Great video. I’ve been on 43 Princess cruises. In the past we were not allowed to shoot any video during any Production Shows. Are we now allowed to do this as I shoot a lot of photos & videos? I agree with you about the dress code for dinner. It use to be on Formal Nights you couldn’t enter any of the main dinning rooms unless you were properly dressed. I hope that they will bring this back.
About shooting video in the production shows (or any shows) I ask the cruise director and let them know I am just shooting a snipit to put on RUclips....I have never been turned down. I just don't know what has happened with people being too lazy to dress up at all. Two weeks ago I was on a Holland America two week cruise in the Greek Isles. It was supposed to be an older crowd and at the table next to us each night (Traditional dining with set time) there were two couples. Each night the guys wore old tee shirts...just horrible. It was interesting that the dining time was 7:30 and each night they were between 15 to 20 minutes late. On the 5th night, 25 minutes passed and they gave away the table to some other people. They showed up at 8:00 o'clock and their jaw dropped seeing their table gone. That gave me a laugh and they were never late after that. Thanks for watching.
We had a little delay in travel and we are back. Doing a transatlantic cruise May 1st and then traveling Europe, gathering a lot of content in the 5 weeks we will be gone. Glad you liked the review and it was a great ship!
You have a lot to be excited about. A beautiful ship and going to beautiful Alaska....Princess does it right when it comes to Alaska. Hope you have a blast and thanks for watching!
Love the positive video! I am sailing on Discovery in August. From looking at the deck plans, I don't see a deck that lets you walk the whole parameter of the ship. The Promenade Deck appears to stop before going all the way forward and aft. The Sky Deck appears to have a walking track in the aft. On this upcoming Princess cruise, I will be Platinum, but I don't think that includes many perks. Too bad I couldn't all the cruises I took to Princess :). Thank you for this video!
Yep, you are correct that the Promenade Deck does not go all the way around like other ones. I really enjoy that, but there is a good walking track up topside. You will love the ship. Thanks for watching!
Yes, we did the Pirate snorkel cruise tour out of Cabo. It was actually quite nice with an open bar, some okay food and they put on a corny show which we loved. At Puerto Vallarta we did an all day snorkel/beach tour also with an open bar and great sandwiches you made yourself. Went to two different beaches which were both nice and they had an optional hike. They also put on a corny show and we loved that one also....but it could be the booze talking? Overall a very, very nice time. Thanks for watching!
Two questions: 1) Is there a full promenade deck that you can walk around the ship? 2) In the buffet, how impossible is it to find a seat? We were on a Celebrity cruise last month and the area was so crowded that it took a minimum of 10 minutes to find a seat at nearly anytime near meal service? After two cruises on the Regal Princess out of Galveston, we are booked on the Seattle - Singapore run next October.
@@jlawrence0181 So many ships now I am starting to forget….I believe this promenade deck goes all around the ship. The buffet was very crowded and it was tough finding a seat. I am seeing that more and more with the large ships. The Seattle to Singapore will be a nice run!!
Thanks. Actually a lot of people like the music and I do try to keep it low. Sometimes all the people and noise get in the way of the narriation. Thanks for watching!

Really nice and fair review of this ship Pat. Glad to see you posting videos again 😊

You have a lot to be excited about. A beautiful ship and going to beautiful Alaska....Princess does it right when it comes to Alaska. Hope you have a blast and thanks for watching!
Such an informative tour!
Thanks.....I do like letting people know what to expect so there are no surprises.

Would love to try, especially with the upgrades.
Thanks....it is a wonderful ship with great service and some great food. Very happy with this one! Thanks for watching!
One of the best videos I have seen on the Princess Discovery ship. Did you do any excursions?
Yes, we did the Pirate snorkel cruise tour out of Cabo. It was actually quite nice with an open bar, some okay food and they put on a corny show which we loved. At Puerto Vallarta we did an all day snorkel/beach tour also with an open bar and great sandwiches you made yourself. Went to two different beaches which were both nice and they had an optional hike.

Great video, thank you! We've booked the Discovery for Alaska. Do you recall if Zumba is offered in the Fitness Studio?
I asked my wife and she confirmed that they were doing Zumba every morning in the atrium of the ship. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
@@patsadventures6381 OMG!!!! Yes!!!! I'm a Zumba instructor so any chance I can get my daily fix.... thank you and thank your wife for confirming!
Great review! Thank uou
Stephanie - thanks so much for watching and the lovely complement! Glad you liked it. Take care.
do the dining rooms offer gluten-free items?
They sure do. Just make sure you tell your waiters about any food restrictions you might have. Thanks for watching!
Good video, but why have music, it's nice to hear the sounds of people,Ken.
Thanks. Actually a lot of people like the music and I do try to keep it low. Sometimes all the people and noise get in the way of the narriation. Thanks for watching!
