If you can't stand paper drink straws take plastic straws with you. I picked up plastic straws during our first port stop.

Layout on Island Princess is quite a bit different than most Princess ships we've been on. Take some time to get acquainted with the layout.

There are lots of ongoing activities like progressive trivia, cruise olympics, etc. Get involved in these. You will meet lots of nice people.

It’s an older and smaller ship, so it’s not going to have all of the amenities that a larger and more modern cruise ship is going to have (i.e. large pool slides, rock-climbing wall, go-cart track, etc.). However, if you’re into a quiet luxury experience, this is the ship for you.

Best Coffee on the ship was at Good Spirits Bar on Plaza deck 5. Great espresso drinks, lattes, iced espresso

The Island Princess is an older and smaller ship that allows her to dock at ports that the bigger ships cannot dock at.

Think twice

Really study the Island Princess layout before you sail because it is very different. There are Secret decks in front on decks 10 and 11 and in the rear on decks 8 & I think 9. Great for coming in or out of port or other vista opportunities. If you are trying to decide between Princess and Celebrity, you can't go wrong with either. For me on these two ships at least, I enjoyed Princess a little more but wouldn't hesitate to sail on the Solstice again.

Just know you are on an old ship that needs some help

Do it. You have a beach traveling with you.

Dont. The ship has many operational problems - plumbing issues, cabins that were flooded multiple times by water and sewage, hallways that look like demolition derby took place there., Lotus pool often unusable, non-functioning public restrooms, food only so-so.

Sit back and enjoy everything about the ship.

Princess is becoming more like Carnival each day. No attention to high end cruises any longer.

Do not choose this ship. It is the OLDEST and SMALLEST ship Princess has. We were told that several times by the crew. Everything in it was breaking down constantly. The bathrooms, TV, buffet drink fountains. They need to retire this ship ASAP. The poor thing has had it.

Get ready to meet some fun people.

Be sure to check out The Sanctuary and their afternoon tea!

Don’t expect coffee before 6:00 am without paying for it even if you have a coffee card.
