Diamond Princess Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We booked this cruise because of the shift in itinerary -- included Sea of Cortez (Loreto and La Paz). We went as a good sized group -- 7 couples, so we were ready for a blast. 2 Disappointments. First, missing an excursion on Whale Sharks. Apparent;ly, this is constrained by seasonal conditions, so you should book far in advance. Second, missing Loreto entirely -- key part of why we chose this itinerary. On the flip side, we had a blast in Mazatlan... half of the group went into town, half went to Stone Island.

Would recommend this cruise for those who would like to see Hawaii but also like the relaxing time at sea.

Very enjoyable cruise with the exception of the first and last day. Would I sail Princess again probably but definitely not our of San Diego. If you like relaxing days at sea this is the cruise for you.

If this was my first Princess cruise, I wouldn't think I would use my cruise budget for another trip.

HORRIBLE, worst every. If this was our first cruise it would be our last. Norwegian cruise line is starting to look better and better for future cruises. I see the over all rating is a 2.1 which I believe is misleading as I see it includes the excursions and not just the ship related points, embarking, service on board and disembarking.

This was a great itinerary with good balance of sea days with port days. It’s our first cruise since COVID. Our experience was different than cruising preCOVID and was still an excellent experience! Cruise lines are experience the same challenges with labor shortages as land based service companies. Princess did a nice job adjusting for this and not decreasing the overall experience.

Too many issues, coffee dispenser in buffet was usually broken and then the ice dispenser was broken.

We have been on approximately 15 cruises, not all on Princess. We are Platinum level on Princess and based upon this cruise have no desire to achieve any higher ranking. Princess is truly reaching the bottom of the barrel, sad but true. So much went wrong it just is not worth detailing. Shame on Princess.

For my first experience, I give it 5 stars because I enjoyed all the wonderful services, good, drinks, attention to detail throughout the ship and very professional and friendly staff throughout! I had reservations about perhaps being seasick, but it never happened. Smooth coasting all the way and that medallion sure makes such cruise a first class experience.

Booked this cruise last minute. It was a more affordable cruise than some I have been on so I adjusted my expectations based on that, but was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience! This is a beautiful ship with outstanding crew and staff!

We love cruising with Princess and this cruise certainly felt like 'home'! Any cruise around Japan is fantastic but this time the other ports gave us other experiences. All crew and staff were amazing on the ship- any issues were solved without a problem. Food was fantastic and there was plenty to do on board if you chose to join in.

2 weeks of cruising thru Singapore, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taipei, Japan

The cruise met all our expectations. Diamond Princess could do with a little make-over but it is more than comfortable and an enjoyable place to spend a couple of weeks. The itinerary lived up to the billing so no nasty unexpected surprises. Do your homework on ports before going and know what you want to do in each port. Book to avoid disappointment.

Another great Cruise with Princess, our personal highlight was we renewed our marriage vows, after 31 years, and the event was superbly arranged by the Princess staff, and the Captain made a great effort to ensure we felt special during the event.

So dull and quiet. If you like boring then that’s fine.

BEEN ON QUITE A FEW CRUISES BUT THIS COMES IN 2ND AFTER MY BALTIC CRUISE. FAMILY REALLY HAD A GREAT TIME. THE STAFF MADE IT EXTRA ENJOYABLE. THEY RATE PRINCESS OVER NCL!!

Diamond Princess is a well laid out ship and while it is showing some signs of age it is still very good. The crew were amazing and always did things with a smile. A great stress free way to spend Christmas!

thank you! no comment

Diamond Princess is a unique experience with passengers from all over the world. This is our third cruise on the Diamond Princess and we love experiencing Japan on this ship. She’s a class lady, well maintained for her age, and the itineraries are excellent. The food and service is very good. The Japanese aspects like Kai Sushi and Izumi Spa makes it very interesting feel!

In general all the staff on the ship were very nice and professional and both of teams are work with heart, so, we lived very happy experienced.
