I really enjoy sailing with Princess, and the Island Princess is a beautiful ship to sail on. The dining rooms are beautiful and the food is delicious. I really enjoyed having a late night snack in the Horizon Court at the bow of the ship watching us sail into the sunset.
When we arrived at Glacier Bay Captain Manfuso maneuvered the ship close to Marjorie Glacier and we were able to see a lot ...
We had a wonderful time on the 6-day Pacific Wine Coastal on Island Princess, Los Angeles to Vancouver. I had read the posts on the refurb and it took a little bit to maneuver the ship but I never found it annoying. You just adjust.
We did early traditional dining, which was at 5:15 p.m. (we signed up for 5:45 but it ended up being earlier). We normally don’t even get home from work until ...
We chose this cruise for having an overall length of one week, including travel to and from our city. This is our first trip on the Island Princess. Other factors were being on a Princess ship and being reasonably priced. This was a week long getaway, not an annual family vacation. We booked our air travel with EZair, which also includes the transfers from airport to pier. All ticketing and ...
We live in Georgia. We booked this cruise for a halfway meeting point with friends from Hawaii who are also frequent cruisers, and to make a port call in Oregon, a state we have never visited before. This is our 30th cruise overall, 25th on Princess. We were successful in our first goal, disappointed in the second.
We booked our air travel through Princess EZ Air and flew without incident from ...
We have been on many cruises with 10 different lines, with about half on Princess (30+). I'll admit this review is biased. Having plenty of advance warning about the "wonderful" changes Princess had done to the Island Princess, I was predisposed not to like them. We had cruised several times before on both Island and Coral Princess (sister ship) and they were among our favorite ships. Coral ...
Firstly, I agree with the many in they have ruined Island Princess with the recent updates. The additional cabins block off the Promenade deck, the additional plating on the rear makes it look almost ugly and the loss of Vista lounge is a big shame. That said the ship traveled smoothly and rode the waves very well. The crew were particularly good and well organised. Dining was first rate and the ...
We spent a 10 day tour including Aruba, Cartagena, Panama (& Canal), Costa Rica and Jamaica on this ship and loved it. We had a cabin on Baja toward the front and didn't have any issues with like we were on rough waters. Having a Cajun food option on this cruise ship was a definite plus. Nice touch. The dining room was quite nice and the staff was great. Overall we enjoyed the trip and can't ...
We wanted to experience sailing through the Panama Canal and experience what all the hype of cruising was all about. It was more a 2.5 stars for me.
The good: Callie Smith,the entertainment CRUISE DIRECTOR was exceptional and the general ship staff were pleasant and hardworking. There was plenty of choice at the buffet everyday. The dining room had a few outstanding dishes: Baked Alaska, Pork ...
> Getting on and off the ship was a breeze! The crew was wonderful! > Much of the entertainment included 2 new production shows I had not seen before! They were Wonderful! > Shore excursions are a little pricey, but there is comfort in knowing you are with an approved excursion company. Carteghena was the exception. Awful 5 hour day with no BIO break or water until the last 30 minutes! Very ...
Looking for a relaxing two weeks to help hasten my wife's recovery following her recent major cancer surgery, we decided to spring for a suite, looking forward to a tub and a chaise, as promised to suite passengers by Princess. Not having been disappointed in the past (11 cruises) by Princess, we let them select our suite. Wow, what mistake!!
They put us in Pr727, one of the newly-created ...
