Creator's Key Takeaways

I recently spent two weeks solo on the Discovery Princess ship out of Los Angeles for my first back-to-back cruise to Mexico

the discovery princess has been deemed as the new loveboat as it cruises the original TV show route

I was made a fan of Princess Cruises because of this very trip and I would absolutely do this Cruise as a solo again

the catch by Rudy at least to me outshined princess's original gold standard of the crown Grill

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't run to the buffet on embarkation day; try the Skagway dining room for a sit-down lunch
Get your breakfast in bed using complimentary room service to enjoy the sunrise from your balcony
Book Princess excursions for safety and guaranteed return to the ship
Use the hidden coffee bar in the buffet area to save time and avoid long lines
Attend the solo gatherings each evening to meet new people at sea
