tipping or gratuities are a No-No in Japan โ€” research in advance, especially if your cruise takes you outside of Japan, and ask the shore excursion staff or cruise director staff for guidance
clothing and bathing suits are typically not allowed in onsens for hygiene reasons โ€” ask the front desk staff for the policies on your sailing and do your own research
