Creator's Key Takeaways

We paid around $6,000. So, just over $4,500 British pounds. That's for both of us.

One of the best we've ever stayed in, in fact. And along with the service that we've been having, it's been really spectacular.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book last minute for cheaper suite prices.
โœ“Use European adapters for charging in cabins.
โœ“Bring a European adapter for US travelers.
โœ“Use the butler service for room service and snacks.

Cruising first class but at a regular balcony price? Find out how we did it on our Norwegian Cruise Around Japan! Get your BottleBottle water bottle, go to the Official Website: https://bit.ly/4iAKDK7 or Amazon Shop: https://bit.ly/4iHpRbV and use code 15BENDAVID, get 15% OFF. This was an all inclusive NCL cruise on the Norwegian Spirit with 4 included speciality meals and the premium drinks package included in the price. We were so surprised we were able to bag this mega-suite cheaper than some balcony cabins on newer ships! Not only was our room incredible but it came with our own butler, concierge and lots more perks! Plus we visit more ports in Japan including the Universal Japan theme park!
