Embarkation was quick and cabin was ready when we boarded at 2pm. Most noticeable was the number of staff compared to last cruise a year ago. More staff everywhere, particularly roving to take drink orders etc. We did not need to use Ocean Now as whenever we thought about it, a roving waiter passed by to order from and reasonable quick delivery. The cocktail menu also improved as all I tried were great. Ship was very clean. Dining room food was good although sometimes variety not there. Lack of International Cafe was a shame. Coffee missed the mark. Musical entertainment was the only disappointing thing. Seemed aimed at the way older demographic with no stand outs. Movies choices were not to our taste and disappointing on the tv sequels were not present. Usually I go to theatre in evening but offerings were uninspiring and one I left after 20 minutes. The Princess app seems improved with the ability to track room mates and ordering drinks etc worked well. The new dining system seemed to work well. We chose to pre reserve a table for two. No problems. We took ships excursion to the Coorong from Adelaide. This was a highlight. Port Lincoln is a great port to wander round, can walk straight off the ship ( bit of a walk but paid shuttles if needed). We pre - hired a car in Kangaroo Island. This was a good choice as the wildlife is the main attraction. Debarking in Melbourne we were able to book on board a bus to southern cross station . This wasn’t offered pre cruise. While there is a tram at the port, it’s not easy with luggage and the crowds. Sadly this was our last round trip from Melbourne. We all live in hope Princess will come back to home port here.
Having had a couple of post covid dud cruises with RC and P&O Aust I was nervous about a 22 day from Yokohama to Sydney. Yay! It was so good. The food was excellent. The dining rooms ran smoothly. The shows were great and our cabin steward was the best! I’ve been on 25 cruises and he was exceptional, quick thorough and unobtrusive such a professional. We did a couple of shore tours in Alotau PNG and in Taiwan. They were ok but high priced. In Manila we just got a guy with a car to show us around Manila. 3 hours and he helped my disabled husband up stairs and pick the easiest routes for him. What a sweetie. 2500 pesos. Bargain for the service we received. The Princess plus package was great and we met heaps of nice people. Good work Princess. Off to Antarctica in Jan on Emerald.
This was Tokyo to Sydney on the Diamond Princess - a relocation for the Australian summer season - Our second sailing on the Diamond.. the first being around Japan in 2018. This was a very enjoyable cruise on a great ship... but could have been so much better with a few minor changes made ...and a few not made at all.. This trip gave the distinct impression of being "two cruises cobbled together". - When we left Tokyo the ship was definitely acting as a cruise ship for Asian and international tourists. The menus in the dining rooms and in the buffet were truly international... and truly amazing.... and the entertainment on board was top quality... but after a week of cruising we arrived at Hong Kong...and everything changed... Someone at Princess had decided that at Hong Kong the ship would 'morph' from being a "Asian-orientated" cruise ship to being an "Australian orientated" cruise ship... The dining room menus suddenly changed, ...and the amazing oriental and international dishes on the menu were gone ...to be replaced by "Aussie burger & chips" and "Lamb Shanks and mash". The entertainment changed from international to Aussie, and the Yokohama and Grolsch beers got replaced with VB stubbies and Fosters Oil Cans. Even Kai Sushi... that when we sailed from Japan had a wonderful menu including various Sushi and Sashimi choices with a range of other Japanese dishes changed to a boring choice of two simple "set menu" options. The overall food quality and service quality were still there... but someone, somewhere, clearly thought a change to "simpler stuff" was needed for an Aussie cruiser clientele... The Diamond is a nice ship with a lot going for it.. (The swimming pools and lido deck are great, Princess Theatre is good, nice library area and beautiful aft deck bar area)., but misses out on some things that are normally "standard" on a Princess ship. Firstly there is no 24-hour "International Cafe".. ... perhaps a little thing for many ...but a place just to sit and have a decent coffee and a snack were just hard to find on board.. Secondly there are parts of the ship that seemed grossly underutilised during this cruise. The Wheelhouse Bar, that is usually a vibrant hub of entertainment, has no coffee machine, had little by way of quality entertainment and was "very quiet" for much of the cruise, ...as were the aft theatre "Club Fusion" and "Skywalkers Night Club". Meanwhile Crooners bar and Explorers Lounge (and Good Spirits at Sea) were very often packed... Simply swapping venues to put the popular stuff in the places with extra seating would have been so easy to do. As usual, the service levels from the Princess Cruise Staff were exceptional...but it sometimes took an inordinate length of time to get anything ordered from the "OceanNow" app... it was much easier and faster just to find find a waiter or go to the bar yourself. Finally, Princess, either by default of design, is becoming the cruise line of choice for retirees and and those who prefer a quieter cruise-style.... and that brings with it its own issues. Don't expect things to happen quickly... and don't be surprised if there are delays or diversions due to medical issues amongst the clientele.
