Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Diamond Princess
Great cruise around Japan - crew amazing, food good - weather meant we missed two ports but thats not princess or iglu's fault. Had a stay with iglu in Tokyo before the cruise - great hotel and location near the Tokyo tower
Arriving in Singapore it was a wow factor shame about the hotel we have travelled several times with princess cruises and once again the ship and crew were fantastic the ports of call were all fabulous and a variety and cultures and would recommend this cruise to new and old customers alike and if you are looking for adventure this is the one for you
I am new to cruising. The cabin was lovely with a picture window to see out to sea, the bed was so comfortable, plenty of room to hang clothes ect. There was a kettle in the room but only provided tea, no milk and espresso cups. The food in the restaurants was of a high standard and served professionally but eating in the main buffet restaurant was a bit mad and some people are so greedy. I expected broadway shows as advertised on tv but found the entertainment to be rather poor. Disembarking for trips was quite quick considering how many people were on board. A lot of events that were happening on board were very much sales orientated, I felt I was on a floating retail outlet. However, I had a lovely holiday and met some lovely people on there
Another great cruise from Princess. Was very tiring as we had no sea day until day 4, and excursions were full on. Didn’t enjoy Kuala Lumpur, but the rest were amazing. A lot of the ports you needed to travel from, but were worth the journey.
