traveling on the Mariner April 07th and notice our first stop is the private island Princess Cay. With a name like that I am assuming that this is the same private Island that is owned by Princess Cruise lines. I know that Princess is know part of the Carnival Corp. Is Regent now a part of Carnival or does Regent have a special arrangement to stop at the Island??
thanks
Greg

Yes that is Princess's private island. Regent is not part of CCL corp, I think they just have a special arrangement with Princess. Its a great island, one of the better private cruise ship owned islands. Enjoy your great day.
And Greg there are no stupid questions on this board. If you are new to LCT welcome.
Have a wonderful cruise - love Mariner, wish we were going with you.

Regent "rents for the day" Princess Cay.
It really is a neat place with hundreds maybe thousands of beach chairs. Couple neat open air bars, couple vendor shops, and a food area.
Was there when both the Seven Seas Voyager and Seven Seas Mariner were there together. It was a fun day.

Greg, I checked the Cruise Calender for your dates and you are the only ship in port for your Princess Cays visit :) You also only have 2 ships in port with you for your St. Thomas visit and they are Princess ships which I think carry less passengers than the other mainstream lines.

Thanks for the clarification
Both my wife and I are looking forward to be at the Island with only 700 other passengers. The last time we stop at this Island was on one of Princess's larger ships and the number of passengers was much higher. The beach will look and feel deserted.What more can a person ask for sun, beach and a cool drink

Greg that was a great question! I am really excited to go to Princess Cay - sort of like being on a deserted island with a few other folks!

Greg: Welcome to LCT. The only dumb question is the one you are afraid to ask. I have asked more than my share of them. LCT members always seem to come up with answers.

Last year on our Mariner cruise only about half the people went to the island. We did spend less time there then is scheduled this year which probably had to do with so many people staying on board. We stayed on the ship and enjoyed a quiet lunch and some pool time.
