Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Island Princess
Great Cruise Reviews that i read before were moaning about old ship and miserable crew - don't listen ! all great! Solo Sailor
The ship was a little tired but the helful staff and the fun made up for it in so many ways. For instance we were watching a movie under the stars and one of the staff asked it we were enjoing it. We said yes but it was a bit chilly and in an instant we had warm fluffy blankets. So typical of Princess Cruiseline
Great vacation on island princess. Metal some lovley people. Staff were outstanding
Good atmosphere, great shows and excellent lectures, but the ship is dated and requires major refurbishment. The qualify of the food in the buffet is mediocre. The Excursions staff need retraining in customer care. They caused chaos at disembarkation by asking the passengers to go from deck 7 down to 5, and then back up again, with many carrying heavy luggage with them. Internet access is expensive.
