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.
