Reviewer read
A solid, middle-of-the-fleet ship. Not one of its best values.
Discovery Princess rates higher overall than 60% of the ships we track. Fitness is its strongest showing. The weak spot is value.

The one caution
6.7out of 10 for value
Higher than only 33% of ships. The typical ship scores 6.96.
Everything else, in two lines
Seven are good without being remarkable: fitness, cabins, ship quality, entertainment, activities, disembarkation and public areas. They rate higher than 54% to 83% of ships.
Family sits in the middle of the fleet too, but only 85 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.
Four fall below the fleet: dining, embarkation, service and value. They rate higher than 33% to 42% of ships.
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.59 and 8.92. Pick on price and position, not on rating.

What we can’t tell you
- How it suits older travelers

- Too few reviewers mentioned accessibility here.
- Whether it's good value today
- Reviews describe the fare people paid, not the one you'll be quoted.
