Variety is a given onboard the Island Princess, with the choice to dine Italian at Sabatini's, New Orleans-style at the Bayou Cafe and Steakhouse, or on your own private balcony with Ultimate Balcony Dining for something a little different. Enjoy the freedom of choice offered with 24-hour buffet and room service, plus takeaway and quick meals at The Grill burger bar and Princess Pizzeria for poolside dining. Got a sweet tooth? Sundaes ice cream bar and the patisserie offer delicious desserts.
Entertainment
Sit back and enjoy the show at the Princess Theatre or the Universe Lounge featuring three revolving stages.

The deck is open all night with first-run films at Movies Under the Stars.
Chill out with pools, hot tubs and the spa when you've had enough of the action. If you've still got energy to burn after partying all night, the extensive sporting facilities will certainly keep you on the run!
