Trying the First Class Royal Cabin on the Japanese Ferry from Osaka

I'm going to take Hankyu Ferry from Osaka to Fukuoka and try First Class Royal, which is the biggest cabin on the ship.
I tried Royal on other Hankyu Ferry from Kobe to Fukuoka before.
It was gorgeous

    The name Funeko is funny, because it's a portmanteau word. It's half "fune", which is Japanese for ferry, and half "neko", which is Japanese for cat, so the name is perfect, it's "Ferrycat".

    🇧🇷🇧🇷 Personally, my favorite videos from this channel, are the ones about ferries. Not the fancy ones, but the popular ( down to earth) ones. The things I like the most are: the food, the bathroom ( when its is shown) and the bed. I have the impression that , to take a shower inside these vessels may be something quite expensive because, quite rarely, we see the showers. Am I right? Taking a hot and warm bath; sleeping clean and comfortable on the sea.... must be something quite good. Why do I think in this way? Because you are sleeping with the waves'balance. I have traveled a lot by airplane, but ships...I don't know how to explain this but, the ocean causes fear... a lot of it.🇧🇷🇧🇷
