Promenades On Discovery ! & 2

[janny444]

Hi....are there promenade decks to walk ...and sit...on that one can walk right around the ship?. Also have I understood correctly that there is a swimming pool which is covered on both ships?

 

Is Gallery 47 the Italian restaurant included in the price or is there a supplement?

Extra question

[Chaffesbird]

Yes there is a promenade and also a jogging track. Gallery 47 does not carry a supplement. Yes there is an indoor pool in the guesthouse which serves light lunches and tapas and pizzas in the evening Which Is Also Without A supplement.

Thank you for your reply....can you please tell me which ....if any....of the restaurants are not included in the price and have a supplement?

Is bottled water included in the AI...I know tea/coffee are not

There are promenade decks and a jogging track which is used mostly by walkers. Gallery 47 is open in the evenings with Italian cuisine and is free. It is very popular. The indoor pool is in the glasshouse which has a moveable roof but I believe it is never moved as the area is air conditioned. The pool is adults only in the afternoons. They do free light lunches and pizza/tapas in the evening, again free. There is also an alternative pay for menu with steak on hot lava rock etc etc. There is also a small bar and waiter service.

Steak and Surf and Kora La, both on deck 11, have cover charges. There is also a alternative charges menu in the Glasshouse in the evenings.

 

Bottled water is not included in the AI but if you buy the additional premium package you get 1 1.5 litre bottle per day delivered to your cabins. I got all 7 in one delivery!

Thank you davecttr....what is the price to upgrade to Premium and does that include speciality coffees? When we have done AI before it has included both water & coffees....that is with another cruise line.

What you said about the 7 bottles all being delivered at the same time I take it if both passengers upgrade then you would end up with 14 bottles being delivered!!! Where on earth would you store all those bottles :))

So all these are in included in the AI standard package...was thinking that speciality coffees were not included ...don't think there is any need for us to upgrade

Yes - all these are included on the standard package.

 

There are more speciality coffees on the premium package but, if you fancy one of these for a change, there is still no need to upgrade as you can just pay a 1.50 Pound supplement.
