Creator's Key Takeaways

This is my honest customer review, sailing on this ship from Los Angeles in 2023.

There's definitely a few things where I think Princess um did really well and better than Celebrity.

We really enjoyed our first night's dinner on board. Great start to the cruise.

In fact, so much so we have booked our next Princess cruise.

Launched in 2022 Discovery Princess is the newest cruise ship from Carnival-owned cruise line, Princess Cruises. This is my honest customer review, sailing on this ship from Los Angeles in 2023. I'm not a celebrity or a travel agent, I'm just a guy that likes to cruise! Cruising can be done in different ways, and I've sailed before on other premium cruise lines like Celebrity and Holland America, so I was interested in doing a comparison between them and Princess. 00:00 Introduction 00:58 Deluxe Balcony room 02:29 The Piazza 03:24 Pool Deck 04:23 Bathroom 04:56 Main Dining Room 05:40 Promenade Deck 06:18 Breakfast 07:03 Piazza and Crooners Bar 09:02 Gelato 09:27 Pool at Night 11:10 Sanctuary 11:48 Spa 12:32 Buffet 18:22 Specialty Dining 19:34 Sushi 19:57 Shops 21:02 Theater 21:26 More Shops 22:08 Pizzeria 24:06 Princess Live & Vista Lounge 24:52 Sports Court 26:21 Pool Deck Food 26:51 Laundry 27:05 Summary For more information about this cruise including menus, photos, and daily event listings visit my blog: https://letsallcruise.com/f/cruise-review-discovery-princess-80s-themed-west-coast-getaway I was sailing on a 4 day round trip cruise from Los Angeles, visiting San Diego and Ensenada in Mexico. This was a special 80s Themed West Coast getaway. The Eighties are my favorite decade, and clearly lots of other people agreed! We sailed from the Los Angeles World Cruise Center, which regularly handles Celebrity, Royal Caribbean and Princess. Carnival sales from nearby Long Beach itself. We stayed in a Deluxe Balcony cabin, just a little bigger and a little more expensive than the regular balcony staterooms. We mostly ate in the Main Dining Room, which was good sometimes and often very slow for service. What did this cruise cost? For a deluxe balcony cabin, the total price for 2 people was $1250 including tax. We added on Princess Plus which took the total price to $1730. This was an eighties themed cruise! What did that mean for entertainment? The main thing were some 80s tribute bands like Journey and Bon Jovi. There were also 80s themed trivia, and a dance class to learn the Thriller dance. A lot of people were there just for a normal cruise, and if you hadn't been looking you probably wouldn't even notice. There definitely were a decent number of people onboard because it was 80s themed, but you could usually tell them apart from everyone else because they'd be wearing a jazzy colored shirt, an MTV t-shirt, and sometimes, a mullet wig! Discovery Princess is based in Los Angeles, where she goes on Mexican Riviera itineraries, and spends the Summer in Alaska, including Seattle and Vancouver. Discovery Princess is Royal Class ship. Other ships in that class include Enchanted Princess, Sky Princess, Majestic Princess, Regal Princess, and Royal Princess.
