We were on the Caribbean Princess last week and had bungalow #6 while at Princess Cays.
First thing, they are in the process of building 10 more of these. Five next to the six they have now and five on the other side of the island (to the right when you get off the tenders).
Our bungalow experience:
We were assigned two people for setting up inside table, chairs, towls, ice/water, etc.
We had two Princess waiters from 9:00 until 1:30. They had to help with island cleanup, but had all our drink orders within five minutes.
Lunch - they do it family style and bring covered trays with tons of food.
Shower on side of building and the other side had a water spicket for just washing off your feet.
Beach umbrella that four chairs could sit under - which was nice when we had a quick 5 minute drizzle.
A/C was wonderful!
Private stretch of beach with some excellent layout chairs on water / rock edge.
Now the bad part - BUG BITES!
They do provide Off spary and lotion, but almost everyone in our group had 50+ bites within two hours. My wife and nephew had over 200 and she was on the beach 90% of the time.
Long walk to the bathroom.
Overall the family really enjoyed it. I'm not sure we would go back as it has been several days and my wife and nephew are still covered with bites.
FYI - I have since learned the bungalow area is pretty much the only problem area for bug bites and have been told by Princess this is seasonal and happens right before it rains. It did rain on us for a few minutes about 90 minutes after arriving and then again a few minutes before we left. Thus, I am prone to believe them.
