Entertainment

We didn’t go to the princess theater, but to the Wheelhouse, we say a great duo called Crimson Duo, we were on the cruise for 14 nights and always enjoyed them.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
They were so helpful and so happy to see us, after almost 2 years for the Island Princess being out of service, the staff were overjoyed to see us.

Ship Quality

Ship was very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Wonderful stateroom, we booked a mini suite, this was a cruise we were supposed to take in 2020, so we wanted something special.

Ship tip

I would say if you don’t like a lot of sea days this may not be the cruise for you, but if you want a relaxing cruise this is it, also remember it gets hot and humid in the Chanel.

Ports of call

Cartagena, Colombia

5 out of 5
Enjoyed this so much, we had never been their, and the country and people were friendly, if I could say anything negative you may want to learn to say No, I understand it’s a poor country, but you can only buy so much.

We are on the Island Princess beginning on 5/26 out of Fort Lauderdale for the Fire, Ice and Arctic Circle cruise. Happy to hear that things are running smoothly for their inaugural return after a couple of years of just floating around without guests.

At least you got to go to Costa Rica. On my last cruise on NCL Bliss we could not get off the ship for Costa Rica.
