Island Princess questions -fitness and Reserve Mini Suites

[Familycruzer11]

We are sailing on Island Princess in 2025.  For those of you who are on Island, or are familiar with her (since last refurbish) I have the following questions

1) Looks like the fitness center is all inside (no windows) and very small.   Do they still offer the fitness classes that come with Premier Package (is there space for them?)

 

2) I notice several midship Reserve Mini class suites available on Dolphin Deck, and very few on Caribe or Baja.  Any advantages/disadvantages over one or the other?  I know it's a drawing, but balcony seems bigger on Dolphin - why are there so many not taken?

 

TIA

Yes, the Fitness Center is now on Deck 6 and there are no windows.  Sucks!!!

 

The Dolphin Deck mini's are right above the water shuttle boats and "can" be noisy at times in the early morning hours.

 

Even though the Island Princess is now our least favorite ship in the fleet, we are booked in a Baja Deck Reserve Collection mini-suite for the March of 2026, 54-day voyage. 

 

We book our cruises based on the itineraries, not the ship.

Thank you.  We are on Dolphin and will see if we can move to Baja - there are still a couple left for our trip though our PCP is away until March 13th.

 

Would you happen to know if they have the fitness classes in the gym that come with Premier (Yoga, etc..)?
