MattnTricia Posted November 14, 2022 #334 Share Posted November 14, 2022 HBCcruiser - Thank you so much for this thread. We will be getting on next Saturday and you have gotten us super excited to be on this beautiful ship. Any chance you have a copy of the lotus spa menu and or have you seen any info on the patters about spa specials on port days? Thanks again for this fantastic thread.

The snacks were quite good and so were the margaritas. Was a nice time. On the 7-day Mexican Riviera cruise, which night is the Fiesta Party usually? Thanks!

Not many were dressed up in white and gold. I wonder if Princess will fade it out being the show was a flop. 🤔 They need to bring back the champagne pyramid.

Rare HBCcruiser Posted November 14, 2022 Author #339 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Food was better! Lobster was very good and so were the sides. IMO get the lobster at CG and the filet at Sur La Mer. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HBCcruiser Posted November 14, 2022 Author #340 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Dessert was yummy! I usually go with a chocolate thingy but this was quite good! I’m mixing it up tonight… except for the wine Gotto stick to what I like on that! 😂🥂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare HBCcruiser Posted November 14, 2022 Author #344 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Today I had my final Sabatini’s breakfast and walked off the ship around 7:45 AM and was home by 8:30 AM. The new facial recognition disembarkation procedure for those with passports made disembarkation easy! I like the Discovery. It’s a pretty ship with plenty to do. Even though it was at full capacity, I never felt it that the ship was overcrowded, like on some of the NCL ships. Granted, I booked all of my dinners ahead of time, had CC dining and got to the shows early. Some of the smaller venues got filled up quickly, but this happens on all cruise lines. The Sky Suite was amazing! I loved the perks that came with it and the large balcony. I wish the bedrooms had more drawers and shelves but other than that it was fabulous! My S4 was very nice too. The location was nice - close to the lounge yet. Wry quiet. The balcony is too narrow, for my liking, but this is how they designed the newer ships. I can’t wait to try out the new Sphere class Sun Princess! My next cruise is in December with my oldest daughter and some great friends. This will be a hoot! We are doing the Panama Canal partial crossing. My DH and youngest daughter did not want to go - too many sea days for them. Until then, safe travels and happy cruising! 😎🚢😎 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
