Twice you mentioned that you were waiting on drinks, and this is my biggest issue with Princess Cruises, they don't have real bartenders. They have people that can follow a recipe and pour a drink, but they don't have people that can service a busy bar. Combined with the ticket system and they end up making one drink at a time, and rather slowly, to the point that my family all ordered two drinks at a time this past July on the Ruby. But honestly, I have no clue if other cruise lines do it better, but it seems like an easy fix. That being said, I just booked a 7 day cruise on the Discovery in March. :) Nice vid!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I've sailed twice on Royal Caribbean since sailing on princess and the service was far better. Faster and friendlier.
This is a ship we know nothing about, so your vlog did a great job of introducing us to the Discovery and its west cost itinerary; both of which we like the look of. Your videos are so detailed and really give a rounded view and review of the key points we all need in deciding to book a particular ship or cruise line. Looking forward to seeing more of your channel Scot.
We took our first Princess cruise in November of 2022 and have our next one for February 2024. You did such a good and well-balanced video here. Our experience was very similar to yours. I just love your pacing and overall delivery.
Nice detailed video. I may mixed information before making a choice to Alaska among Princess and NCL…Does Princess have a sushi bar or Asian restaurant with extra coat or no?
Excellent, calm presentation. It appears as though all of the buffet items are labeled. We have cruised both Princess and Celebrity. Princess is our go to however.
This is by far our most favorite ship of all the cruises and ships we’ve done. We sailed in feb 2022 to the 5 day in Cabo and We were sold after that. Now we’re doing the 7 day Mexican Riviera and the 15 day Hawaii all in the next 6 weeks. I’m so freaking excited! For the Mexico one we have the deluxe balcony and for Hawaii we were able to get a mini suite for a great deal!
Man I'm glad you had a better experience. We just took the cruise sep 3rd food was blan. Desserts were delicious and bread but that's it. Buffet was crazy the whole time couldn't find a place to sit on either side had to ask people to sit with them. Get your seat first or your food will be cold. Third night our state room filled with a sewage smell all night long! Had to sleep with balcony door opened to breath. Call service desk they said they knew and were working on it. Next morning the called to see if it was gone it was but we didn't sleep all night and I got severely sick for the last 3 days. You could smell the sewage smell throughout the cruise in different areas. Gigis was good. First day people trying to sell you stuff is annoying and one staff member tried to sell an upgrade she said total would be 200 total then when we went to sign it was 280. We said forget it. Not a good first cruise experience.
Thanks for video, I like Princess and Celebrity but the latter is getting very uppity with their pricing these days. In fact I do not think we will be able to afford them again, plus when in the booking mode online, at the end there seems to be a huge upgrade price to pay if one wants a refundable deposit. I won’t have that, so c’est fini. I won’t ever visit a zoo, aquarium or anywhere that keeps animals prisoner for monetary gain. Visits just encourage them. Sanctuaries are different. Thx again. Where is your accent from, my friend from Londonderry, N.Ireland says “food” as “fudd” like you. Sorry but it is not “gi gi’s” as in the kids’ name for horses, but the French soft G, like an “sh” sound. The older ships have the name Alfredo’s, and up until this year it was free. Damn nuisance. Take care.

Can't wait to board on this ship next week during the Holidays. It's gonna be so exciting.
Hope you enjoy it! I'm sure you'll have a great trip
We are on Discoveriy in just over 2 weeks and really excited - thanks for your video really enjoyed.
Thank you! Have a great cruise!

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words! Lots more videos coming soon, I just need to find the time to edit them.
Looking at this ship for a 15 day next September out of Seattle, up through Alaska and the TP to Tokyo. Your video has been very helpful.
I'd love to do a ocean crossing one day. Enjoy!

Yes Discovery Princess has a sushi bar for extra cost. I show it in the video.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video.
I was happy to find the HP sauce as well.
Beginning of video weather was great now it getting cold 😮

I'm jealous of you doing the Hawaii trip! Definitely on my bucket list.
Very nice video, Scott! Next time you are in Ensenada, consider taking a ten minute walk to some of the best seafood and street food around.
Thanks! I'll definitely be back there again on another cruise.
Wonderful review and tour. Will be doing California Coastal in few weeks. What is your accent? Very elegant.
Thank you!! I'm originally from Scotland but have been in the US now for over a decade. Enjoy your cruise!
Good video but i love the sound of the people on the ship.Kenneth.
enjoyed your video, was difficult to listen when you’re talking with the background music
I have tried anytime dining and always had issues with service I can’t figure this out 😮

Oh no! I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope this doesn't put you off cruising for good.
I think you'll find that the balcony space is more about what cabin type, and/or deck you are on than what cruise line you are on.
Would have been nice to seethe bathroom!!!

Video is discovery princess not celebrity I’ve lost interest in this video
Good video but your music is too loud in the background.
Thanks for the tip
