We enjoyed our Diamond Princess Japan cruise in March 2026. The stateroom was compact but well designed, with plenty of hanging space. But the bathroom! The shower is VERY “compact”, with a plastic shower curtain, making showering something of a challenge. Even the taps in the shower were temperamental. I think this was the weakest part of the Princess offering. We were happy with the dining. Our experience on this cruise was that there was always a good range of dishes offered and the quality without fail met our expectations. We opted for “any time” dining each evening, and rarely had to wait more than a few minutes for a table. There seemed to be very few specialty dining time slots available on the app once the cruise departed, but we didn’t follow up to try and get a booking. We also found the Horizon Court buffet and pizza and burger bars satisfactory. The drink service was always attentive, although we had a couple of glitches when drinks we had ordered didn’t turn up (but these were always rectified when we followed up). Princess does live entertainment very well, and while the theatre shows were all good, the three featuring the full band and dancers were especially good (no wonder the theatre was packed for these performances). There are numerous other activities all around the ship, so there’s literally something for everyone. Since this cruise caters for a Japanese clientele, there were some productions that were geared to this audience. The other passengers were from a wide range of countries. There were a lot of North Americans and Australians, but many other countries were represented although fewer Japanese than I had expected. We had little reason to use the Guest services counter but noticed there was always a queue there! Check in and disembarkation at Yokohama: both very efficient. But bear in mind that even if you board early, rooms aren’t available until after 1 pm, and you may well be waiting for your luggage: ours wasn’t delivered until after we had departed port. The “medallion” is a great idea, but on our trip, it wasn’t used to its full potential. It functions as a door key and as ID when leaving and re-boarding at ports, but I was surprised that it wasn’t asked for when ordering drinks or entering restaurants. On these occasions, our details were always manually entered on hand held devices carried by the crew. No doubt these devices will be upgraded in good time to enable medallions to be “tapped”. Ports: Kagoshima – there’s not much to see close to the port and it’s a walk of nearly 2 km to the tram stop which takes you downtown. I didn’t go downtown so can’t comment on what there was to see there. Nagasaki – The tram stop is close to the wharf, and takes you (with one change) to the Peace Park. In theory, you can “tap” your contactless card on the tram, but this only worked once for me. The Glover Gardens are very close to the wharf and are an easy walk (although uphill). They’re well worth seeing. Busan – there was a paid shuttle into the BIFF area, although we were somewhat underwhelmed by this area. In hindsight it would have been better to explore further afield on the metro, which involves a 15-20 minute walk from the wharf to the main Busan station (very modern, with lots of facilities). Hiroshima - there was a free shuttle to the tram terminus, although there’s a slightly closer tram stop closer to the wharf which, in hindsight, is within walking distance. Theres a tram that takes you to the Atomic Bomb Dome and the adjacent vibrant downtown area – both well worth seeing. Hiroshima was the port of re-entering Japan after calling at Busan in South Korea, and all passengers were required to re-complete Japanese immigration formalities, which are a little complex, and were supposed to be completed by mid-morning. Hence, there were significant queues for most if not all the time, which would need to be factored in if booking a private tour. Aburatsu (for Miyzaki). There seemed to be little alternative to the cruise line’s excursions, although the local town is within walking distance or by a paid shuttle. Kochi - The wharf in an industrial zone, with nothing remotely within walking distance. There’s a paid shuttle into the bus terminal in town (nearly 9 kms, it turns out, through 3 tunnels). On arrival, the very helpful and cheerful locals directed me to on the walking route to the castle. This was a little less than a kilometre, but mostly via a covered shopping mall (a closed off street) and so was sheltered fron the rain. The walk was worthwhile, with some interesting shops. Entry to the castle grounds was free, and although there were a lot of steps (and some gravel paths) to negotiate to get to the castle itself, the grounds are picturesque. There’s a charge to enter the castle itself, which contains a museum. Tokushima - Again there’s nothing in the vicinity of the port, but there was a free shuttle, provided by port, not by Princess. The enthusiastic locals were very helpful, but note the shuttle bus does a loop which, for me, got lost in the translation. The first stop is the JR station (Minami-Komatsushima), where you can catch the train to downtown Tokoshima. This was an interesting 20 minute trip in itself, and there are several sights around the town whuch is quite a busy city,. I found my way to the foot of the ropeway. Gondolas aren’t my thing, but others seemed to like the ride, Shimizu - Shimizu is where the tours to Mt Fuji leave from, but we weren't interested in these. There was a free shuttle provided into town, but the queue was quite long and there didn't seem anything of particular note to persuade us to make the trip. On the other hand, close to the wharf was an extensive shopping plaza catering to both locals and tourists - and including several shops selling locally made craft items, which we found interesting.
We really enjoyed our cruise in Japan . The ship is a bit older so it shows in certain areas, cabin washrooms in particular. Overall, it was very positive experience. The staff were wonderful throughout. We only ate at the complimentary dining . Most of our dinners were excellent with more than enough choice, one or two meals were just ok. Entertainment in the main theatre was really quite good except for maybe 2 shows. The house band , Mockingbird played the standard classics people wanted to hear or dance to. Other musical performers were ok , Classical and jazz musicians were quite good , the others not so much. This is a busy agenda , 8 ports of call so lots to see and do with minimal sea days. While most the ports were worth seeing , Tokushima has very limited options for tourists, and is hard to get to from the port despite a free shuttle service by the local community. ( Princess does not offer a shuttle but rather a Tour on your own bus for $130 US , definitely not worth it. )
