Island Princess Review

Additional details
I always find it interesting reading other reviews of the same sailing and wonder if indeed we took the same cruise. We've cruised almost 20 times on various lines and this was our 5th on Princess. I have to say Princess is my favorite. I'm sure it's not the best but it fits our lifestyle. We're 67 & 70 and like to be active tho not adventuresome. No ziplining here.
To begin, Princess always boards at noon. if you want to just walk on, come anytime after 12:30. Boarding is very efficient and unlike some other lines, you are allowed to go to your cabin and drop off any bags you may have brought onboard. I appreciate that.
The age group on Princess seems to be 50 and up. There are young people who I suspect are on their honeymoon. There are also children but they are well behaved and you never hear them screaming or running in the halls or throwing tantrums in the dining room. Entertainment is geared to the 60 & up group but I believe anyone can enjoy it.
Cabin Review
Oceanview
We were in cabin P510 on deck 5. The room has a large window with the bed underneath and 2 nightstands. A TV and frig with a vanity and 3 drawers with small shelves. The closet is open with a cabinet with a safe and lots of shelves. The bathroom has a small shower with showerhead only. there is 3 shelves over the sink and a large shelf under the sink. Shampoo, conditioner and lotion are provided but you may want to bring your own shampoo. Overall, there was plenty of closet and shelf space for everything. Suitcases fit under the bed. There is the vanity chair and a useless table which we put in the closet out of the way. It was typical oceanview room. It has a heavy comforter but we asked for a topsheet and blanket instead. 4 pillows are provided. Mattress was hard but was provided an eggcrate mattress. Not luxurious but sufficient.
