Editorial Summary

The creator provides a comprehensive tour and review of the Diamond Princess during a nine day cruise departing from Yokohama, Japan. The journey includes stops in South Korea and various Japanese ports. The creator highlights the ship's Asian-oriented amenities, specifically praising the abundance of Japanese food options such as sushi, ramen, and soba noodles, as well as the availability of green tea ice cream. While noting that the ship is older and shows some wear in certain areas like the stateroom thermostat, the creator finds the accommodations spacious and well-designed. Observations include the bilingual nature of announcements, the presence of many children in school uniforms, and the polite demeanor of the Japanese clientele. The creator also explores various ship features, including the pool areas, the casino, the gym, and the theater, which includes a backstage tour. Despite minor inconveniences like narrow stairwells and the logistical challenges of reaching certain ports of call, the creator concludes that the cruise was an exceptional experience due to the food and the unique cultural atmosphere.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Take advantage of the free green tea ice cream, which is open longer than on other ships.
βœ“Use the free shuttle buses to city centers, as they are provided in Japanese ports.
βœ“Be aware that announcements are in two languages, which can double the time for drills and information.
