Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Extraordinary experience. by Marsha from Clayton, CA, USA Sailing date: Apr 2007 Pros: Dining! We loved everything about our cruise. Our cabin steward was fantastic, as was all of the staff above the Diamond Princess. We loved having a balcony room... definitely worth the extra money to be able to sit out and have coffee every morning in the privacy of our own patio. Because there were only two of us, anytime dining rocked! It gave us more flexibility and options and we thoroughly enjoyed our choices.

Cabo was the best port. We enjoyed the water sports and going through the local mall and flea markets. Too bad the day was so short! It's the best for upscale leisure, in my opinion! Don't Miss: The new mall area! 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple First Trip. by A Traveler from USA Sailing date: Mar 2007 Pros: The many hot tubs & pools. The Princess Diamond is an impressive ship. We had a group of 8 adults and had plenty of time to be together or go our separate ways. We went during spring break so there were many families with little children who crowded around the pool areas. We did anytime dining & it was easy. The food was usually great with a few exceptions. When I was given a very dried out piece of salmon my server immediately saw the problem, took it away and suggested a different dish (which was great). They could improve their desserts...many were tasteless. Be prepared to spend the $$ on any drinks you want. We all took 2 bottles of wine (packed in our luggage) on board so that was a savings...except the corkage fee is $15 per bottle at dinner. Still less than what you'd have to buy. It was a fun trip & I would do it again. Ship Details: Entertainment & Activities 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

We enjoyed the service and by Ronnie from Carmel, IN Sailing date: Mar 2007 Pros: Pools. There was always a longe chair near a pool you could go to. The three port we saw were OK. Tendering in Cabo was a waste of time. We needed more time if they want to stop there. It took 45-1 hour both ways! Way too much vacation time to waste.

We saw the cliff divers, local market, and church. We also went to a local beach. Don't Miss: Cliff divers. Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Beach. We went to a local beach. It was OK. Shopping was touresty. Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Disembarkment was terrible. Took way too long for the short time we had in Cabo. We went ot a local beach. The water was cold, and the sun was hot. The people were friendly. 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview Great views of glaciers by Steve R from Boston, MA Sailing date: Aug 2009 Pros: Up close to glaciers and wildlife This is a nice ship. It is well maintained and the food was very good. There was a naturalist on board that added a lot to the experience Ship Details: Ship Quality The crew was always working on cleaning and sprucing up the interior and exterior of the ship. We felt that they really cared about how the shipped looked. We did find that a lot of people got lost on board. It was not always easy to find the right deck to go to, and one could not access some areas without going up or down. Dining/Food The food was quite good, plentiful, with nice presentation. Stateroom Quality Very nice. We were very pleased. Ship Staff Quality Most were wonderful. Anytime we asked for help, we got it. Entertainment & Activities We enjoyed the evening shows. Some of the daytime programs turned out to be promotions to buy more things. It's clear that the cruise line has ties to some merchants on shore. Read this user's port of call reviews: Juneau, Alaska; Ketchikan, Alaska; Skagway, Alaska Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Juneau, Alaska Mendenhall Glacier was great! Ketchikan, Alaska Go to the totem pole park. Also, the lumber jack show was a lot of fun. The shopping is more of the same. After a couple of ports, you've seen it all! Skagway, Alaska Take a bike trip. It is well worth the time and expense. Others we spoke to really enjoyed the train ride to the pass. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple A great vacation in a moving hotel! by Debbie from Seattle Sailing date: Dec 2006 I love to sit in a nice sunny deck chair and read. I go to play trivia. I love the 5 course meals with that great service. The deck party food was spectacular. It would be great to have a real time planetarium show on a clear night and someone to show me things with a telescope. I know the ship is navigated by satellite, so this should not be hard. I missed the movies on deck! No movies under the stars either. Please add that to this ship. Ship Details: Entertainment & Activities Entertainment: They had a better troop of singers and dancers on our previous cruise. We love magicians and hypnotists! We like seeing these in the smaller venues, instead of the main theatre. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?
