I was a Navy electrician. I'm familiar with how shipboard ventilation works, and this is my opinion: The staff was lying to you. Smoke was not coming from the smoking room, as it would be vented directly outboard. It was the crew on the bridge most likely, or possibly another location. They're not going to follow their own rules. It's easier for them to smoke there and then give occasional refunds, and they're certainly not going to "look into it." The air cleaner in the room was put there so that sometimes the offended passenger like yourself will be appeased and a refund will not be required.
I agree. It wouldn't make any sense to have the smoking room in the bow of the ship; it would be at the stern. It's a shame, Solo Travel, because that was a beautifully-decorated suite. Unfortunate that the restaurant you were looking forward to eating at was closed. Oh well; you must return when all the restrictions etc are over and make another video for us to enjoy!
Aside from some bad luck, it seems like that room would only be good during the day. If you can't open the curtains or use the balcony, then a night trip would be a waste. The ship seemed really nice, and the crew was kind, so that was good. Beautiful scenery as well.
From what he said you can’t open the curtains at night with the light on, if the lights off you can? Would give you a better view at night to have the lights off anyway However if you can’t open the curtains at night at all that would be as you said a waste of money Something to be said for sealing to have cigarette smoke coming in at night too
@@mortuus4601 Japanese have a huge thing about privacy, that's why. Also, it's not required to attach a face to each channel. If I ever got popular here, I'd troll subscribers with my face reveals because it's not important.
@@ThyPandora i agree if i was putting any content out id not wish to show my face either. this person is connecitng with the world the way they want to and putting out some interesting content. good on em
@@mortuus4601 I like the way he does these videos. The way some people do videos is all about them yammering on and on and showing themselves and making it about them and not about what they want to show us. These Solo Travel Japan videos are very peaceful and serene to watch.
I'm sure you were disappointed with not being able to stay in such a beautiful suite. I'm glad you were refunded for your trouble. Merry Christmas and am looking forward to the next trip!
Aw man yeah I get it. Both my parents are smokers and I grew up with asthma because of it. I’m married and moved out now but when we go to their home my eyes start burning and it starts to get hard to draw a full breath after a while. I’m glad they let you sleep elsewhere. ❤️
Been viewing these ferry reviews for a few months. This one is the first where a crew member escorted a passenger to the cabin and showed it to the passenger. Thank you for the excellent videos.
Well... that's the most unfortunate journey you've ever shared with us so far. Cigarette smoke leaking into what should be one of the best room ever(with the best private balcony ever), and expected local restaurant closed. What a shame. I was wondering what the ship operator gonna do to compensate the issue you had with the room, maybe some rebate or discount or whatever, not expecting them fully refunding the room charge. That's A++ from me.
I feel his agony of being unable to sleep with cigarette smell. I had the same issue in HK, I couldn't even move to another room. I got fed up and complained about it then they apologised but it still didn't helped at all. I spent about 2-3 nights, and I quickly checked out. It was a good room if it didn't had cigarette smell. I feel that smokers should not be allowed to smoke in rooms if it affects other people. It's very inconsiderate. There is always the smoking corner that they can go to.
Its also dangerous for anyone who is sick, elderly, asthmatic, pregnant, with kids or breathing issues to be in that room. On top of it being just very unpleasant if you dont smoke or dont like smoke smells, they either need to ban smoking from the room or only give it to folks ok with the smell.
お疲れ様です♪ Despite all the unforeseen issues, I think it was still a good experience!! Good customer service is always appreciated✨ Its nice how there was a crew waiting for you so they could give you a tour. Glad you didn’t have to stay in that cabin the whole night! Thank you for bringing us along~
The suite was beautiful - such a disappointment that the cabin was uninhabitable (but great that you got a full refund). I hope that they find the source and fix it quickly!
Sad to see you were leaving back for Hakata so soon. :( Fukue is a very relaxing and beautiful place, and one of my favorite parts of Nagasaki prefecture.
ONE OF THE FUNNIEST VIDEOS I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE PUNCH LINE IS AT THE VERY END. I AM GOING TO CALL THIS VIDEO - THE NOOOOOOOOOOOO!. ROTFLMAO!!! HEY SOLO, Mate; I am convinced if you became an Undertaker; people will stop dying. You poor bloke, how many times is that you have arrived on an Island in the wee hours of the morning and found every restaurant closed. Sorry mate but I cannot stop laughing. I must say your videos are extremely entertaining. I wish you would film your face at times like this. Cheers my friend.
STJ - I'm sorry about the room situation. Very disappointing indeed. On a positive note, you were still able to enjoy the scenery - and it was beautiful. With the refund - you can purchase a ticket for another ferry trip! And I can't wait to see the video of that adventure! Thanks for making my soul happy.
Thank you for this video. I am sure (at least - I hope) that, by now, they have fixed the problem of cigarette smoke leaking into the Suite. That is a serious problem that ruins the experience. But, man, such a nice Suite. And the balcony, wow!!! Perhaps, it's best to book the suite for the trip back to Fukuoka.
That is a huge suite and look at all those windows! It's a beautiful room, very nice. And you wouldn't even know you were on a boat from how big the shower is, it's all so nice. And wow, that is an amazing balcony. You could have a whole private party out there, pretty cool. And that really is such a shame about the cigarette smoke... Sorry you didn't get to stay the night in that lovely suite.
Your cabin was really nice. Too bad you couldn’t sleep there. And the private balcony was huge! Good they refunded your money. I was disappointed to not see you eat on the ferry. Those are my favorite parts of your videos. How did you go without food for so long? 😂 And the restaurant being closed at the end - NOOOOOOO!!!
Thank you for this episode! The large room would be ideal for a family w/young children or special needs travel. It’s amenities, shower/toilet, & beds are very nice for overnight travel. 😌
I can't stand cigarette smoke either so I understand you completely. The balcony was so huge and the view amazing! Would be nice to sit there in the summer and watch the sunset and sunrise.
I totally agree! I’m still shocked when I see the smoking rooms on the ferries. After so many years in the uk being just about free of it to see it is jarring
This look amazing glad you were able to make the best of it despite the smoking leak issue in your suite. I'm glad that the staff was kind & the management was kind enough to give you a refund for the suite you had initially paid for. 👍
I hope that stunning view covered for all the discomfort you had on the journey. Thank you for sharing! Now I really want to go on a ferry voyage myself :D
i love watching these because theres almost no talking because the words are in captions and because it reviews a foreign area. i thinks its really interesting. thank you for making these videos :))
I was a Super at an Holiday Inn Express here where I live. The owner operator I worked for would have been in a rage at the conditions there. The room looked dirty and unsanitary. The bed covers needed to be steamed and ironed. No smoking anywhere except designated outside areas. A refund and or another room would have been provided with a sincere apology, as well as points for the next visit. Wow! I am amazed at the mess!
As someone that also can't stand and breathe with cigarette smoke, it was heartbreaking to see that you had to leave that suite and the comfy bed. Glad you had a refund, and also glad you shared the beautiful balcony with us. The view was stunning. I hope your next travel ferry will be a good one! Always watching your videos.
My brother! This was the most painful ferry ride to watch! hahaha No food, smoky room, didn't sleep... YEAH, I HOPE YOU GOT A REFUND! hahaha, the views on the porch there were nice. haha! Oh love, hope the next trip treats you more kind. Wishing you a happy christmas my friend. From NE Washington USA. I hope to visit someday, maybe you can be my tour guide and help me book ferry rides haha.
Merry Christmas, and thanks for another great video! Sorry to hear about the air quality issues with the suite. I hope they figure out where the offending air was intruding and you are able to give a proper review of the room.
I'm sorry to see your room had that issue. I detest the smell of cigarettes (grew up around smokers and it brings back terrible memories as well) but I am so grateful they reimbursed you for the room! May your next trip be both peaceful and smoke free! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us 💝
I understand your issue with the cigarette smoke. I couldn't sit in my garden in the summer, smoke was drifting across from a neighbours home. So many of us don't smoke or gave up many years ago, that when visiting somewhere like Japan, where so many people smoke... I remember it when I was there with work many times. It's a smell that gets to the back of one's nose... I'm glad to hear you were reimbursed for the cabin.
Oh no! How frustrating! I’m glad you were given a refund. I hope they fix the issue (I suspect a faulty vent) and you get to try again. Laying in bed with the curtains up would have been an amazing way to fall asleep and wake up! I hope you were able to get some breakfast before your return trip. And, as always, thank you for bringing us along 🥰
What a shame about the smoke. 😔 Especially as the room and balcony were one of the best I have seen. I liked the ferry for being a bit smaller and more cosy than others. And the views were lovely!
Ooh my dear friend, the room was beautiful but not the smoke, your stomach was hungry but the restaurant was closed..!!! I just hope you had a good trip anyway..!! I always enjoy your videos..!! When you come to The United States (after all the pandemic ends ¿?) visit Chicago, I’ll give you a tour..!! Happy New Year…!!!
I agree with Ron M's comment- the crew were lying to you. It was the crew having a sneaky cigarette on board. I've been on a few Euro ferries where smoking was permitted in many areas onboard but in the cabins, no smell from exterior sources got in at all. And that poor excuse of not using your balcony at night, how ridiculous! It was to stop you from seeing (or filming) the crew smoking.
I SO understand the issues with the smoke. I would have been so bummed out that I couldn't stay in that incredible room! But, being able to breathe is far more important. I'm glad the ferry line is making up for that bad experience by refunding your money. I was all ready for a food review and then to find the restaurant was closed? NOOOO! I do hope you found somewhere good to eat nearby!
I am sorry it was not a great trip. Lousy sleep, no food 😦. I have a terrible time with cigarette smoke too. I hope your next trip is much more pleasant for you. I wish you a Happy New Year filled with joy, laughter and more adventures!🥂
I would have to say, normally the suites on ferries that you book are pretty luxurious looking, but this looks unequivocally and indescribably luxurious !🤩 Edit: Such a shame you weren’t able to stay in the suite overnight. My deepest sympathies! 😔 But if it’s any consolation, what a hospitable crew!
Not allowed go outside on the balcony, not allowed to open the curtains at night, and the vent is connected to the smoking room. Yeah it's super fancy...
@@aloysfudanshi The ferries and all kinds of ships use light to communicate at night, and something like opening the curtains while the light is on can mess things up. But I do agree with you on the smoke issue. That's a really bad one.
This is such a nice channel. Thnx for all of your vids! I used to travel abroad from Japan a couple of times of year but you are my go-to guidebook for travel now...Keep up the good work and thanks!👍😊😍
Makes me so sad when things don't quite work out for you. I told my husband, with this guy's luck the restaurant is going to be closed...and it was! Geez!
I've seen more of you in other videos. How are you not HUGE from eating all of that food? Goto beef looked a bit fatty to me. Great videos. I watch them on x2 speed. 🐇 I have to get back to Japan after Covid fades away to make some more great memories.
Note: No food review in this video (the restaurant was closed)
Thanks for always watching :)
STJ
Merry Christmas, STJ and too bad about the Cigarette smoke leaking into your room. They should have the doors insulated....
Is Christmas celebrated in Japan?
@@notbill08 I think it is celebrated in Japan
oh no!!! cant believe! I guess its the 1st video without food!
@@notbill08 Yes, with a traditional KFC meal. Look it up.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. This is very interesting.
That's what I was thinking it's the crew
Yep.. my husband was in the navy & when we went on a cruise we had a similar experience. He said the same thing.

Nope. He stayed I n the suite, Anne. 😴
I recently found your videos. I really enjoy them. I desperately want to travel on ferries because of your uploads. Thank you 😊🇺🇸👍🏿👌🏿
I find it interesting that you ALWAYS know where there is a good restaurant at your destination.
Aw man yeah I get it. Both my parents are smokers and I grew up with asthma because of it. I’m married and moved out now but when we go to their home my eyes start burning and it starts to get hard to draw a full breath after a while. I’m glad they let you sleep elsewhere. ❤️
Wow! Now that is quite a room! Really more like a nice hotel.
Been viewing these ferry reviews for a few months. This one is the first where a crew member escorted a passenger to the cabin and showed it to the passenger. Thank you for the excellent videos.
Oh my, the downgraded room was very sad indeed, but the private balcony definitely made up for that! The view at 13:00 is incredible!!

I bet someone was in the closed observatory right next door having sex and a smoke....
as he wrote in the video, he got full refund (14:54)
We are happy to share the good and the bad. An honest review is why we watch.
I'm with you and cigarette smoke leaking in would ruin it for me!
Lmao u non smokers make us laugh so much... look at the pollutants n the natural air u breathe news sheep....

Ikr... If you want to smoke your lungs out, go right ahead. Don't do it in enclosed areas.
😂
you should check before you reserve, I'm not going to stop smoking for you or any one. period. if it's allowed, then I'm going to do it.
@@WhitfieldProductionsTV it's not allowed but some people are just assholes, breaking the rules. The whole level was supposed to be non-smoke
Too bad that the smoke leaked in to your cabin. It looked great. Seems like a sleepless night and no food. ☹️
メリークリスマス STJ 🎄
Thanks for all your great videos & all the best for 2022 👍
お疲れ様です♪
Despite all the unforeseen issues, I think it was still a good experience!! Good customer service is always appreciated✨

These videos help me sleep. Love from the US.
So comfy, as always. Merry Christmas!
Such incredible views! From 13:00 in the video, I was so amazed at the beauty!
I like all the windows in this suite. And what fun to see the Japanese winter holidays display! Thank you for including that!
Sad to see you were leaving back for Hakata so soon. :( Fukue is a very relaxing and beautiful place, and one of my favorite parts of Nagasaki prefecture.

Happy Holidays. Please keep making these wonderful videos in 2022. I absolutely can’t wait to watch them when I get the notification.

Saw that stand alone air purifier, and “smokers” was the first thing I thought.
Thank you for this episode! The large room would be ideal for a family w/young children or special needs travel. It’s amenities, shower/toilet, & beds are very nice for overnight travel. 😌
For Christmas I got a Japanese cookbook that has recipes for curry rice and hamburg steak - I thought of you immediately STJ!!!
I can't stand cigarette smoke either so I understand you completely. The balcony was so huge and the view amazing! Would be nice to sit there in the summer and watch the sunset and sunrise.
I feel so sorry you had to change cabin and everything in the middle of the night! Cigarette smoke is unacceptable, I feel you.
I totally agree! I’m still shocked when I see the smoking rooms on the ferries. After so many years in the uk being just about free of it to see it is jarring
So sorry it wasn’t as expected ! Merry Christmas and next year will be great again!!!
Thank you once more for taking us along with you! Great video!
That cabin would be comfortable enough for a cruise around Japan 😉

Too bad you had to move. That was an awesome cabin!
Hey Solo. WHAT???? No Dinner or Breakfast? You are slipping my friend. Don't fade away will you. Who else is going to do the travelling for me. LOLOL!

Your trip to Goto has gone the same route as my Christmas Eve celebration with my family: chaotic. Merry Christmas tho🙆
Great room ! Too bad it was only an 8 to 9 hour trip.. But still.. as always very much enjoyed the video .. : )
That room was beautiful. I want to travel.
Merry Christmas 🎅 enjoy your travels
The views were fantastic!☺
I would love to experience a trip in one of these ferries.
What a good Christmas gift! A STJ video! I'm very sorry that you had to switch rooms though :(.
Thank you
Merry Christmas 😊
I am sorry it was not a great trip. Lousy sleep, no food 😦. I have a terrible time with cigarette smoke too. I hope your next trip is much more pleasant for you. I wish you a Happy New Year filled with joy, laughter and more adventures!🥂

God Bless You!

Nice, the Cyrstal Geyser water in the mini-fridge is the same brand we have here in California.
Glad to see they comped you the room. I'm a smoker, and even I would be annoyed at smoke drifting into my cabin.... Unacceptable!
