Your ship: Diamond Princess is the only ship in the Princess fleet with a bona fide sushi restaurant, as well as the only one to carry a traditional Japanese bath facility. The buffet restaurant has a ramen bar (hearty Japanese noodle soup) where you choose your own ingredients and a cold noodle bar. Even Swirls, the ice cream shop, adds green tea soft serve to the mix. The three-deck-high Piazza atrium, with a subtly Asian-influenced chrome sculpture covering the elevators, is the centre of many activities. While some other artwork and décor around the ship gives a nod to Asia, it never seems hockey or forced, and in fact, there are also Italian touches found among inlaid marble floors and buffet restaurant paintings, as well as clubby atmospheres (Wheelhouse and Churchill's lounges) and a splashy, after-hours dance club.
