Sail Date: Feb 2017

We had previously sailed with Princess Cruises to Alaska and based on that experience we booked to go with 2 other couples for a 10 night Far East cruise on Diamond Princess, departing on February 8th 2017 and returning to Singapore.

This time we upgraded to a full suite (C757). The embarkation and disembarkation process was fine despite the late arrival of our luggage to our stateroom.

We found our suite spacious and comfortable although it was disappointing to find the bath water tepid. The laundry service was fine and room service reasonable despite a reduced menu on several occasions. The internet service was slow and extremely expensive and considering the price paid we felt this should have been included. The literature implied that our cabin steward was dedicated to our suites, it was not the case but that’s a minor point.

Because the suite was at the stern of the vessel we witnessed a disturbing amount of smoke at night which suggested to me that the ship was switching off the stack scrubbing system to save money.
