Many are parked in the hallways. At least for this scooter they can park it outside of the door of the Mini-Suite. The walked could/should be folded and brought inside the cabin but.....This was on our recent Discovery Princess cruise.

Absolutely in a good way. Lots of good, live music, shows and parties in the Piazza area. Example....pre-dinner - music in the Piazza for 45 min, as soon as that stopped there was music in Crooners Bar (one floor up) and after that 45 min set more again in the Piazza. They also had Take 5...a good size Jazz Club plus Crown Bar and the Vista Lounge with live music in all those venues and, in addition, for Vista Lounge some pre-recorded Ballroom dance music every evening.

We're just back from a 15 nt RT Hawaii cruise on Discovery Princess. We've cruised RCI and Celebrity since 1987 and can only say WOW! about the entertainment offerings on Discovery Princess.

Currently on 15nt Hawaii with Premier and it's 2 nts Specialty with Premier.

Wines on Plus Pkg are shown by Varietal. Premier are listed by name. Haven't seen Rombauer or Ferrari Carano by the glass but, in addition to those in the photo we've enjoyed Seghesio Zinfandel and Flowers Chardonnay with Premier pkg. W/Premier pkg Caymus is $8/glass + gratuity and was available in Crown Grill and Salty Dog pub. Another plus is with Premier your wine is served is a bigger, nicer glass.

We found out about the Super Tuscan Dinner from the Sommelier but also saw roving crew selling it, the Caymus Winemaker Dinner and a couple of wine tastings. We're told the Super Tuscan Dinner is only offered occasionally and on sailings longer than 10 days whereas the Caymus Dinner is offered on 7 nt + sailings

We're currently on the 15nt RT Hawaii cruise on Discovery. Last night we enjoyed the Super Tuscan Wine Pairing Dinner in Sabatinis. It was a wonderful experience and we felt a good value at $80pp.

Bringing this post back to the top to ask if anyone has recently brought flowers on in San Pedro?

We were just on the Feb 24 Discovery cruise out of San Pedro. Arrived at 10:15am. Did que up for a bit to enter the area for Security the once through Security we entered the main building. The Quonset hut building is where you pick up your luggage after the cruise. We had our Medallions and went right up to check-in. It was a short wait afterward as the ship had not been cleared and guests were in groups.....Elite Boarded 1st, then Suites, etc. Next time we'll wait and arrive around 11am.

MDR staff are very good with any dietary restrictions. Speak to the Head Waiter the 1st night and he'll make sure your granddaughter gets the food she wants/needs.

I had Steak/Lobster on night 6 in the MDR - it's on the menu as Land/Sea and was delicious.

@drwbrt In case you don't have them here are the Gelato and Premium Dessert menus, Coffee menu and Wine List from Sabatini's.

Sabatini's, on Discovery, has Italian Red Wines by the glass

Thanks for your review and postings of menus. Here are day 3, 6 and 7 and the Kids Menu.

Trying to plan Specialty Dining for our upcoming 15 RT San Pedro -Hawaii cruise. Hoping someone can share menus for this longer voyage as I can't see anything in the App.

Just off Discovery and if we got a double pour we were charged for 2 drinks. It was OK for us as we never came close to the 15 drinks/day.

Thanks for all the responses. I was only asking about the how/when/where for Champagne and Canapes as they were noted as Amenities and were something we weren't offered or saw anything about. Definitely didn't miss anything by not having them but if it's supposed to be a Perk of a Reserve Mini-Suite it should at least be offered. We had a nice glass of what we wanted and enjoyed all the great wine offerings on the Premier pkg.

After a few years away from Princess we're just home from the Feb 24 -Mar 2 '24 Mexico cruise. We booked a Reserve Collection Mini-Suite with Premier Package. We really enjoyed the cruise but do have a Questions/Observations about advertised Amenities/Services. Questions... 1. Welcome glass of Bubbly - where is this offered? 2. Premium Evening Canapes upon request. While this wasn't something we wanted how would one go about ordering these? Nothing in the cabin about it nor did our Cabin Attendant ask/offer. 3. Premier Pkg offers "unlimited casual dining meals". Ocean Terrace (DH is allergic to fish/seafood so not an option for us) and Gigi's were the only 2 available as the Salty Dog Gastropub turned into the Crab Shack the 3 Sea Days. Disappointing as we would have like to try this for lunch. Is this typical? Observations... 1. Reserve Collection Dining was outstanding! and definitely a great perk. Food and service was great and being able to go when we wanted was a definite perk we enjoyed. 2. Princess Luxury Bed - let me just say that I'm looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight. 3. Great cabin location 4. We used the touch screen outside the cabin and indicated "service requested" when we left the room...at about 8:15am each morning. Cabin was not done until 11-11:30 each day. We did not see the cabin attendant on day 1 and were in the cabin from about 3:30 - 5:00. We finally tracked him down as we left the cabin on day 2 for pre-dinner drinks. 5. "Complimentary one-time wine set-up on Embarkation Day". There was a bottle of red wine but no glasses. 6. Specialty dining was in Crown Grill & Sabatini's. Service and Food was excellent in both restaurants. 7. Gigi's was a nice venue for embarkation lunch and another time during the cruise when the MDR wasn't open. 8. Lots of music around the ship. It was especially nice to be able to have a pre-dinner drink @ 5:30 pm with musica. Cola Sounds, Mockingbird, Terry McPhee and the Mariachi Band were all good. 9. Loved the wine offerings with Premier Pkg and also that the wine was served in a nice, larger glass. We return to Discovery in 2 weeks for the 15 night Hawaii Cruise and are looking forward to another great experience!

Thanks fot the suggestion....I'll give that one a try.

Amaretto Martini in Crown Grill Bar. Verdict is still in deliberation as to whether I'd order it again.

Enjoying a Dark and Storm at Liar's Club

At Good Spirits Bar...a short wait...and now enjoying my 1st Peach Tree Smash.

I didn't see the sun rise this a.m. but did see a beautiful sunset last night over Catalina Island. The white line was a huge contrail.

Since sunsets are being mentioned I hope it's OK to post this one from today on Discovery Princess RT San Pedro cruise to Mexico. It's sunset off Catalina Island. The white line was an amazing Contrail.

Funny story for us. We were on an Alaska cruise out of Vancouver with my 87yo father and his bride. Leaving our cabins on the way to dinner and the power went off. We procede down the hallway and within a few minutes the power came back on. Since there had been a power issue the ship had to go out into the ocean and not sail up the Inside Passage. Many were not happy but it was a c'est la vie moment for us. Glad your dinner was good and power was only briefly out.
