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

I would absolutely repeat the cruise that we just did absolutely love taking the discovery princess to Alaska

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

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make dining reservations in advance, especially when the ship is full
Try to eat during off-peak times to avoid crowds at the buffet and main dining room
Use the International Cafe for 24/7 dining options when other venues are crowded
Ask for Sunny in the Juno dining room for excellent dinner service

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ship crowds during peak dining timesPlan meals early or late, and use alternative dining venues like the International Cafe
Loud atmosphere in the PiazaBe aware that the Piaza can be very noisy, which may affect comfort
