Diamond Princess Reviews

A lovely ship with friendly staff. We travelled around Japan and the itinerary was also arranged well with a good choice of excursions. We had a mini suite and this was very spacious. Food was good. Some service in the dining room was a little slow at busy times.

Crew: Awesome : Japan : Totally amazing : Holiday destinations fantastic. Thank you Princess for the most memorable experience in a long time.

This ship being pretty old and worn out with lots of repairs needed sooner rather than later in my opinion is saved by the terrific crew and staff who after over 30 cruises I can honestly say are right up there with the best we've experienced. Every member of crew and staff are working to the same goal of making the customer experience memorable. My only complaint were the midday and evening announcements were really poor and very hard to make out probably due to the old and poor PA system but also the Captains English accent was not great. The ship does lack the variety of restaurants and bars but still manages to cater for both Japanese and American/ English mix the ship was full of. Princess as a company need to get this ship updated as it looks like they are flogging a dead horse. The cabins being on an older ship were more generous than the modern ships and for our case the cabin steward was excellent in keeping the rest of the crew. The excursion tours were ok but vastly overpriced as always on Princess albeit well organised. We look forward to another Princess cruise in the future and hope the crew/staff are as good on the next.

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.

We visited Vietnam and could not find fault with the Ship, the Crew or the Food.

Great staff, great ship. Hardly used the buffet restaurant. The food was literally luke warm if you were lucky. Some days it was cold. Also allowed customers to camp when not eating, either reading books, playing card, domino's ect. They should announce politely to vacate tables after eating to allow room for other's who have not eaten. Its just not big enough.

Beautiful ship. Fantastic friendly staff. Wonderful experience. .
