  1. I think it would be interesting if you could get into the Drivers Areas and see what their accommodation was like. Being a former truck driver and having had to use the BC Ferry system, there os no love or special treatment there, but it's only a 3-hour (ish) sail. As for the ferry between Nova Scotia to one of ports on Newfoundland, and it's an over-nighter one.

  2. I thought the old style ferry was lovely. Yes, the bedding decor/conditions were spartan but you made it a nice experience. The ship seemed clean and very well cared for. Pride…. just lovely.

  3. Was cute what you said about the blanket❤️
    The amount of food you eat in one sitting, you must have a tape worm! How can you eat so much!?

  4. me: i need to fly to a meeting today. take me to the airport
    Solo Travel Japan: i just got off a scary overnight ferry & i'd like to have chicken for lunch. take me to the airport.

  5. Even your old, somewhat run down ferries are newer and in better condition than the “new” ones here in Sweden lol.

  6. Every time I see the food, it reminds me of something prisoners in jail would eat….sorry….bleeeeechhhhhh OMG the breakfast is disgusting.

  7. The standard of the ship shows it's worked hard, but the standard of the food was not as good as the more modern ferries you travel on

  8. This ship is now in the hands of an Indonesian ferry company named DLU (Dharma Lautan Utama) Ferry and the name is changed to "Dharma Ferry V", despite the "horror" vibe, Indonesians consider this as a "luxury" ship. I boarded this ship 2 days ago from Surabaya to Balikpapan and I'd say this is the best ship I've rode compared to Dharma Ferry VII (Ex Sunflower Satsuma), maybe because it's considered as a "new" ship.

  9. I am very reassured to see that this ferry is less creepy that the title suggests ! 😌🚢 It's true that the interior design looks older than other current ferries in Japan, and this particularly in the corridors and dormitories. 😅 But this ferry also has its own charm as it keeps its authenticity. 😊🛳 Moreover, it offers a great variety of practical services and some attractions like the vending machines and the rich, yummy food from the restaurants bring some joy to this quite old ferry. 😄🌞

    Anyway, there's always the possibility to enjoy the wonderful views of the sea and of the cities of Kobe and Miyazaki from outside. 🌅🏙🙌🏻

  10. In three days, I start my second trip to Japan. And thanks to your videos, I booked a ferry trip from Tomakomai to Ōarai. This will be great 😊
    Danke!
