This is an honest review taking into account Discovery 2 is now 30 years old and is a de commissioned vessel that was once owned by Royal Cartibbean lines...If you've never cruised before you will probably love it...Plus's it's small and very friendly,...you could always get a sunbed along with a seat in the theatre and table in a restaurant but sadly that's as far as the anticipated cruise experience stops. It's far from luxury so don't expect the ritz.Balcony cabins have exposed rust on the balconies even though to be fair the insides have been fully refurbished on decks 6 and 7 and are fine and perfectly adequate.The all inclusive is lacking , if you dont mind a cocktail served in a scanky plastic marked glass then great but if you're expecting a dressed cocktail in a fancy glass then you will have reason for complaint .The draft drinks like diet coke are like cheap Rola Cola so expect to pay around £2.50 for a can or upgrade to the premium drinks package.The food..You could always find something to eat but there was no fab it was just okay.The excursions weren't that brill either.To summarise the itineraries are decent but if you are looking for a true cruise experience with an element of wow then give these a miss there's far better products out there for similar money...Would I go again ?? Only if it was cheap and sadly they aren't. That said they do have a loyal customer base.For me however they were below par and I was somewhat under whelmed.
