Discovery Princess - Mexican Riviera Getaway
Discovery Princess's winter home run: a week from the San Pedro cruise terminal in Los Angeles hitting the three classic Mexican Riviera ports back-to-back-to-back. An afternoon-to-evening anchorage at Cabo San Lucas is followed by full days in Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta, then two lazy sea days northbound along the Baja coast.

What Travelers Say About Discovery Princess
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Discovery Princess sailing. Distilled from 193 traveler threads, Cruise Critic member reviews and travel blogs.
Discovery Princess is the newest and most polished member of Princess Cruises' Royal-class trio (alongside Sky and Enchanted Princess), debuting in March 2022 and benefiting from every refinement the line learned across the earlier sisters. U.S. News rates it 4.4 out of 5 from 425 reviewers and ranks it the number-one ship in the entire Princess fleet. The vibe is classic, relaxed, and adult-leaning - elegant rather than flashy - anchored by the gorgeous three-deck Piazza atrium and the company's signature MedallionClass technology that lets you order drinks, food, and services to wherever you happen to be on board.
What People Love
- Newest ship in the Royal-class line (debuted March 2022), so finishes feel pristine with lighter, brighter cabin decor that makes rooms feel larger
- Top-ranked Princess ship on U.S. News with a 4.4/5 score from 425 reviewers, the highest in the fleet
- MedallionClass tech is genuinely useful here - order food and drinks to your exact location, skip lines at embarkation, and find your travel party on a map
Common Complaints
- Internet via MedallionNet is the most common complaint - reviewers describe it as slow and sporadic at sea despite the marketing
- At 3,660 passengers the ship can feel crowded, with limited seating reported at popular entertainment venues and busy elevators
- Some longtime Princess loyalists feel the line has trimmed the experience - more guests but amenities sized like smaller older ships
