Embarkation was smooth and well organized. The ports we visited were a real eye opener of how third world countries really live. The tours were well organized. Aruba was very interesting, but when they tried to charge to use the restroom it was ridiculous since the bathroom was filthy with no blow dryer or paper towels. The rest of the ports, Cartagena, Puntarenas, San Juan Del Sur, Cabo San Lucas (favorite port where went horseback riding on beach) were all interesting. The ship the Island Princess wasn't to Princess's standards in our opinion. The ships design at best is cramped, passage ways snake there way from bow to stern. The International Cafe has been removed to add new cabins and you know longer have the unblocked access to walk around the full ship. I did notice a sewage smell at some of the overhead hall air vents which was reported, but never rectified.

The disembarkation out of Vancouver, BC was very smooth and well organized.
