Creator's Key Takeaways

I had the chance to try isumi the ship's Japanese bath house the only one of its kind at Sea

the outdoor whirlpool is unheated making it useless for relaxing with a drink while enjoying the view

while isumi offers a unique and relaxing experience the unheated outdoor Spa is a major letdown

would I go again maybe not if the weather was sunny but if you're curious it's worth trying at least once

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try a single session instead of the thermal pass if you're unsure
Use the Princess Medallion app to order food and drinks to the cabanas
Visit the free aft view hot tubs on Deck 16 for a similar experience

Izumi Review: A Japanese Bathhouse at Sea on the Diamond Princess | Brisbane to New Zealand Cruise Join me as I explore Izumi, the only Japanese bathhouse at sea, during my 14-day journey aboard the Diamond Princess from Brisbane to New Zealand. In this video, I'll share everything you need to know about this unique experience—what I liked, what I didn’t, and whether it’s worth a visit. Discover how Izumi offers a Japanese onsen-inspired experience, the amenities available, including the indoor hot tubs, sauna, and outdoor whirlpool, and whether it’s a must-do for your next cruise. From the cost of access to the cabin service via the Medallion app, I cover all the details. Is Izumi worth the extra cost, or are the free hot tubs on the ship a better option?
