Then I made my way to probably the most recognisable site in Tokyo, the Senso-ji Temple in…
Cunard Around-the-World Cruise Highlights Week 11: Yokohama to Okinawa
…are basically connected – and it took us as long to get into the heart of Tokyo to the Ginza District on the tour bus as it did later in the evening on the shuttle bus into Yokohama (Although it was a Sunday and so we benefited from little traffic into Tokyo and did get caught up in an early evening traffic jam into Yokohama). I was not sure how the around 400 people disembarking, and the equal number joining, were processed as there was no facil…
I Discovered The Best (& Worst) Things About Cruising Japan

Misunderstood: What I Found Regent Seven Seas Get Right (And Wrong)
…f day, and people swoop in and pick all the best ones. For example, for my Tokyo trip, they were released UK time after midnight. So, I logged in at 6am when I woke up to find some included exclusions that I really wanted to do were already wait-listed.

HILTON MILLENIUM HOTEL, NEW YORK, USA: noisy due to ground zero building
