We were on the very same cruise and felt the same about Island Princess, a lovely old girl. We’ve watched all the videos of the trip as it’s been like reliving it all over. And fun to see if we could spot ourselves anywhere. Trying Sky Princess next but I think we might miss the smaller ship ambience.
Thank you so much for watching and supporting us. Island Princess is a special ships Sky Princess was our very first Princess ship and we had a great time. Have an amazing cruise and please do let us know how you get on.
I was on 2 B2B cruises on the Island Princess in Sept/Oct, & I loved the ship! I spent many happy hours sitting on a bar stool at Crooners Bar! I will be on the Sky Princess on April 27.
Thanks for review. The ship looks nice. I love it but one thing I don't like is promanade deck where suites and balconys are. So guests can't walk around the ship. I would like to go on other ships. I like conservatory. It is good for Alaska or New England/ Canada cruise.
This is the first time I have watched one of your videos and I loved it! Lots of good information and lovely pictures/vids. Also appreciated the positive perspective of the Island Princess as I will be on her for the first time in July (New York to Southampton [Greenland/Iceland, etc.]) and other reviews are quite negative about the Island Princess. Will definitely view other videos you have made.
I am going on a 20 day Greece/Med cruise on Island Princess in Oct We have been on thiship a number of times before electronic devices so I am wondering what the plug situation is in our balcony cabin? Loved the video which reassured me that IP is still a great ship. Thanks.
16 nights, think we would get too used to it and not want to leave! 😂 We have had this issue before with comedians as well, as we all have different types of humours. Sounds like you had a great time! 😃
Sea days are great. I like to eat, play table tennis, play in the casino, watch shows. Is the onboard library good? Don't drink cocktails. Only have a glass of wine and usually with a meal. Karaoke could be good. Not really a bar person. Love food and eating. Dining rooms named for French places. Love sit down meals. Buffets have their place too. Sometimes go to one for a meal then throughout the day go to the buffett. My wife and I have enjoyed eating at the Crown Grill. Princess does make good pizza. Don't like cheese on my burgers. Did hit the like button.
Thank you for watching and hitting like. We really appreciate your comment. The Library is of a good size with a traditional feel. There is a good selection of books and popular with those playing board games.
Just came off Enchanted Princess and Sabatini’s was hands down the worst. Service was chaotic, portions were small and cold by the time they reached us. We cancelled further reservations there and went elsewhere, including the buffet which was hot and frankly superior.
Just got off Island Princess. What happened to Skywalkers? Bed turndown. Chocolate on pillow at night? Now there is a fee for room service. Princess have lost their sparkle. After 6 cruises no more. I want to remember Princess how she was.
It does seem like there have been a lot of changes with Princess as they evoke their product. It does seem to be the push for passengers buy the packages
Hi, we're taking our first ever cruise in July 25, Island Princess to Canada and Greenland, with Plus package....one question: when ordering drinks etc, do my wife and I have to order individually from separate apps on separate phones, or can we use one phone and one app?....if so, how does the system know whose "15 drinks per day" allowance to deduct from?
OK so probably best to both have the app on our own devices and order individually.....thank you so much for the response and feedback, and the video, it gives me reassurance that we will enjoy our time on Island Princess ❤
With those premium desserts, is it just the sundaes that are the available premium desserts or are there other types of premium dessert available in other venues? I'm sure I've seen someone mention there are premium cakes and things available in some of the other restaurants but I can't find anything official from Princess other than the sundae menu. I'm going to have to cross them all off my to-do list :)
Thank you for watching. It was Andi for our cruise as well. It’s our second cruise with him. He was also the cruise director for our Sky Princess cruise
@@TomandDomTravel ah yes I have met him twice...on Regal first then on Island...we had a wonderful cruise on both occasions...our entertainment team were Andi, kimmi, rose and mark...it looks like you might have had Jacinta who we met on our 2nd Regal cruise. I'm lucky enough to have 3 Sky and 1 Carribbean Princess booked so am hoping for the same great experience
hi guys we are on the Island Princess next month. Were there many LGBT passengers on board and was it gay friendly? Can't help but notice that a lot of the passengers on your review were pretty mature!!
Hi, thanks for the question. Yes there were both LGBT passengers onboard as well as being very gay friendly. Passengers demographic was older on our cruise as it often is on longer cruises
Is this your full time job or other. Do you pay for these cruises or the cruise company fund it? Just wondering how independent your reviews are. Cheers.
Thanks for the question. We both have full time jobs. Dom is a teacher and Tom works for a charity. Our cruises are paid for ourselves including this one on island princess. If we are invited to an event such as the launch of Queen Anne the video will say ‘ad / paid promotion’
Thanks. I've never sailed on Princess; your review does a great job of summarizing the experience. And it offers enough examples of the service and venues that the viewer can form his or her own opinion as well. Far be it from this American to suggest how to pronounce an English word, but here in the States "bayou" is pronounced "bye-ewe", not "bay-oh". If the Princess restaurant was inspired by Louisiana, then here is a link to a song, "Born on the Bayou" with the traditional American pronunciation. ua-cam.com/video/fcTQCNntGEs/v-deo.html But that's just for your amusement. Great job.
@@TomandDomTravel You should have a listen to Linda Ronstadt's rendition of Blue Bayou....incredible vocals! BTW, is there pickleball on the Island Princess? We'll be on board for the World Cruise from LA for 116 days next year, and can't go without pickleball for that long! 🙂

Going on the IP in January 25 for 4 months!!
Thank you gents, enjoyed it very much….as we are going to be on that ship in about a week.
Thanks for watching. Have a fantastic cruise! 🚢
I was on 2 B2B cruises on the Island Princess in Sept/Oct, & I loved the ship! I spent many happy hours sitting on a bar stool at Crooners Bar! I will be on the Sky Princess on April 27.
From one great ship to another. Sky was our first Princess ship and we loved her. Thank you for watching and have a great cruise on Sky
Fantastic Vlogg guys!! ❤
Thank you ☺️

Thank you for watching. Yes the perfect for Alaska

Thank you. The plug situation isn’t bad for an older ship. We have more info in our cabin tour

Love that there is no "ugly"!
😆😆
Great video guys! You did not mention the International Cafe - Princess' 24-hour quick bite spot. Does this ship not have this eatery? Thanks
Thank you. Unfortunately there is no International Cafe on Island Princess
What was the Internet speed like? Any issues? Is it possible to work remotely on this ship while at sea? Thank you!
We didn’t have a problem. Now most ships have Starlink the internet is much better. We have met several people who work from ship
Nice review, are there 240v sockets in the staterooms or just 110v? Many thanks
Thank you! We aren’t 100% sure. All our UK electricals seemed to work fine
16 nights, think we would get too used to it and not want to leave! 😂 We have had this issue before with comedians as well, as we all have different types of humours. Sounds like you had a great time! 😃
Thanks for watching! We certainly didn’t want to leave 😃

Love your channel. What was the Casino like? Did they have a craps table. Cheers
Thanks for watching. The casino is good although it isn’t as modern as on some of the newer ships. The was a Craps when we were onboard
@@TomandDomTravel thanks so much. Keep up the great content.
@StevenCovey-ct3sx thank you
Hi, we're taking our first ever cruise in July 25, Island Princess to Canada and Greenland, with Plus package....one question: when ordering drinks etc, do my wife and I have to order individually from separate apps on separate phones, or can we use one phone and one app?....if so, how does the system know whose "15 drinks per day" allowance to deduct from?
Thanks for the question. You can order from one device for both of you but it will deduct the drinks from that person’s allowance.
OK so probably best to both have the app on our own devices and order individually.....thank you so much for the response and feedback, and the video, it gives me reassurance that we will enjoy our time on Island Princess ❤
hi is there a windjammer kind of buffet restaurant with outdoor seating ?
Thanks for the question. There is a buffet but not to the scale of RCL Windjammer
We are traveling 18 days and concerned on balcony room now. Also unless premium,one pays for room service?
Thanks for the question. If you have Princess Plus and Princess Premier passengers will have the standard $5 per delivery room service charge waived.
Great video! You really did have a great cruise! 🚢
It was spectacular! Thanks for watching
With those premium desserts, is it just the sundaes that are the available premium desserts or are there other types of premium dessert available in other venues?

I'm going to have to cross them all off my to-do list :)
You can only get Icecream from Swirls but you can get premium cakes in the Main Dining Room. We have some examples on our vlogs. 🍰
@@TomandDomTravel Ah yes that giant multilayered cake thing, I do remember now. Cheers!
Actually another question 😊....how do you know if a cocktail is under the $15 mark so it will be included in Plus?
All the prices are shown on the app. So once you order if it’s included the system will deduct the cost so it will show an amount of 0
Thank you❤
i loved the Island Princess. who was the cruise director? it was Andi when i was on board, hes a superstar
Thank you for watching. It was Andi for our cruise as well. It’s our second cruise with him. He was also the cruise director for our Sky Princess cruise

@sedonars1 will give that a listen. There is one multi use sports court nothing specific to Pickleball unfortunately
Embarkation
Sorry not sure what you mean?
