deepwater Posted July 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I'll be on the Diamond in September. In looking at the deck plans, I don't see any place dedicated to coffee drinks. Is there a "coffee" shop or is it combined with something else? I would appreciate knowing where to go for a latte or coffee drinks in the mornings.

Rare Essiesmom Posted July 22, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Oops, still looking for International Cafe…I think it may be the Lobby Bar on Plaza Deck. EM Edited July 22, 2022 by Essiesmom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted July 22, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Should be the Lobby Bar that has the espresso beverages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4x4bob Posted July 23, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Also was wondering what to do about a good cup of coffee in the morning. After looking at deck plans I pointed out to the Wife that there was not a International Cafe or Coffee bar on the Diamond. For a few seconds I thought she was going to cancel the cruise. 😁 In the morning I normally would get up early, wander the ship with my camera, catching photos of people saving chairs by the pool, etc. Then stop by the Coffee bar for a cup of coffee and then pick up a lemon filled donut for the wife. Oh well, this will just be part of the adventure, right? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avonlady6390 Posted July 23, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I have never been on diamond but they must have a specialty coffee shop if so you can order on app to send to cabin or where you are on the ship if you have princess plus specialty coffee is included. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma Rene Posted July 23, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 23, 2022 It seems the Diamond does not have a number of features that Princess usually has. Is the Diamond going in for refurbishment soon? Hopefully, those features will be added. There is a special type of a spa on the back of the ship. Does anyone know anything about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called the Izumi Baths, take a look at it on the Princess website. I will definitely try it in September! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srpilo Posted July 24, 2022 #12 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Definitely the lobby bar. The only problem or difference coffee wise between the IC and the Lobby Bar I found in 2019 on the Diamond in Asia was some mornings the Lobby Bar wasn't opened until 7:00am, port days mostly opened at 6:30am, for me that was pretty late for my morning java. Luckly like most Grand class ships the Calypso Bar outside the Lido has an Expresso machine in storeroom behind the bar and opened at 6:00am 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Diamond was fitted to suit the Asian market. I have had 2 Japan Cruisetours on the Diamond cancelled already due to Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get good coffee and a pastry from Horizon Court early in the morning and enjoy those in the nice fresh air! Can't wait ... another 42 days to go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any time that they might have a time that at least a bathing suit is ok? I know for the outdoor one, bathing suits are required. However the indoor one looks absolutely beautiful. I just don't want to be naked to enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read in a trip report that they had separate hours for suits or no suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
