On a Diamond Princess cruise you can take a dip in a different pool every day, sample a variety of delicious international cuisines and dance until sunrise at one of three nightclubs.
Top five reasons to cruise on the Diamond Princess
Pools and Hot Tubs Onboard Diamond Princess cruises you can take your pick from over six hot tubs and a range of pools including a swim-against-the-current lap pool.
Dancing on Water The Princess Dawn has three entertaining venues to choose from when the party mood strikes. These include the Explorer’s Lounge, Skywalkers Nightclub and Club Fusion.
Arts Hub Take time to admire the ship’s library and gallery which is home to stunning world-class art. See something you like? Art auctions are also held onboard.
Shop up a Storm The Diamond Princess has retail therapy covered with a great selection of designer stores including Swarovski, Calvin Klein, Lancome, Clinique, Estee Lauder and Fossil.
Relaxing Retreat The Sanctuary is a kids free space where adults can recline on plush couches with a drink in hand or unwind with sunset yoga classes.
Perhaps the most impressive aspect of dining on a Diamond Princess cruise is the consistently high quality of dishes, even with passenger numbers in their thousands. Passengers can opt for Traditional Dining, which offers the classic cruise experience – a set, reserved sitting and the same waitstaff and dining companions for the duration of the cruise.
Traditional Dining cruisers enjoy meals in the lavish surroundings of the ship's main dining hall. Anytime Dining (available on most ships) is for passengers who prefer a bit more flexibility in when, where and with whom they dine each evening between 5.30pm and 10pm. Whichever dining option you select, you'll be spoilt for choice with top quality meat and seafood dishes, a range of vegetarian and healthy lifestyle options, and expertly prepared appetisers and desserts – it's like eating out in a different restaurant every night.
The ship’s famous Sabatini's restaurant serves traditional high-end Italian cuisine in a mouth-watering eight course meal, or fewer if your appetite doesn't stretch that far. Here you can also enjoy fabulous regional seafood specialities to give a real taste of your cruise destinations. For rare, medium or well done succulent steaks cooked to perfection, the Sterling Steakhouse is a New York style restaurant well worth a special night out. Prefer something a little more intimate and romantic? The Ultimate Balcony dining experience includes a multi-course meal served on your balcony by a team of wait staff just for you. The Ultimate Balcony is available at breakfast or in the evening, if you're staying in a balcony cabin. A per-person service charge applies in all speciality restaurants.
When you don't have time for a three-course meal, there are casual eateries across all Princess cruise ships, including the Horizon Court buffet, Prego Pizzeria, Trident Grill, Sundaes Ice Cream bar, and more.
The Rest
24 hour room-service is available for all passengers from a special room-service menu; additional per-item charges apply.
Passengers with allergies or special dietary needs are advised to inform their travel agent at the time of booking. Kosher meals are available on request and subject to availability. Vegetarian, low-sugar, low-sodium and low-fat dining options can be preselected online prior to departure.
The evening dining dress code is smart casual and there are formal nights on all cruises of four days and longer.
Onboard kids and youth programs cater for cruisers age 3 to 17 years. Activities are arranged according to three age groups, each enjoying activities designed specifically for them. Princess Pelicans aged 3 to 7 years and Shockwaves aged 8 to 12 years take part in arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, theme parties, disco nights, talent shows, behind-the-scenes ship tours, afternoon ice cream, kids-only dinners and more. Remix is cruising that 13 to 17 year olds will love – sports competitions, late-night film screenings, hip hop dance lessons, PlayStation 2 games, casino nights, DJ workshops, dance parties, mocktail parties and more will mean you might not see much of your teenagers at all.
The Princess Teen and Youth Program is staffed by youth activities coordinators as well as youth security staff during peak times for parents' peace of mind.
Babysitting
Group sitting is available for children aged 3 to 12 years between 10pm and 1am for a nominal per-child charge. Onboard Teen and Youth Centres are open on port days between 8am and 5pm, no additional charge.
