Seven to eight hours on average: enough to combine an excursion inland on Eleuthera with time in the water on site.
The Bahamian dollar, at par with the US dollar, and English. Bars are settled with the cabin card as on board, but bring US cash for the craft market, which is separate from the ship's counters.
Tenders leave early and without reservations: aim for the start of the morning for the best shaded spots. Book a cabana or bungalow before the cruise, as inventory disappears fast. And bring water shoes for the coral areas.
