If you're under 85 years old, don't board that ship

There is practically nothing to do on that ship. One good show in 14 days, boring violin music (sometimes) most of the time no music at all. Decent music on pool deck but all chairs reserved so no place to sit. ...

Not the best trip

Island Princess
