@Ken the cruiser & @vlin07 I'm getting off in Yokohama and hope to take a later day train to the airport. It any of you venture into the city, is Yokohama worth seeing? How far away is the train station??
There is a beautiful shopping area called Marine & Walk yokohama , a 10 mins walk or 4 mins taxi ride from cruise terminal😊

A suggestion based on my experience of this trip:
the wifi on this ship was slow. We also bought Japan data-only SIM cards. They are cheap and speed is great. My nieces even used them to download movies on their iPhones and watched them in staterooms. when we were at port or on land, we switched from princess wifi to SIM cards. And every time when the ship left port, we still could enjoy high speed internet from the SIM cards for a couple more hours until the ship was too far from land.

Did you ever get the opportunity to schedule an arrival time? Not off to a good start…I’m on the Diamond 19th (today) to the 27th. Was never able to pick an arrival group. It kept saying it was too far in the future. I checked this morning, and now I can’t because it says the ship has sailed. 😂😢
Any suggestions on what time I should head to the ship?
how has the cruise been so far? Any ideas on how many people are going to be on this sailing? I would love to hear just a quick summary of how your first week went. I started roll call for this week, but literally nobody joined.
We arrived at osanbashi terminal around 11am jul 10. The general check-in is FIFO, so first come first serve. We got a ticket with a group number on it. Then we waited until our group # was called to start check in process. Around 12 pm, we were already on deck 14 to enjoy lunch.😊

@Ken the cruiser or @vlin07 do they have all the elements to make sushi or upon in the buffet? ALT: is vegetarian sushi available onboard?
The World Fresh Market on Deck 14 has scattered sushi/chirashizushi. Does not say it’s vegetarian sushi. Hope that helps.😊

I wonder how the non-PCL touring guests are making out.
Hard to believe in 2023 that a major port has a terminal building with no AC!
PCL started to give out arrrival immigration tickets at 7AM. We waited in line to get tickets at 6:50am and got tickets of group 15. Group 15 was called around 9:25am, and we cleared custom around 9:40am. Immediately found two empty buses going to the closest subway station. 3 minutes later we were already at subway station. 10:20am we arrive at Osaka downtown.

Welcome to CC and thanks for your contributions to the thread. If I might make a suggestion regarding the posting of multiple pictures to make them individually stand out better. After posting a picture, add a line below it which includes at least one space, so it thinks there is something there, before adding your next picture. That way each picture stands out versus looking all bunched together.
Thanks for the suggestion, Ken!Vincent the newbie

Does anyone know if it is walking distance from the Busan cruise terminal to the Busan metro subway station? Thanks.
about 20-25 minutes

Yes, the shuttle is $20 round trip. But we found Uber and Kakao apps are quite convenient and cheap to hail a taxi. We went to mipo coast train station to ride capsule train and a shopping outlet. We used both apps multiple times. Cars always came in less than 5 minutes.
Here are some pics of capsule trains.

MSC Seascape single-day one-device WI-Fi price
in MSC Cruises
Posted
Anybody knows the single-day one-device WI-FI price when purchased on board? I am thinking about pre-purchasing WI-FI package for the whole trip (20% discount), or buying single-day WI-Fi on board when needed…
