Diamond Princess

[cambie]

Hi,

Has anyone taken the 14-day cruise on Diamond Princess from LA to Hawaii? We're going on Oct 4 and would liek some information on the following:

1) Were there enough activities during the day to keep you busy (especially during the at sea days)?

2) Was there a self-serve laundromatte service available? How much does it cost?

3) How were the shore excursions? Expensive, good value for money?

4) How's the food ?

5) How's the service?

Thanks,

Cambie

Hi Cambie, welcome to CruiseCrazies.

I can try and help you. We have been on the Diamond Princess but on a 7 day to Alaska. We have also been on a 14 day cruise to Hawaii, but on a Celebrity ship, so I'll answer a couple of your questions.

The food and service were superb!!

Yes there are laundromats on all Princess ships - I can't remember the cost but it's the same as stateside laundromats, not much .... I just feed the quarters into the machines.

We had plenty of activities on the sea days... I especially love the Trivia contests and Bingo - but there's computer classes, photography classes, pottery classes all kinds of pool games... numerous activities that's for sure.

Sorry I can't help you with the excursions because we were on the Infinity for our Hawaiian cruise.

Hope this helps.
