Ports of Call: Princess Cays in the Bahamas

Princess Cays is a private island stop located on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. Owned by Princess Cruises, this 40-acre beach port is a popular stop for cruises from Princess, Carnival, and Holland America ships.  Princess Cays is a tender port, meaning passengers are ferried from the cruise ship to the island in smaller boats, and it takes 20 minutes each way. The Sea Breeze Grill, operated by cruise line staff, serves typical beach barbecue food. The menu included hot dogs, hamburgers, grilled chicken, fish, ribs,  various sides, fruit, and cookies. This complimentary BBQ lunch buffet is provided by the cruise line, but it's only available during a set time.  What to Do Here: Beach Day : Enjoy a beach day on the island's white-sand shores.  Soft sand and clear water on Princess Cays Snorkel : Bring your own gear for free snorkeling. The waters around Princess Cays have lots of marine life, including stingrays, flounder, trumpet fish, conch, and other tropical fish.
