from my recollection when the ship was in Aus/NZ that was the case but there were very few people who took advantage (I used it daily - sauna fanatic) There were different hours for clothed/unclothed and no time or visit limits. This of course may all change with a Japanese cruise in Japan where I assume it would be much more popular.

You weren't wrong - a lot of the excursions were fully booked, we managed to scrape in, but I day is in Japanese - that's gonna be interesting! I'm sure I can look up information about each site on google and get most of the information and the rest is just enjoying the sights.

@Ken the cruiser This thread has been so informative, thx for posting and everyone's participation. I do have one question - in past cruises, we could either book excursions before leaving, book on the ship or take a punt and see if there were any excursions offered 'on land' by providers other than Princess - is that the case with Japanese cruises?
