no it is for a princess cruise....our cruise was made up of payment and cruise credit that they gave us for our diamond princess cruise that went into lockdown...my probem is if I let them know they may make me pay my husbands cruise credit part of the payment   we fully paid for the cruise months ago

I presume RC?
If you tell them they will reprice it as a single and will be a similar price.
If you don’t,even while boarding ,it won’t make any difference and you will receive taxes and gratuity of the second person as a OBC.

I am cruising by myself as my husband died recently...we had already paid in full for this cruise...do I have to let the cruise company know or just show up at port by myself.

I booked a princess cruise it was paid for months ago....since then my husband has died...I am still going on the cruise as my family thinks it will be good for me...do I have to let Princess know or do I just turn up at the port  by myself and tell them there that he is not coming

I WAS ON THAT DIAMOND PRINCESS SHIP......I RANG MY SON....I SAID THERE ARE 4 HELICOPTORS FLYING AROUND THE SHIP.....HE SAID MUM IT IS ALL OVER THE NEWS.   WAS A WORRY TO US AND THE FAMILY.....BUT WE SURVIVED

Disembarked in Singapore on 11th Feb 2020. Great cruise with lots of unusual occurrences. Onboard the Pacific Explorer ship heading to Asia while seeing the Diamond Princess drama unfolding on the news was a little unsettling. Having to disembark about 100 Chinese passport holders at Cairns because Singapore had closed its boarder to all Chinese also was very unusual. Dili having 1 guy with a temperature gun on the dock and dragging anybody with a Temperature of to unknown Hospitals (on a very hot day) also something that is not part of a normal cruise. Oh and a Hive of bee's thought that the  rear pool roof would be better than staying in Lombok. Being in a inside room (first and last time) with the thought of being confined was something I didn't enjoy. Great cruise though.

well...we went on our last cruise in Jan 2020....14 day cruise on the diamond princess....it took us 7 weeks to get home....had a wonderful cruise till the day when we were to disembark....sat around all morning waiting for the yokohama authorties to let us get off....they put the ship in quaratinne for 2 weeks.....unfortunately both my husband and I contracted covid  in week 2 was taken off the ship to a japanese hos[pital were we stayed for nearly 3 weeks.....we finally got home on 15th ;lmarch just in time for our wedding anniversay.....we have booked a cruise to new zealand in decemeber on the coral princess  

thanks....we will take both a US and euro adaptor

anyone been on the diamond princess... I would like to know if they have european or US power points to know what adaptors we need to bring

The OP is Australian so doesn't need a US adapter 🙂. I have read that there are two US style 120V outlets plus a new 'universal' outlet that was 240V.

 

I suggest that Rhonbru post the question on the Australian/NZ cruisers section of this forum for details of what electrical outlets the many Aussies who cruise on the Diamond encountered.

thanks I will....we have adaptors you put in the plugs so that we can put our aussie plugs in....just needed to know if the ships power points were us or european types to know what adaptors to bring.

can smeone tell me what sort of power points does the diamond princess have 

thanks everyone....we picked up our tickets from the travel agent and the payments were on them....I also brought  OBC to cover the cruise expenses and they sent me a email with the receipt......what I thought was strange....the gratities and the OBC went thru my credit card as a australian payment.....but the tours we picked and paid for on the princess site  went thru as a international payent and I got charged a international fee on top of the payment  which I realise is the credit card fee.....all were brought on the princess site

I prepaid our gruaties on our diamond princess cruise, the princess site won't let me print a copy show ing that we have prepaid this amount.....it allowed us to print up a copy of the tours we prepaid....I want something to prove that we have paid these guaritius ....has anyone else had this problem

is there a charge to use the japanese baths on the diamond princess 

its been a while since I was on a princess ship.....do they still have happy hour...if so what is the deal.....what is the average price of cocktails......thanks

my understanding is that if the cruise starts or finishs in australia the gratuities are included in the price.....but other cruises in other parts of the world the gratuities are extra.

Look at the stops the Limousin bus does in Yokohama - it stops outside 3  major hotels. We have booked the Intercontinental - bus stops right outside apparently. 

good idea....I will look at the hotels the bus stops at....will save us having to catch a taxi from YCAT station to a hotel

thanks for the hint....I will look up tokyo airporter
 

thanks I will look it up....we are arriving at narita airport and will proberly take the liminous bus to the YCAT station

thank you....will look it up

Hi Rhonbru,

      WE stayed at HOTEL MONTEREY YOKOHAMA, it is just across from the park near terminal and was an easy walk to the terminal with our bags, it is ok for a one night stay before cruise.

I am after suggestions on a hotel to stay the night before for cruise leaving yokohama....has anyone cruised from yokohama who could help me

we are travelling on this ship from Yokohama.....does anyone have any tips for this ship....it appears that they don't have anytime dining which we usually prefer....looking for a hotel in yokohama the night before the cruise

Unless you booked direct with HAL, these things aren't visible to you.

thanks for the answer....no I booked with a travel agent....I have kept all my confirmation emails from Holland America so I can prove I have brought this OBC when I get onboard

I have brought onboard credit for our next cruise, I have kept all my confirmation emails from Holland America but nothing shows up online booking ....is this a problem
