A voyage aboard the maiden voyage of Discovery Princess points to a work in progress.
First, some positives. The ship was elegant and appropriately pristine for its maiden voyage, and the filet mignon served at the steakhouse specialty restaurant was cooked to perfection. Our midship balcony cabin and inside stateroom four decks below were clean, quiet and in full working condition. Loved the new wearable technology that enables keyless entry as you approach your floating hotel room. The production show “Rock Opera” was top-notch.
The sound of first-world problems these may make, but we’re talking about a premium cruise line in which loftier standards should be expected over more value-priced Carnival, Norwegian, MSC and Royal Caribbean.
The newest audience-participation game played on Princess ships is an at-sea version of “Deal or No Deal.” The activity is being rolled out across the fleet, and thanks to one Discovery Princess passenger’s birthdate being “3-3-73,” the first top prize was won on the new flagship. She was randomly chosen to go on stage among those in the main theater who spent at least $25 on “case cards.
