Diamond Princess Review

Additional details
This cruise was chosen for the excellent itinerary. We were able to travel the long distance to this part of the world and have a long, 16 day cruise after spending time in various locations pre-cruise. Several other cruises and tours didn't offer this length and this seemed very convenient given the distance from the US.
We especially loved the "minority" status as most passengers were either from Japan or Australia, Europe, etc.
The cruise was well-paced with interspersed sea-days after several touring days. However, this was our first Princess cruise and we would not do another. The food was extremely sub-par, we didn't like fixed dinner seatings, and the entertainment was very disappointing. The service was excellent throughout the ship except for the formal dining room. The room service menu was very limited.

Cabin Review
Balcony
The cabin size was average but adequate. However, there was minimal drawer space but this was balanced by several storage cubicles which worked out fine. The "refrigerator" was actually a "cooler" and we were told not to use it to keep foods that may spoil.
The balcony was fabulous! VERY large and it gave the room a much larger feel.
