Island Princess Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We had a good time. Food , entertainment and service were excellent.

One of the worst cruises I have taken. The noise in the bathroom, the awful smell, the tiny bathroom. I have take many better cruises.

Staff at passenger services was not helpful at all. Constantly had to go back to get issues resolved. Paid for room decorations in advance. They were not delivered and after multiple discussions with them, they were finally set up. No card was attached so recipient never knew who they came from. Specialty dinner was messed up and our complementary bottle of wine (set up by Princess) was not even a wine the ship carried. Offered a different brand at no charge and then was charged. A lot of cruisers had their bills messed up. A Nightmare.

We were glad we took excursion on ferry to the Pacific Ocean at Panama City to see the whole canal.

This cruise was amazing. Sole purpose of cruise was to see the Panama Canal. However, most of the passengers were much older (65+). Alot of walkers and scooters and cranky old people. Entertainment staff was amazing, however, the activities were very short. Nothing for more than 1/2 hour, regardless if the crowd was having fun and enjoying themselves. They would have a full room of dancing and partying only to stop and change gears to the next scheduled thing which was usually a quieter activity.

Overall a very enjoyable cruise and one we would happily recommend.

Overall this was a great experience. Being a solo traveler was enhanced by attentive staff and great entertainment. Will do another with Princess very soon.

The dinner table waiter "Aaron Paul" exceeded my service expectations. WOW!

Great cruise. Second time around different ship this time

It was easy to get off ship and visit ports with lots of activities to do

This was our fifth cruise on Princess. We were very disappointed with their service particularly in the dining room. When boarding I was told I could buy the premium beverage package on the first or second day. When I went to purchase it on the second day, I was told the employee told me incorrectly and they refused to sell it to me. I tallied my expenditures for beverages and It cost me an extra $150 over the cost of the package. All they could say is "we are sorry". They should have made the exception since I was mislead.

Overall a good cruise. Very relaxing and we really enjoyed the food in the buffet. Food in the dining rooms Provence and Bordeaux was good but the service was slow and took almost 2 hours to complete a meal. Entertainment was good but the bed was too soft and the pillows too large.

Very much enjoyed our first cruise on Island Princess from LA to Ft Lauderdale. We were surprised by the variety of activities offered. Most enjoyable: night entertainment in the Princess Theatre (very professional), lectures on Canal history and other topics, our accessible stateroom which very nicely accommodated my husband's needs.

The ship is comfortable. The cruise had the right amount of stops. I wish they had a real Patisserie on board!

Our Voyage of the Glaciers Cruise in early September was AWESOME!! Saw lots of wildlife & weather was sunny & dry. Bald eagles, Brown bears, Alaskan mountain goats, Sea Otters, Seals, Beluga Whales. If you want to see lots of glaciers as well, go on this cruise. You won't be disappointed!! ;-)

Cruise went without a hitch. Everything is really well planned out.

Overall a nice trip. The food was not the quality of other cruise ships we have been on. We had to send back a few meals. Also we got cold food that was supposed to be hot. The staff in the sit down dinning was not friendly some actually seemed angry or unhappy. The man that attended our room was excellent.

Overall good passenger experience. Dinner waiters, Head Waiter, Alvin Dela Cruz and Asst. Waiter, Victor Del Valle did excellent job. Dinner were great. Two dress up / formal dinners right number to have.

Vinton Fernandes our steward was great. Service in the dining room needs improvement. Towels could have been nicer. This was our first cruise and Vinton made us want to come back.

The idea of traveling to Alaska was foreign to us for many reasons, the myths surrounding cold unbearable weather, rain, insects and a host of other insane comments over the years from folks....that was phony baloney . I was amazed at how affordable the vacation package was and the list of excursions that was being offered. We didn't do everything, but boy we did had a blast, the Helicopter ride to Mendenhall Glacier, Dog sledding, Ziplining and the unforgettable Bear hiking through the forest was funny yet extremely entertaining. Thanks Island Princess
