Other Entertainments

You don't HAVE to go to the show in the theater (which seats 700 of the 2600 on board the Diamond -all seats with good sight lines as there are no supporting columns in the way).

There may be a comedian in Explorer's, karaoke in Club Fusion, a juggler in the Piazza, a small dance band in the Wheelhouse Bar and always a pianist/singer in Crooner's Martini bar.


The Piazza, set up for a string quartet performance. Home also to live bands, jugglers, acrobats, group dance lessons, goofy games, Captain's Welcome Aboard party, Pop Choir Performances....a lively hub of the ship. Shops, cafes and Passenger Services Office/ Future Cruise booking/Excursion Offices are all located here spread over the three decks that are open.


Crooners Martini Bar is always busy at night.




Wheelhouse bar is a comfortable room to drink and chat or listen to a dance band. There's a polished wooden floor for dancing.


Classic Gentleman's Club look



Of course you can also spend your evening (and money) in the Casino...




There is smoking allowed in the Casino on most evenings with usually two non-smoking nights.

If you want to have a drink and smoke then there is Churchill's Bar close to the Princess Theater.



Yes, that's an inverted Pool Table stuck to the ceiling.

Unique to the Diamond and Sapphire is the Wake View Bar, a cosy nook reached by a spiral staircase from Club Fusion above and affording porthole views of the ship's wake.



Another entertainment option is a Movie under the Stars up on the pool deck, watching a movie or pop concert on the 30 foot screen. Princess provides blankets and popcorn. Movies also run during the day. In Alaskan waters they were mainly Nature movies.

The Movie screen in the daytime, showing the feed from the webcam above the bridge.

Or you could simply take a walk on the Promenade Deck and breathe that fresh sea air....


Even if you just spend the night in a bar, talking to some new friends you have just met or go to your cabin to read, you will hardly be bored and wishing you were still on land.
