Diamond Princess Question

[JF - retired RRT]

For those who have sailed on the Diamond...especially re: Aloha deck.

The aft deck plans look like you can just walk outside to the stairway that goes down to the aft Terrace pool with quick access to the buffet.

Are looks deceiving?

Yes it's true. There is a door on each side of the pool. We used to book those cabins way back when they put a cover over the pool and had deck parties back there.

Yes. Out the back doors and up a half flight of stairs to the Terrace Pool. There are some lounges adjacent to the pool. Up another half flight of stairs from the pool area to the Lido deck with more lounges, tables and chairs and Outriggers Bar. Inside to the Horizon Ct. buffet area.

Has anyone used the Japanese baths on board?  If so what was your impression of them?
 

If you stay in a full suite you get free access to the the thermal spa.  Does that include the baths? 
 

what about that gorgeous tub on the deck?  Is that part of the full suite access? 
 

thanks in advance.
