Good morning and thanks for responding. Internet was limited on board the cruise. We ended up doing a bus tour and then walking around to visit the church, museum and sea life centre, all in the pouring rain! The boat tour was cancelled due to weather and date change. We still enjoyed our visit! Thanks

Hello @Aquahound We are visiting Kodiak for the first time. I hope you don't mind me drawing on your knowledge. We are torn between a 3 hour bus tour and a 2 1/2 hour boat tour of the island towards the end of April. I've been told that you only get to see the beauty of the island from a small boat. Would that be your view? I'm also conscious that it might be unbearably cold! Appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!

Thank you so much. I believe it’s Tokyo International cruise terminal. As you say, we shouldn’t believe all we read! I had read that the commute wouldn’t be too bad using the JR line that circles the city. I’d really appreciate your view (vs what I read) on how long it would take to get from Ueno station to Tokyo station (assuming that’s a good central point). Thanks.

Hello & thanks for all of your helpful advice. I’m relatively new to this site, so apologies if you’ve discussed this before. We are spending a couple of days in Tokyo ahead of our cruise and I’ve booked a hotel in Ueno, partly because it appears straightforward to get to from Narita airport and partly because of Sakura viewing in Ueno park. We would also like to spend some time visiting key places in central Tokyo. Is Ueno too far out? Is the area somewhere you’d recommend for first time visitors? (It’s not too late to change!) Lastly, would a taxi from there to Tokyo cruise terminal be relatively easy? Many thanks.

This is great and very helpful indeed. Many thanks.

Hello. I'm on a first time Asia cruise. Would be great to hear if you ended up using them. Thanks
