Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 26, 2018 Author #303 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) Not sure why but the internet has been really bad since yesterday. I would have thought we would get a good signal now that we are in Japan. Luckily T-Mobile comes to the rescue with free unlimited international data. I'm not sure if it is a local requirement but I just lost all the stations on the TV also. On with the Blog- A quick subway trip and we visited a chocolate factory. We were really surprised to see how popular chocolate is in the region with many chocolate and sweet shops. They were also celebrating the Fall Season with a nicely decorated garden and play area for the children.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 27, 2018 Author #305 Share Posted September 27, 2018 In the late afternoon we visited another October Fest celebration with a wide variety of food and beverage. We had a 30 minute time on our own to grab a light lunch. A rain shower cane along and we took refuge in a tent. Luckily it was only a short shower.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 27, 2018 Author #309 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Got an e-mail from one of my private tours and she advised that Celebrity has cancelled Shimizu for 9/29 and they were processing a full refund. I checked and the ship will be advising of the change at 5:30. We will be diverting to Yokohama and will be overnighting there instead.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I checked on the status of Trami this afternoon, and am not surprised. But given the wording of the announcement last night I wondered if we were being prepared for an itinerary change. Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 28, 2018 Author #314 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hi,I'm loving this thread! Great details and so helpful as we will be in your cabin on 10/13. Was the port cancelled because of weather or damage from previous storms? Thanks so much for all your help, Meg Hi Meg Thank you for your kind words. The port was cancelled due the predicted arrival of Typhoon Trami. I don't believe there has been any damage yet as the storm is not suppose to start hitting until Saturday (our time). Many of the tours to Mt Fuji are going to be operated out of Yokohama instead (1 1/2 hour drive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 28, 2018 Author #315 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Friday Slept in this morning and didn't awaken until 9:00. The seas were a little rough last night but we have calm seas and blue skies this morning. We will be getting our morning briefing form "the voice from above" (as Captain Alex says daily) at 10:00.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 28, 2018 Author #317 Share Posted September 28, 2018 It is a beautiful day at sea and in the 70’s. People are out sunbathing and walking in shorts and T’s. Noticed they are netting and tying down the chairs on deck 11 forward. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
