Review summary

Very disapointed, was no the kind of trips I like, we lost or money on this trip specially since they cancel the Skagway port that was the most important on this cruise, and the capitan to compensate our lost he give us 10% off the jewery store on the ship (this is the most stupid way to compensate)

I've been on the Discovery Princess twice and never had the same food every night except for the Princess favorites. 10% off jewelry for missing a port is not how it works. BTW, the work Skagway is translated to "A windy place" so if it's too windy to dock safely, the captain will not risk colliding with the port. Also read your cruise contract, it states clearly that ports can and will be missed for various reasons.

Sorry you didn’t enjoy your cruise. Sometimes, due to reasons beyond control of the captain, they have to miss going into some ports. While it’s disappointing, it’s a chance you take with any cruise. I have never heard of any discounts offered for this.
