船上发现公主:公主的最后一艘皇室船的亮点
经过多里·萨尔茨曼(Dori Saltzman)/beplay客服旅行市场报告编辑多里·萨尔茨曼(Dori Saltzman)本周因其就职赛而在船上发现公主。以下是她对船的想法。
I’m onboard Discovery Princess for its inaugural voyage, a one-week cruise along the Mexican Riviera out of Los Angeles. It’s my third Princess cruise since I returned to cruising this past August. After my most recent sailing, onboard Caribbean Princess, it’s been wonderful getting back to the modern amenities of the line’s Royal-class ships. Something as simple as bed-side USB chargers can make a big difference for this on-the-go editor.
Discovery Princess is the last of Princess’ flagship Royal Class, a class I fell in love with after sailing onboard Sky Princess shortly before COVID-19 shut down the industry. I’ve since been on Regal Princess and Majestic Princess as well.
Discovery Princess是Sky Princess的近碳副本,也是Enchanted Princess的全部副本,但唯一的例外是Discovery有一个全新的节目,可悲的是我们的航行中无法使用。

The Piazza
在任何公主巡游的亮点上,广场在三艘最新的王室船上都更加令人印象深刻,这使得良好的精神进入了该地区。而且,在雄伟和发现上,看到咸狗美食酒吧(Salty Dog Astropub)获得了自己的位置,就在葡萄酒吧过去所在的地方。这是一个很棒的人,看着现场,对于任何喜欢宴会厅跳舞的人来说,这是大多数晚上的地方。
我唯一的痛苦是胃肠道的小时太窄。它只能在晚餐时开放,但可以享用美味的午餐和午后的地方。同样,只有在“表演”时间期间可提供海洋良好的烈酒饮料,如果您看过调酒师以前演示饮料,并且知道哪些是您的最爱,这很令人沮丧。
Specialty Dining
随着咸狗美食酒吧的加入,公主将其特色餐厅带到了皇家级船上的船上:皇冠烤架,Sabatini's,Bistro Sur la Mer,海洋露台海鲜酒吧和咸狗美食酒店。而且,虽然是的,他们确实要额外费用,但价格完全负担得起 - 在Crown Grill,Sabatini's和Bistro Sur la Me的多道菜餐点每人只有29美元!和12美元在Salty Dog Gastropub。Ocean Terrace海鲜酒吧的寿司是一辆单点菜,六卷之一的价格为3.25美元,九个厨师的特色菜之一的价格为18美元。
Of the five, I’ll choose Sabatini’s every time. The food is fantastic, and for $29 you get an appetizer, soup or salad, pasta, entrée and dessert. If you’ve never had a Sabatini’s tiramisu (or tiramisu martini), you’re missing out!
当然,您不必做专业的就餐就可以在发现船上获得美味的食物。主餐厅和自助餐的选择非常好。我也是房间服务菜单的忠实拥护者(大约一半的费用),以及国际咖啡馆的免费三明治和乳蛋饼。
而且,我不能忘记阿尔弗雷多(Alfredo)的公主和探索公主(Discovery Princess)都被更名为吉吉(Gigi)的公主(在Fincantieri造船厂的高管之后)。无论名称如何,它都会免费提供相同的优质披萨菜单。想在海上吃饭吗?在开放时间(通常是上午11:30)之前到达那里,或者是在下午1:30/2之后吃饭。
游泳池
尽管我不是一个游泳池人,但我喜欢Discovery Princess有几个游泳池可供选择。您会在16号甲板上的中期中发现两个游泳池,在16号甲板上的第三个船尾,一个在17号甲板上的静修处。在16号和17号甲板上也有许多热水浴缸。
服用5
I’m a bit more partial to piano tunes, so Crooners has always been more of my jam, but jazz lovers can’t stop raving about the Take 5 jazz lounge. The music is always great and the cocktails are some of the best on the ship. (They were designed by the same mixologist who did the Good Spirits drinks.) The music usually gets started in the early evening, around 6:30-6:45, but the crowd picks up as the hours grow later.
OceanMedallion
让我首先说,我爱,爱,爱所有公主的船上的海洋菜单概念。我喜欢我可以将奖章放入腕带中,并在不必担心钥匙卡的情况下戴上它。无论我在船上,我都会使用该应用程序向我提供饮食cokes。我喜欢能够在船上与邮轮朋友聊天,或者如果找不到他的丈夫。
I also love the new MedallionPay on land option that lets you pay for items and meals at select stores, restaurants, museums and more in ports that Princess visits just with a tap of your Medallion. Not only does that mean you don’t need to carry your credit card into port with you, but you also get 7% cashback as onboard credit for every MedallionPay purchase you make. Participating vendors are still somewhat limited, but more are expected to come onboard. (If you’re a chocolate lover, be sure to check out Cacao Magico in Puerto Vallarta, where you can select from dozens of chocolates and pay with your Princess medallion.)
With all that said, the system remains buggy and, on this, the first sailing of Discovery Princess, it was more so than usual. Throughout the sailing, we were never able to make dinner reservations – not at any of the specialty restaurants and not at the main dining rooms. The JourneyView functionality, which is supposed to show you the day’s (and full week’s) schedule never loaded. We were given paper copies of the schedule every day, but for those of us who like favoriting activities to build a personal calendar, the paper schedule just doesn’t cut it.
使用该系统的机组人员还继续存在一些培训问题。而不是扫描我的奖章,我被要求提供我的机舱号码。我有一天早上我还没有去过美食室,但我发现我的作品集中有一件事。这是Medallionpay不应该发生的事情!
Misses
考虑到我习惯了以前在船上建造的新船设计,因此在船上发现公主并找到近较早的船舶的近碳副本令人失望。令人惊讶的是,巡洋舰一直抱怨永远没有解决的一些事情。
Why, for instance, is there still a shower curtain in a standard room and not a glass door? Why has the line not added some extra shelving in the bathroom or in the main cabin? Seeing how other cruise lines are learning to make the most of every bit of space in cabins, leaves me scratching my head that Princess hasn’t done the same.
我也很惊讶地发现我的房间管家每天一次为我的机舱提供服务。(在最后一个海上发现,从其他人那里发现,我可以每天要求两次或使用电视“订购”转折服务。)
然而,抛开了一些失望,探索公主辜负了皇家公主阶级邮轮奉献者的期望。
