- Our adventure begins as we embark on Island Princess to visit a number of ports in the UK, Ireland, Iceland and Greenland. In this video we cover the tips and tricks that we use during embarkation day on a Princess cruise. We embarked Island Princess from Mayflower terminal in Southampton and we were amazed at the embarkation process. We spent the time before our cabin was ready exploring the ship, we visited The Sanctuary, Spa and the children and kids clubs onboard. The Princess sail away did not disappoint and luckily the weather was on our side. We had our first evening meal in the Bordeaux restaurant and enjoyed some of the entertainment onboard including a great theatre show from Jay MCGee.

Island Princess is part of Princess Cruises' fleet and was launched in 2003. It belongs to the Coral-class of ships and has been a popular choice for travellers seeking a cruise experience with a balance of comfort and luxury. Princess Cruises, in general, is known for offering a range of amenities and services to make passengers' experiences enjoyable. The ship offers various entertainment options, including live performances, musicals, and themed events. Island Princess provides a variety of cabins and suites to cater to different preferences and budgets.
We are Tom and Dom and we experienced our first cruise on the MSC Virtuosa during her UK staycation cruises in 2021. We are relatively new to cruising, however we can now say we are officially hooked.
Our mission is provide a fair and balanced review of our travels. We look at the types of food that is available onboard, from main dining rooms, room service, buffets and pool side snacks. We include menus for each of cruises so that we can share the selection of drinks and meals that are available. Entertainment onboard a cruise ship is important to us and we enjoy theatre production shows, live music, quizzes and game shows. We love to explore different ports and destinations and enjoy sharing tips and tricks so that you can make the most of each port. We often explore ports independently but also book excursions that are interesting to us.

Buffet looks like there’s a good variety of food. Looks like a nice peaceful ship and not too crowded 😊
We really like the buffet with its unusual location at the front of the ship
Lovely to see you both again. We were on this cruise with you and you certainly make it look amazing. Far better than we remember and we really enjoyed it so that’s saying something.
Looking forward to seeing ourselves in other videos as we just did at the Sailway. Hoping for another video every day for the next 15 days.😊
Thank you so much! We have been very much looking forward to putting these videos out. There will be a new episode every Monday. Please let us know what you think 😃
This looks like so much fun! Love the look of the sail away! The drinks look so good too 🤩 I am going straight to the Princess website to look at cruises 🙊
You would love a Princess Cruise. Sail Away is great with them
Good job! We missed this one because I got sick. Nothing real bad etc. We were looking forward to this trip. Thank you for bringing it to us.
Thank you for watching and living the cruise through us. So sorry you couldn’t make it. Hope all is well now
Tom! Good evening!Love it, total incredible traveling~ take care,;))
Thanks
Was on this same cruise, had a fabulous time, without doubt the best cruise I have been on.
Completely agree our top cruise
Really enjoyed your embarkation video guys, looking forward to watching the next 13 episodes 😃 see how many i can get through while OH is watching footy. Just got back from a Marella Caribbean cruise both full of cold so this will cheer me up. 🤧
Thank you so much! Hope you feel better soon
I’m so glad i didn’t know the app counted your drinks for you. I think my mum and I came close to maxing ours out many days on this cruise. LOL “The app is judging us!!!”
Haha probably best not to look. 🤣
Great video! I will be taking the Star Princess from Southhampton to Ft Lauderdale and then the Island Princess from Ft Lauderdale to San Francisco. Was thinking of also staying close by the port at the Holiday Inn as you suggested. But is there any nightlife in that area at all?
Thanks for watching. Sounds like a fantastic trip you have planned. The Holiday Inn is located within easy walking distance of the city centre, bars and restaurants
Omg! Just found you and I think I love you guys! You have a new subscriber - ME! 😃
🙌🙌🙌 Thanks for subbing!
Gents up loaded today, when was it filmed, weather looking to good to be Nov/Dec, was on Sky last year, loved our fortnight on her, should you still be on your cruise enjoy?
Thank you. This was filmed in the Summer luckily we had such good weather especially when we get to Greenland
Very good vlog, nice to see your i’m embarkation day and compare it to ours. I recognise lot of crew, especially at good spirits. I’ve also some some videos which I’ve uploaded on CZcams of my experience on Island Princess
Thank you for watching! We will certainly take a look at your videos
Great video, the rumors are that Princess plans to sell or scrap the Island Princess after the next world cruise. Please find out if this is true, if so it will be sad as I love the smaller ships.
Thanks for watching. The smaller ships are great. We will do some investigating
We always like to use the casino bar when the ship gets busy and as you say staff are always really good but when we went on Sky Princess last year we were gutted when we went to the casino as the bar had been removed and we had used it every night when we had been on Sky in 2022 it is still a mystery why they removed it as I have never been on a princess ship that does not have a bar in the casino.
We were back on Sky a few months ago but didn’t spot that.
Great Vlog , did you find Island dated ? We love Princess but haven’t cruised on Island .
We absolutely found her to have a more classic cruise feel compared to the Royal Class but for us that only added to the charm.
Sad about the love boat dream makeover, it definitely doesn’t look as good as it used to 😢
No idea what happened. Less chocolate and more sauce
I have an apology to make to you. I had lost my glasses before watching . I couldn’t cope with the “blurred “ screen , so paused you and went in search. I finally found them on the sofa next to me 🤦🏻♀️ Anyway, I got comfy again and pressed play, then realised that I had somehow hit the dislike button (eeek!!) I always love your videos , so I’ve put it right, hit the like button and I’m now re watching … Sorry guys x
🤣🤣🤣 Not to worry thank you so much for watching whether we are blurry or not.
What time of the year were you in Greenland?
This was in August last year
What are the chances Dom will accomplish his next 'bucket list' item and do an on-stage cruise participation activity in 2023? 🙈
Can tell you there isn’t much chance with Voice of the Ocean 🤣
@@TomandDomTravel If my memory serves me correctly, you have the big holiday cruise coming up and there is always 'strength in numbers!' to join you on the dais OR 'Prosecco Courage' does wonders for the spirit.😉
@@chrispnw2547 yes we are away for New Year! We shall see what courage those New Year bubbles bring 😉
we've had 12 Princess cruises on 7 different ships, and we find the service is not good for the new premium prices post covid era. The entertainment is not as professional or complete as pre pandemic. when there were scenery and costumes changes. There are also extra costs to the main dining. We have transferred our cruises to Celebrity.
Thanks for sharing. We have only been on Celebrity Silhouette. Would like to do more.
