Creator's Key Takeaways

The Island Princess started sailing in 2003. So that makes the ship 22 years old.

She's a little dated. I would say that's probably true. But she's a very quaint little little elephant.

The casino on this ship is site. It's small. Very small.

Staff in general on the Princess ship has been amazing for us. They've been really great.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a set dining time if you want to eat early or avoid long waits.
Arrive early for theater shows or watch them on your cabin TV later.
Bring a snack from the buffet for a midnight snack since there's no International Cafe.
