We chose this cruise for the itinerary. My husband wanted warm weather and was very interested in seeing the old locks of the Panama Canal. While we enjoyed the smaller size of the Island princess because nothing was ever very far we really missed the international cafe on other ships where you could sit in piazza and relax, The on board entertainment was very good and the crew while this was the island Princess first cruise out since the pandemic was helpful and wonderful. Few small glitches handled wonderfully . I am not a fan of the Bayou cafe to me it just doesn’t compare to Crown grill. But the rest of our party enjoyed it.

As for the ports Nicaragua was sadly removed ,

Costa Rica was beautiful and the sloth sanctuary was worth the trip. Skip the excursions in Huatulco as the best of that we took was truly awful instead spend the day on the beach at restaurant on the bay sipping margaritas. Cartagena the walled city was very interesting and worth the trip but be prepared for many street vendors.
