Half Moon Cay or Princess Cays, trying to decide

[BugsMomma]

I'm trying to decide on 2 cruises. One goes to Half Moon the other Princess Cay. Which would you pick and why? I've been to Half Moon Cay but never Princess Cay.

Both are beach days. HMC is a bit nicer, I think, but offer the same type of experience!

You may also want to ask for input on the Private Island Board.

 

Is the rest of the itinerary the same between the two cruises?

If you're into beaching, then HMC.

If you're into snorkeling, then PC.

 

That's my 2 cents worth.

If you're into snorkeling, then PC.

 

That's my 2 cents worth.

 

Agree with the above! (y)

Personal opinion HMC is way nicer than PC.

They are both beautiful, but I prefer HMC because PC is a little rocky and harder to get in and out. I’m 62 and in relatively good shape but there were a lot of people struggling especially getting out. The snorkeling is quite good once you get out there - there is a pier with a gazebo at the end and there are a LOT of beautiful fish and occasional stingrays out there! I always take my own snorkel and mask when we cruise but needed fins and a vest there. The current will tire you out pretty quickly. You really can’t go wrong with either island - I wish I was there now!! Are the 2 cruises itineraries the same other than the private islands?
