YouTube Video Description

Our complete honest review of the Island Princess - and we don't agree! After 10 days from New York to Bermuda (with hurricane disruptions), we're breaking down everything we loved and what needs improvement. Jerry calls it his NEW #1 Princess ship and ranks it in his top 3 ships of ALL TIME, leapfrogging even Caribbean Princess. Jill? She'd sail it again but Enchanted Princess is still her favorite and Island Princess doesn't crack her top 3. From exceptional staff service to dated cabins, tons of elevators to weird gym locations, multiple dance floors to microphone volume issues - we're covering it all. Jerry loves the unique non-cookie-cutter design and cozy small ship feel, while Jill appreciates the space but wanted an adults-only pool. We independently made our lists without comparing notes, so you're getting completely unfiltered opinions. Whether you're considering Island Princess or just curious why Jerry's obsessed with smaller, older ships, this detailed review covers every venue, dining option, and amenity onboard.
