Our cruise on the Island Princess was very nice and we had fantastic sunny weather all the way until the last full day. Princess had a naturalist on board, who spotted animals and did mini lectures, which was nice. Our room was always clean, new towels, cookies at night, candy on pillows.

Some of the things we didn't like: the laundry rooms were in disrepair; SMOKING!!; commercialization of the ports was ridiculous and the onboard shopping thing was just nuts. We felt like Princess had it's hand in our pockets all the time! Let's face it, unless you have the bucks, this byline they go by 'escape completely' is unattainable. More ping pong tables would be an asset as all the teens tie them up all day long.

We also felt like we were very uninformed about how things went. We eventually figured it out, but maybe a little flyer 'new cruiser tips' would be good.

Cabin Review

Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin ME

We had a mini suite with balcony; B214. One big bed and a twin up (out of the ceiling) and a twin down. It was cramped when the bed was down, but all in all, was fine. Balcony was nice but we had smokers on either side and a CIGAR smoker below. P U Plenty of storage, quiet location, and close to the front so when they were looking for whales, out of our door, hang a left and outside you went.
