🚨 A Caribbean change is coming for Princess Cruises guests!
If you've sailed Princess Cruises in the Caribbean, you're probably familiar with Princess Cays. For many longtime Princess guests, it has been a familiar part of their Caribbean cruise experience.
Princess Cruises has confirmed that Princess Cays is being removed from some published itineraries and replaced with visits to RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay.
Both destinations are part of the Carnival Corporation family, but they were developed for different cruise lines. Princess Cays was specifically designed for Princess Cruises, while RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay has long been associated with Holland America Line and has also undergone significant recent enhancements.
I think many longtime Princess guests may find this to be a welcome change.
Princess Cays has always offered a pleasant beach day, but after many years, it has begun to feel a little tired. RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay offers a beautiful beach setting and has recently received significant updates, including new and upgraded dining and bar venues, beach amenities, loungers and daybeds, and improved transportation around the island.
More improvements are also underway, including upgraded beach facilities, cabanas and villas, a new beach club, and even pickleball courts!
🏖️ Could this be a fresh new Caribbean beach day for Princess cruisers?
If you're booked on a Princess Caribbean cruise and your itinerary currently includes Princess Cays, keep an eye on your itinerary. If you're a CGTA client, we're happy to review your sailing and let you know if anything has changed.
