TealK Posted August 8, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Anyone have insight or advice for Princess Cays? The excursions I was looking at have booked up. I've read conflicting information about snorkeling right off the beach. We are packing our own gear since the rental packages are sold out.

AZ Ocean Lover Posted August 8, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 8, 2017 You can snorkel right off the beach (when getting off the tender go to the left). It's not remarkable and a lot of people. We look at PC as a quick beach day and then head back to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezedr Posted August 8, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Not great snorkeling and not a place where an excursion is necessary. Really just a private beach to chill out on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted August 8, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Snorkeling at Princess Cays isn't great. But if you have your own gear, you might as well see for yourself. We haven't bothered taking ours on our last few cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted August 8, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Not great snorkeling and not a place where an excursion is necessary. Really just a private beach to chill out on. Ditto above! Still, It really is good for a beach day.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loggra Posted August 8, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 8, 2017 We are on the Feb 6, 2018 sailing and no emails from Princess yet on the issues they are having. Does anyone know anything about Cristobel? I will check the other board to check also! Thanks, Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrstmaxx Posted August 8, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 8, 2017 We thought the snorkeling was great - saw tons of fish and felt like we were in an aquarium. We did a back2back in March 2016 and saw lots of fish both times and not really a lot of people. Didn't feel crowded at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted August 8, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Looking forward to our first visit there next year The clamshell we rented was worth it. Didn't have a problem finding a shade after a quick dip in the beach. Lunch served was nice too. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabaster Cruiser Posted August 8, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Snorkel around the pavilion on the left. People feed the fish there. From there continue past pavilion and there is a small shelf reef area that can be entertaining. Sent from my VK700 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Itchy&Scratchy Posted August 10, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Must wear water shoes!!!!!!! The sharp rocks on the beach and in the water cut my feet, and sliced my 4 year old kid's foot open. It was pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
