Princess Cays open?

[Iceman02]

Thanks to another CC'er I just checked my itineray for Jan22 Caribb Princess and it shows a change back to Princess Cay from San Juan. Have not received any other info from Princess. Anyone know if this is accurate and not just a glitch. Would certainly rather enjoy a beach day in the sun than an evening in San Juan.

Iceman, I just checked our itinerary for same cruise, and it has indeed been changed back to Princes Cays on the final day.

 

I think I will call Princess and ask if the information is accurate. I'll report back later.

Thanks Chris.....Its worth an umbrella topped rum drink if you can confirm that

The January 22 voyage on CP will sail the original itinerary: 2 days at sea, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, at sea, Princess Cays.

Princess Cays was indeed listed in our itinerary. Never checked this part of our cruise personalizer before so I couldn't tell you whether that was there before today.

 

But if you go "Plan Your Voyage" on Princess.com and select the Caribbean itinerary in Jan, you won't see Princess Cays listed.

 

If anyone has called Princess, please let us know. Thanks.

[cruzinchris]

I DID call Princess to confirm.

I am on the Caribbean Princess sailing tomorrow 1/14/05. After reading the above, I checked the personalizer and see that we will also be going to Princess Cays on Friday. Personalizer originally had San Juan in the itinerary. Good news for us we really liked Princess Cays on a previous cruise.

This is great news!

There's been so much back & forth on this topic that a part of me can hardly believe it's true until someone comes back and says they actually stepped foot on the island!

[Colo Cruiser]

I hope its true. :)

[TxGal]

This is great news! We're on Star Princess 1/23 and are looking forward to Princess Cays.

[kpauley]

I hope you January cruisers make it to Princess Cays. I really was beginning to think we wouldn't make it there in March - still may not. I guess I'll be watching Bridge cams next week to see where the ships are.

Our January 29th Dawn Princess cruise had changed from Princess Cays to Nassau. Looking at it again today, it has changed back to Princess Cays.

 

Is this too good to be true?

 

We'll find out in a couple of weeks.

[judygolfing]

I also just talked to Princess and they were notified today that Princess Cay is open again.

[iluvcruzin]

That's good to hear. I called on Monday and was told that maybe we will go and maybe we won't. Not much help. I hope they do as I certainly don't want to go to Nassau.

[Gaprofitt]

I'll give a report of it once we get back from our cruise.

our sun princess 1/18 sailing is also going to princess cays now...nassau is off the itinerary...hooray!!

Since this will be the first time I'll be going to Princess Cays, what kind of stuff should I know before I go?

 

I know soda cards are not usable on the Cays, do we have to buy all our refreshments/foods on the Cays? What is free and what is not? We are travelling with 4 small children (5, 3, 2.5, 10M) and we need to be prepared!

 

Are there tents/shades available? Do we have to rent it or reserve it ahead of time?

 

TIA.

[RGaitherNM]

Hi, Nancy! I'm looking forward to the Princess Cay stop. I hope that the original reservations for a cabana that we made will still hold. While I'm looking forward to the beach, I'm still also looking forward to a bit of shade. I'd never been to Nassau, but I'm quite pleased to have the day at leisure in PC.

 

See you on board!

Woo Hoo - Princess Cays is open again!

 

You purchase your drinks. The bbq buffet is free!!

[TorontoTL]

I hope it's true, I've checked the cruise personalizer and now see that for our sailing Jan 29/05 that Princess Cays is indeed back on the itinerary. Hopefully if this is true ther were able to get it back in good shape, I would hate to see that all the beautiful plants and trees are all severely damaged or gone....:( .

[JudyOh]

I have a client on the Caribbean Princess sailing today, Wed received a fax from Princess saying they were going to San Juan instead of Princess Cays, yesterday received a fax saying they were going to Princess Cays!!;)

[Coral]

Hopefully if this is true ther were able to get it back in good shape, I would hate to see that all the beautiful plants and trees are all severely damaged or gone....:( .

 

I have no doubt all the palm trees are newly planted. Enjoy your cruise!

Kroooz cams shows the Star Princess at sea today which would be the day she would be in Princess Cays.

 

Hopefully, next week for all you 1/16 Star cruisers.

[Rustynail]

Yippee!!!!!!!!

Iceman - thanks for sharing the great news!:D

[mizsuzannah]

Very cool news!!!! You see dis: Ever-ting cooooooool mon!!!! :D

 

This makes me happy...I didn't want to go to San Juan or Nassau and I really wanted the Cay for my daughter who has a dream about swimming in the Bahamas...now her dream comes true!

 

I am booked for the 1/28 sailing on the Sun and scheduled for the stop at Princess Cays for Feb. 6. I have been watching the personaliser and it never did change to anything else...it has always read Princess Cays and so I was watching these threads closely for news, and just planning for a "mystery" port.

 

Hope it works out for everyone! :)
