Bannister Island

[Lets Go Cruising]

Princess is offering a "Private Island Beach Break" that goes to Bannister Island. I've found some info on Bannister on the web & it looks nice. My concern is the size. It looks pretty small & I'm concerned it could get crowded. Can anyone provide any feedback?

I was there last April, it appears to be a man made island with granule type sand. Yes it is very small, but restrooms are clean and water is nice.

I just visited this island on Monday Nov 6th with Carnival Cruise Line, the island is very small, but the restrooms are decent, not much to do there, we did the beach break in Cozumel and it was wonderful compared to this. If you just want to go to the beach and rest it is nice. They have massage tables but only one at a time, the food is good but don't really offer anything exotic, (chick strips, hot dogs, and the local beans & rice). A tiny tiny bit of very expensive shopping and the drinks are more expensive than on the ship. I love the beach but the rest of my party doesn't and they were not the happiest, it is pricey for what you get, but the tender guides said it had to do with all the gas it takes to get people to where they are going as it is a tender port only. We did see dolphins, that was nice, and the tiniest of hermit crabs everywhere.
