Cruise Wonderland Posted April 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Diamond Princess entered service again on 2nd Apr after her latest refurbishment at the drydock in Singapore. The first cruise is from Singapore to Yokohama, and after that she will be based in Yokohama as the homeport for the 2014 summer season, offering a number of new Japan itineraries. When she arrived Hong Kong on 8th Apr, we are delighted to have the opportunity of touring the ship with her new features. The following are the pictures showing some areas that are just introduced or modified. Also note that Diamond Princess has already changed her registry from Bermuda (Hamilton) to United Kingdom (London). More pictures can be found on our Facebook page: Hong Kong Cruise Society. Enjoy!

bonsai3s Posted April 10, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 10, 2014 ...the Diamond is one of our favorite ships and sailed her to Osaka and Yokohama last year. Does it have an International Café now? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnvcanada Posted April 10, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Thanks for posting the pictures. We love most of the changes and can not wait for our forth coming curise. Someone finally listened the tropic or whatever it was colours were certainly out of date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdjam Posted April 10, 2014 #13 Share Posted April 10, 2014 The new interiors are lovely. Congratulations on having a beautiful ship in Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbobst Posted April 10, 2014 #14 Share Posted April 10, 2014 The floor plans on the Princess website seem to show the updates, but there is no International Cafe. Why would they do a big update like this and not add it I wonder? Are there any other Grand class ships without the cafe or is Diamond the only one?

Perhaps they didn't feel it necessary for the Asian market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carib Posted April 11, 2014 #22 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Thanks for posting these. Awesome makeover in just 3 weeks. I am looking forward to sailing on her in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sincity Posted April 11, 2014 #23 Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) The Diamond was the first Princess ship we've ever been on in 2005 and have been "hooked" with Princess. We've been on her several times and I like the new look. Thanks for sharing! Edited April 11, 2014 by Sincity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they just didn't have enough space to add the International Cafe... the juggling of the chapel/shore excursion desk/Internet Cafe/Calypso Cove didn't leave enough room on Plaza for the Cafe... you'll notice they don't call the main atrium the Piazza and no room for Vines either.

Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted April 11, 2014 #25 Share Posted April 11, 2014 She looks gorgeous! Wish Princess would have invested some $ in modernizing her when she sailed in the U.S.! Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
