Creator's Key Takeaways

we ended up with almost five unexpected SE days and cruised way further south in order to avoid the storm

we would definitely return and do another Cruise not only to get to the ports that we missed because of the typhoon but to check out more of the country

the highlight was the tea ceremony in Shimizu because I really enjoy those cultural elements

princess offered a future Cruise credit equal to 20% of our cruise Fair as a Goodwill gesture

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Be aware that older ships may have air conditioning issues in hot climates; request a fan if needed.
โœ“If arriving at Sasbo port, try to disembark early to avoid long immigration lines.
โœ“Consider spending a day in Narita if flying in or out of Narita Airport.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Broken foot before cruise โ€” Choose a smaller ship for easier mobility; corridors can get cramped with carts.
Typhoon disrupting itinerary โ€” Cruise ships can adapt to weather; it becomes part of the adventure.
