This video features 5 exciting days onboard the Diamond Princess as she sails in Japan. I took my very first Princess Cruise to Japan. In this video, I tell you if I would ever cruise in Japan again and if I would ever sail on Princess Cruises again. Diamond Princess cruise ship was amazing. I show you Kai Sushi Restaurant, International Main Dining Room, Sabatini’s Italian Restaurant, and more onboard Diamond Princess.

This Princess Cruise on Diamond Princess will take me to Aburatsu (Miyazaki), Japan; Busan, South Korea; and Nagasaki, Japan. This was my first time ever in Japan and my first time on Princess Cruises.
The Diamond Princess is part of the Gem class of cruise ships for Princess Cruises. Diamond Princess debuted in 2004 and was built by Mitsubishi in Nagasaki, Japan. Diamond Princess features several specialty dining venues, including Kai Sushi, Sterling Steakhouse, and Sabatini’s Italian.

I’m glad to hear that you loved your mini suite. We have the same cabin booked in less than two weeks with the premier package too. I hope we win a nice prize too.
Enjoy you, Zach. Your videos are always informative yet calming to watch. All the education, but without the amped-up delivery of many vloggers.
Great video as usual. Btw you look great in those spectacles. 😉
I sailed on the Emerald Princess through the Panama Canal last December and I loved it. Great video. I am going on a cruise to Japan next March on Holland America for 14 nights. Looking forward to seeing your videos of the ports you visited. And I’m so glad that you liked Princess, I’ve been on a few princess cruises, and I have to say that it slowly is becoming my go to line.
Really enjoyed your video but next time wish you could show breakfast and dinner or lunch beside the other places you ate.
Good to hear you had such a great time on this cruise, Zach. How fortunate you are to be able to cruise so much at such a young age. Can't wait to see your next adventure! 🙂
Loved your videos on Princess! I'm very excited to try that cruiseline myself, too! That's awesome winning $250!🎉
There’s an interesting story about the diamond princess and the sapphire princess as they were both built in Japan, and originally they had different names like the diamond with the sapphire, or the sapphire with the diamond but one of them caught on fire, and in order to launch the ship on time they had to switch names or something like that. I don’t remember the details, but I did learn about that years ago. I’ve actually been on the sapphire twice including my very first princess cruise in 2006. The second time was in approximately 2014 on my second Alaskan cruise.
Good stuff but miss seeing excursions and more of the ship and activities.
A Brazilian steakhouse on a cruise? And a sushi restaurant? I’m sold.
Thanks Zach! Another great video!
Watching that part on room service made my mouth water – I remember my first Princess cruise, when I couldn't stop ordering the cheesy fries with ketchup at 1am every single night – oops! again, great to see this – you're living your best life on that ship!
Glad you had a great time, Zach. Princess does seem like an attractive option these days. That Brazilian steakhouse looked awesome. I'm used to $60-$70 per person at my local Fogo de Chão, which is well worth the price, but $39 sounds like a steal! Just seeing picanha on the menu had my mouth watering.
Was hoping to see or hear a bit about your excursions in Korea and Japan. You mentioned them on this and other videos in this series but I haven't seen any details on them (yet?). Also, at 9:00 you mentioned you had a full day in Busan the next morning yet we immediately cut to "the next day" in Nagasaki? What happened there?
Will be booking same sailing soon. Thank you for your informative videos. Princess is another level of sailing for sure. Glad you had a great time. 😊
Thank you Zach! You create amazing content and I always enjoy living vicariously thru your vids! Cheers!!
Enjoy and try out all the exotic fresh Korean seafood 😉
Also you should also try something like Oceania. I had a wonderful time in their Trans-Atlantic cruise last Dec from Rome to Miami.
Also you can cruise to Singapore and I'm more than happy to host you and if the stay is overnight , make you gain 5lb 😂
I appreciated these Vlogs of your experiences on Princess as I like you had discounted it. Now I am thinking I would like to cruise in Japan with them. So thank you.
Glad you had such a great time this cruise. I’ll be very interested in what you book for your next trip on Princess. Thanks for the info on Japan and Korea. Enjoyed it so much.
