Island Princess rates higher overall than 48% of the ships we track. Embarkation is its strongest showing. The weak spot is fitness — and a small but very consistent signal says it is getting worse.

The one caution
6.5out of 10 for fitness
Higher than only 10% of ships. The typical ship scores 7.35.
Of the 11 reviewers who described fitness changing over time, 6 said it got worse.
Consistent, but only 11 people said it.
Of the 242 reviewers who wrote about it, 30% were positive.
Six are good without being remarkable: embarkation, disembarkation, entertainment, service, value and dining. They rate higher than 51% to 82% of ships.
Five fall below the fleet: activities, public areas, cabins, ship quality and fitness. They rate higher than 10% to 47% of ships.
Family falls below the fleet too, but only 44 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.10 and 8.44. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
Reviewers named 12 places by name. These 3 are the ones where knowing changes anything — the other 8 are all liked by 50% to 76% of the people who mentioned them.
First-time cruisers (130 of 142), seniors (121 of 149), solo travelers (24 of 29) and couples (23 of 26).
Families with young kids (46 of 59) described it as a poor fit.
