ark-03-engineer Posted July 28, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Just got off Island Princess, third cruise, first with Princess. Crew was incredible, honestly went above my expectations. Ship felt very spacious and the venues were very well done. I had the misfortune to only discover the band Project 5 on the last night, but it's a performance I'll remember for a long time, the extra set was quite a treat.

Planning is Half the Fun Posted July 28, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Thanks - our Island cruise is in less than a month and you could be among the first information we hear this season! Do you remember anything else? Do you have any patters or menus? Any feedback on any other ship activities? I'm so encouraged by your positive experience!

arlybest Posted July 28, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 28, 2016 We will be on the Island in September SB from Whittier. Wondering if anyone has any information on meal served in MDR the first evening. WHY? We may decide to do our Specialty Dining that night vs later in the week. I think the first formal night is the 2nd night. Can anyone help with info? Greatly Appreciated! Can hardly contain our excitement. First time to AK and first time on Princess! Arlette & Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel4Us Posted July 28, 2016 #7 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hello all... We just returned from our first Princess cruise that departed from Whittier July 13 on Island Princess. The MDR served many options for the main courses, with a least 5 different entrees with a chicken, beef & seafood selection to choose from. Each night had a different menu... one night was asian, italian (with a selection of pastas), etc..... The formal night was the second night and the last sea day.

Planning is Half the Fun Posted July 28, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hi Travel - thanks, that's super helpful. Do you know if it was the assigned seating for all of the evenings in the MDR? Any chance you held on to any patters? Any highlights from the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planning is Half the Fun Posted July 28, 2016 #9 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Travel4us - Was there crab or lobster in the MDR any of those nights? I'm sure I'm going to think of a million more questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Working 2 Cruise Posted July 29, 2016 #10 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Crab is served one night in Juneau. There are a couple of nights that are open seating, whichever day the ship leaves late. It's the same procedure on all Princess ships in Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel4Us Posted July 29, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Hi Travel - thanks, that's super helpful. Do you know if it was the assigned seating for all of the evenings in the MDR? You are assigned a table number and dining room at check-in for each nights dinner. Both MDR serve the same options. Any chance you held on to any patters? No.... sorry. Any highlights from the ship? Nightly shows last one hour, consisting of comedians and shows with the ships dancers/singers. They also had whats called the Voice of the Ocean that uses cruiser participation for singer selection. The last night these singers face off for a trophy with audience voting to select the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
