Discovery Princess review | problems we faced in this short 3-night cruise from Sydney

Discovery Princess review Australia | Princess Cruises honest review | Discovery Princess problems We wanted to love Discovery Princess, but this short 3-night cruise from Sydney left us disappointed. In this honest review, we share what went wrong on our Australia cruise and why it didn’t meet Princess Cruises’ usual standards. Discovery Princess arrived in Australia with huge hype. Launched in 2022, she’s known for elegant design, a stunning piazza, modern cabins, and premium dining. But on our Sydney to Eden cruise, overcrowding, slow food service, unreliable Ocean Now delivery, and a cramped balcony cabin for four overshadowed the excitement. With nearly 4,400 passengers, the ship felt too full for a short sailing — especially after Eden was cancelled due to rough seas, turning the trip into a cruise to nowhere with no compensation. From undercooked sushi and overly salty Main Dining Room meals to long waits for lunch and dining delays, food was a letdown. Add in noisy public spaces, slow bar service, and cabin issues with Pullman beds, and this cruise became a test for guests and crew. Are we being too harsh on Discovery Princess?
