Sail Date: Jan 2012

My family took a cruise on the MV Discovery "Grand Asia and Australia", January 4 to February 10, 2012. To cut to the chase. We would not take this ship, nor any Discovery Cruise again, and here is why:

1. This really is a 2 star ship; it was the original Love Boat, and does show its age. It is very tired!! From not having any cold water in the sinks, to having sporadic hot water in the shower, to having no hot water for three days, to having minimal A/C in the hot climates, to sulfer smell coming from the toilet, to a very rocky ship, and other issues.

2. The entertainment was lacking. From poor lectures, to high school entertainment at night, to 40 year old movies, to sing- alongs as evening entertainment, to dead evenings, there is basically nothing to do on this ship. A word to the wise: bring your own entertainment!!

Cabin Review

Cabin was fair sized, but the cabinet/storage space was limited. Old TV, A/C not always working, and many times during the day and evening no hot water. Cabins need lots of help.Cabin was very quiet.
