Island Princess - Ever been in C201 - 204?
I believe you are referring to the Caribe Deck forward (very forward)
Square footage: 300 sq ft Occupancy: Up to 4 guests Amenities: Floor-to-ceiling windows, separate sitting area, two twin beds that convert to a queen-size bed, spacious closet, private bathroom with bathtub and shower, sofa bed, desk, refrigerator, and two TVs . Now I have only had clients who sailed on this ship but word has it that the cabins are adequate for the ship and its age. Now if you are going to Hawaii I strongly suggest an Ocean View Cabin and a mini suite is a nice addition. According to Carla a past client the food is out of this world! A whopping 90 percent of Island's cabins are oceanview. If you can afford to upgrade to a balcony, go for it; it's not much more, and the scenery will have you out there no matter what the weather. In a standard room, the desk, easy chair (which is more uptight than easy), and the cable television/refrigerator unit are consolidated near the window or balcony. A queen-size bed separates into two twins, each with a bedside table and lamp. The closet and dressing area are roomy, and the bathroom with shower is more than navigable for one person at a time. Like I say food is the attraction and a Mud Slide for a drink (for me please!) is the best! Bordeaux and Provence (main dining rooms) Gleaming with frosted glass partitions and polished brass, the two indistinguishable main dining rooms ease you into an inviting, white-tablecloth atmosphere. The single story spaces accommodate plenty of tables for two, as well as congenial groupings of six and eight. In Bordeaux, open 5:30-10 PM for personal choice dining, you'll get to chat with different tablemates at every meal. Provence's traditional set dining, at 5:30 and 7:45 PM, allows you to build friendships with the same folks night after night and be entertained by familiar waiters. On Alaska cruises flavors of the North infuse such main courses as Alaskan king crab legs, chicken Kiev, and venison Inupiat style, while classic Caesar salads and shrimp cocktails are always on hand. Provence diners eagerly await the show of flaming baked Alaskas for the last night's dessert. Sabatini's Trattoria An endless-course meal of Italy's alta cucina is yours for $20 in this alluring trattoria. Choose only the main course; the parade of foccacia, caviar, melon, soup, and pasta starts instantly. Can't decide between lobster tail, halibut, or scallops? Upon request, the chef will prepare you a plate with the best seafood samplings of the day, all perfectly cooked and lavishly brushed with champagne butter. Bayou Café & Steakhouse Louisiana struts her spicy stuff to a live jazz trio at the dark and clubby Bayou. For a fixed $15, satisfy an urge for Southern cooking with barbequed gator ribs that taste (thankfully) like chicken, blackened Sterling Silver bone-in New York strip steak that's perfectly peppered but requires a sharper knife than the one provided, and the shrimp piquante (flavorful, but overcooked). The sweet potato pie makes up for shortcomings, and a complimentary Mardi Gras necklace at each place adds a bit of jocularity. Lunch takes place from noon to 2 PM; dinner, 6-11 PM. |
