Embarking on day 1 of my 10 day Japan Circle/Nebuta Summer Festivals cruise on the Princess Cruise Lines, Diamond Princess.
I take you through the embarkation process on the Diamond Princess. Once aboard, I give you a tour of my extended balcony stateroom L310 (the closest room to the pizzeria and bar). Next, I take you on a tour around the ship and show you some of the pools. Around 4:00PM, the Diamond Princess sets sail from Yokohama and the sail away party begins. After a drink or two at the sail away party, I head to the top deck to get a good view of the Yokohama bridge as the ship sails underneath. To close out that night, we head to see the two cruise directors for the show of the night. Two cruise directors, one English and one Japanese. The vast majority of this ship's passengers are Japanese, so dual cruise director system is crucial. Enjoy this vlog of my first day on the Diamond Princess!
