Booked on the Island Princess in 2024. We have watched a lot of videos and yours is the best by far. Thank you for producing such a well made and high quality video. We are now more excited than we were.
We're booked on the Island Princess for May of 2024 - Panama Canal. We've sailed Panama Canal on Coral Princess back in 2004. Already so excited for this next one! Thanks for the great video!
Was the same as the Coral Princess but was remodeled removing many of the features that a lot of passengers had enjoyed. I believe that is why the Coral wasn't changed. We all have our preferences. We cruise Princess because they do not have an amusement park.
Post watching. May I suggest the comment as of today 1/1/2000 the charge is $$ . I am watching as I am 26 days from doing this cruise and boy prices have changed also Alfredo is a charge. Thanks for sharing your family Retired public school teacher and was blessed to do Science with a local homeschool group
Got Married in the “Sanctuary “ on the Princess Island on July,11th 2015. Grand Mediterranean Cruise 🚢 which ended in Barcelona, Spain … Princess Staff helping us prep for our big day we’re so amazing ! The memories from that cruise and all the beautiful ports are ones I go Back to all the time . We are still Married and just in love today as back then .. blessed
Great video! Looking forward to spending 28 days on the Island Princess this summer with my parents and brother. Hoping internet works decently as I'll have a little bit of work to do. Actually on Royal, you can log out of 1 device and log in to another with just 1 account. I do it all the time between my phone and laptop.
Hi! Great video! We have been on 6 Princess cruises but never on the Island Princess so I was thrilled to find your video! We will be on the Island Princess in October for 2 weeks to Norway to see the Northern Lights. Super excited! One question: is there a Wheelhouse Bar on the ship? The deck plan shows one but I didn’t see it on the video. Thanks again!
Thank you for the wonderful video and excellent commentary. We have booked a cruise (Northern Europe ) for October 2023. We chose the “Plus” option and wondered where on the ship the specialty coffees are available. Are they served only in the Horizon Court Buffet or are they available in other places on the Island Princess? Also, is there a soft serve ice cream place on board? We enjoyed one on a previous Princess cruise on a different ship. Thanks again for all the great information.
Great video tour, but I can tell you have been quite “Loyal to Royal” in the past - the term “Centrum” is actually copyrighted by Royal Caribbean Group for the Atriums on their ships. The term Princess use for their atriums is “The Piazza”
Great walkthrough! We'll be doing the reverse in 2024. Question for you. Did the ship stay on the Fort Lauderdale time the whole cruise? Were from the east coast and leaving from CA. Trying to determine if we'll be waking up at 4am ship time the entire cruise haha!
Great tour, thanks. Question: which MDR did you prefer? I heard there was a problem with air conditioning…everywhere including cabins was hot. Did you encounter this?
Hello, We were at the Bordeaux MDR. It was ok. With all honesty, there were nights that we did not care for any of the menu selections (this is Princess-wide, not ship specific) so we ended up either at the Horizon Court or grabbing a burger at the Grill on the Sun deck. We were on in May for the PC route and did not have any issues with the AC in the room or around the ship. I hope this is not anything new as we are on the Island for almost 2 months this coming summer!
Thank you for watching. Yes, there are shows, trivia, karaoke, and plenty f entertainment to include Movies Under The Stars on the pool deck! Happy Cruising!
Thank you! The Internet was not bad. (Not fast, but not horrible either, about 5-12 Mbps.) We received the Internet as part of our booking perks along with beverage, dining, etc... The Medallion app... ehhh... but the medallion itself is pretty cool! Ship is simple, but crew is awesome and there is about everything that one would want on board. Happy Cruising!
Great ship tour. I am looking at doing the same cruise as you are for next April. Are there any Zumba or any other dance classes during sea day? Are there much activities going on during sea day? How are the main theater shows?
Great trip, you will enjoy it! There are fitness activities and other activities aboard and a schedule is in your stateroom daily. The theatre shows were lacking on our time aboard the Island Princess. There were a two comedians and one main headliner show with two other music shows, but nothing that stood out as impressive (unfortunately). We were never bored and had plenty to do even during sea days. Going through the locks was an all-day adventure. The ports were fun and we enjoyed them. Happy Sailing!
@@asgoodasitgets1 Thank you for the quick response. We know Princess really do need to improve on their entertainment. On our Majestic Princess heading to Alaska, there were 4 comedy shows which were a bit too much. I q would like a variety.
@@asgoodasitgets1 Do you know if there is an international Café on this ship. According to Princess, all of their ships have an international Café. Thanks
Awesome tour can’t wait to cruise on this ship later this year!! I’m wondering though what was the general demographic on this cruise ?? I heard it’s mostly older folks but were there teens etc?
Thanks for watching! Princess in general is an older crowd with just a few kids. My boy was the ONLY minor on the Island for our route, but the ladies in Camp Discovery were amazing! Our current cruise on the Emerald Princess has 18 of under 12 year old on board, but still an older crowd. There is a group of 13-17 that hangs out, but have been good in public. Happy Cruising!
If you want an abouslety relaxing Cruise do IP. Sure did wonders for me. Ship dosen't have all the rides and etcetera but has Discovery for kids and teens. My work is keeping me from cruising at the moment.
To be honest, I played the machines. There were table games, but the casino is fairly small which is expected with the smaller ship. I will put out a general inquiry on the Princess Cruisers facebook group, maybe someone is on board. Happy Cruising!
Thanks for taking the time to video the ship. I'm joining it on 21st December 2023
Good job on a complete tour. Appreciate the time and effort. 👍
Very very thorough tour I appreciate that thank you
C’mon people, 14,000 views and only 200 can take the time to hit “like”? Show the man a bit of love n respect for his time!
Thanks for your time to view and help boost my video. Happy Cruising!

Nice ship! I like older ship there.
We love the Island, seem to spend some long routes aboard. No complaints!
@@asgoodasitgets1 Great. I glad you enjoyed with your cruise on Island Princess.

I saw another Island Princess tour video and saw there is a Wheelhouse Bar on deck 7 near the front of the ship. Thanks again!

You are correct! My error, I apologize. We have been going RC to Princess and back to RC... Happy Cruising!
I'm Hispanic-born and can assure you that CartageNa, is said not like Cartage"ñ"a but the N is a SOFT "N", as in "N"ancy.

Thank you for this great video! Does IP have theater shows at night? Trivia? Other types of night time entertainment?
Thank you for watching. Yes, there are shows, trivia, karaoke, and plenty f entertainment to include Movies Under The Stars on the pool deck! Happy Cruising!
@@asgoodasitgets1 Thank you
Hey There Jeff! Awesome video. If you don't me asking. How was the wifi on your trip? Did you purchase the medallion net? thanks!
Thank you! The Internet was not bad. (Not fast, but not horrible either, about 5-12 Mbps.) We received the Internet as part of our booking perks along with beverage, dining, etc...

Royal Caribbean has four ships with forward facing buffet.
Great ship tour. I am looking at doing the same cruise as you are for next April. Are there any Zumba or any other dance classes during sea day? Are there much activities going on during sea day? How are the main theater shows?
Great trip, you will enjoy it! There are fitness activities and other activities aboard and a schedule is in your stateroom daily. The theatre shows were lacking on our time aboard the Island Princess. There were a two comedians and one main headliner show with two other music shows, but nothing that stood out as impressive (unfortunately).

@@asgoodasitgets1 Do you know if there is an international Café on this ship. According to Princess, all of their ships have an international Café. Thanks
@@NLMusique There is a small one located next to the coffee bar that is adjacent to the Good Spirits at Sea Bar in the Piazza. Happy Sailing!
@@asgoodasitgets1 thank you. We just booked the cruise for next April after watching your video
What are the theatre shows on Island Princess, please?
It was May, 2022 when we were last aboard, so they may have changed. There were a couple singer/dancing shows, comedians, and plenty of lounge music.
I’m taking the reverse of this route next May.
It is amazing. Happy Cruising!!
Awesome tour can’t wait to cruise on this ship later this year!! I’m wondering though what was the general demographic on this cruise ?? I heard it’s mostly older folks but were there teens etc?

My work is keeping me from cruising at the moment.
Did this trip require any visas?
Hello, Not for US citizens.
Did you notice if there was any actual holdem poker in the casino?
To be honest, I played the machines. There were table games, but the casino is fairly small which is expected with the smaller ship. I will put out a general inquiry on the Princess Cruisers facebook group, maybe someone is on board. Happy Cruising!
@@asgoodasitgets1 thanks for the info.
Strange how staff wear muzzles but guests don't have too what a pysop, didn't fall for any of it conspiracy theorists becomes conspiracy factulist 🤐
