Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators document a two day preview cruise on the Discovery Princess to evaluate the onboard dining options. They explore a variety of venues including the buffet, a pizza station, the Salty Dog Grill, and the main dining room. During the pizza tasting, they praise the pasta dishes but find the pizza flavors to be lighter than expected compared to other cruise lines. The buffet experience is described as convenient but inconsistent, highlighted by a disappointing encounter with frozen crawfish. At the Salty Dog Grill, they enjoy a fresh, hand-pattied burger, and the main dining room provides a more formal experience with successful dishes like French onion soup and mahi mahi. They also visit the International Cafe for late night snacks. While the creators enjoy the entertainment and the ship's atmosphere, their final assessment of the food is mixed. One creator awards the dining an eight out of ten, while the other feels underwhelmed by the flavors. They conclude that while the ship is beautiful and the service is good, the culinary experience may still require refinement as the vessel begins its regular service.
