Yes it is a new ship,we did 7 nights and had a great time.Obviously there are a lot of new staff on board , after 5 weeks they are finding there way round and some have never worked on ships before.We had to wait 2 times with the pager for about 20 mins, so we got a drink and enjoyed the view out on deck 4.As for no drinks waiters not true,the staff were very attentive and always happy.Our cabin stewards were outstanding and worked around us always,yes Discovery are trying new ideas , but like all new ideas take time to iron out.There wasn't a formal evening but 25+ dinners in tuxedos and evening wear,so if you like to dress up you won't be on your own . If you don't then you don't have to,the Broadway lounge was excellent and yes the drinks waiters we're constantly taking orders.So if you don't like waiting get a drink from the other bars before you go in and order another one, problem solved and before I forget if you don't like tattoos go on Cunard if you can afford.Dont forget tattoos are body art and mean something to that person.Overall cabin spacious plenty of storage,food excellent and yes islands does take time to get know where the buffet food is placed out.Overall a excellent cruise and staff couldn't do enough,only thing I dint like was reception staff in new uniforms, I think dress whites much more appropriate and proffesional.Just my opinion and would cruise on Discovery again.So you proffesional wingers stop it it's not clever and your supposed to adults,my little wing over
