Review summary

First time on Discovery, fifth Princess cruise overall. So much to love- SERVICE is what keeps us coming back to Princess. West coast operations help as well. Staff goes above and beyond! Miss it already. Enjoy a sunrise, make time to relax and eat everywhere! Be sure to get your dancing shoes out as music at night is fun!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Simple and streamlined. Get to green line on the Medallian app and you will sail straight through. Don’t be cheap, spend the $10 to get your medallion shipped to you in advance if you didn’t pay for a Plus or Premier package.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate everywhere. A few dinners in the main Skagway dining room, as well as a few breakfasts were delicious and service was fantastic. Specialty dining was delicious and we appreciate the extra service and attention to detail. We mainly ate in the Buffet for an omelette at breakfast time.

Ship Quality

Impeccably clean- staff always working. Everything perfect but this non-smoker can’t handle the smells in the casino.

Disembarkation

Easy peasy- paid for transfers to LAX- use a porter- we put bags out night before this time as flights were in the afternoon.

Took that to AK and we also had nothing but the best experiences. The Italian Pasta restaurant in the center of the ship is free and we were served like it was a Specialty restaurant.
