What sets her apart
Izumi, a Japanese onsen-style bathhouse of about 800 square metres with indoor and outdoor pools - the largest bath at sea, and a consequence of the ship having been built in Nagasaki for the Japanese market.
Cabins on this ship
6 grades on this ship. What each costs depends on the sailing, so the prices are on the itineraries.
Interior
About fifteen square metres, no window, twin beds that convert to a queen. The cheapest grade by a clear step, and completely dark with the lights off. This is a mid-sized ship by current standards, so an interior cabin is never far from daylight, which takes some of the sting out of the grade.
Oceanview
A picture window, sealed, on the lower decks. The cheapest grade with daylight and a horizon, which is the one that matters on the Japan and Australia runs where the sea can be lively. Several categories within this grade are partly blocked by lifeboats or ship structure and are sold as obstructed - check the cabin, not the grade.
Balcony
Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors onto a private veranda with a table and chairs. On Diamond Princess's Japan itineraries this is the grade we would point most people at, because a great deal of the scenery is coastal and passes while you are aboard. Some balconies on the lower decks are overlooked from above.
Mini-Suite
Noticeably more room than a balcony cabin: a separate sitting area with a sofa bed, a walk-in wardrobe, two televisions and a bathroom with both a bath and a shower. It is a large cabin rather than a suite - no priority boarding, no separate dining room, and none of the suite privileges come with it.
Reserve Collection Mini-Suite
The same mini-suite in a better position, plus a reserved section of the dining room with its own seating, a wine set-up on arrival and a handful of small extras. Princess called this Club Class until recently, so older brochures and some agents still use that name for it. The cabin itself is no larger.
Suite
From around forty-three square metres upward, with a full separate living room, a large balcony and the privileges that actually distinguish the grade: priority boarding and disembarkation, complimentary laundry, reserved dining and specialty restaurant access. Family suites are three connected rooms. There are few of them, and they go a long way ahead.
