World Cruise 2024
April
Pros: Great embarkation process, destination information, CREW, and activities
Cons: Small ship with limited space for food and entertainment venues
Recommended: Yes
The CREW was consistently pleasant, helpful, and a joy to be around. Princess does a GREAT job of organizing the movement of people. Getting on-board took less than 15 minutes, to sign in, get my medalion, and be in my cabin. Shore tours are also well organized and available for people with handicaps. Presentations (Called "Enrichment") are TERRIFIC, if often a bit early for late sleepers. They cover any amount of subjects including shore destinations, history of the region being cruised, general information about bunches of things (aviation, art, British Royalty, Rock & Roll, photography, etc.). The ship is small and that doesn't allow for numerous food venues. Especially lacking is the International Cafe, which is so popular on other Princess ships. The theater is small and access is limited to two aisles, meaning that the bulk of guests must squeeze through in front of other people to get to seats.

Octoberfest
October
Pros: Captain did a great job of keeping the ship out of the stormy weather. We were thrilled with the extra effort by the Excursions staff to secure a trip to Normandy
Cons: the weather couldn't be helped, but it was rainy and unable to visit every port.
Recommended: Yes
Special kudos to the excursion staff that enabled us to go on the Normandy trip when our Viator trip was canceled that morning. They made special phone calls, and even arranged for a van ride to catch us up with the departed bus. The Normandy excursion was the highlight of the whole cruise, and the luncheon was a delicious surprise.

Oktoberfest Cruise
October
Pros: Great service, food quality was good.
Cons: Too many ports in 10 days.

Need more time in Oslo, Norway and Brugge, Belgium. By far, everyone agreed both of these ports were the #1 and 2 best stops.

Phenomenal trip
July
Pros: Exceptional service, friendly staff, zero complaints from us
Cons: None
Recommended: Yes
We sailed on the Island Princess for 14 days on a Baltic Sea excursion. The service was exceptional, as usual for Princess. The ship was only about 60% booked presumably due to COVID concerns, so it was a little quiet but that only made service easier and getting into shows etc. all the easier. We have zero complaints and would highly recommend this trip and Princess. Of note to other travelers, this was an older crowd of passengers which was fine for us, but it is a consideration if bringing kids - there won't be many young companions onboard.
