Onboard Experience
Accommodation
Princess Cruises want you to feel welcomed as soon as you step aboard and Diamond Princess makes you feel just that. With 7 cabin categories to choose from, you’re truly spoilt for choice. The most affordable option, Interior Staterooms are the perfect place to recharge your batteries. Here, you’ll find either twin beds or a Queen-size bed and all the necessities to make your cruise as comfortable as possible. If you’d like the added benefit of a view, then an Oceanview Stateroom is for you. This option includes all the amenities of an Interior Stateroom. Diamond Princess’ impressive Balcony Staterooms offer the added indulgence of a balcony and provide a little more space than a standard stateroom. On the balcony, you’ll find a table and two chairs, meaning you can sit back, relax and watch the sun go down.
Mini-Suites feature the same amenities as Balcony Staterooms but benefit from the additions of a separate sitting area with a sofa bed, premium bathroom facilities and two flat-panel televisions. Upon arrival at a Mini-Suite, you’ll receive a complimentary welcome glass of Champagne.
Club Class is a premium stateroom category featuring Diamond Princess’ best-located Mini-Suites. Alongside all the great amenities found in all Mini-Suites, Club Class offers premier dining benefits and luxurious perks. Suites are the ship’s most luxurious accommodations. Each spacious Suite features a balcony and includes all the amenities of a Club Class Mini-Suite (plus more living space), a sofa bed, separate seating areas as well as additional perks that range from priority embarkation and disembarkation to a complimentary mini-bar setup and much more.
Dining
On Diamond Princess, you’ll have the option of Anytime Dining or Traditional Dining. Anytime Dining enables you to dine when and with whom you wish whereas Traditional Dining allows you to dine at the same time each day with the same tablemates and waitstaff.
Horizon Court on Deck 14 offers an endless selection of cuisine that changes throughout the day. Indulge in a delightful array of worldwide cuisine, freshly baked bread and regional comfort foods in a casual setting at breakfast, lunch or dinner. Try the Best Pizza at Sea as voted by USA TODAY at Diamond Princess’ Prego Pizzeria on Deck 14. Prego serves up freshly made Neopolitan-style pizza by the slice or by the whole pie. Or follow your nose to Trident Grill on Deck 14 where the burgers are flipping and the hotdogs roasting. Delicious!
For the ultimate dining experience, take part in the Chef’s Table Experience which includes pre-dinner cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the galley as well as a unique menu specially designed by your executive chef. Each couple will receive a personalised autographed copy of Princess Cruises’ best-selling cookbook, a handwritten copy of the special menu and a complimentary photo.
Entertainment
With so much to see and do and so many destinations to explore, you’ll never be bored on a Princess cruise. Original musicals, dazzling magic shows, feature films, top comedians and nightclubs, there’s something happening around every corner.
Throughout the day and at night, Diamond Princess’ exclusive open-air poolside amphitheatre is the go-to destination for films, thrilling concerts and exciting sporting events. For original musical productions, head to the Princess Theater on Decks 6 and 7. Crafted by some of the world’s top directors and choreographers, Princess Cruises' productions transport you to realms as exotic as the destinations you’ll sail to.
Princess Cruises and Discovery Network have partnered to create an incredible range of Discovery at Sea programs. As part of these programs, guests on a Princess cruise have the chance to stargaze at sea, take part in Animal Planet shore excursions, bake with TLC Decorating Activities, experience Shark Week at Sea and take part in mystery whodunit and survival-style game shows. The program has been designed to offer immersive activities and experiences for the whole family to enjoy.
