Diamond Princess Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This is the best ship i have been on the staff are so friendly and so helpful the food was very good so much to chose from the ship was very clean and well looked after just loved it all AAAAA+😍

Best cruise so far great staff very helpful AAA+

Great cruise with good staff. Good layout of ship. Some stuck up passengers. Ship could do with some areas repainted. Internal pool area was used daily. Staff was very helpful.

Took the Diamond on an Alaska Land Sea tour. Classy ship, wonderful staff. Love afternoon tea! Cream puffs in the shape of swans. The food is also very good both in Main dining areas and especially Sabatini’s specialty restaurant.

Heading out on the Coral Princess next week for Panama and was on the Royal last month to West Caribbean but wanted to post a Diamond review from past experience. I’ve sailed it 3x, 2004 inaugural year in Alaska, oct 2016 Singapore to Beijing and Feb 2018 Sydney to Auckland. It’s my favorite Princess ship. Love the layout and as an Elite member the nightly happy hour is held at Skywalkers nightclub that allows 180 degree views across the back of the ship. I believe only 2 Princess ships have Skywalkers now, Diamond and Star (sailed it in S. America in 2011) I’ve heard they think the placement on top of the ship causes drag thus more fuel. Explorers lounge is well placed near mid ship and easy to stop and watch entertainment from the hallway as you pass. Both specialty restaurants are fantastic, actually they have a 3rd Sushi one but I didn’t dine there. The gym is large, plenty of equipment and space to stretch. Only bummed that it’s primarily set in Asia now and hard to get over there from FL.

Sailed from Sydney on January 25th 2018, had an inside accessible cabin. Found the Diamond Princess to be wonderfully accessible for wheelchair access to most areas, particularly loved the self opening doors to the decks. For the first time on any cruise we found our cabin steward wasn’t very good, his understanding of English wasn’t good at all. It took till nearly the end of the trip for him to replace a badly torn doona cover despite the fact that we’d asked twice. He was less than helpful for the whole trip because of his lack of English. Food was great, venues great and the evening shows were fabulous. Can’t wait for my next Princess cruise.

Diamond princess is wonderful ship to cruise on hubby and I did sydney/new zealand in january wonderful service crew and staff all wonderful. Definately recommend to others. Will cruise with princess again.

Sailed on the Diamond for 12days out of Sydney, Jan 25 2018. Had a wonderful cruise to New Zealand. The meals in the Horizon Court were very good, as always.😊 We did have a specialty dinner in the Sterling Steakhouse..the food was amazing. Their tour disembarkation process is excellent (travelled with NCL after Princess and their process is chaos) We weren't happy with our cabin steward (not cleaning as expected), however he changed positions after 2 days, and our new steward, Armando met expectations. We were very pleased to see hand washing stations in the Horizon Court, which were enforced by staff followed by the Purell stations before they provide the silverware. Love the coffee card, wish other cruise lines offered this. We don't drink enough to purchase a beverage package. Had a great time and can't wait for our next cruise on the Star Princess, March 2019.

The singers and dancers in the Princess Theatre on the Diamond Princess were first class! Very high standard from all performers! Food and service in Club class dining was well worth the extra cost.

We enjoyed the cruise due to the great weather, most exciting cruise thru the Fjords, with crystal blue sky. We liked the ship but it was not our favorite. We have been on a lot of cruises, so we know the ones we like. We still book the destinations, rather than the ships.

Had time of my life. But bands need too play a bit later that’s all

Simply wonderful cruise with incredible staff across the board. We stayed in the very deluxe family suite and there was ample room for the five of us. There was simply too much on offer for us to see and do everything. However what we did get to was brilliant. Marcus was a great cruise director. The Lotus Spa had so many different ways to pamper yourself and I only got to do one thing every Sea day. I really loved this cruise and hope to be able to do it again one day.

Diamond Princess was a great ship to spend New Year’s Eve on. Crew made the cruise very enjoyable. Meals are amazing. Great to visit some of the ports that we have been to before and see more of NZ Tender rides are the best fun

Wonderful I will be doing it again I found the staff over all very helpful I will recommend it to other people some have already booked ready to go

Good cruise and having friends with us made it even better. One thing Princess need to have is a lounge where we can go in the evening before dinner where there is quiet as all lounge areas have either music or live entertainers singing and on the most it's so loud.

Fabulous destinations that lived up to Princesses reputation, but the ship disappointed us on this occasion and marred our cruise. I know others will have a different experience but this was ours, on this occasion. We have written to Princess Cruises, no reply yet but am taking into account the holiday season.

All in all a great cruise. I would definitely go on this ship again. Only negative was that the library had not been restocked after the Japanese cruising season but guess they would have done this in Sydney.

Excellent cruise great service when you get the waiters attention, if you didn't drink alcohol they couldn't be bothered serving you.

22 day re positioning cruise from Japan to Sydney, there were a lot of sea days but there was plenty to do while on board.we had smooth weather for most of the trip, would be happy to do it again.

Excellent cruise, ship fantastic, ports of call interesting. Don’t think I can really fault anything regarding this cruise! Japanese Entertainment crew very amusing and interesting to talk to. Great choice of food at all venues. Weather wasn’t kind Typhoon LAN was around so very cloudy if not raining and the captain made the decision to bypass Toyama and head straight to Busan. Great decision, worked well and allowed us more time in Busan plus left the wind and high seas behind!,
