Review summary

Princess does a great job in both the itinerary and value. We cruise with them more than any other cruise line. The service on this cruise was the best we have ever had.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was quick and hassle-free for us because we used the Medallion App to green light everything we needed to do before we arrived.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food in all areas was good and plentiful. There was variety for all tastes.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Activities were plentiful, but we were there just to relax and didn't participate in a lot of these activities.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The entertainment was great with a lot of variety. We enjoyed the comedians the most, but there were a few vocalists that we also enjoyed.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff and crew of Discovery were the best that we have experienced. They were all extremely friendly, polite, and professional.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
This ship was extremely easy to get around on and is well laid out for a large ship. I miss the Promanade Deck that you can walk around. You can't do this on Discovery.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Our balcony cabin was very clean and was well designed. The beds weren't as comfortable as they were in the past, but they were acceptable.

Ship tip

Download the Medallion App and use it. The App has been drastically improved from its original. We upgraded to plus to include internet, drinks, and gratuities. Even though we don't drink a lot, it was worth it.

Ports of call

San Pedro (Los Angeles), California

We did the e-bike tour on the beach and considered this the best tour.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Disembarkation went smoothly for the number of people that were onboard.
