Absolutely need to get to the theater half hour early to get a good seat.Princess singers and dancers were pretty good,comedian was hilarious! Comedy/magician was terrible.

Cabin / Stateroom

Had Aloha 429. I thought the balcony would be a little larger than others,It looked like it was by deck plan pics,but was just a standard size balcony. Bathtub was HUGE!

Ship tip

If your sailing through the Panama canal on the Island Princess,expect a more mature crowd that is there to relax. I would not recommend it for a young family or "party crowd".

Ports of call

Cartagena, Colombia

5 out of 5
We just went on complementary shuttle to the small wildlife area close to ship,and this was our favorite port.If you like to see wildlife in a natural like jungle setting,you would enjoy this .And best of all it's free!

Falmouth, Jamaica

2 out of 5
Tour through Princess,quality has gone downhill.
