Thank you all!

I am having trouble finding the answer to this question and hopefully someone can help me. We are on the Diamond next week and have a shore excursion booked for Busan. The ship docks at 2:30 and the excursion is at 3:00. I tried to order Korean currency from my bank but they do not offer this currency. I really only need a small amount just in case we want to buy a souvenir or snack.

Can I exchange USD for Korean currency onboard? Only other idea is to exchange at the Tokyo airport when we arrive in Japan if that is an option.

We are taking the Princess cruise out of Kobe on June 10th but are flying into Tokyo a couple of days before then. Can we take the Shinkansen the morning of the 10th? Will there be enough time - boarding ship around 2 PM but can board up until 4 PM? And what time should we catch the train? We are looking at staying in a hotel next to the Tokyo train station.

Also, it sounds like I cannot buy the train tickets until we get to Japan. Is that true? We will be there late on the 8th. Will we still be able to get tickets?

Please let me know if this is doable?
