We're a retired Gen X Canadian couple who are slow traveling the world without stepping foot into an airport.

We were greeted by the Yokohama Bay Bridge, uh, which was fantastic, be able to see that from our stateateroom balcony in our pajamas having coffee.

The lounge, the premium lounge, which I think every any person staying there, so we're all pre you all get to be premium soon as you book in.

They have whale sharks, which is insane.
