We chose this cruise because of the locations visited,and they lived up to our expectations.However,Diamond Princess did not.
Firstly, I have to say the staff were pretty good,and i have no complaints on that score.It was many little things that added up,eg,I have never seen such flimsy toilet paper as that used on this ship,I seriously advise you to take your own(I am not joking).
In the buffet you need to be a contortionist to be able to serve yourself,the hot cabinets are like serving yourself in a science lab,you know,where you put your hands through into rubber gloves and handle chemicals,see for yourself you'll no what i'm talking about.There are no china cups,just plastic ones.There are no teaspoons,just bits of wood to stir your tea/coffee, incidentally the coffee is awful,no doubt intentionally so,in order for you to buy a coffee card.
