Review summary

My family all had a wonderful time on the Discovery Princess.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Pretty smooth embarkation, can get hectic.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The buffet was the best restaurant on the ship. The options and choices were endless and the food was authentic to their designated cultures. The sit down restaurants were also good, but only for the experience of sitting down because the quality of food is the same as the buffet. My family mostly dined at Skagway.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
It was too cold to swim, but the fitness center was very nice.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We never missed a show, and there wasn’t a single one that wasn’t entertaining. My daughter’s favorite show was the magician, David Gani.

Children's Programs

No children under 17

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Excellent service all around. The staff are very welcoming and helpful people and they try their best to go above and beyond to meet your expectations and allow you to travel comfortably. Our family personally felt this from our cabin helper Wilson, our waiter at Skagway Mancel, our waiter at the buffet Jeff Andal, and the Effy salesman Shad. Wonderful crew and no doubt others felt the same.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship’s layout is confusing at first but the common areas were always clean and well maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
For a cruise this cabin was very comfortable. My children enjoyed the bunk bed layout and the two separate televisions was nice. Our balcony gave us the most amazing views. Very comfortable for a week stay.

@RetiredRay -- I had the same question. A "not bad at all" disembarkation gets only one star? "Excellent service all around" gets only 3 stars? Huh?!?! Is this person just really hard to please?

Not bad at all, but only one star? Weird.
