Reminder to self - ask for extra caramelized onions.

From what I see on the menu the only other filet you can get any night is the one for purchase. I would hope that would be the higher quality.

Just an FYI, I was just looking at my booking again because I thought I might have to change the time to later but realized with a Non reserved ticket there is not specific time. This ticket is good for any train on the date booked. None of the information on the app or in my confirmation show any time. This is from their website:

This is the offer I just got today in my email. I get both emails and snail mail postcards.

I responded above that I have gotten multiple new offers while having a cruise already booked with BCC. I have 2 currently booked and just got another new offer this week.

Yes, I currently have 2 free BCC bookings for next spring and just got another offer this week. I actually booked the 2nd one after I had already booked the first one and got another offer with more dates.

You can contact them on their website - https://dokotrip.com/ They also have their tours on Viator if you prefer to book that way. I booked initially on Viator but then changed 2 direct to them so they didn't have to pay whatever the commission is to Viator. They do not require any deposit and full payment 1-2 days before tours. I will try to remember to come back next week after we have used them.

Where have you heard that the CS isn't getting their mini bar now? This post is all about Sky Suites, but I do not remember any posts regarding anyone noticing a change to CS.

Not sure what changes you are referring to, everything so far that has been discussed is only relevant to Sky Suites and you are in a Royal Suite.

What time did you dock in Osaka and were you able to get off the ship pretty quick?

No our sailing does not go there.

Yes that is the line we will be taking but we will be changing to the Tozai line to get closer to the hotel we are staying at.

We will be taking the Metro at Kyoto Rail Station to a stop not far from our hotel.

Not the person you asked but I am on Millie later this month and we have an overnight in Osaka and we are spending the night in Kyoto so we can start early the next day and get in as much as possible.

I bought my tickets online with the SmartEx app, this is what the Japan Rail shows to use. I booked non reserved tickets for the day we dock just in case we cannot make a specific time. If you use the App you can also use that to scan the tickets to board without having to get a paper ticket. I printed our QR codes also just in case.

Yes it is on mine also but as an entrée. I believe Jim said he saw it as an app, that is what I was responding to.

Thank you for the recommendation.

I am on Millie in less than 2 weeks and the current sailing and my sailing still show the old Chef B menus. I also do not see any slow poached lobster as an app, they do have the Chilled Lobster salad.

That is why you need to select the Current sailing for that ship. Look at the app and the 10/12-21 sailing, that should have the current menus.

On the APP change to a current sailing on the same ship and you will see the new menus.

I am using DOKOTRIP for Kyoto in a few weeks. We will be taking the train from Osaka to Kyoto and spending the night in Kyoto. Then we will be using the tour company the next day and they will return us to the ship.

Booked all of my tours separately. Some of the more global companies were way too expensive. Even in Japan I have booked some separate companies.

If you are not receiving offers you may want to contact BCC and ask if you are on their mailing list. I get both email and snail mail offers all the time.

Yes but I have read that they all share the same kitchen and it is possible to order from any of the other restaurants their "special" dishes.

I thought it did not really matter because you are able to order from any of the other restaurants?
