We selected this Diamond Princess cruise based on our satisfaction with a Coral Princess Panama Canal trip in March 2017; the dates- it had to be over Christmas so we could "run away" from the hassle at home;, and it took us to 2 countries where we had not been before- Cambodia and Vietnam. This choice also turned out to be good because we have a niece in Singapore to visit, and our Cathay flight from SFO allowed us to stop off in Hong Kong for a few days.
The ship was up to date, clean and beautifully decorated for the Holidays.
We had "anytime dining" and opted to share a table for all our dinners. We met some nice people. Those who signed up for assigned dining were disappointed because some of the people at their tables wouldn't show up and they were left sometimes alone. The food was very good and service was fine, but not hurried. Dinner generally took close to 2 hours.
Cabin Review
Mini-Suite with Balcony
Cabin MB
We had a mini suite with balcony which is just perfect. We especially like the larger shower and bathroom, and larger closet. The balcony seemed larger than on the Coral Princess.
The bed is very comfortable. The sitting area is adequate for 4 people. No complaints. we had a bit of difficulty with the two TV's. One as difficult to turn on, and sometimes both turned on with the same remote.

We headed the opposite direction from Saigon, stopping off at various scenic places along the way to Vung Tau where we had a delicious Vietnamese Buffet lunch.
