We have had to carry passports at various cruise ports, eg Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Japan is the same. It isn't up to the cruise line but the country you are visiting.

Not US passport holders?

I have to clear cookies regularly for celebrity. It's the only one I have issues with. Cannot log in at all today with safari but can with chrome. It's the worst website I've had to deal with.

Right here

When someone on that cruise starts it. You could do it.

I checked this out this morning. I can cancel using the link so it's there.

We were lucky enough to transit the Suez just under a year ago and also berth overnight at Haifa. Can't see it happening for a long time which makes all ships trips to and from North to Southern Hemisphere difficult.

Delete cookies. I have to do this every couple of days.

Use messenger or WhatsApp for communications. Only wifi needed at both ends.

Nothing for me for Japan next year.

Beat me to it. It's a paid for restaurant. Not a buffet.

I've been reading and rereading the three TR's you've done. They are a wealth of info. Thankyou. We are doing a B2B in April May next year on Millenium. Some crossover ports but one has an overnighter in Osaka plus an overnighter in Kobe and the other has an afternoon and full day in Kobe.

For me Chrome is the same as safari. Still get the cookie issue. I clear both browser cookies and it works again. For a day or so. There's also an annoying pop up every time I go into my cruise and that stops everything loading. I have to stop it then reload the page and try again. The second time the pop up doesn't appear and it's ok. It's a horrible website. I'd forgotten how bad it is, from pre covid. Thats five years ago for me, I'd have expected it would have been fixed.

This happens to me, all the time. Any day if I've logged in previously. It's a pain. You have to clear all their cookies. Then it works.

As others have said, your phone must have connected to the ship signal when just a few miles offshore. And the ship signal isn't considered part of the international plan.
