Ship tip
Layout on Island Princess is quite a bit different than most Princess ships we've been on. Take some time to get acquainted with the layout.
Very nice scenery. Excursion visited an animal rescue - the sloths were cool! It also did an aerial tram ride which wasn't that great. And a butterfly exhibit that was interesting, but just okay.
We did a Rural Traditions tour and it was very fun and educational. We visited several small communities and met with local families that produce products to sell. We sampled, prickly pear cactus, mezcal, homemade tortillas and tamales, and learned about the culture and how they make a living.
