Review summary

The Island Princess was lovely. We enjoyed the Captain, crew, and other travelers. 15 days went by very quickly. The voice of Danial Oliver was wonderful. We listen to him often. This was a great cruise and we really had a fun time. We are looking forward to cruising with Princess again.

Tour guide took us to a shop for 20 minutes then back on the bus. Another 10 to 12 minute ride. Disappointing by spending 45 minutes in a museum which the time there was way to long. After a long museum visit we went to another very small jewelry shop for a free small plastic cup of beer and a drawing for a piece of jewelry. Really! Tour only had about 10 mins. to get back on the bus. Disappointment as we did not really walk around to see old town and have a bit of free time to enjoy this old town center. Next time we will take no tours.
