  1. I am a veggie fan and never seem to get enough on a cruise ship so always ask server for a side order of whatever vegetables they have in kitchen (with a wedge of lemon) Loving this thread and happy I didn't stop reading at the butter posts.
  2. Sorry, but could you tell me what GRT and PSR mean? Thanks.
  3. Thank you, @USCcruisecrazy and others who replied to my post. Princess hasn't disappointed me yet so will not fret about what to expect on the new Discovery . Appreciate all the positive comments and good advise.
  4. I am riveted to this thread of posters' disappointing experiences on Discovery. I am booked on Discovery's Oct 8 sailing to Mexico. This is the first time I've had troubling concerns about an upcoming cruise. I've cruised more than 35 times; mostly on HAL, Celeb and Princess... with a few RCL, Carnival, NCL and Viking tossed in. I usually travel solo in a well situated balcony cabin. This time I booked an additional balcony cabin as a gift for my adult son. It will be his first cruise. I've always managed to "survive" a disappointing cruise by maintaining a good attitude and by avoiding difficult areas, sticking with what works for me. However, now that I've involved another person in my cruise, I'm troubled by so many bad reviews of Discovery. For months, I've hyped to my son all the wonderful experiences I've had on Princess and have been excited about the new Discovery. Based on what I'm reading, I fear this cruise will be a huge disappointment to a newbie cruiser. Hoping in upcoming months Discovery's travel experience will improve, but have come to the point of cancelling and booking with HAL or Celebrity. Really feel stuck between a rock and a hard place.
  5. No backpack. After 40 years of cruising I have lightened up. Tissues stuffed in pants pocket. Credit card, room card/medallion, drivers license (or copy of passport) and cash stuffed in bra. It's all I need. Works for me. Hands free at all times.
  6. Joseph and Christy: Many, many thanks for taking the time to post your experiences on Discovery's Maiden Voyage. I am very excited for you and all your cruise mates today. Bon voyage and best wishes that you enjoy every single minute of your cruise. (patiently waiting for my turn on Discovery's Oct 8 voyage) Chelly
  7. Bon Voyage to everyone on Discovery's Maiden Voyage tomorrow, March. 27.
