Everything was watered down, like the cheese, pizza, sauces. It was horrible. People were going to stores to bring food back onto the ship.

The only reason why I liked this cruise was for the balcony to whale watch.

We got there at like 9pm and all the shops were already closed or closing. It was a seriously wasted stop.

Yes I hear you, we are CURRENTLY in Discovery and can verify everything you said. We are Elite Level on Princess and just sailed in Royal Princess and it was fabulous!!! I beg you to not abandon Princess because if ONE bad encounter... at least choose another from the Princess Fleet and give them another chance. Just my opinion and my Princess experience after 23 cruises on her.

So sorry that you had such a bad experience. We were on the discovery in September and had a great time. Yes the food was a little off, but was still good.

The stop in Victoria, BC is not actually intended for cruisers to see the city. The only reason it is included is to satisfy a legal requirement to stop in a foreign port.
