I've been there twice-and will be there again in January-I always get a cabana. It's about $200. You get on the first tender of the day, it comes with drinks, snacks, floating mats and snorkels. The inside is air conditioned. At lunchtime we fill our plates and eat at the table inside, nice and cool, no flies. Totally worth 200 bucks. The sanctuary part is just a no kid zone, the cabanas are all the same.
Thank you for sharing!
Happy Cruising..I'm right behind you in March 2023.
Where do I find this?
@@jvans43829 the cabana rental? It will be on the shore excursions page of the website. The price has doubled since I wrote this comment, though.
I would not be happy that the drink package doesn’t transfer to island. We were just at Perfect Day and it was so convenient getting our drinks.
It's weird that you can't use the drink package on PC on Carnival. You can use the drink package on PC when you're sailing Princess. Obviously all owned by the same corporation, so it's confusing why the difference.
I’m very surprised carnival hasn’t made a pier big enough for their own ships.
That's not a "fail", that's taking care of yourself. You obviously needed the sleep! That's weird that you can't use your drink package at Princess Cays! Even with the mic problems this was a great vlog- hit all the highlights and gave us a good overview of the day to day vibe on the ship.
ITS OK...HALFMOON CAY IS FAR BETTER.
Heaven
This video just came up....I was on that cruise and first saw you at the bar on Princess Cays where the band was playing. And saw you again later on the cruise. I rented the sailboat and it was $55 for an hour. This was my first cruise and an interesting experience.
Love this 6-12 minute video format! Such a great length and you pack a lot in! And I get you - I've done a lot of those accidental long naps before!
Thank you for saying that Guys Burgers are mid-tier!!! I’ve seen so many TH-camrs and Carnival regulars saying that Guys is amazing and the one time I ate it, I just couldn’t see why the hype was so big. I feel seen! Thanks for all your amazing vids.
I'm from Chicago. I agree guys burgers are better than fast food but still mediocre. 🤣🤣
Sort of how I felt about In-n-Out Burgers.
Yeah, I don’t get the hype about those burgers.
5:06 stay on the ship 🤣😂🤣
The private island seems pretty good. Lots of different areas to utilize. You could just enjoy the beach 🏖️ and have lunch. I'm not sure if you mentioned any pools ( like they have at CV). The beach looks decent.
OMG I did the same thing right before my Alaska cruise last month. I didn't sleep for 2 days before my cruise because of all the stress of making sure we had everything set, early flight, bad hotel room the night before the cruise, etc. So after dinner on my first night on the cruise, I crashed (around 7pm) until midnight or so just like you did LOL.
If you miss your early dining times on Carnival you can show up at late dining and they will seat you. I’ve done it a couple of times. Last time on the Conquest 3weeks ago.
I've never had a bad day at Princess Cay. It's very simple compared to something like Perfect day at Coco Cay which is it's own animal, but if you love a beach day like we do, it's perfect. It's very comparable to Half Moon Cay...in fact they're close enough that if another ship is at Half Moon while you're at PC you can see that ship, and vice versa. If you sail to Princess Cay with Princess you can use your drink package on shore. Not sure why it's different for Princess vs Carnival but this difference has existed for many years.
Half Moon Cay is one of my favorites. Honestly Princess Cays looks like it may need a bit of sprucing up. Buffet could be a little better too.
half moon Cay is heaven
It honestly looks like they’ve updated princess cay since my last visit and that still doesn’t say much. In 2018, I only remember seeing a few tourist shops off to the side, the cookout/buffet area, and the little “tower” you climb for the view.
Nice video of Princess Cay Island. I'm not a fan of tendering, I get a splitting headache with all that "bobbing around" of the boat waiting for people to board Lol!!
As far as children running amok and knocking on doors, that is unacceptable for that time of the night, never mind at all! Why can Carnival not look at the footage for that particular incident and charge them with a hefty fine. Unacceptable that Carnival does not take control of these kinda situations.
That's a blast from the past.. I was on the Conquest for her Preview back in 2002
Be careful missing so much sleep J! Enjoying your content as always ☺️
Our last cruise, about 3 weeks ago, the people next door started partying at 2am 5 out of 7 days, VERY LOUDLY! Not much you can do about it unless you call security sadly.
Glad the club is enforcing the no drinks on dance floor they didn't on Mardi Gras last June and it was a mess.
Yea, I don’t know why this was recommended to me but I’m grateful😊 (got that West of 441 in Palm Beach County accent)
I am loving this cruise, as we count down to 10 days on the Carnival Legend! I wish and hope I will run into you one day, love the vlogs and videos! Keep up the Great Content 😊😊😊 #theshiplife #jthenomad
Thanks again for the update. Looking forward to tomorrow's video.
I enjoyed video! Thanks for sharing 🛳🛳
OMG! Even if you have the drink package, you have to buy drinks on their island??? That's BS!
Yep, that’s what I said, so I stayed less than 2 hours. It is, however, a beautiful part of the island. But let’s face it, if you bought the Cheers package, you’re dreaming of sitting on the beach sipping pina coladas and margaritas, and they were more expensive on Princess Cay than on the ship and NOT included in the Cheers package. WTH. I’ll never return to Princess Cay; I’ll just look at it from the ship. And just getting there by tender and the buffet lines - forget about it!😝
I almost never get to be one of your early viewers this is cool. Wow missing the embarkarion party is rough! I've done that before worried about missing a flight. Bummer! 🤭 But ya live and learn. Have a wonderful time Jay! I'm enjoying your videos. ❤️
We're booked for Jan ..been to princess cay..& prob won't get off this time..not much there, & on Aug cruise they ran out of food on isl ,lines to get tender were awful & rocks in water everywhere!
The carnival " tall drink" is a rip off 6 oz drink w 2 cups of ice..just get a reg drink on isl for $10 vs $20.
I love half-moon Kay we got a cabana and it was well worth it the drinks and service was great you get your own waiter to get you what ever you want no need to get up for drinks.
Visited Princess Cays in September, it was just ok. Half Moon Cay is much better.
They better start using those life boats 🚢 🤣
Beautiful island
You’re a “commoner” on this trip, but remember, you did pay only $13 a day. 😎
Why do they not accept drink package on island? That is a major deal breaker.
You can go where the locals are selling thing if you go right where you get off the tender
How does a company spend millions making their own island , to not fit their boats lol. That’s like building your dream house without doors or windows. Can’t use it but boy it looks good.
I sailed on RCCL way back in 2005, and when we stopped at Coco Cay, long before it was refurbished to Perfect Day at Coco Cay, we had to take tenders too as there was no dock for the ships. Guessing that Carnival's private island is in need of refurbishment too.
@everyday How about not wanting to ruin the pristine waters?Which are not deep enough for big ships.
Hey, J. It's truly odd that you ended up at Princess Cay (pronounced "key") which is actually Princess's private island, not Carnival's. But inasmuch as Princess is part of CCL corporation, and none of Princess' ships will be back to Florida for Caribbean season until later this month, I guess Carnival occasionally uses it. That area reserved for "The Sanctuary" refers to the daily or half-day passes that Princess passengers can purchase to sit in the adults only, private area of their ships called "The Sanctuary" and they have also set aside an area on Princess Cay. The clamshells, at least on Princess, are actually pretty affordable, renting for $40 for the entire day, which considering 2 people on loungers can comfortably fit it in there (and we've even squeezed in another person or two on towels on the sand), is not a bad deal. I personally usually just wait until someone with one near me gets ready to leave and offers me theirs for free. Happens all the time. LOL. BTW, those Carnival buffets, both on the Cay and on the ship, looked disgusting -- true slop. Princess's buffet on the island is definitely better -- with a huge table of fresh tropical and other fruits.
I believe Princess cruises are under the Carnival umbrella just as Holland America is.
On princess you’re drink package is included on the island which is great
Princess card, I've heard, work on Princess Cay, for Half Moon Cay I heard Hollands card works. The lines don't share islands for that stuff.
1 boat wow that’s crazy lol
Princess Cayes is a nice spot, great beach to the right of the harbour. Just be careful with the food. We were there in September. Got a hamburger, it was raw in the middle, threw it out and ate when we got back in the ship.
The cruise line private islands uses the same food and cooks off the ships,
@@evelynmckenzie5269 it comes from the ship but burgers are not guys and you still need to practice caution as for conditions and last time the burgers were still raw in the midfle
JTN, thanks for sharing!
anybody else get to 3:38 and suddenly lose track of what my man was talkin about?
I wanted to take a cruise, but I don’t eat pizza, hamburgers, and hotdogs, on the normal in my regular life. And since they ration water…. I’m good
Gees. I thought they had much more choices to eat on a cruise and can't you always bring your own water or buy a water package from the ship?
I hope the buffet on the island isn’t the same buffet from the ship..one of the main issues I have with carnival cruises is the nubby buffet food
Still a great video!
I go Jan 28th yes
Personally, I thought Princess Cay was a disappointment because I had the Cheers package and found out that the Cheers package was NOT applicable. That sucked,
I don’t mean to compare coco Kay on Royal but the drink package is included
I was there yesterday also
Hey Jay, did you get your luggage? Yesterday's vlog said your luggage hasn't arrived at time of filming. Hope it wasn't a repeat of VV Scarlet Lady again!
I just went here a week ago with princess and the drink package was included on the island. I wonder if they changed the policy or it’s just different between lines.
Watch out for the scorpions I got bit by a scorpions on that damn Island
Go to the Alchemy bar and ask for a Pistachio Martini. (Not on the menu)
You’re welcome
You changed your shirt!
Those burgers looked legit to me lol. What level and type of accommodation would you recommend for a couple going on their 1st cruise?
It depends how much you can spend, but the balconies are so much better than the inside cabins, particularly if you are sailing on the tropics.
@@nataliajimenez1870 thank you! Yeah I was leaning towards a balcony. Unfortunately me and the wife separated so now I’m looking into a singles cruise after I refund the Mexico cruise I booked for us
Yeah cocoay is wayyyyyy better lol
What time is lunch and can u get 2nds
I might be taking a Conquest Cruise, is there anything that was interesting that happened on the ship I might have to look out for?
Does the island take credit card and cash?
Can I be your travel bud😢
I’m glad my cruise was canceled due to Covid this seems boring
So attempting to bringing alcohol was a thing. Any thoughts on the matter?
Hey, what video editor are you using?
It's not that great of a place. Grand Truk is a better place to swim and see fish.
Where is your shirt? This can set a trend for a bunch of shirtless men. Some already don’t know how to dress. You are an INFLUENCER. 😳. Thanks?
So if you want to have a body like that that you do not have to wear a shirt to hide all the fat
You have to work out and exercise I guess he can influence people to exercise more in order to look that good
It’s not as pretty as Cococay
