We chose this cruise to see Japan.The port of embarkation does not even exist on the port of embakation listing, its "home" port is Yokohama in Japan.This shows what a company this is.I would not recommend an American owned cruise company to my worst enemy as they are the masters of spoiling a cruise with their on-board pricing policy.How to give up a drink for 2 weeks unless you have very deep pockets.In our whole 2 weeks on board I never saw anyone buy a bottle of wine to drink with their dinner due to ridiculous prices.Every purchase had 15% added to it.For the price of a single whiskey on board you could buy a whole bottle of Japanese Whisky on shore.Drink could not be carried onto the ship as you had to pass through the drinks gestapo.
On the plus side we had an inside cabin A 515.Although it did not have a porthole it seemed much better than those with a balcony.Much more spacious.
The quality of the singers would go out in the first round of X Factor.
Suitable for the purpose, certainly no wow factor.
