We have been thinking about this cruise for next year but still undecided. We are sold after watching your video! Thank you so much! Japan here we come 2024!!!!! 😂😂😂
I will be in Japan a few days before my cruise in may and I plan to use my drone (Dji mini 3 pro) where possible. Princess mentions on their website that drones are in the prohibited item list and cannot be brought onboard. I have no intention of using it on the ship but I have nowhere to leave it for 10 days. Also, I might want to use it during excursions where allowed/possible. So what should I do?
Hey! I am not familiar with drone laws over there but it looks like you have to register it and follow their laws. We don’t travel with drones (gave up years ago) and instead we use 360 Cameras to get a bit of height and a unique look. Sorry I don’t have more info!
Do you think the kids club groups you mentioned in your videos with 12 starting for the teen club instead of 13? Or was that unique for your sailing do you think? Looking at summer in Japan.
Omg. You popped up in my UA-cam feed today as an unexpected delight! Me and my wife did a similar trip to yours in late august/early sept, so just missed you. We also stayed at the Hyatt Regency In Yokohama before boarding, and loved the location so close to Chinatown! We also flew over from Dallas to Tokyo, but stopped at Disney for 4 nights before coming over to Yokohama. We used a car service to transfer between the airport and Disney, then to Yokohama, and then back to the airport once the cruise was over that worked out awesomely for us. I posted a slideshow of the highlights of our trip, which I thought was good, but your video is on another level. Very professional, with lots of great info. Thanks for posting. Liked and Subscribed!!!
Your smile is so infectious! Going on a cruise around Japan in a little bit on NCL. Looking forward to it, and even though we’ll be on a different cruise line, it was still good to watch this video! Thanks!
Hope you enjoy it! Thank you so much your kind words and I hope you have a fabulous cruise. Japan is such a wonderful place to visit. We can’t wait to go back.
This must be exciting to travel back! Those excursions look incredible. Who wants to be a stowaway on the ship, I'd rather run off into the mainland. We're sailing to Yokohama from Vancouver next year on HAL, and plan to stay 5 nights at the Hilton Tokyo near Shinjuku after.
I suggest to anyone that's going to do this cruise to book multiple stop airline ticket. Fly into Osaka 2-3 days prior then take a bullet train the morning of the cruise to Yokohama. After the cruise, stay in Tokyo (its literally next to Yokohama) for a few days before you fly home. This way You will get the best of your time and money. Maybe not Money.
Great video. Would you say Princess Diamond is the biggest, newest ship that offers cruises in Japan? Also was the ship extremely stable and not swaying? Out of all the summer months, which month is best for Japan in terms of temps?
For my fellow viewers, do yourselves a favor and learn the culture before visiting. Harmony and not bothering others in the public space is a big cultural value in Japan, they have to fit 125 million people into a country that is not that large. So researching and being a good guest is valuable daily for you as well as the locals. Don't litter, carry a small plastic bag and dispose if it at your hotel. And please be aware there are a lot more privacy laws in Japan about filming so ask at shops/stores first and try not to film people who may not wish to be filmed as they go about their lives. Don't just be a taker roaming the globe.
I would pay for a printable how to book on cruising Japan from start to finish. We would.love to cruise to Japan from California but it is intimidating.
Great blog! My wife and I sailed on Diamond Princess in January for her last Hawaiian cruise before returning to Japan. She was magnificent in every way. Because it was almost all American passengers, I don’t think many knew about the Izumi bath. I had it all to myself every time I went!
Odd question but is there any plaque or memorial to the passengers who died from Covid on the Diamond princess? It is a historical ship due to Covid and we will be boarding her in 2024 and just wondering if there was any notice of its place in Covid history. Thanks
Oh, I'm SO SO SO glad that you're doing this Japan cruise - I'm DESPERATE to add this part of the world to my list over the next couple of years, so I'll be watching very intently here!
Thank you! It’s from a little boutique and they sold out! I wish I had a link / sorry! I update my outfits here -->www.shopltk.com/explore/CruiseTipsTV and also www.amazon.com/shop/CruiseTipsTV
I just finished my Princess training yesterday as a travel agent and you've got me so excited about sailing on Princess! I've never sailed them and I can't wait! I remember your vlog from a few years back and I thought it was fascinating! Since I get a free cruise now, I'm really leaning towards a Japan and South Korea cruise. Looks absolutely amazing!!
Great vlog , I am planning a trip from Tokyo to Singapore on the princess discovery (2025) do you recommend princess cruises and Japan, this will be a one off bucket list trip for us, thanks
So glad this vlog popped up in my feed. Love your style of interaction with the camera. Very natural like you're talking with us as a friend. Perfect amount of concise entertaining information.
Interesting. I considered five different options for August 2024, with Diamond Princess being one of them. I actually went with choice #6... but I may do this cruise in 2025.
Thank you for the great/fun video, Sherry! I’m so happy you and your family had such a great time. We are staying at the Hyatt Regency Yokohama as well, in a few months pre-cruise. We were considering walking to the Celebrity Millennium but you have me wondering if doing that is too far to walk. Do you recall the taxi cost hotel to cruise terminal? If you don’t mind me asking- did you happen to complete the Japan Web info prior to your flight to help through customs? If yes, did it really speed things up? No visa is needed when traveling from US- correct? Thank you again!
How exciting that you’re going on this cruise. You’re going to have an amazing time. If the weather is not hot, the walk is extremely feasible if your luggage is relatively light. The taxi ride was under $15 getting from the hotel to the cruise port. I can’t seem to find my receipt, but I know that it was really cheap and really quick. It was just so incredibly hot that we would’ve been dripping with sweat even if it was a 15 minute walk. Yes we filled out the web registration in advance, and it did save us some time going through customs. They seem to allow you to move ahead in the line a bit if you have already got that forms completed. However, if it’s too much for you, just do it on arrival. No visas for us from the US.
@@CruiseTipsTV I just wanted to pop in and thank you for your advice about the Hyatt near the cruise port in Japan and for all of the info you shared. Japan is an AMAZING place, cruise was absolutely wonderful and the Hyatt in Yokohama was top notch. Wish we had another day in Yokohama and that hotel to be honest. Thanks for all you do!
So good to see one of your vlogs again! Always feel like we are there with you. We’ve been sailing with Princess since 2019. You are one of the first cruise content creators I watched and learned about Princess cruises. Thanks for sharing this lovely cruise! Can’t wait to see more.❤
I was so excited to watch this. We are going on the 10 day Spring flowers. We are flying from Houston to Haneda and are already booked at the Hyatt Regency. Basically doing the same travel. I’m taking notes since this is our first trip to Japan and looking forward to more videos.
That is so awesome to hear. You are going to be very happy with the hotel. I’m so glad that we had an extra day there after the cruise and honestly I think I’d be happy staying at a hotel for an entire week. It’s so incredibly comfortable.
We are going 2 days early but leaving day cruise ends because my daughter needs to be back at work. We are looking at doing Hakone 1 day trip on our own day before cruise if jet lag is not bad. We booked 1st night dining on cruise at 6pm. Is that too early to watch going under bridge if they show a 4:30 sail away????
You will love the Spring Flowers Cruise. We went on the last Spring Flowers Cruise before COVID and the first Spring Flowers Cruise after COVID. A group of our friends wanted to join us for the next Spring Flowers Cruise so we will be back once again this Spring with them - and it looks like you too! 😀
I don’t know why you think it is offensive to tip them??? We are simply not used to customers tipping us because we don’t have tipping culture but that doesn’t mean offensive at all. Wong information.
So glad to see the teen room! Did your teen have anything to add? My boys still talk about the Discovery kids' room (from a year ago!), and will be in the teen room when we're on Diamond. Also, I didn't see the video for this stateroom tour. Did I miss the link?
Wait, hold up, that tall kid is JR? lol I started watching you a few years ago but have not been online lately...what happened? I love Princess, my son has Aspergers it was great for him, the ship is fun but not so overwhelming for him. Japan has never been on my bucket list but looks fun. Love your dress
Hi Sheri enjoyed this as we have sailed on Diamond Princess 4 times she is one of our favourite ships We really miss the daily vlogs you used to do while on a cruise why have you stopped doing that instead of just a recap like this....on behalf of us and many of our friends PLEASE BRING THEM BACK !!!
It was located in Horizon Buffet on the Lido deck (14). I must admit I was really disappointed that Sterling was gone. The Brazilian replacement was nowhere near as good. But I suspect it’s another Princess saving measure.
Quick question…. When going through customs and immigration at Haneda will they accept a printout version of the 2 QR codes or does it need to be from the website or maybe a screenshot of them? Thanks in advance. Love your tv presence. You were born to be in front of a camera ❤
I brought both a printout and had them on my phone for myself and my wife just because I’m like that . Ultimately either would work. It’s a quick and painless process. If we hadn’t had them it would have taken an extra 2 minutes to go check in on a kiosk and get one. Plus , there were lots of people working by the kiosks to help get through the process. From the time we got off the plane, got luggage and were out the door was less than 10 minutes. Very quick and efficient. Hope you have a great time.
Huh you know you could stay at the airport hotel and princess can take you straight to the bus to the boat right? Heh people watching heh your going on a adventure not kidding just watch and you see.. Sherri as random this trip was you say it was unique in it self and wish a itinerary was random as it is as a real package? Just watch guys you understand just ask in advance just get your heads thinking lol I expected this to be honestly but didn’t expect to be this random.

No need to tip porters in Japan because they are employees, not slaves.

Typical princess sailings it’s ages 3-7, then 8-12, then teens 13-17 💗💗
I’m on this cruise July 2024. Thank you for the in depth review.

Thanks my friend and YES- time on land is the absolute BEST in Japan - the hotels really shine!

I just booked "this" cruise for July 2024 and started to search info and videos. Thanks for these. Br. Jukka from Finland.
Yes!!! I am also going 2024 and I am excited🤩🤩🤩
Arigato Gozaimasu 🙇🏽♂️
I would pay for a printable how to book on cruising Japan from start to finish. We would.love to cruise to Japan from California but it is intimidating.
Wow, that looks like it was an amazing trip! I want to see more! Definitely a bucket list adventure.
Definitely!!
Love this video!!! So well done and informative. Mama Bear you looked amazing in your outfit. ❤
Thank you so much!! 💙💙💙
Great video! Very informative and well done. Thanks! Don’t know if I’ll ever get to Japan, but I love learning about cruising from new places.
Thank you so much for watching. Hope you have a great weekend.
For Akita, how much was the shuttle to go to downtown Akita?
Great blog! My wife and I sailed on Diamond Princess in January for her last Hawaiian cruise before returning to Japan. She was magnificent in every way. Because it was almost all American passengers, I don’t think many knew about the Izumi bath. I had it all to myself every time I went!
Wrong theme. Must be all japanese.
This cruise looks amazing! Topher and I will have to get on Diamond Princess in the future!
Odd question but is there any plaque or memorial to the passengers who died from Covid on the Diamond princess? It is a historical ship due to Covid and we will be boarding her in 2024 and just wondering if there was any notice of its place in Covid history. Thanks
That would be so nice, but I don't think so!
Sheri how do you look so good after that long travel day! Not fair. 😂 I can't wait to see the rest in this series.
Oh thank you!
I so miss your vlogs of your trips. It feels like we are there with you!
Thank you so much. We had a lot of fun creating this one. It was an exciting day and we really wanted to share.
Agreeee....please bring back youre daily vlogs when cruising most others do them thats why we subscribe
I don’t know any service person who wouldn’t appreciate a tip. I disagree with your no tip decision.
It is very much a cultural difference, Japanese people are offended when you try to tip them.
Wow what a fun vacation!
We are going on May 2024 and staying at the same hotel like you. How much is the taxi to the cruise terminal?
It varies but I think we paid around $17
Loved the video! Embarkation day videos are my favorite.
Thank you for this Sheri! So glad to have you back in the region. Am going to come back to this video when RCCL releases the next JPN > SIN itinerary!
Yay! Hi! YES- I’d sure love to do that one again too!
Oh, I'm SO SO SO glad that you're doing this Japan cruise - I'm DESPERATE to add this part of the world to my list over the next couple of years, so I'll be watching very intently here!
Glad that you guys got to go back to Japan.
Thank you so much. We are too. It was a wonderful experience.

So so great! Leaving in just a few weeks on nearly the same itinerary! Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to try the Cucumber Togarashi!
So good to see one of your vlogs again! Always feel like we are there with you. We’ve been sailing with Princess since 2019. You are one of the first cruise content creators I watched and learned about Princess cruises. Thanks for sharing this lovely cruise! Can’t wait to see more.❤
Amazing was looking forward to the Japan vlog. Look how tall junior is now.
💚made to the end and saved. Will be doing a cruise in Asia not sure if on Princess
Did I hear right? Dallas? Btw, I still remember the 17-hour flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong via LA and Japan - crazy flight!
You did! We’re based out of Texas now 💗
I was so excited to watch this. We are going on the 10 day Spring flowers. We are flying from Houston to Haneda and are already booked at the Hyatt Regency. Basically doing the same travel. I’m taking notes since this is our first trip to Japan and looking forward to more videos.

He loved it so much. Here is his podcast review of the ship. Yes that state room tour is coming soon. Good catch!!!
Wait, hold up, that tall kid is JR? lol I started watching you a few years ago but have not been online lately...what happened? I love Princess, my son has Aspergers it was great for him, the ship is fun but not so overwhelming for him. Japan has never been on my bucket list but looks fun. Love your dress
I know! Our big boy!!!
Xoxo
Hi Sheri enjoyed this as we have sailed on Diamond Princess 4 times she is one of our favourite ships We really miss the daily vlogs you used to do while on a cruise why have you stopped doing that instead of just a recap like this....on behalf of us and many of our friends PLEASE BRING THEM BACK !!!
Thanks so much for the feedback my friend!!!
Hope to visit next year
Thanks for the video. I am wonder if the airport limo took you to Hyatt directly or you had to transfer on subway.
We walked the rest of the way- it’s not too far.
Hi , Great video, just wondering how much is the taxi cost from your hotel to the port ? Thanks.
It depends! About $9 approx the day we did it!
Does this ship have 2 bedroom suites? We never make our daughter sleep on a pullout bed when we travel
They do have several different types of suites yes. Another option is to book adjoining cabins.
Envy your Japan cruise!!! I have it down my bucket list! 😁 Thank you for sharing as usual! 🥰🥰👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much my friend. I hope you get to make it over there sometime soon.
@@CruiseTipsTV 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰🥰🥰
I want to see more too!!
Your outfit is so cute on you. Very informative video.
Thank you so much!
I was on Diamond Princess last week. Sterling Steakhouse is no more. It’s now a Brazilian restaurant offering. Nowhere near as good.
WOW! Really!? Where is the venue housed? Thanks so much for sharing this!!!!!!!
It was located in Horizon Buffet on the Lido deck (14). I must admit I was really disappointed that Sterling was gone. The Brazilian replacement was nowhere near as good. But I suspect it’s another Princess saving measure.
Quick question…. When going through customs and immigration at Haneda will they accept a printout version of the 2 QR codes or does it need to be from the website or maybe a screenshot of them? Thanks in advance. Love your tv presence. You were born to be in front of a camera ❤

Yes, I do think there’s a hotel right at the airport but it’s nice to get closer to the ship. I’m sorry I don’t understand your question though.
Thank you for your videos clips that help my cruises a lot easier and wishes you & your family have a great trip.
