Creator's Key Takeaways

We're hoping for no more disasters. We're going to try all of the food. We're going to immerse ourselves in the culture.

This is completely magical. There's projection and mirrors everywhere. So, you've got to watch where you walk.

The Japanese people are lovely, as we've said loads of times before, really kind and really nice.

We're going to have six specialty meals on a 10 night cruise at no extra cost, which is pretty damn cool if I say so myself.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Double-check your port location before boarding, as cruise lines can be unclear.
Use the Marine Traffic app to track your ship's exact location.
Carry cash in Japan, as many smaller local places don't accept card payments.
Download the Norwegian Cruise Line app for updated features and benefits.
