We booked this cruise as soon as we became aware of it through mail advertizing. For such a long cruise it met most of our expectations. The staff and crew especially Captain Tuvo were fantastic. The itinerary was the primary reason for booking this cruise. It had three bucket list destinations and all were great experiences.
The down side to this cruise was the ship. We had been on this ...
In 2025 we cruised on HAL Amsterdam for 60 days as half of the Grand World Cruise and booked through Travels with Alan. We booked this 60 day cruise through Alan, anticipating that it would be somewhat similar to the Amsterdam cruise in that this was a major cruise circumnavigating South America. Once aboard we quickly learned that unbeknownst to us (and the other 196 "Alan" group) Princess had ...
As my husband is in a wheelchair it is necessary to find longer cruises with less air travel. This 60 day cruise was perfect. The staff was exceptionally good at making this cruise a really fun experience for us. i can not think of anything that would have improved our cruise. Congratulations princess. From the first moment every staff member was cheerful, helpful and courteous. The quitar ...
Island Princess refurbished since last on it, very elegant. Spa amazing. Food fine, not up to previous quality, especially in over-salted Buffet. Internet sporadic and unreliable entire voyage. Itinerary was fabulous, but Ship went into too many Container Ports. Typically in unsafe areas of city w/few to no taxis nor tour offerings. Passengers should take ship excursions rather than go off ...
Would not likely sail with Princess again. They have really gone downhill in terms of service, excursions and food. The trip was circumnavigating South America for 60 days. The ports seemed to be chosen based on cheap moorage - many had nothing of interest. Others were miles from the nearest city of interest. We had at least three port changes with no compensation The excursions were wildly ...
Never been to South America before, the price was right for the cruise, and we looked forward to 60 days of comfortable living whilst visiting new places and being entertained along the way.
The organization of boarding the ship in Fort Lauderdale was chaotic - transferring passengers from the waiting areas to the ship. The people in charge didn't seem to know what they were doing.
We had ...
I should start this review telling you a bit about me. At home I am pretty active. I enjoy doing a lot of different things and like trying different things. I do bicycle a lot and play volleyball. When cruising I like doing Trivia, building things for egg drops and scrape heap boats. I like bean bag toss or what ever else we might toss. The penguin toss was very popular, I like putt putt golf but ...
We had never sailed with Princess Cruises before and chose this cruise because of the itinerary. Unfortunately, we were not very happy with the Island Princess.
For the 60 day cruise we booked a Premium Suite on Baja deck. We wanted to be comfortable during the 60 days and also wanted a balcony from which we could also see the views from the back of the ship. The stateroom B745, which we chose, ...
We have cruised a lot in the last 2 years. Princess is our go-to cruise line. The Island Princess only has one major fault - they closed off the promenade deck at the back to add more cabins, so it's not possible to walk all the way around deck 7.
The shows that we went to were mostly very, very good and interesting (a harmonica player that blew us away (oops, bad pun) and the production shows ...
We went on this cruise to satisfy bucket list items. We enjoyed the cruise for its relaxation effect of doing things at our own pace, otherwise the cruise was mediocre. The food in the buffet and the dining rooms were repetitive, boring and never hot. They ran out of bananas often, and towards the end, other fresh fruits. Service times in the dining rooms were long in between courses at ...
