Southeast Asia trip

FEBRUARY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Everything was outstanding

CONS

None

RECOMMENDED

No

<div>This was truly an awesome trip. All locations were beautiful and shore excursions definitely made the trip. We loved Singapore and Hong Kong - so modern and clean and truly outstanding shore excursions. Had a great private excursion in Nha Trang Vietnam- definitely recommend it over the Princess tours. In comparing notes with others we saw so much more on the private tour and had an outstanding tour guide. Thanks to my travel agent for finding this tour for us. Taiwan was nice too but unfortunately it rained that day so it was somewhat limited us. Our two shore excursions in Japan- one inOsaka and Koyoto, and Shimizu (to see Mt Fuji) were exceptional. .. and all the off shore excursions were so great.&nbsp; In summary our whole trip was outstanding and we want to thank our agent for arranging the trip for us.</div>

Could have had more Japaneese decor around, Salmon was overcooked, but when asked they did better.

RECOMMENDED

This is our 2nd time on Princess. Our last trip we did not enjoy much about the ship. The crew had not been friendly the food was not great. This time we were very happy with the crew's friendliness and the food was much better.

Diamond Princess Survey

MARCH

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

The Diamond Princess is a beautiful ship. Our room steward was great always on top of anything we needed. Thank You Calvin!!!!!!

CONS

The staff getting us to our excursion were disorganized. Many other passangers complain about the same things. There wasn't enough buses picking us up from the stops back to ship, because we had waited so long they didn't even charge us. The Tenders they used only had 3 at one time and they took forever to get us back to ship. This was the first ship that this has happened to us.

Bars and Lounges close to early. Food was very good.

I would have liked to attend most of the activities, but they started close together. Some of the dining area in between serving took to long. In between serving it took 15 minutes.

APRIL

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Service, buffet food, Asian theme

CONS

Shore excursions

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Some shore excursions were not very interesting & we're not very detailed. A few were quite expensive for what you get. Those touting 'local dishes' on the ones that included lunch were always not. In Hong Kong wished they had a shuttle bus to Hong Kong Disneyland. Would have gladly paid for the bus. Many ppl on our cruise wanted to go to HK Disneyland.
