We overall had an enjoyable cruise and always grateful to spend time at sea on a big ship. However there were a few misses on this cruise.

Eight day circle Japan cruise to/from Yokohama. Pre cruise we spent two nights in Yokohama and really liked our stay there. Nice, clean city with many nice sites to see and beautifully lit up at night with a huge Ferris wheel down by the bay.
