Life Checklist: My First Cruise Trip Abroad!

I've always wanted to try a cruise vacation, and I finally checked it off my list! Starting from Hong Kong, we sailed to Naha, Japan, and then back to Hong Kong—a six-day, five-night journey that was incredibly hassle-free! Before departure, I did some research online about this ship. Everyone said it offered great value for money. I was initially worried that it might compromise the experience, but it turned out I was overthinking! The ship's facilities were comprehensive, covering everything from dining to entertainment, making the trip far more comfortable than I had imagined. We arrived in Naha at around 4 PM and stayed overnight, returning the next day at noon. It was the perfect opportunity to explore the city, enjoy some local food, and take a little breather. It was exactly the kind of travel experience I had envisioned (I'll write a separate post about the onshore experience in Japan!). In short, this cruise trip completely changed my perception of cruising. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and effortless way to travel abroad!
