We took the Emerald Princess for a 7 night Western Caribbean - the following a are a few highlights of our port activities:

Princess Cays: We have been on Princess previously and have done everything that Princess Cays has to offer. It is beautiful, and we enjoy the beach. However, this time we wanted something a little more. We saw that there is a road directly behind the First Aid station - we went through the gate (you have to show your ship card) and went for a jog. This road comes to a dead end and we went to the right. We jogged a bit further, past some abandoned buildings, and the road dead ended into a magnificent deserted beach! We had a full view of the ship, but we were literally the only two people on the beach. The water was great, the view was fabulous, and there were multiple seashells. I brought home 3 beautiful shells from this beach. It is about a 1-2 mile jog. We came back and enjoyed Princess Cays in the afternoon.

Ocho Rios: Ugh! We have been to Dunns River Falls previously and did not see any other excursions that fit our taste. We went shopping for a bit, but didn't feel safe. We returned to the ship and had a great day on the boat reading on our balcony. We won't do another sailing that includes this port. Read more
