We took a cruise on the Diamond Princess from Auckland NZ ending in Sydney Australia. We had some good experiences and we had some disappointing ones...please allow us to share:
Pro's:
1. Great food, did not tire of even after 12 days
Cabin maintenance is poor. We had an inop AC, burned out lights, balcony door would not properly latch, rubber residue in toilet, and problems with noises and hardware missing off balcony curtain and slider. It took three attempts to management to correct all the discs, the final of which happened on day 10 of the four day tour.
