Loved the whole cruise.It was a bit last minute as it was a really good price.
Apart from Busan and Nagasaki we had not been to these ports before I was a bit concerned after we booked finding out it was japan summer holidays,but really did not find anything that was crowded
Even on board ship there was hardly ever more than a dozen people on the promenade deck always loads of chairs.overall an exellent cruise.The Japanese people were very helpful and gracious The only down side was it was hot and humid walking around.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The cabin was a decent size for two nice clean balcony cabin.Bed very comfortable
Would have loved to have the Japanese toilet,but only in mini suites and above
Been before so we got the free shuttle which dropped us in an out of the way area.Whent to what looked like Chinatown with entrance.Just seemed to be sleazy back allies a lot of Russian people.We also did,t have that long, you would need to do a tour due to the short port stop.The highlight of Busan for us was the the changing colours of the bridge.Third time there and the first time in the dark.
We didNagasaki on our own. Lovely people ,peace park a must,and the bomb site museum.
Trams easy to get around 5 yen day pass.Glover house good to see and from there you can see the ship docked.Also shops and markets on the way back down the hill.
This was the highlight for us .We got the ships shuttle.Then a local bus to Obi castle.Walking up the hill on our right there was a sign that said ornamental carp swim zone 100 mtr.the channel was only about half to a metre wide and there were beautiful carp swimming along.
Then we went back to the Main Street and a lady in a small ticket box sold us tickets for the castle at the top of the hill and for seven museums,and every time you went through one you got a stamp on your ticket.
That was the best day not many people around.
