Dining
Princess Cruises has a long-standing tradition of ensuring the highest quality cooking at every meal onboard. The elegant Provence Dining Room creates the ultimate dining experience with your own personal waiter at set meal times for the duration of the cruise. The Bordeaux Dining Room provides the same quality service and dining but with greater time flexibility.
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. For even more excitement, try your chance at poker in the Paris-themed Princess Casino or take to the dancefloor in one of several lounges. 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!
