I've only seen one episode of Lower Decks (the DS9 one) and this was a pretty good crossover I must say. Now cross over Strange New Worlds with other shows and characters from the Trek legacy.

Fine Fine episode
Why are my eyes so big??
The Stafleet logo on the soles of his shoes.
Mariner doing her double thumbs up.
Her rolled up sleeves being slightly lighter red.
Enterprise love!
Why do they talk so loud? Lol.
The OPENING CREDITS! With that sucking alien. Glad they didn't have them retreat from danger.
I'm still giddy about this episode. Possibly the best thing I've ever seen.
One thing I noticed particularly in this episode is how respectful both SNW and LD are of canon and fandom in general - the bit about not all Orions being pirates, for example. I know it originates w/Tendi from Lower Decks, but just in the context of this episode they take the one-dimensional nature of the Orions from TOS, poke a little fun at it, but then make it about the bias that the Federation/Star Fleet has against a culture they really don't understand. The SNW writers effortlessly take what could be considered a flaw or one-dimensional writing from TOS and actually use it to flesh out the ST universe, all while telling a great story.

It was fantastic
Someone can explain me the halloween costume pun?
NVM found it here
Absolutely loved this episode, Boimler getting wrapped in the cables when jerry-rigging the sensors had me in tears; and the Riker as he swung his leg over the saddle brilliant bit of improv made even funnier knowing Drakes directed this.
They managed to tone down the lower deckers slighter whilst still having their full personalities come through.
Pikes getting more exacerbated with them throughout the episode was well done, and the amount of physical comedy I'm running out of superlatives for this episode.
It was just brilliant, easily my favourite of the current era.
Edit. Just wanted to add, loved seeing the LD uniform in love action; thought it translated really well.

Totally agree with you...this Lower Desk crossover was perfect in pretty much every way...then the Klingon ambassador episode after that was like a stand alone movie and super heavy...the writing for SNW is just blowing me away👍👍
I wonder how many times crew get blackout/asleep and for a joke their mates put them in the holodeck for "computer end programme" to be a wake up meme.
