🇭🇰I chose Spectrum of the Seas for my first cruise and was completely amazed!

For my first cruise, I chose Spectrum of the Seas and was completely blown away! From embarkation to disembarkation, it felt like staying in a mobile five-star hotel. Here's a summary of my real-life experience and some tips for avoiding pitfalls!

🛏️ Room Experience
Room: Oceanfront Suite J4
Pros: Large floor-to-ceiling windows, exclusive access to Oceanfront Restaurant, no need to crowd for meals, buffet prepared by a star-rated chef, and watching the sunset over the ocean is truly relaxing! 🌅
Cons: A bit cramped, and suites vary in size for the same price, so I recommend packing less.
Tip: Book a cruise near the bow in advance to avoid smoke drifting into your room during the cruise.
🎉Entertainment
Onboard entertainment: Skydome shows, acrobatics, and musicals—never boring! There's also piano recitals and performances by piano singers—you can request songs! (English required)
Deck surfing, Polaris viewing balls, rock climbing, bumper cars, skydiving...highly recommended! (Some options require additional payment.)
🧳 Itinerary in Japan
Traveling with a tour group will be very tight, but the cruise ship docking station is quite far from the city center (especially in Kumamoto!!!). Traveling on your own requires careful planning of your round-trip route. Furthermore, due to the limited time available, you'll only be able to see a few sights in the city...

📌 Summary
✅ Suitable for: Couples/Family/Friends
🚫 Not suitable for: People prone to seasickness (especially on upper and lower floors) or solo travelers (can be a bit boring)
Overall Experience: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
