Get to shows early since the room is small and seating fills up quickly.

Great layout - pick this ship for Panama Canal, it fits in the old locks

The Island Princess is one ship where the most convenient cabins are forward of midship. There are few public areas towards the stern

Don’t be surprise about the size of your stateroom bathroom shower.

Enjoyed having our cabin midship. Make sure you highlight the activities on the Platter that you want to attend. You receive the brochure every evening for the following day.

Explore the ship. Each deck has something different.

I would say Do IT. I would sail on her again.

Just know its a smaller ship and set your expectations accordingly. Also, 10 days to the canal draws an older crowd. I'm 39 and was one of the younger people on board.

Pre-pay gratuity and purchase the internet package. Purchase show excursions prior to boarding.

I assume this cruise is for older people.

Our cabin was L706 across from entrance to Teen Lounge....a bit noisy at times in the evening.....however we were teenagers once....

Don’t miss the last day shopping experience. Buffet foods are better than those in the formal dining rooms.

Need to be willing to overlook outdated ship condition. It needs a thorough renovation from air conditioning control and capability. Temperature is freezing in many bars and the theater. Cabin temp adjustment does not set in until hours later. Mostly older folks with lots of health problems to start with. Dining room floor has so many levels and steps that are easily missed. Hallway, at least on deck 8 is very uneven with dents and carpet shows signs of many ‘leaks’ The exhaust of the gray water tank is located near the theater entrance which is nauseating at best on most days and also irritating on deck 7 outside promenade. Food is okay but nothing to write home about. Ship needs more than a 10 day update though it did sail well in some rough seas. However the water shuttles (tenders) were unreliable and one wonders how they might work in real emergencies.

Get a cabin near midship.

The Island Princess is a smaller ship, but for me personally I like the larger ships. The ship is older but it is very nice inside. It was refurbished in 2017 and they did a great job. There wasn't a lot of production shows on board, and every thing seemed to close down around 10PM.
