EP: 2 Pacific Crossing Reality: 7 Days, Unforgettable Meals & a Missing Sunday
In this second episode of our Seattle to Japan cruise vlog, we move from Alaska’s rugged coastline to Japan’s northern shores- this episode captures the heart of our Pacific crossing. We chat with the captain about rerouting through rough seas (adding 250 miles to our journey), share how we kept ourselves entertained during seven sea days plus highlight a few unforgettable meals along the way. Plus, we demystify the time change magic—why we lost an hour each night and skipped Sunday altogether. Join us as we sail into Kushiro, Japan, with stories, scenery, and a few surprises from life at sea. Subscribe and follow along as we cruise across the ocean toward Japan! We’d also love your feedback adding to our Westerdam “must do” since we have so many sea days in front of us to get to Japan so please drop your tips and tricks in the comments!
