Diamond Princess is back in service. My 20 day cruise has only about 1100 passengers and the same amount of crew. Here’s the good and not so good
Cabins
Smaller than most other Princess older ships
Very comfortable beds
Lights near the bed and washroom come on automatically
As always the cabin steward is excellent
Love that they added the extra charging usbs by the bed to the light stand
Food
The food is ok in the buffet but repetitive
There is no international cafe.
The pacific moon restaurant has the best ambiance
Dinner food is usually quite good but so many shrimp dishes
The omelettes are very good
Ship layout
Same as the other ships , with lots of self laundries
Love the deck on 7 - kept nice and wider than the other
They have closed the front of the ship on 14 - not good when coming into port
Staff
Friendly
Some responsive and some useless
Like the cruise director and most of her team -A good experience with them
Many in training on ship
Princess will no longer give you back the port fees when they cancel a port
Ship has toilet and air conditioning issues at back of ship and cabins starting with a 3 so beware regardless of floor
No pools are heated so we’re unusable even though it was really hot
Passengers really old - avg. age over 70
Entertainment in theatre really bad
Movies in room good with lots of selection
Overall a blah kind of ship with nothing memorable
Hope this helps
