I did a trip to Japan last week. I just went to Japan for 1 day. So I played on the ship and not in Japan. I was on the ship for 4 days. The ship is too big, it has 20 floors. There is a park and many big swimming pools on the boat. I could use go karts on the ship. The ship is called the ‘Norwegian joy’. There is too many people on the boat, they need to wait a long time (2 hours) to get on the boat, so we got a VIP card. So we had our own swimming pool.
