These are of the shopping area over the bridge to the mainland vendors. Its a fenced in area and you can not go past this fenced off area.

Prices are much cheaper here!

Thank you Ziggy!

Those pictures are wonderful. It looks like the other 6 Bungalows have been built and they have also added what looks like it might be a bar or drink stand.

I was told after you book online, when you arrive on the ship you choose which one you want, so I'm trying to figure out all the names and order they are in for bathroom purposes LOL

Info found on the net


May 10, 2008
"We were on Princess Cay on Saturday, May 10, 2008 and we rented a bungalow. The package included six priority tender passes. There are now 12 bungalows on the island. We did not get a golf cart ride to the bungalows, as there wasn't anybody at the Information Kiosk when we arrived. It is a about a 5 minute walk to the north of the dock.

Upon arrival at a hut near the bungalows, we were guided to our assigned bungalow, which was #5 Sunflower and introduced to the amenities and to our attendant, who also oversaw a few other bungalows. When we arrived, the air conditioner had already cooled down the bungalow, there were two pitchers of ice cold water, and the table inside was set and ready for lunch. Outside, there are two lounges on the porch and four more immediately in front of the porch. Our attendant, Carlos, brought a big tray of food for lunch at around 11:30 a.m. which included the meat for hamburgers, hot dogs, bbq ribs, bbq chicken, and grilled chicken breast; plus buns, condiments, and cole slaw.

While in our bungalow, Princess had cocktail waiters and waitresses walking around the island and they would occasionally stop by to take our drink orders. There was an extra charge for cocktails and soda, which is charged to your stateroom. I took a stroll while we there and I was able to pick up a glass of iced tea at the bbq line.

The shoreline near the bungalows is rocky and consists of the shallow reef that you can snorkel. It seems we spent more time snorkeling than at our bungalow, but it was nice knowing we had a safe place to keep our stuff and did not have the hassle of waiting in line for lunch. Also, it was a good place to take a break while snorkeling to have a drink and cool off in the air conditioning (but the ocean water did a good job of that too)."



"We had a bungalow on Princess Cays on the CB 5-11-08 cruise. There are now 12 bungalows available, not 6, so your chances are a little better now.

We got priority tender service, food brought to our bungalow by an attendant (for no extra charge), a golf cart ride to and from the bungalow area and all of the other amenities that were originally included. Be aware that the bars start closing down at 12:30 or so and the bartenders and servers are off the island by 1 p.m. as they have to get everything back to the ship before the tenders get too busy. That means pre-order the rest of your drinks EARLY so you won't be caught off guard when the attendants stop coming around for drink orders at around 1 p.m. After all, you've paid all that money, you may as well use the bungalow until you're forced to go back to the ship LOL!

It was well worth the money. We shared with another couple, which made it more affordable. I would highly recommend doing it this way. Plenty of room for 4!"

This is NOT good! Thanks for letting us know!

I think this depends on the port times Some stop there until 2pm others stay till 4pm. So this could have been a short port stay
