This cabin is considerably larger than C252 we had originally booked and only a few square feet smaller than the Accessible Window Suite. So we get nearly a suite without the perks and expense. Bonus is it is handy to the MDR from breakfast and lunch - down 2 decks, and 5 decks to Lido Deck for the Horizon Buffet. No traipsing the full length of Lido deck for breakfast. That is something I dislike on the Diamond Princess, especially having to past through the smoking area. Downside is we are above the Vista Lounge, so fingers crossed the evening events noise does not disturb us. And we won't be far from the self service laundry.
Cabin is the purple interior on the left.
Our Roll Call on www.cruisecritic.com is extremely quiet, as most have done NZ before and Christmas/New Year. Most are looking at the ship being a destination, as we are.
