Our third Atlantic crossing, and the second time on Island Princess (Other time to Alaska). Island Princess is very stable, even in high winds and moderate seas, so no problems with seasickness for me (Mrs. K. likes rough seas-go figure!).

Unfortunately, my allergies acted up, as did those of other passengers I spoke to. More than one crew member said that there was so much dust on the ship that it could no longer be cleaned thoroughly. Since I have never been bothered on a cruise before, I hope the drydock and re-fitting will ameliorate the situation for future cruisers.

Closing the Universal Lounge and having parties like the Captain's Circle in the dinky atrium was a BAD idea! Acoustics are terrible for an amplified band and announcers/speakers; too many people were jammed into too small a space and spread over four decks.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Oceanview

Cabin O5

Our cabin was exactly as we expected. Clean, comfortable and roomy enough for the two of us. Cabin steward, Ivan, was friendly, knowledgeable and always ready to comply with any requests we might make. We never heard a sound from the casino, one deck above us.
