Princess is one of my favorite cruise lines and this vessel was no exception - a beautiful ship! The Diamond Princess first sailed in 2003 and she was very well maintained. Everything on the ship looked brand new. The pool areas were the nicest of the three ships we toured. The suites we saw were spacious each with a good sized balcony. The lunch we had here was the best of the three ship meals I had during my weekend of ship inspections. I would not hesitate to recommend the Diamond Princess for her 7 night Mexican Riviera itinerary out of LA.
