    Come take a look at Princess Cruises' last ever Royal Class ship Discovery Princess as we give you an in depth 4K ultra high definition tour of all her public areas, including all the changes Princess have made since the launch of Enchanted Princess in 2020. We spent a week on her cruising the Californian coast and we think she's the best Royal Class ship yet!

    The ship looks beautiful and your tour is excellent, I have not been on a Princess cruise in about 10 years, but, always enjoyed them. Surprised that they would change the name of the pizzeria from Alfredo's to Gigi's, but, it looks fine and I'm sure the pizza is still the best at sea. The Fitness Center looks very nice and is quite large. The one on Celebrity Apex looks about the same size and I thought it was the biggest I had seen. I really like all the venues on the ship and it definitely reminds me of my many cruises with Princess. Looking forward to the Dining Guide.

    I just got off this cruise ship on Oct 22nd. Very easy embarkation process in Long Beach IF you have already completed your process online or with the Princess app. When you have a GREEN status, you skip the line and go directly to the Medallion and on to the ship.
    Very nice ship and we have a couple of positive notes like the fact it is brand new, the ship has a free laundry (washer and dryer) on each level, large commun spaces, 3 pools, amazing food and the prices for coffees and drink is affordable compare to other cruise companies. Celebrity was and will always be the worst, I was paying 13$ usd for 2 Americano on Celebrity compare to 5$ usd on Princess so enjoy this cruise ship guys.

      You’re right, indoor venues are pretty much limited to the atrium venues 😞 These are nice but might not afford great views if sailing in Alaska, you’d probably have to wrap up warm and venture to the outdoor upper decks.

    Yes, I use the internet cafe when I need to manage important business-related email correspondence. I find using cell phone is not my favorite device for communication that involves more than a sentence or two that needs to be precise and highly accurate. Also, from my perspective, the internet connection in the cafe is always fast and reliable which is not always the case with my cellphone. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Android OS. My wife uses an IPhone 13'sh and we both have random connection issues during all of our cruises. However, the staff at the Internet Cafe are more than willing to get our phones re-connected and working again.

    I'm a solo cruiser, and I booked a standard balcony cabin for myself with the Premeier Package for March 2024 going to the Mexican Riviera.
    I'm looking forward to it very much. I've done three cruises before, all Carnival, two last year, and I'm a little tired of the "fun ship" atmosphere. It can be fun, but it also lacks any character. I decided to go a little more upscale this time and I'm making myself enjoy a more relaxing time as opposed to constant activity, though there is plenty of stuff to do on the Discovery. I hope it goes well!

  • @richardjohnson5882

    I love the updated, modern design, more light and less dark wood. It doesn't look ideal for Alaska, with no covered pool areas--the forward free viewing area of the Hollywood Conservatory on Majestic is much nicer. Still, I just booked Discovery for a Cabo trip in September, and it should be quite lovely, especially the wake view pool, which looks to go right to the edge of the ship. BTW, Juneau is pronounced DJOO-no, not the Frenchified zhoo--NO.

    Here’s to hoping Princess’s next generation of ships address the one major flaw on Royal-class ships: the lack of an outside promenade deck at lower levels. After being on MSC Seaside and NCL Bliss, Royal-class seemed to be more of a floating shopping center than a ship.

  • @Clavo702

    We were on this ship a couple of weeks ago. The ship is beautiful, but the sailing as a whole left a lot to be desired. Princess had always been a great cruiseline, but that has changed and it shows. From the app and new tech not working, to the difference in food quality to the difference in service. Sadly, this will be our last cruise with Princess. Being owned by Carnival shows.

    Thank you so much. I prefer Gelatos to ice cream, there is a difference as Gelatos are lighter and more creamy. We love Alfredo’s , so is GiGi’s the same and still has no fee? I see the ship was in SFO, so wonder where you went from there. The ship looks beautiful, we are Elite with Princess and enjoy their wide expanse of itineraries. We have not cruised since Aug 2019 when we did a Princess Baltic cruise, have been too afraid with Covid, but are booked on the Emerald Princess for Dec 18 2022 on a Panama 15 day cruise LAX to FLL, so will see how we feel about travelling in September when our final payment is due. We have another Princess booked for Feb 2024 for South America. We like Celebrity too and have a Europe one booked for May 2023 to use a credit from an early Covid cruise in Asia in Feb 2020. We live in Vancouver and are ex pats from the UK. We always enjoy your videos, so professional and have great footage. So thank you so much.

  • @guycherry7978
    @guycherry7978 Рік тому

    OK you aked for comments: The Discovery looks beautiful. We’ve been on most of the royal class ships so not too many surprises in terms of layout. Observations:
    - Great the Crooners is back! Although it cuts down on music in the piazza - see below.
    - Looks like a few more welcome hot tubs.
    - Hope that the Vines replacement is still a good place to sit as overflow in the Piazza - where we spend a lot of time and seating is limited.
    Also we have somewhat unique requirements - we cruise to dance and the only place in the royal class ships is the piazza (Vista is often dark and empty - we feel like its where bands go to die). So we’re really better off on the Emerald/Ruby/Diamond which have that nice Wheelhouse bar and the Explorers Lounge. I would think even if you’re not prioritizing dancing those lounges are more enjoyable than places on the royal class to ‘lounge’. Sky and Discovery have the ‘Take Five’ lounge which is ok but there we run into jazz bands that would rather show off their chops than just play a nice rumba/foxtrot/etc.
    Also just to be bore I have other complaints about royal class ships compared to the older ships:
    - I mentioned no Wheelhouse or Explorers
    - No walk around outdoor deck - a lot of people enjoy walking or reading outdoor deck 7
    - No Skywalkers which is a great quiet place to hang out and sit sometimes
    - Sometimes no Crooners - I’m not seeing much demand for Bistro Sur La Mer - seems they would make a lot more money with the Royal/Regal crooners bar…?
    - I kind of like that aft pool on the Emerald though we enjoy that large aft deck on the royal class for buffet meals so that’s a toss up.

    • @visitwithus
      @visitwithus  Рік тому

      Thanks for your great comments Guy. I'd agree, if you're into dancing, then the Royal Class aren't optimised for that. lol at the jazz band 'showing off their chops' because that's so well observed. :D The promenade deck is sorely missing.

    After sailing on both the Regal and Royal Princess do not recommend having a balcony under the sky bridge. No privacy. Have just booked a suite on the Discovery for the fall and are a touch worried about the overhang which may or may not block out the sun while one is on the balcony. We'll see? We did enjoy the others I mentioned. Oh, off on the Royal, again, in June this year

    Ship looks exactly like the Sky Princess that I was on. Which is a fairly boring “old school” ship, which was odd considering it just came out in 2020. I hated the Spa on that ship, they only had like 8 of those hot chairs and it was small and all windowless. Felt like I was in a “dungeon.” I did love the idea of the Medallion.
