Well, if you look hard, there is usually one onsen that allows tattoos. I used a gym in Korea where everyone but me had major tattoos. Not the typical junior businessman crowd, but a great bunch of people.

In most of Asia, tattoos are a sign of gang membership. The "right" kind of people don't have tattoos, and will not go to places where tattoos are allowed.

Roy, I have always hoped I would have a chance to thank you in person for your blogs, but my health and yours make that unlikely now. It's too long a story to tell here, but the blog helped me get through dark times. I was trapped in a hospital room, but you took me on a world cruise. I thought you should know that your effort brought a little of God's light to a fellow traveler. I thank you, and wish you the best. Mark.

She started as the Radisson Diamond, moved on to become Asia Star, then China Star, an is now laid up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_China_Star

B46 is a ways off from the terminal, but there is a shuttle bus to it, so I would guess parking/checkin remain the same. https://cruiseportwiki.com/LosAngeles https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Outer+Harbor%2FBerth+46/@33.7149348,-118.2751567,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x80dd37bf38979e7b:0x9157079449c6a915!8m2!3d33.7149348!4d-118.2751567 RSSC seems to be the only cruise line assigned to it.

Thank you for taking the time to post, and thank you again for posting menus. For those of us who cannot be traveling right now, it helps to remind us of why we do. I hope your trip went well. Mark

Well, for those who complain that cruises always go to the same places, this one visits Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, Tristan da Cunha. Their nearest neighbor is St. Helena, and they have a total population of 266. The Insignia will have four times the population when she arrives. That shore visit alone might be worth the trip.
