This cruise visited 12 ports around Japan. There was only 1 Sea Day which makes it a very active cruise. We docked at all ports so there was no need to tender.
This was our first visit to Japan so we were able to add a pre cruise land tour of or own. With the back to back option we were able to go by ship from Japan to Alaska. They return to Japan in late July so that re positioning cruise would be attractive as well.
The retrofit of the Quest is great. They removed the Casino and now call the area The Den. The bar is still there and the piano has been moved from the corner to the wall in the middle of the room. There is also and extensive of collection of travel books to all destinations. Great for guests to research destinations for future cruises.
Front of ship so no noise from the propeller. New gray toned theme for decorating in the room. They have added 2 clothes hooks on the wall. There is still a shower curtain - no glass doors. Beds were comfortable. We opted for the single bed configuration rather than twin beds. Cabin attendants were excellent. Room was always cleaned well and promptly after to put our the "clean our room" sign.
