Great video, thanks for the info! You may want to update or add notes of some kind as Princess has changed their packages as of August 2023 and Gigi's Pizzaria is no longer free! free! free! (included! included! included!) unless you upgrade to a Plus or Premier package. So sorry for the tea accident, was looking forward to more restaurant reviews!
Great video!!!! Is there indoor seating if you order from Salty Dog or Slice? Just thinking what about when it's really cold outside or rainy, but you want to eat there? Thanks for any insights!
Hi there! I just wanted to compliment you on your package design. As a designer, I found the aesthetics of your branding really well put together. I also appreciate your overall smooth camera work as well as the music tracks you select to accompany your videos. Which cruise ship did you like better for Alaska? Ovation of the Seas or Discovery Princess? I'll be doing an Alaskan cruise next month myself and I'm very much looking forward to it!
Thank you so much! I really like both ships, but they're very different so it really depends on who you're traveling with and expectations. Princess was a beautiful ship but much more laid-back with an older clientele vs Royal Caribbean which is definitely more family-oriented!
I love that omelette station! I usually can only get a vegetable omelette because I don't eat pork or shellfish. I am glad to see the turkey and salmon options!
Immediately subscribed! I love my bagels and lox as well❤ Shocking no cream cheese tho its illegal to not have it. You a coffee type? I'm curious how their coffee is. Burger looks good and simple which i like. 🍦swirl is life. The dinner menu looks good. Im excited to go this late NOV.
Hi! Thank you for subbing! Yeah I was bummed when they said they didn't have cream cheese onboard!!! Luckily they got more later in the cruise lol. I'm not a huge coffee drinker, so I'm not sure how their coffee is.
Thanks for this food tour on the Discovery Princess. I will be sailing in April 2023 and am looking forward to experiencing all the ship has to offer. PS. I hope you have completely healed from your burns. Take care. Happy cruising.
I really enjoyed this vlog - especially the 'free, free, free... included, included, included...' 😅. Up until the hot tea incident, that is. Yikes! Hope that's healed up properly. And I look forward to more of your cruising adventures.
Love your videos. Glad to hear you're on the mend. Do you like Princess better than Royal Caribbean for traveling to Alaska? Safe travels. Can't wait for your next one. Karen
Hm tough question!!! I like them both, but they're very different atmospheres lol. Royal is definitely more family-oriented with a lot of activities going on for all ages, whereas Princess had a much older crowd and was much more of a relaxed vibe :)
What kind of Sail Away party does Ovation have compared with Carnivals sail away parties which is always crazy. A little quieter in Ovation? We're going to Alaska on Ovation in September from Seattle.
When I was on Ovation, it was during the peak of Covid and they were not doing sail away parties at all. But in my experience, sail away is much more relaxed and quiet on Royal and Alaskan cruises and DEFINITELY nothing like Carnival lol Have a great time on your cruise!
Good Morning from NJ! Loved ALL your last few vlogs from the Discovery Princess. Looking around for my Alaska adventure and you really nailed your commentaries! And the food? Don't listen to any complainers. I cruise solo too! Hope you are doing much better after your little tea incident. Stay well and safe!
Great idea for a video - I've actually just done a similar one looking at food on MSC Virtuosa, but great to see the same for Discovery (we're just back from this ship a few weeks back!)
Was on the Alaska sailing from June 12~19 on the Discovery Princess. Seeing all the places we also were at and the food we also ate brings about a serious longing to go back! Enjoyed your vlog! Stay healthy and thanks for the chance to relive the foods and venues 🤙😁
Hi Sarah, it was fully self-serve for my sailing. There were of course employees behind the stations to answer questions or give help if needed though.
Did those metal soup pots contain Grits? They are usually next to Oatmeal and/or cream of wheat. This Southern gal cannot have breakfast w/out my buttered grits.
@@Currentlycarly777 Thanks for the confirmation! For us Southerners grits are paramount to a warm, full tummy! So much so at age 63 I've never eaten cold cereal (corn flakes) nor served it at my breakfast table to kids or grandkids😳
u popped my cherry in terms of watching a princess cruise vlog. do they let u keep the medallion? sorry to hear about the tea incident. i get hungry every time i see the menu. im not a seafood person. i like desserts and land food more. is it easier to get comps on princess vs carnival? wow u got lucky the first night. if that was me i would have splurged it all... vegas style
They do let you keep the medallion! Princess had some really great desserts - I was impressed. I'm not sure how the algorithms work on each of the lines, but I definitely got a better casino offer from Princess after this cruise than I've ever received on Carnival. And yes, it was tough not to splurge after winning in the casino lol
@@Currentlycarly777 i have a feeling you got better comps on princess because you were the top player that trip and the rewards/comps are based on a ranking system. on carnival, there are a lot more guests to compete with. thoughts please?
What did you enjoy better - Ovation of the Seas Alaska Cruise or Discovery Princess? What ship has more things to do and which ship do you feel has the younger families? We are going on Ovation sometime in September 2022
Hi Anthony! For younger families, I'd DEFINITELY recommend Ovation of the Seas more. Royal is wonderful with activities and things to do for kids. I enjoyed my trip on Princess, but it definitely catered to an older crowd.
@@Currentlycarly777 Do you know where can do a PCR test in the Downtown Seattle area? We arrive Seattle 2 days before the cruise on September 2nd. Is that enough time to get a pre-cruise test and get the results on the morning of the 2nd Hopefully.?
Hiii remember me? We met the night that you ate at the French Bistro. I’ve been thinking about that chocolate bar dessert ever since that night!!! I just wanted to drop a note and let you know that I’ve been following along and sharing every one of your videos w my family and my other new friends I met on this cruise. I need to thank you bc you’ve given me a timeline and such for my vacation that I will have for life and it’s pretty cool when I want to show anyone about my trip. So I thank you for this and you do wonderful work. Keep at it 🥰 P.S I’m curious and have to know…did you ever find anyone to give that bottle of wine to? 🤗🤗🤗
Omg, of course I remember you! Thank you so much for sharing my videos!!! And sadly, NO I didn't end up meeting anyone who wanted the wine lol. I ended up telling my room steward I'd like for him to keep it if possible, but Idk if he was able to or not haha.

Oh no! That's disappointing to hear about the pizza :(
Great video!!!! Is there indoor seating if you order from Salty Dog or Slice? Just thinking what about when it's really cold outside or rainy, but you want to eat there? Thanks for any insights!
I am thinking of going solo in Princess as well...
You should! It’s a great experience 😀

Thank you for this vlog! Sailing discovery to Alaska next Yr and your details are so helpful!
Oh man so sorry about the Burn! Very excited for your cruise in Europe! Can’t wait to watch
Thanks so much!! Is your Sept Alaska cruise your next cruise??
@@Currentlycarly777 Yea, feels like its a long ways away but we have lots to keep us busy this summer.

Thank you so much for this review. I love watching short food videos on cruise ships I'm going to sail on soon. Yes, I am a pig, LOL.
Thanks so much for watching! I LOVE watching food videos for places I'm going/cruise ships I'll be on as well so you're not alone!

Thanks so much for watching! I haven't been on MSC Virtuosa (yet)!
@@Currentlycarly777 ah, I’ve got loads coming from Virtuosa on my channel if you’re interested!
Went to Juneau dining room every night. Waiters and waitresses were exceptional!
Glad to hear it!!!

I hope u repond.. is it full self serve buffet at discovery princess.. snd Thank you for your videos
Hi Sarah, it was fully self-serve for my sailing. There were of course employees behind the stations to answer questions or give help if needed though.
I always enjoy these food reviews. Thanks for sharing 😀
Thanks for watching!
So very sorry to hear about your burn accident, those can be painful and dangerous. I'm looking forward to your European cruise!
Thanks so much for watching!
Is there egg substitute? Thank you for your videos
Hi! Yes I believe they can do an egg substitute for you - you would just need to ask one of the employees for it.
Just subscribed.. can’t wait for the Iceland - Ireland - London vlogs
Thanks so much for the sub!

It was! The dessert from the 2nd dinner was AMAZING - would highly recommend it!

Thanks! 😃
Are we going on a Princess cruise? I want to try the pizza and hamburger
Our Sept cruise is Princess
There is no ‘I’ in antipasto
Thank you for letting me know.
bagels and lox again..geeze try new breakfast foods...boring
lol sorry you feel that way
I could eat them every day . I too , don't really do breakfast , so the salmon and bagels sounded amazing to me .
