rkingphoto Posted May 31, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2022 We were booked on Discovery for Cosmopolitan Classics 2 years ago, which of course was cancelled. It would have been our first cruise. So yesterday we had a mad moment and booked on Discovery for 2 weeks today (14th June) for Coastal Gems. Got a great deal flying from Aberdeen Can't wait 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howmuch! Posted May 31, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I'm sure it will be the first of many future cruises - hope you enjoy it as much as when we first cruised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkingphoto Posted May 31, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Got our cabin allocated today, we're in one of the deluxe balcony cabins on deck 7 aft. Does anyone know if these cabins have a fridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkingphoto Posted June 22, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Back home today, had a ball, the weather was fabulous, as was the ship. We upgraded to premium drinks and found it worthwhile. Food was great, entertainment was great, ports were great, can't really fault any part of it, apart from the 2.5 hour delay coming home from Palma, but, hey, ho. Need to get saving for our next one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim The Scot Posted June 22, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) Good to hear rkingphoto as we,re off on Discovery soon.Been on her before and had a great time. Not looking forward to any delays going or coming home mind you.Been tracking our outbound flight the last three weeks and its been delayed from Edinburgh every week...1hr 30..3hrs and 2hrs Not uprgrading to premier drinks as should be enough for us on the normal drinks package Any idea what draught beer/ lager was available and do they still have the help yourself drink trolleys with bottled beer? Just got the dreaded testing to navigate Edited June 22, 2022 by Jim The Scot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkingphoto Posted June 22, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted June 22, 2022 The draught lager was Fosters on AI or Heineken on PAI, there were tubs full of ice and beer bottles on deck and at the entrance to the Show theatre, as well as glasses of cocktails, wine, etc. There were a lot of flight delays on the way out and that delayed sailing by an hour, although our flight from Aberdeen was fine and we were aboard by lunch time. We never waited any time for drinks in any of the lounges but it wasn't always easy to find a seat in the evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flickjax Posted June 23, 2022 #8 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I actually liked the boats being half full 🙂 but having lively ships is good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is on the app. Some of the bars had the basic bar menu stuck to the bar but if you wanted the specific menu for that bar you had to look at the Navigate app or scan the QR code on the table. I should have some of the ones I downloaded still on my phone, I'll see if I can upload them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
