I’m disabled and travelling anywhere & staying in a balanced way so I can go see things or even say walking in the countryside is extremely rare. But I’m quite happy to see things through someone else’s eyes and camera 😀 a lot less painful too. I’ve seen so many things around the world I consider myself lucky to have the internet, when I was in the last year of school before going to high school we got 1 pc in school that didn’t really do much 🤨 I wouldn’t have considered the idea of being at home and watching someone take me on their trip and experiences 🙂

Such a nice closure 🙌 It's like some sort of a compensation for the other time, when you bought a light stick, so that you could wave at the guys on the platform, but couldn't, because the deck was closed 🚢 I'm so glad you didn't drop the camera 😁 Thank you for this lovey video! 🎇

So not only did you get to wave off to those at the dock, they provided the glow stick? Not only that, right after Solo gets to chow down on two kinds of curry? Don't want to jinx it but it looks like everything is coming up Solo. I liked the design of that room as well, the wrap around from the headboard to the seating area to the desk was a nice look. The bathroom, though on the small side, was completely serviceable. Looked like a really nice trip, thanks for sharing.

My feeling is going on a decent length ferry ride is like a low key cruise. You’re out on the water and can get some nice fresh air,exercise, and rest. It’s of course less like a party but still can be very relaxing. In addition less formal.

I’ve been meaning to ask you to show us what things are for sale in the small shops on the ferries. Thank you for doing it in this video

A ferry with a string quartet playing in the foyer. That surely has to be a first. Loved the send off with the glow sticks, balloons and the ship's horn, not surprised it made you jump, they can be very loud. That cabin was as well appointed as the one I had on a medium size cruise liner for a trip halfway around the World. Another really interesting video and I like the little touches of humour you add to your descriptions.

I might be wrong but I think the string quartet was there because it was one day after the release of the ship to the public. A kind of celebrating thing for the people who are first to use the ship. I don't know if they are there if you go on the same trip a year later. But if you know the answer, hey let me know!

@@johnmiller8975 The trip from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert is around 10 hours on BC Ferries and the trip from Bellingham, WA to Seward, AK is three days to four days depending on how you split up the trip and you really should stop in Skagway to ride the only rack and pinion railway in North America and see scenery and then stay in Glacier Bay National Park and take the Glacier Bay boat tour which is a multi day affair with whale watching and bear watching tours so 2 weeks to do it right. All the while you're surrounded by the most gorgeous scenery in the world with the highest oceanside mountains in the world. Check out the videos and you'll be amazed. Crossing the Spencer Sea between Glacier Bay and Seward can be an experience and when I did it the waves were breaking over the seventh deck and as I was taking pictures from the top deck I looked up and the captain was taking pictures from the bridge so I knew that we were truly in it.

Yes, you will always remember that they waved back at you this time! I always watch your trying to be seen waving and to get them to wave back. Your videos inspire me to one day travel in Japan and wave my own glow stick on a ferry. Thank you. My in-laws in Denmark always wave when someone who leaves until out of sight. This is why I love that you try to wave to the land crew as you pull away from port. I am happy you made the sunrise! Thought you may have overslept it when you stated you slept.

I want that tray / plate of 9 sections 🙋🏻‍♀️🇺🇲

I love the mountains and wide open spaces where I live, inland. But I miss ready access to ocean travel. Seems so magical. Japan does it exquisitely well.

That's quite the cabin - kind of like a little hotel room! OK, you paid almost $300 all told for the trip... but I've taken airline flights the same distance, jammed into what is basically a flying bus with 200 other people for the same cost. And given all the stress of the airport and time spent getting in and out of airports, a 45 minute flight can really wind up taking four hours. I much prefer this method... now to figure out how to duplicate the experience on land... 🤪

They must have watched your videos, and left a go-stick in the cabin for you, lol.

A brand new ferry! And first class deluxe to boot! What an exciting experience! And just like before, I love the humor! Your fried egg does look so much happier swimming in the curry rice!

A statue of Captain Harlock at the end of your ferry ride. Outstanding. He's my favorite anime character.

Haha very nice! That ferry almost reminds me of a cruise ship, complete with music and even celebrations! And such interesting cuisine! Jealous!!
