I have booked Discovery Princess for March 2026 and I have got Crown Princess booked for the Circumnavigation around Australia in September - October next year, I can't wait to do those two cruises woohoo 🥳🥳🥳🥳
We have done many a cruise on Princess and would be keen to try Discovery but would prefer to see a little more innovation in itineraries like perhaps a cruise through the Philippines or maybe less visited parts of Indonesia. The itineraries that I am seeing are pretty much the same old same old.
She is coming here from Singapore so perhaps you could fly there and cruise around Asia before coming to Sydney. I agree re the destinations from Sydney, how many times do we want to go to Fiji and N.Z ?
@@suerobinson844I think we have to accept that American lines aren't interested in passenger satisfaction, because a lot of cruisers are only occasional cruisers - they are more interested in keeping costs down. I've finally accepted that I might have to look at relocation cruises and fly at least one way to or from back-to-back cruises
Scotty and I are on the delivery cruise next year. We have done a few Princess cruises now and they are certainly giving Celebrity a run for your money. Will be interesting to see how "crowdeed " it is because we found Majestic to never have enough seating. Love your Christmas tree and the orchids are looking fabulous. Cheers
We have booked Discovery for a Southern Australia cruise in February/March 2026 and cannot wait. Like you, we were so disappointed to learn that she is not returning in 2026/2027.
We've cruised on Discovery Princess along the N.A. coast & Mexico. To each his own, but we enjoyed Discovery so much that for us it has become the standard other ships are measured by. Hope you like it as much.
Loved 360 dining. Did it on Enchanted last year, although it was for Suite guests or by Management invitation only at no cost. Without doubt one of the very best dining experiences we've ever enjoyed. I'm pleased they've opened it up to one and all on Discovery
I have booked a cruise on the "Discovery Princess" ( Princess +) on January 2026, sooo looking foreward to it. A balcony room, the ship looks fantastic and thank you for the tour and insight.
looking forward to our cruise on the 3rd of January 2026 on her its always adds to the excitement being on a different ship rather then the same ship all the time , i with the cruise lines would swap the ships around more often
Very interesting to see some of the changes to Discovery from Royal. I think Princess Live changes would be better than the Royal setup. Interesting remark that her voyage from Singapore will be straight out of dry dock. Crown was due to leave Singapore around the same time but had to change due to dry dock issues at the time, wonder if they double booked the two ships but Discovery got priority. Thanks for another good video Adrian.
She is definitely beautiful however the itineraries are disappointing, unless you fly to Singapore to cruise SE Asia before coming to Sydney. Then we have to fly to Singapore and Brisbane from Sydney. Once again Princess has overlooked Brisbane. 😢 Congratulations on another great video Adrian, you covered everything. 🎉 ❤ Sue
Another great review Adrian, we have never sailed on Princess in Australia, How long will the Season be in 2025 for Discovery Princess while in Australia 🇦🇺 Thank's Anne 🛳
Currently on Royal as we watched your video. Although an older ship she has run well over the two weeks we have been aboard to NZ and back. We are booked on Discovery for Feb 2026 and excited for the opportunity. Our biggest disappointment is the Sanctuary being a fee based amenity. I expect this will also happen to Majestic when she goes into dry dock soon. Goodbye Hollywood Pool Club being free for all. Thanks for your review.
Thanks for this Adrian. You have sold me on Discovery and I am on the lookout for a good itinerary when she comes to Australia. Which package did you have when you sailed on her?
Adrian how would it be for a solo cruiser on this ship? Do they do anything for solo cruisers like Cunard do? Great review. Made me want to sail on her. Thank you.
I travelled on the Enchanted which I think is very similar if not identical. They had daily unhosted meetups. My quible as one who likes peace and quiet is that I found the public spaces a bit noisy and chaotic. On the smaller ships, the Piazza was often a pleasant place to sit. Not here. And all the lounges surrounding the Piazza were flooded with noise. And no Promenade Deck. The Sanctuaty, however, was gorgeous and the buffet really excellent with lots of seating.
At the start, when you were name dropping the "many new ships", how many of those actually _lasted and stayed_ here, instead of being one season blow throughs? 11:49 Chaptering of this video is missing. I have checked it on Chrome and Firefox, in Windows and Linux, and in the RUclips app on multiple Android devices.
Great question! Of those I name dropped, only one “blew through” after a single season: Resilient Lady. Thanks! The upload didn’t include the chapters for some reason but I’ve now fixed this.
We Like princess. The renamed P&O to Carnival should look at Princess and Carnival, with free Hamburgers, Hotdogs, pizza & icecream.... Thanks for the Video Mate
@dlgregory35 depends what fair You pay? I'd argue Carnival base fair works out cheaper than P&O... Then you need to dip into Your pocket every time you want fast food for lunch....
@@roberthamilton1301 Hi well I do disagree with you although I would think not too much in the difference but as you may know, Carnival are closing P&O Australia and putting two ships under the Carnival brand ,to me and others this seems to mean they are not getting enough money out of P&O Australi. No idea about P&O UK but I do know P&O went from a top line down to terrible when Carnival took over.
One of the main reasons my wife and I cruise is for the live music and to dance the night away. I was disappointed to see your review brushed over the live music with one sentence.
Adrian so many cruises only to B=New Zeaand been there done that far too many times and well before yu were born these people who run cruise one cannot see beyond their noses.

We'll be on Crown with you in 25, and again in September 26
We'll no doubt cross paths on the circumnavigation cruise.
Love your reviews. Honest good and bad
Just finished around Australia on Crown Princess and booked Discovery Princess to New Zealand January 3026

Cant wait, we are booked on her inaugural cruise to Australia from Singapore.
Nice! She'll be fresh from dry dock then too.
Thanks Adrian. Discovery Princess NZ cruise booked for February 26, followed by 2 weeks on Sun Princess in September 26 8-)
Amazing! That'll be a very unique experience, going from Discovery onto Sun - two of the newest but also two very different ships.
I wish we had more Ships coming to Fremantle. Now P&O have gone we have no short cruises anymore 😔

When I win Lotto I will book that Sky Suite! And I will keep you in mind!

Booked in march 26 too

What is this thing abiut older ship doubt you cannot see the difference between a new ship.

Are yu feeling ok? They are not free you pay for them in your cruise fare.
@dlgregory35 depends what fair You pay?
I'd argue Carnival base fair works out cheaper than P&O...

I think I packed a lot into one review lol. While I don’t want anyone to feel disappointed, that’s very much outside of my control. Happy cruising.
Adrian so many cruises only to B=New Zeaand been there done that far too many times and well before yu were born these people who run cruise one cannot see beyond their noses.
meh... Just bring the Sun Princess downunder already.
