Creator's Key Takeaways

I would say that the discovery princess is a wonderful ship to take to Alaska

the crew was absolutely fantastic didn't see a cranky crew member in the lot

the live entertainment on board was really good

the volume in the Piaza was really loud you could not carry on a conversation

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try to eat when it's not peak dining time when the ship is full
Make dining reservations as soon as you get on board
Ask for Sunny in the Juno dining room for dinner service
Use the International Cafe for 24/7 food options
Book future cruise deposits while on board via the app
