First Impressions of Discovery Princess
Discovery Princess debuted in Los Angeles on Saturday, March 27. I was onboard for a few hours before the ship set sail on her maiden voyage and am pleased to share with you a first look at this incredible ship that will be sailing the Mexican Riviera, California Coast and Alaska.
The 145,000 ton vessel was designed from the ground up with Princess MedallionClass™ technology, which can now be found on all Princes ships. MedallionClass enables guests to enjoy fast, reliable Wi-Fi, touchless experiences (like opening your stateroom door hands-free), food and drinks delivered around the ship, and more. Every guest experiences the Medallion Class technology and conveniences. Contrary to the name, it’s not a “class” of cruising – and a small, wearable device (aka, the Medallion) replaces your cruise card and is used to open your stateroom door & make purchases.

Here’s what people are saying about the CruiseTipsTV Unplugged Podcast
- So much fun!
June 7, 2023 by BillieClark from United StatesI love all of your content but I laughed so much at the cruise music reviews. First of all I realized I’m old enough to be your mom! We have very different taste in music and I usually love yacht rock so those comments were hilarious. I did write down many titles and will give them a listen. I’m sure I will love them all. As always, thank you for interesting and fun content.
- Informative & DelightfulMarch 28, 2023 by Cruising In Wonderland from United States
I found Cruise Tips Tv on YouTube because of their amazing ship tour of the Carnival Miracle a few years ago. I quickly fell in love with their channel & followed to their podcast & Insta account. They have really been an asset to my cruise planning with so many amazing and thorough tips, tricks & reviews. I always recommend them to anyone going on a cruise, but I like listening and watching their vlogs just for fun or if I miss being on a cruise ship too! They are very professional, but also very personable. I absolutely love their genuine personalities, and the way they value each other speaks to me most. You can tell family & integrity is important and that makes everything they do so enjoyable!
- Made me a cruise expertMarch 22, 2023 by MK OKAYY from United States
I have fallen in love with cruising, and Cruise Tips TV has become a regular part of my life now. Cruising is wonderful, but I do think there is a learning gap for people used to land vacations. My first cruise, I made all the mistakes. Second cruise, overcompensated and made all new mistakes. Then, I found Cruise Tips TV and it improved my cruising experience ten-fold. Now, I always have a cruise booked that I’m looking forward to. I follow Sherri and fam to keep up to date and to keep my excitement alive for my next sail. My partner and I are planning our first Alaska cruise with Princess this May. Truly, I would never have tried an Alaska cruise without Cruise Tips TV’s vlogs, videos, and podcasts about cruising the last frontier. I’m big on knowing what to expect, and they have made me feel very prepared for what I can predict, and ready to embrace surprises I can’t. My partner and I are planning to have a packing date night a couple weeks prior to our cruise. I’ll have packing cubes, the Alaska packing list, and cruise-inspired cocktails handy. And I’ll have the podcast playing in the background of course. Thanks so much for all your work and content.
