Cruise was good, but not our best one. Boat was in need of printing, particularly on our balcony .

Review summary

We would not choose the Island Princess again. Didn’t seem to be kept up well. Previously, we’d decided that Princess was our favorite cruise line, but this cruise didn’t seem to be up to the other ones.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Room steward was forgetful and inattentive. All other staff were exceptional!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Very clean. Older ship in need of paint. Our balcony showed many rust spots. Not up to Princess standards to us.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Room and shower too small. Room was kept clean and bed was very comfortable. However, our room steward was forgetful: completely missing our room one morning and didn’t take old towels and bring new ones another day. We had to call Housekeeping about it.
