Diamond Princess doesn't allow children and is reasonably protected from wind and offers shade during different times of the day. The Sanctuary overhead is an area offered to passengers for USD20 a full day of USD10 for half a day. We never saw anyone using the facilities.
We had to tender off the ship to see Cairns. Passengers elected to go on the ship's tour to Kuranda, using the railway and sky rail to get to this popular town. Other tours offered were snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef.
We had meet quite a few passengers who choose to see the Great Barrier Reef in Airlie Beach and were disappointed to miss out when the Captain decided not to allow the ship's tenders ferry service to proceed due to predicted strong afternoon winds.
The second to last day of the cruise found Paul and I singing carols in the Atrium with about 500 odd passengers. The ship had been decorated with Christmas Trees and lights around the main service decks inside the ship. Each cabin had a decoration sticking into the letter box which really gave a festive feel. The bottom floor in the Atrium had a village display of gingerbread houses.
