Get up early to get a good spot on board when going through the Panama locks.

if you do the full transit on this ship, it is worth the extra money to purchase a lounge chair at the rear of the ship, check it out.

Be sure to check out The Sanctuary and their afternoon tea!

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.

Just remember she is a small older ship and doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the newer ships. That being said they have retroinstalled the Medallion system and that is great.

This ship would be best in a warmer climate so you can spend your time in the outdoor areas.

See if it has been refurbished recently

Check out room sizes for old ships like the Island Princess. If you like a lot of space, go for new ships.

Look for other ships with similar itinerary that offer better food and service ... otherwise prepare to be underwhelmed.

Have a great & memorable cruise

We scheduled tours at every stop ... would not do that again. Does not give enough time to really explore the culture of the city.

Moving the fitness center to deck 6 to allow 24/7 access was the most significant change from the previous time we were on the Island Princess.

Try to find a newer ship

If on this ship for a northern lights cruise get a balcony room on a lower floor so you can see the lights from your balcony. Higher floors (ALoha) has an obscured view of the sky by overhanging lido deck

Don’t expect coffee before 6:00 am without paying for it even if you have a coffee card.

Get ready to meet some fun people.

Do not choose this ship. It is the OLDEST and SMALLEST ship Princess has. We were told that several times by the crew. Everything in it was breaking down constantly. The bathrooms, TV, buffet drink fountains. They need to retire this ship ASAP. The poor thing has had it.

Princess is becoming more like Carnival each day. No attention to high end cruises any longer.
