Diamond Princess Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Background:
We’re 60+ year old Australians with 18 previous cruises on different ships (and many different cruise lines) with which to compare. This 10 night cruise around Japan was our 2nd cruise on the Diamond Princess. Although there was a price drop just before we booked this cruise, the price was not cheap. As we had already booked a cruise to Japan arriving 5 days before this cruise, we decided the opportunity was too good to miss.

Cabin Review
Our balcony cabin had a large balcony (half shaded) as it was on Caribe deck. Unfortunately as it was cold for most of the cruise, we didn’t get much chance to enjoy the generous loungers supplied outside.The bed was in good condition and well padded. We have noticed that generally the bed improves with the standard of the cabin; that is, balcony cabins have superior (or newer) beds than interior cabins. Also if you want a top sheet, ask for it. Our suitcases fitted under the bed. Two comfortable chairs & small coffee table are supplied. There was a very large interactive flat-screen TV with free movies on demand. The small fridge was handy for keeping our supply of Coke & snacks cold. Lighting is good.We liked the open style walk-in type robe which had generous hanging space. The ensuite was a reasonable size. The dreaded shower curtain on the fairly compact shower did not suck in as it was weighted.
