Diamond Princess... International Restaurant

[bigpeewee]

Does the Diamond Princess have an International Restaurant?

I have read Posts somewhere which say's it does NOT....yet Deck Plans show it at the stern of the Fiesta Deck.

Clarification please...\\\

Diamond Princess does not have an International Cafe.

I think you are looking at the International Dining Room - which is the restaurant for traditional fixed seating dining.

Hope this helps

The lobby bar on Diamond's Plaza deck has a selection of brewed and specialty coffees.
Following was extracted from Bimmer09's review:

My first stop is always Horizon Court buffet for coffee (syrup). Later I may have another, but this time fresh brewed from the coffee bar on deck 5 in the Piazza. There I have to use my Coffee Card for unlimited brewed coffee and 15 speciality coffees (espressos, cappuccinos etc). I always buy one and they are about $30 + tax. You don't have to drink the 15 Speciality coffees all at once...

No she does not and I am so disappointed!! I sail on her for the 2nd time on April 1 for 16 days. Was just on the Grand in January and really enjoyed the IC and Alfredos pizzaria wonderful!! I wonder why those two venues have not been added to the Diamond??

I think you've interpreted the OPs question best. There is a difference between the International Cafe (IC) and the International dining room. The former is in the Piazza of some ships and has pastries, muffins, cookies, salads, sandwiches and paninis 24/7. The Diamond does not have an International Cafe but a much smaller version called the Patisserie which has a few little pastries in the morning. The latter, the International dining room, is one of the main dining rooms exclusively for Traditional (fixed) dining that is located aft on deck 6. The Diamond has an International dining room.
