Review summary

We just got off the Discovery Princess for the second time. It was a great trip. Embarkation was very easy. It was maybe 15 minutes from arrival to being on the boat. We found the ship to be very clean and well maintained, although it is only a year old. The staff were very friendly. Our room steward Mary Claire was awesome. She remembered our names from the first meeting. She was very attentive and did a great job. The room was a mini suite and was the nicest I have had on a cruise ship. Dining was very good as well. The main dining room is good, not excellent. The prime rib I had on the last night tasted fine but was kind of rubbery as if it had been reheated multiple times. Service was always good in the dining rooms. The buffet was good each time we went but it is a challenge to find seating during peak times. Bistró Sur La Mer was very good but not as good as the Crown Grill. The Crown Grill was fabulous as usual. We enjoyed trivia and game shows many times. The cruise director, Duvaul, is funny as was Phillip the assistant director. We did not use the kids facilities or try bingo. We did make use of the Enclave spa. It is amazing. My only complaint there is that people hoard the heated tile loungers. It is the same problem people complain about on the pool deck but is worse because there are only 12 loungers in the Enclave. Cabo was what one would expect and the only complaint there was the tender line was long to get back to the ship but it still went pretty quick. This time the app and internet worked much better than it did on the last trip on the Discovery. It is still a quirky app and the internet is slow but for my needs it was fine. My only issue with debarkation was that it occurred and we had to get off. It was an easy process but I would have preferred to stay aboard. Great trip and can’t wait for the next one.
