I was a little nervous about this cruise - especially the ship - because of all the crap reviews I had read on cruise critic about it being beat up, old, blah blah blah.

Fake news!

I actually really liked this cruise. The Island is not brand new but it’s in decent shape. And it also has character, lots of places to escape with a good book, nooks and crannies etc. It did not seem crowded at all, much different from Royal and Regal. They’re both gorgeous ships but almost *too* bright and new and too crowded. Stupid parrot towel clips and unread hardcover books on every deck chair on those - obnoxious! But the Island never seemed that way.

Cabin Review

Balcony

C310 is all the way at the end of a row of balconies that extend further out on the edge of the ship. So it has a curved glass edge on one side. A little more exposed - ppl in the other balconies can see you a little easier. But the views from the balcony are better than other standard balcony rooms.

Port Reviews

Falmouth

This was great! Totally do it.

Cartagena (Colombia)

Fun! Tons of vendors, they are super pushy, just smile and say no thanks and keep it moving

Puerto Limon

Best excursion of the cruise. Highly recommend it. Wasnt very rough - almost wish there were more rapids
