Thanks Peter! Glad you enjoyed the Japan cruise on the Diamond Princess and also both of my shows! 🙏🏻
Thank you, Katei! You were great and the crowd loved your shows. :)
This was pure magic. We would never have entertained the idea of sailing with Princess simply because their ships are so enormous. But you have documented the ship beautifully and it certainly has enticed our curiosity. Thanks again for all of the hard work and time you put into your documentaries.
I'm a small ship person, myself but Princess is fantastic at arranging so many events in different places that the ship rarely feels crowded. They do an excellent job with the entertainment and food and the ships are very comfortable, welcoming and homey. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment here. :)
Great Video !!! My big brother
Thank you, my brother in ships! :)
A very lovely cruise........ Maybe one day for my spouse and I !!
Your tour of the ship was awesome and as we sail on the Sapphire Princess in September.....
We'll be thinking of this ship. They are very similar.
P.S. ( we love Charro, too.........
Hoochie Coochie ! 😅 )
LOL, Charo makes the world a better place. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for unleashing memories dating back to July/August 2014 of my own Japan cruise onboard Diamond Princess. Our cruise included 3 ports in Hokkaido; Shiretoko Peninsula cruising; Korsokov Russia, as well as Aomori. I found the tour guides in each port charming as well and the meals on board Princess are always superb. I was introduced to the Ukulele on one of the sea days, resulting in my group attempting “You are my Sunshine” at the end of the lesson. I also remember enjoying the company of a mostly Japanese passenger base who all seemed game to try new things and have a lot of fun doing them.
Oh, wow, sounds like that was a very exciting itinerary. I hope to get back and see more one day. Thanks so much for your kind words. :)
Thank you very much, another great video. A lot of great rooms and fantastic food. A lot of beautiful places and people in the video too. Sushi is one of my favorite food and the tiramisu looked really great, it's my favorite dessert.
Thank you so much, Mrs. L! LOL, there was lots of sushi on this trip. I like the tepura and the California rolls and miso soup, myself. And, of course all the matcha green tea and cappuccinos. Always appreciate your watching and taaking the time to comment on my videos. :)
@@midshipcinema You're welcome LOL 😂 sushi 🍣🍣 every where, I love the shrimp kind. I've got to try Miso soup some time, there's a Japanese restaurant here in town, they have great food. I need to try the green tea you drink. I've never had it. I love watching your videos. They're always good and presented very nicely.
Epic journey and my top bucket list trip.
It was such a refreshing departure from all the stuff going on here. Lovely ship, country and people.
great video and got a lot of info for my circumnavigation of japan next april on the noordam...a ship lover like me will enjoy it for sure!
Have a fantastic time, Jeff!
Lovely video! I did the same sailing last summer on the Diamond. She is a lovely ship and Japan was great (though hot in summer!).
Thank you so much. We really lucked out on the weather. It was getting hot but not too bad and there were only two days of varying rain, both on sea days.
Very enjoyable video, Peter! Japan is fascinating and I hope to visit one day, as it's on top of my bucket list. Cheers from south Florida!
Thanks so much, Andy. So glad you enjoyed it. Japan is fantastic and I really enjoyed the DIAMOND PRINCESS experience. She's big but very well run and the food and entertainment were top notch.
I did this last September and it was amazing !😊
Nice! :)
I really wished that one day I could go to Japan to see the Ocean Dream... Unfortunately, that wish has expired. But I still wanna go to Japan. Lucky you :)
Hope you get there. A shame about the OCEAN DREAM. I think, even without the pandemic, her time was up.
Thanks for sharing this experience Peter.
Thank you for watching, Chris! :)
Great presentation Peter... would love to go on round Japan cruise! Interesting the reason the fake jet engine cowlings were installed. So glad other cruise ships ... such as RCL's turbine powered Radiance class ... had the sophistication to not take this faux jet engine decor approach !
Thank you, Grant. I actually kind of like those faux jets but am glad they only put them on the four ships (also on the smaller French built CORAL and ISLAND, although the ones on ISLAND were since removed). I like a little variety within the classes. These ships are wider and have wider funnels than the Italian ones with the same basic blueprint (CROWN, EMERALD, RUBY). It's a stretch but I liken it to the variations between ships like ORCADES, ORONSAY and ORSOVA.
Peter, another lovely video. I sailed on Sapphire Princess twice out of LA.....aboard, my favourite haunt......you can probably guess........the wheelhouse bar! I take it Sterling steakhouse was replaced by the sushi restaurant? Anyway, thanks again!
Thanks so much, Mark. On DIAMOND, they told me that Kai Sushi replaced the Internet Cafe that was on Deck 7. There was some mention of converting some of the Wheelhouse Bar into a steakhouse (I hope not as I love that space) at some point but I think the Brazilian Grill is also sort of a steakhouse in concept.
Great video, Peter! This is an impressive ship with rather tasteful decor 👍
On the thumbnail subject: this looks much better, with your face in it and some promotional texts 👌😃 You might however want to check and rework the size, as some of the text is now cut off on CZcams. The ideal size is 1280x720 pixels. And it might help to place the text not too close to the edges of the thumbnail. Good luck 👏😃
Thank you, Frank. I amended but may still have the text too close. I can't do much with Canva but had that image of me in front of the ship to work with in this case. Appreciate your support and feedback. :)
I really enjoyed this video. She was brand new 20 years ago when we sailed her on a New Years cruise. So glad she still looks fantastic. Also was looking to go on a Japanese cruise. Definitely on the bucket list now.
Thank you, Frank. Only thing I would recommend is going before it gets too rainy and hot in the summer. We did it just in time. :)
@@midshipcinema Thanks Peter for the heads up
Thanks for the great content. We are sailing on Diamond, to Australia in September. This video was helpful.
Thank you so much. I'm so happy to know that and hope you have a wonderful time! :)
Parabéns 🎉 pelo video
Obrigado, Cyro! :)
こんにちわピーター。まだ日本にいるのに会えて嬉しいです。日本には、高架高速道路、トンネル、橋、火山の観光トラップ山など、世界で最も素晴らしいインフラがあります。アクセスビューポイントがすべて板で塞がれているのを見て、滞在中に富士山を見ていただければ幸いです。
ブーブー
日本のホスピタリティは素晴らしいですね。地元の方々によるクルーズ船のお見送りはもちろん、日本全国どこでもフェリーに乗れば、港の職員が外に出てきて、灯りのついた杖を手に手を振ってお別れをしてくれます（夜間出港の場合が多い）。
Thanks so much, Jeremy! So glad you liked it and I hope to get back to Japan again soon. It is a wonderful country.
Excellent video! Is the Brazillian Steakhouse the 2nd specialty dining? I heard you mention the Italian and price, but it the Brazilian. It looks amazing and I KNOW my husband will love that! We'll be on exactly one year from now, so I appreciated this "hype" video!!
Thank you so much and yes, the Brazilian is one of three specialty dining venues if you include Sabatini's and Kai Sushi. On the Churrascaria, the price is $39, Sabatini's is $35 and Kai is either a la carte or $15. Hope you have a great time. :)
Thanks for the memories Peter. If you could kindly enlighten my curiosity. Is this Diamond Princess refurnished this year 2024 or earlier cuz I couldn’t recognise some areas like the MDRs but the Piazza is definitely recognisable as we loved dancing there. We were on the 8 Day Hokkaido Cruise which included Busan too. Subsequently we spend New Year 2024 on Diamond again. Didn’t realise the ship was so big 😃
Thanks so much for watching. The refurbishment was done in 2022 at Marseille. It freshened up the ship overall with new carpets and a lot of behind the scenes work and, of course the external paint scheme with the sea witch on her bow. I'm pretty sure the MDRs were left as originally designed and same for the Grand Plaza. :)
Great Video! We are sailing on Diamond Princess, to Japan in May next year.
I would like to ask, are the local tours purchased from the Princess?
Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching. All of the tours shown, with the exception of my visit to the ferry in Aomori were Princess excursions. :)
Great video… we will dock in Busan this October however on the large Quantum of the seas… one of the excursions is to Haedong Temple… my husband is concerned about too many stairs due to a knee issue … did you find this was a problem at this attraction?
Thank you. Yes, there are a lot of steps at the temple and it can get a little crowded. I'm not sure if there is an alternate ramp or easier access. I would definitely ask the Excursions team before you book.
All that delicious food, I think I gained 5kg by watching this video 😂
LOL, only 5kg? Trust me, there has been a lot of time sent on the ellipticals here since we returned. :)
