We are currently on the Diamond Princess out of San Diego. It is their 4th cruise only. We have found the food in the Main Dining to be quite good. I agree that the buffet is repetitive; but we do manage to find something to eat. The medallion seems to be working ok. I am typing this in Manzanillo and internet is ok. We found the lights that go on automatically right away and our cabin steward put some tape over it. I have a toothbrush I plugged in the bathroom which is our night light. There are lights by the bed that go on too; which I just put a pillow in front of. The layout is a bit confusing; but we find our way around the ship just fine. We have booked the Sapphire to South America in February and then the Crown to Alaska in September. We have booked a celebrity in 2025. Princess is trying to save money. They used to give you port maps in your room; but they are still available at the desk. Cruising is different after Covid; but we have met some very nice people on the ship and there are alot of families on the ship due to the holiday.
