I am interested as well and hoping that a Hawaii in August 2024 is offered. I keep checking and nothing yet. They just are releasing the Japan and other areas today for that time. Hopefully soon!

Currently on board the Diamond Princess now and back in San Diego tomorrow. There have only been a few things happen on board that I feel are due to training brand new staff. These situations were not make or break the cruise at all and really only minor inconveniences. This is the third sailing from being out of service for 1015 days. They did not have full capacity and the workers I chatted with felt this is good so things can be worked in more and more attention to guests on board. The food has been great, the service (minus after the main dish at the dining room (just inconvenience and service was mainly very good), laundry (someone didn’t know they needed to get it same day that I requested - again, just an inconvenience). We could tell the workers are really trying. We had no water or toilette issues at all in an inside on deck 10. Our cabin was perfect. Most hot tubs were open and I was chatting with people in the outside Izumi pool and they said it was wonderful. I would come on this ship again. I will add that I was very impressed with all the holiday celebrations and that all 300 kids on board were able to get a gift from Santa (a cute stuffed husky dog that wasn’t tiny. I would have even lived to get one. From ugly sweater contests, gingerbread house making, eating Christmas cookies with hot chocolate, listening to the guest Christmas choir, and the list goes on. We really did enjoy our cruise.
