I agree with you regarding the Take Five Lounge. I was a frequent solo patron there on two Sky Princess cruises. Great music, drinks, and service there every time.

I loved the ship, what it offered in entertainment, the food :), staff is so friendly and nice, and they lots to offer! We got the Princess Package and it was great value. I would most definitely go again and planning for another trip. Well worth it and very happy :)

Hi Wade! Wade here too. I hope you had fun with my friend Cole the Cruise Director. Great vid. I travel princess a lot and did the 2023 World Cruise. It was amazing

I will also be doing a solo cruise on Discovery Princess next October. I have no excursion booked for Mazatlán and as a solo traveler I worry about that, being on my own and be bothered by street sellers or taking a taxy to the centre. Maybe I’ll book something. I’ll also go on the same luxury sailboat in Cabo San Lucas. That will also be fun! I’ll be on this cruise inspired by the Love Boat series and due to the fact that the stops/ports are the same. I grew up watching it and always dreamt of being on that ship. Well, it won’t be the same ship, but that’s close enough.

The history is definitely there. They even have a shrine to the original Love Boat alongside Guest Services that is quite heartwarming. Wishing you a great cruise!

I cruised on Discovery Princess to Alaska's Inside Passage, and found the quality of the ship to be absolutely fantastic! Interesting to hear you talk about some of the changes following the launch of Sun - will be interested to see how the 'standard' Princess model's going to change in the future after the learnings from that ship are clearer...

@SoloCruiseTravel 3 ай бұрын

The quality is indeed outstanding. And no doubt there will be even more changes to come. The Sun looks like such a unique pivot for Princess. Looking forward to seeing her up close and personal soon.

What Princess ship do you prefer? Have you ever done the Mexican Riviera route on Discovery Princess before??

Beautifully done review, thanks so much. We’ve been on the Discovery 3 times and we’ll be on her again soon. My husband and I prefer Princess when we travel by ourselves. We prefer RCCL when cruising with our grandkids, since they offer oodles of activities onboard breaded for younger people.

Your words mean so much to me, thank you. She is a great ship and Princess a lovely brand. Appreciate your feedback and you watching.

Wow. Wow. That was great! When did you sail? I was on Discovery Princess - solo - in late Jan / early Feb (2024), similar itinerary but reverse of yours. I loved Discovery Princess! For me service is where Princess gets it right. I have differing opinions about specialty dining and the "packages" but this is your video - not mine - so I'll keep my opinions to myself. I look forward to your video concerning your mini-suite - I had a mini-suite, also, and loved it - and I am very grateful for all the details you provided on excursions. I'm booked on Majestic Princess for 10 days to Mexico in November; your video - and others - are helping me determine what I'll do different next time. For now, let me say that your video was 30 minutes well-spent and I'm grateful - particularly as a solo cruiser - for the effort you put into it. 👍

They are showing episodes of The Love Boat from the 1970's on TV now. Reruns, of course. Great shows, but a little dated.
