SINGAPORE TO SAFAGA - MARCH-APRIL 2012: Singapore-Langkawi-Phuket-Yangon-Port Blair- Cochin-Gao (Delhi-Agra)- Mumabi- Porbandar - Muscat - Salalah - Sharm el Sheik - Aqaba(Petra)- Safaga (Luxor) - London
Our second long cruise on MV Discovery that will negate both prior reviews but understand where these prior posters would be coming from. Discovery is all about itinerary and enrichment. You do not travel this ship for the standard cruise comforts and superficial amenities. You choose Discovery for travel depth and enjoyment of this experience with a remarkable group of like-minded fellow passengers.
Shore excursions were excellent, enrichment lectures were superb, dining was both lively and genteel, cabins are compact and basic, ship is small, intimate and well-run considering its age. Movies were recent, entertainment varied and very adequate under its limited stage capacity.
Coral Deck 3102 - port-hole cabin, priced at premium rate for Coral Deck as a "larger" cabin. It was not worth it though other Coral deck premium priced cabins were because they provide extra closet and room space. Cabin 3102 did not and should not be put in this same category We had 3106 in the past and it is well worth it and also viewed 3104 and 3100 which were larger had had extra closet space that was lacking in our similarly priced 3102 - avoid 3102 premium pricing but do consider the the other Coral deck cabins which do offer more space. (3106*****)
