Your videos are such a highlight of my day. They are uplifting and always interesting. I wish everyone had the positive attitude that the two of you seem to have. You've make lemonade out of lemons instead of endless negativity and whining about things not going as planned. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Thank you so much!
One day I’ll get up the nerve to try sushi. The soufflé pancakes looked yummy. Loved the vending machine speakeasy. My USMC dad was stationed in Okinawa - looking forward to next video.
Well, we say sushi is the absolute best. Thanks so much for following along with us on our journey.😀
Thanks for taking us along.
Our pleasure!
A cancelled tour can be a blessing 🙂What a great meal!
Yes it was!

Love your videos! I think your cruise sounds fantastic! I am retired and travel with a local tour company in my Arizona town. Met some wonderful friends there and in July we are taking a tour/cruise on Princess to Alaska. Never have been so very excited. Happy travels!

Thank You 🙏🏻
Sharing your Advantages Love watching

Coolest bar I went to was in Puerto Rico. It was a bar in a bar. You had to walk behind the counter of the first bar and there was a "hidden" door that led to another bar downstairs.
Oh, that sounds very cool. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Love your videos ! Just got back from a month cruising Japan. Amazing culture and wonderful people. The vending machines all over are insane ha ha.
Glad you had an amazing trip to Japan. Thanks for following along with us on our journey!
I so love watching your videos. You both are so real and down to earth. I appreciate all you do. ❤
Thank you so much!
Your videos are so much fun to watch!!
Thanks so much!
Excited for Okinawa as I used to live there. My husband was a Marine Corps pilot.
How fortunate were you to have the opportunity to live there. It was wonderful!
Another amazing video, love your pro tips. Never remove your channel, I can see me referencing them in the future. What a great idea for a business, the vending machine bar. I don't think you could get passed regulations in the west.
We said the same thing about the vending machine bar!😂
Great episode - Love Japan !!
So did we come it's been one of our favorite countries we visited. We can't wait to come back
Another interesting video 😊 that sushi looked amazing!!
Thanks so much, and yes, it was!
Greetings from the uk. I came across your channel by happen chance and iv watched your progress from day one! I jump for joy when a new video comes on. Its like watching the best mini series ever...❤
Thanks so much for your kind words! We appreciate you following along with us on our journey.
I love Japan! My in laws lived in Tokyo for a few years in the 90’s so I fortunately was able to visit just one time. Definitely want to go back! I had my first try of sushi there and that was at a small restaurant with a conveyer belt that the sushi just rolled by and you picked whatever you wanted. You paid by how many plates you had stack up at the end of the meal. Fabulous!!! 🍣
Nancy speaking and I absolutely love sushi. And those sushi conveyor belt places are so much fun.
Hi. The vending machines are wonderful. Can’t wait to see more from Japan.
Thanks!
Thank you for another delightful video. I will have such withdraws when the cruise is over. hugs
Thanks so much for following along with us. We appreciate you!
Wow!!! So many great vids this week!!!!I m kinda surprised how things were kinda in disaray. All i hear is how clean Japan is.
Overall, Japan was very clean. Thanks so much for watching. We appreciate you!
It’s so much fun watching your videos. I love seeing the different places and their customs. Thank you for taking the time to film & share with us!
You are so welcome!
I love Japan thanks for sharing can't wait to see more. Also I love how everyone does something different and we can see different adventures. Amazing
I agree. We also like watching and hearing about what others on the cruise are doing at each destination.
I love your videos. Tomorrow you would be in the Canary Islands. I suppose you have been previously there but if you haven’t try the papas con mojo (aka potatos with a dip sauce) and Fuerteventura white wine. Prices are a little bit cheaper because you don’t have to pay vat, so if you need something like perfume or cosmetics from French brands buy it there. It would be cheaper.
We ended up having an overnight in Tenerife. Unfortunately, we missed getting some of the food you described here as were now back in the open sea, but the food we had was excellent.
If I knew you had a overnight I would have recommended you la gomera and garajonay national park. It’s really far away from Tenerife because ferries go only from the south of the island, which I dislike inmensly with all the resorts but garajonay is just another world.
I really enjoy following your adventures on the Ultimate World Cruise, thanks for sharing the experience! Can I ask you a question too please? How do have such good luck finding good local guides across so many ports instead of using Royal Caribbean for excursions. Are you using a website that reviews them like Tripadvisor or doing your own research? p.s what’s your next port?
We do a lot of research on the Internet. We use short excursions group, via tour, tours by locals, and just do a general Google search. We do our best to choose those who have good reviews. and our next port in two days is Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
You mentioned going to Belfast, and the Titanic Museum. I'd suggest changing that, the Nomadic is worth the visit but the main Museum is pretty poor. There's nothing from the Titanic in the Museum and its just a walk through without a guide. A much better thing to do in Belfast is a Black Cab tour of the Troubles.
Perhaps we miss spoke as we are not going to Belfast, we are going to Cork. Thank you for the suggestions.
What a fabulous trip. I noticed you often go to ATM machines for local currency. Are all the ATMs in English?
This is Nancy here and I’ve had to ask Mike because he goes to get a local currency. He said everyone has had a button that you can push to translate to English.
We used a taxi app in Japan and were able to pay through it. So it was like Uber but it was for a taxi.
Yes!
🥰🎏🎊🥰
Thank you!
So what do you do with all this extra world currency you accumulate over time? I'm sure it adds up.
Well, we really don’t take out too much foreign currency. Credit cards are pretty widely excepted. Also, some of the currency we can use to tip the staff on the ship who are from the countries we visit.
How do you know how much local currency to get at each country
We estimate depending on our tour and what is included in our tours. Many places will take credit cards so we really don’t need much local currency.
How much yen did you take at the ATM? I will be cruising Japan next year.
We had several stops in Japan so we took out the equivalent of about $200.
Protip: the 7-11 ATM machines in Japan give the best exchange rate. Don’t give tips in Japan, it is offensive…. Well more like you confuse them.
Buying food from convenience stores (7-11, LAWSON, Familymart) is a thing.
Thanks for the tips! We agree with all of them
“Show me your papers!” Really? You all looked like a bunch of lambs being led out! We did not like that!
I assume you’re talking about getting on and off the shit, and this is just part of security.
