Amazing crew and staff.

We chose this cruise for the itinerary and to travel with Princess again after 7 years trying other lines. Our suite experience certainly made this trip excellent because we were treated royally. Kudos to staff in Sabatinis, select area of main dining room and room steward. Food was very good and we had no complaints. Buffet was often busy but perfect for a quick lunch or cup of tea. Coffee was ...

Good itinerary, some (but not all) good staff; aging ship well past retirement age

I had a solo full suite S6, aft-facing. A decent enough cabin, in need of some cleaning. Like all Princess ships, overall service quality has fallen over the years. I've sailed some others (Majestic and Enchanted) that seem to have recovered post-COVID; this one has not. Overall service is uneven, some crew really care, while others are excited about how soon their contract ends. It's not ...

Chose cruise for itinerary ( it does not stop in Russia) and after cruise scheduling- so far service excellent, cabin horrible constant noise ( they moved us last night to port side), quite a bit of Horizon Court food very chewy Mexican, pork; fruit very fresh, good variety but question quality- does not seem to be quality level of Discovery, Regal, or Enchanted ships;casino is very small, ...

Great itinerary and nice ship

This was a Baltic cruise to countries we’d always wanted to visit—Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Sweden and Denmark. The ports were all wonderful, and we enjoyed meeting the people in these countries and experiencing their culture. This relatively small ship, on which we’d sailed before, was perfect for making these stops without the hassle of long on and off waits. We thought the food and ...

More for destinations than the ship

We booked this as a "drop and go" back to backs more for the destinations than the ship. Some places in Norway we had been to before. We were very limited in cabins available and were in an ocean view cabin. It was acceptable once we got the room properly cleaned, aired and supplied. The window needed a good clean and it was more like being in an inside cabin as window was so filthy with scum ...

Fantastic itinerary let down by very poor service

Timing and a great itinerary leaving from Southampton made me choose The Island Princess. I came on it solo and am a ballroom dancer and was hoping to meet other like-minded people. Sadly I have to say I have been very very disappointed and what could have been a great cruise has come out, in my opinion, below all the other four cruise lines, Cunard, Fred Olsen, MSC and P&O, I have travelled ...

t I travel with my partner Janet. We chose this cruise for the itinerary. 33 days with ports in Iceland and Norway. The Island Princess seemed to be the perfect way to visit the northern ports and June the perfect season to do so. This is not the review I had hoped to write when we made the reservations. The disappointment was not with the itinerary, but the ship. No, not even the ship, but ...

This review is for the 33 day cruise, not just the part the CC system would recognize. I chose this cruise because it went to a much desired destination: Longyearbyen (Svalbard), an island north of the Arctic Circle belonging to Norway. I booked in February when I saw I could book a 33 day cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale to Southhampton to Norway and back to Southhampton. Not long after final ...

Princess cutbacks hurt

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Island Princess

10+ Cruises • Age 80s

This cruise was quite telling about the degree of cutbacks Princess is implementing trying to regain financial stability at the expense of decreasing the quality of goods and services provided. At first, it did not make too much of a difference in not having any stationary or writing instrument in the cabin but then the soap bars disappeared. Now with the new medallions for the medallion class ...

Worst Cruise I've Ever Been On - Do Not Book This Ship

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Island Princess

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

I booked this cruise because it went to Iceland. Little did I know that it was an "old" ship that had a myriad of problems and a staff that was clearly not putting the guest first. I've never been under house arrest, but I expect this was pretty close - wearing the tracking device, having no say in anything and having to just shut up and put up. From noise that kept me up at night (got my ...
