Review summary

This Alaskan cruise out of Seattle was overall pretty good. I did come home with Covid though, but the discovery princess is a good ship. The cabins are very roomy, and very clean. the whole ship was very clean. The food in the dining room was not too good. The French Bistro restaurant was great! The Crown Grill was very good! The Salty Dog Grill is a waste of money as it is not good at all. The buffet okay. The buffet has some what of a different theme every night some better than others. Of course they saved the best for the last day in the buffet. Princess no longer puts chocolates in the cabin at night. The medallions are neat. The princess app works very slowly. The glacier viewing was not great on this cruise, we did not get very close to the glaciers. I now understand why it is better to do the Alaskan on a smaller ship. We were told Glacier Bay was much better for glacier viewing. We cruised the Endicott Arm from 5 to 8 AM. The entertainment on this ship is not very good at all. We used the Seattle Express to get back to the airport from the cruise terminal. I set up the baggage transfer online before the cruise with the port valet, however I found out that will not happen unless you fill out the paperwork again on the ship, so I don't advise signing up online because the port valet apparently does not communicate with the ship regarding the luggage handling.
