Princess Cruises - Discovery Princess Reviews

A new ship nicely appointed was marred by an overloaded passenger complement of 4100 passengers and a dining room fiasco regarding reserved dining times. The staff was simply overwhelmed by not knowing how to place guests at assigned tables for reserved times resulting in lines snaking up the staircases leading to the dining rooms. Waits of 45 minutes on two occasions coupled by a sterile, cold dining room (Ketchikan) with excessively long (2+hr) dinners made onboard dining an ordeal rather than an enjoyable experience. Not having a priest onboard for Christmas Catholic Mass was a TRAVESTY! Specialty restaurant reservation was not handled properly by the staff either. Given the experience we had onboard, we will not be booking any future cruises on Princess.

Cruise as expected fort hat time of yyear. The food was not good at all. but that was expected. princess lack of staff as well. Even with reservation at restaurants we had to waith 1:00hr minimum to get in the restaurant! very bad.

met the chefs and maitre ds they where fabulous we where a little under the weather, tired doing to many things, we needed this break we had a rest very much needed looking forward to our next trip

Wonderful trip! We loved our Discovery Princess Cruise ship. Would definitely book another cruise on this ship.

Trip was excellent. Time and activities to spend with 15-year-old grandson and plenty of time and activities for us to enjoy with own age group. "Movies Under the Stars" and swimming pools probably not best activities for Alaska, but people seemed to enjoy the casino and the add-ons provided by Avoya--unlimited beverages and Internet access--were great. For myself, I would probably want a smaller ship but it worked out great for my grandson in terms of activities and company for age group. Both he and I really enjoyed the outdoor adventure activities; should have signed up for whale-watching.

Beautiful ship. Fabolous crew.

Loved it. Seas were a little rough, but scenery was beautiful. Thanks to our agent, Cindy.

We are a seniors couple. This was our first Princess cruise. We were pleased that our ship "Discovery", was more adult oriented than the Carnival ship we had previously sailed. The ship, staff and entertainment were wonderful. The food was familiar yet adventurous which we really appreciated. The crew was very concerned about cleanliness all over the ship - which we very much appreciated. Our stateroom was kept immaculate by Rafael. The weather was perfect, and so was the view looking forward from our stateroom. The only disappointment AND IT WAS HUGE, was not being able to view Dawes Glacier - a must experience for us - due to icebergs. This was why we took this cruise - to experience an Alaskan glacier before they're gone. To try to make up for it we took a bus ride to Mendenhall Glacier. It was nice, but a bit of a disappointment - it was certainly not the experience we were looking forward to. The ports of call were interesting and we explored every one with the exception of Victoria. We took the White Pass train ride out of Skagway - another must experience. We sailed through a storm at sea on the way back. This was also interesting - another adventure! We still hope to experience a glacier, hopefully calving. We would like to thank our travel agent, Susan, for her patience and professionalism through the starts and stops due to Covid.

Overall we had a good time and adventure. Food was only so-so. 5 star presentation but only 2 star quality. 6 of us traveled together. 5/6 got sick at the end of the cruise or 1-2 day after. 3/6 tested positive for Covid. One had to be hospitalized. Other than that, excellent excursion to the Dawes Glacier.

Great time ports were beautiful,ship was also beautiful.

GREAT

The Discovery is a beautiful ship. The staff was warm and attentive. There was a good variety of activities to choose from whether the ship was in port or at sea.

This is a great cruise, especially if you live in LA and can just drive to the port. It’s the perfect amount of time at sea and in 3 unique ports in the beautiful Princess Discovery!! Each stop offered beautiful views, fun things to do and awesome weather in February! The Princess staff is always perfect in every way!

Loved the people, service was wonderful and entertainment was top notch. Food was good but the desserts and fish were probably the worst I’ve had on a cruise. They were pretty but lacked in taste most were very dry.

My Wife and I ce;ebrated our 25th and 26th anniversary on this trip as we did not celebrate our 25th last year. We made reservations with Avoya agent Mr Jack Henry who was very attentitive and insiteful. Princess also made the cruise very special from the flowers from Princess agent Ava to the room upgrade from Princess agent Margie. All the people on the ship made this vruise memorable

Ship is still looking great at almost a year old. Stateroom service fantastic, food in the specialty restaurants tasty, just a shame that premium wines and spirts included in the Princess Premium Package ran out shortly into the 10 day cruise.

Had the BEST time!!! Bonnie our agent was awesome!! So helpful even answered a question during the holiday. Will be using Bonnie again Thank you for a wonderful cruise. Worry free all the way
