Review summary

Overall the cruise/vacation was great.

 

I would suggest that passengers be alerted to the fact that the "downtown/waterfront" area on Dominica is NOT a tourist hot spot.  In fact, I'd stay away from there.  The interior of the island may be great but the town certainly isn't.

 

The other islands we visited were each outstanding in their own way.  Great tours, Princess and independent.  Fabulous beaches.  Princess Cays is a great destination to either start a cruise or end a cruise (first/last port).

 

The ship itself is definitely a step up from the other Princess ships I've had the opportunity to sail.  There are new venues in the Piazza, new restaurants, new bars, new ice cream shoppe.  The traditional and speciality dining rooms all uphold the standard of Princess.

Thanks for sharing your cruise.

It is still recovering from a hurricane that killed more than 20 people; not a wealthy island. The island is not known for shopping , it is known for its interior beauty and abundant sea life. I believe it has World Unesco site.
