Just wanted a relaxing cruise away from the hustle & bustle at home. We have visited these same islands before, but there’s always new entertainment onboard and we love playing in the casino. Also love the dining experience every evening.
We really enjoyed the Princess singers & dancers, and the comedian in the evening shows.
Also enjoyed the steel drum person in the Piazza and one of the ...
We chose this cruise to be with friends who were going. The service was pretty good. The room steward as well as wait staff was friendly, considerate and outgoing, with only a very few poor exceptions. Nothing really wowed us though. The stateroom was nice, the bed comfortable, the closet huge, but the bathroom was small and the shower was so miniscule, if you dropped your razor you had to step of ...
Wanted to get away! Found the ship very disappointing with everything, our cabin and the steward that was assigned to our room. The Buffett were disappointing, had frozen little shrimp INSTEAD of REAL shrimp! At the pool I had a problem with moving a chair, the attendants wouldn’t help me. 730 one morning there was construction going on for an hour. The front desk was called and I was told it ...
The ship was nice and clean. The staff was always helpful and pleasant.
We didn’t see shows or use the gym.
The food was just okay. The scrambled eggs tasted like powdered eggs. I’m probably the only one who ever looses weight on a cruise due to lack of good food choices. The fish was either over cooked & dry or over cooked & mushy. The beef Wellington was tuff but had a good flavor. ...
Wanted to see the new Panama Canal. Entertainment was good. Many options during the day and evenings. The food was good in the Resturant but service was very slow. Anytime dining was not managed well. Long lines/wait even though there were many available tables. The grill food was good but there again service was slow. Pizza was ok but not up to my standards. Crooners bar was my favorite - usually ...
our stwerd was awesome. He there when we needed something. Said hi in hall and talked with us.
The Buffet was okay. Lots of food from different countries. Not my kind of food so I just picked. Breakfast was the same old thing and the bakery was the same at breakfast. Lunch and dinner bakery was great. Main room dining was good.
Photographer they know their job. They do great shots. ...
Our cruise on the Island Princess should have been terrific. After all, we were visiting some interesting Caribbean and Central American ports, and going into the Panama Canal (a bucket list trip). But the cruise was a disappointment for many reasons. First, we were advised that there had been an outbreak of norovirus on the cruise that just ended, causing widespread diarrhea and vomiting. ...
Choose for Panama Canal experience. Like watching paint dry, lol. OK, it was interesting but I got bored standing around waiting to go through the locks so I went back and watched it on the cabin TV.
Good - Room size, B216. Overall entertainment. Hamburgers and Pizza.
Bad - Anytime dining. Bad joke. Wait staff was only good the last night. Had to arrive to the show 15-30 minutes ...
I am confined to a wheelchair and cannot stand. I was unable to find any wheelchair accessible excursions provided by the Island Princess at any port of call during the whole of this cruise. A few of the excursions were labelled as wheelchair accessible on the website and I had booked these prior to the cruise. Unfortunately, when on board, I was informed that while the location was wheelchair ...
Departure hour was delayed because a Norovirus outbreak in the last cruise. They had to clean the ship. Delayed was just a few hours and did not impact schedule at all. During the first days we had special cleaning instructions how to behave. No problems at all during our cruise.
Pick up at Miami airport was on time and excellent. Friendly crew were at the meeting point with a Princess Signed. ...
