Creator's Key Takeaways

We've had so much fun and I can't wait to share everything with you.

I love mini suites. They are the absolute best.

We loved the the nightly pasta specials. They were so good.

It was so fun and it was free and this is stuff that you pay for on shore.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Fly into Japan 3 or 4 days early to avoid missing sightseeing.
✓Get cash at the airport ATM upon arrival for convenience.
✓Attend port talks for ideas on things to do without booking excursions.
✓Plan activities for heat sensitivity, especially in summer or early fall.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Itinerary not suitable for first-timers — Start with a more mainland-based Japan itinerary to get the flavor of Japan.
Passport surrender for Taiwan clearance — Don't fret; the cruise line provides copies, and it's standard procedure.
