spyro1952 Posted September 1, 2019 #26 Share Posted September 1, 2019 They are sharing PC with Carnival I know definitely through March 2020. I have no idea why but given northern Bahamas currently being obliterated it really doesn’t matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I did a search for the port schedule. According to the 2019 port schedule for Princess Cay 2 ships are scheduled to be at Princess Cay on the same day on occasion this fall as noted in the original post. Yes, agreed. We know that in 2019 it is scheduled that way because Carnival's private island is under renovation. But I'm talking about the past - where I have never seen it happen over the course of many years cruising with Princess.

Often don't get off ship there, and for sure wouldn't under these circumstances. For the last few years I've been skipping Princess Cays but now that there beginning to use it for 2 ships at a time I'll never go back (except for one more time just to see how bad it really is). The beach with all it's rocks is nothing to get excited about. The lunch is OK, for a picnic lunch. I'm sure Princess can sell it to the newbies for quite a few more years just the way it is before they realize how over hyped it really is. It does make for an enjoyable quiet day on the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival does not have a private island ... they USE HAL's Half Moon Cay ... that is under construction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamcruzin Posted September 2, 2019 #37 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I hate tendering for a beach day. May as well stay on the ship if there are 2 ships in port or better yet don't even book the itinerary. It's a shame that they can't build a dock like Royal Caribbean did for their private islands.

famski740 Posted September 2, 2019 #39 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Here is the schedule for Princess Cays for the foreseeable future. Cruises visiting Princess Cays: https://www.cleancruising.com.au/port.asp?port=BSPRI Carnival has been using Princess Cays for the last couple of years, on a single ship basis, since it purchased Princess. It is only using it with multiple ships while other Carnival sites are being updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing on a star Posted September 2, 2019 #41 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Anyone who thinks that a Carnival ship could be there on the same day should double check that specific Carnival itinerary. Maybe schedules have been tweak? Some of these port schedule pages could not be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted September 2, 2019 #42 Share Posted September 2, 2019 According to https://www.cruisetimetables.com/#destports Nov 25 has only Regal at PC and on Dec 5 only Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted September 2, 2019 #43 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Reading this thread got me concerned about my cruise in February, so I checked on our itinerary for that trip. Only Regal at PC, but in St Thomas there will be five ships when we arrive: Regal, Epic, Conquest, Caribbean and Allure of the Seas. This totals more than 21,000 PAX arriving in port on the same day! Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why we locked in a shore excursion because I didn't want to be wandering around looking for a piece of beach with 17,000 other pax 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we used to stay on-island, ships were much smaller, but still plentiful on Wednesdays, so we just laid low then. Oh and lucky us... going there early in the season this fall on the Crown and only us and two other smaller ships - total of maybe 4000 approx. Easy-peasy that. But when you visit STT on a Sunday, you can expect less crowding. Glad to see everyone is getting it now that PC will not have multiple ships with a Carnival one elbowing in for room on the same date.

PRINCESS Sweet Pea Posted September 8, 2019 #49 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I just checked for the cruise we are looking at, as well as for December 5th. The Carnival website shows the Pride at Princess Cays on Dec. 4th. Not sure I see any Carnival ship there on the 5th. I think the Carnival Ecstasy will be at their Private Island that week. I would be checking the Carnival schedules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Carnival's itinerary for that sailing, Carnival Ecstasy is scheduled to be at Half Moon Cay on Dec 5, 2019. It would be difficult for Ecstasy to be in Princess Cay at the same time. If I were you, I wouldn't rely on crew-center any more. Please double check your facts before correcting me. I double checked my information before I posted it.
