WE chose this cruise in celebration of our 43rd anniversary. My wife and I had planned for a cruise of this nature and area coverage for a while. The motivation was re-enacted when my wife saw a special promo on this 16 nights cruise trip(it turned out to be a back-to-back cruises in one package). We thought we could take advantage of the E-Z Air program promoted by Princess on booking new ...

Love to visit Japan on the Diamond Princess. What a great ship and staff. Also great itineraries. The ship is well maintained for its age. The crew is friendly and accommodating. There were lots of shopping but no one was pushy. Bars are attractive and well staffed. We especially appreciated Skywalkers lounge and views while leaving each port for a pre-dinner drink. Both the Explorers and ...

The cruise was chosen so we could see most of Japan with the convenience of a cruise...perhaps we would have been better off using the rail system itself. Getting to our hotel from Haneda easily accomplished by riding the airport bus....45 min door to door, ¥1,350/person...Yokohama was worth spending a few days exploring before boarding. We explored easily on our own and the rail/subway system ...

Great Itinerary, Poor Ship

Itinerary was what attracted us and we were happy with each destination except for the Mt. Fuji tour which only took us to the gift shop on Mt. Fuji rather than further up the mountain. The ship is dated and could use a thorough cleaning. Princess' business model seems to be to nickel and dime you at every opportunity which leaves a very poor impression overall. Crew was really ...

Diamond Princess on the Japanese route is always my choice as it has the Japanese style of decoration such as the water kettle inside the cabin that you can make your own tea. Inside the dinning rooms you can always have Japanese style food. I particularly love the traditional Japanese breakfast in the dining room. The port facility always arrange good shuttle bus service (used to be free ...

This was our first Princess cruise, and though the crew did an amazing job making our dining experiences wonderful, I feel like the activities could have been better and the land tours could have been MUCH better! We had 4 cabins with 2 people in each, and our travel agent arranged adjoining balcony cabins where they partitions could be removed, so we could go cabin-to-cabin easily. That was ...

I chose this cruise because of the numerous ports around Japan during the fall when we were supposed to observe the leaves changing colors. We were in Tokyo before 3 times and we were looking forward to see the small port cities were the ship was going to dock. Embarkation and disembarkation went smoothly. The ship is an old ship built in 2004, mainly for Japanese customers as per one of ...

White shrimps were served as tiger shrimps as mentioned on the menu. The size of shrimp is so small in Vivaldi restaurant. Jumble shrimps should be served in dining room. Many cutleries, plates, cups, bowls, chopsticks, etc. are not clean. Chopsticks needs special attention to clean as it is black and hide food from previous users. Music in Horizon needs to be overhaul as it is ...

Excellent Itinerary but Tired Ship

We booked the nine day version of this cruise as a complement to a land tour of Japan. In most respects, it met our expectations, but there were definitely some aspects that were disappointing. This circumnavigation of Japan was an excellent, well-balanced itinerary out of Yokohama. What impressed us the most was the number of ports (three in total) visited on the Sea of Japan coast. This is an ...
