Review summary

Discovery Princess is a great ship with wonderful staff. You can't go wrong.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy, fast. Got into ship at 10:45am and into stateroom at 12:15 pm.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
They were all great. Food on the Discovery was the best we've had of our 3 other Princess cruises on different ships. Dining room service was fabulous. Food quality very good in all dining venues - except Crown Grill specialty restaurant. We had heard from several passengers that it wasn't good but we went anyway. It was always good in the past. But it was not good- cold food, flavorless steaks, sides that I couldn't eat, and a rude waiter. Princess did refund our cost (39.00pp.) Other than this, Food was good across the board.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
So many things to do, expertise director and staff.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Large production shows were great- but there were only 2 of them. Other shows were mediocre soloists and illusionist.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Friendliest staff we've ever experienced and we've been on many cruises. They seem happy.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Gorgeous new ship- lovely staterooms. Only downside is that there are no quiet outside or inside sitting areas. Also- our only big complaint that everywhere we went it was so crowded with wall to wall people. This was a first for us compared to our other cruises.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Clean, new, beautiful, comfortable, well laid out.

Ship tip

Arrive early to embark. Have a plan fir first and ladt day. Rush immediately upon embarkation to Sanctuary if you wish to reserve it or it will be full.

Ports of call

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

4 out of 5
Always fun to walk around the marina or go to the beach.

Mazatlan, Mexico

5 out of 5
The port has really improved. Fun shopping and restaurants right at terminal. Many excursions. We enjoyed a horseback ride on Stone Island.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
Always nice. This time we visited a silver mining Colonial town called San Sebastián. Las Caleb's Beach is a must see. Walking Malecon is fun. Lots of other excursions.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Off ship at 8:30 with self assist (luggage.)
