Review summary

I have cruised  on the Island Princess before.  It was very obvious how greedy the cruise business is getting.  The food selection at the buffet was  minimal.  I had told the Sartins , who traveled with us,  not to bring Q-tips and cotton balls. Got to our cabin and  had neither of either.  Will not take this ship, and seriously will think twice about Princess Cruises.

Robert was good at the room. Ceaser was to keep us warm. Even gave us table cloths to keep us warm.. The dining room is always too cold.

Sorry you had a somewhat negative experience.  I've never received tips and cotton balls on a ship.  If it was a Princess sanctioned excursion, they should have credited your account if the cancellation was on them.

I hope the 3 out 5 rating was not just because they didn't have Q-Tips and cotton balls.
