Creator's Key Takeaways
This is the life between the ports, the entertainment, a little bit more of dining.
It's so treacherous that by Japanese law, our captain has to bring on a special pilot to navigate these 600 m.
We'll wrap this video with our very honest opinion of Holland America Westerdom. So, good things, the bad things, things you might want to think about.
The takeaway, if you want the longest stay ashore, book a ship excursion. And remember, Japan requires you to carry your passport at all times.
