Essentially, Club Penguin Island is a different game, it doesn't have to be like club penguin in every single aspect if the team don't want it to be. It may have flaws but so do a lot of games and there has definitely been large improvements.''

For example, membership is cheaper on CPI than CP and non-members get just as much. Non-members are able to design clothes, buy and use Party Games, play the first adventure from each character, they can collect member items (unlike in CP), and can go Tube Racing, etc, etc. It is free-to-play and membership is optional.

Club Penguin Island has parties, Zones (like multiple rooms in one), free items for everyone at each event, and puffles will be coming eventually. As you said, it still has the charm of the franchise which is what the team wanted to keep alive.
