is hard and fast and changes all the time. was supposed to be onboard rio salado, which i've been on before and would have been a helluva lot comfortable there. now, m (supposedly) going on to hoegh chennai, ex maersk sun or sea. the vessel is as old as me and much smaller than the usual ships i'm used to. but the run is fantastic and the only thing i'm looking forward to. Couple of ports in JP- Osaka, Nagoya, Yokahama and Kawasaki then NZ - Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton and then!!! Pacific Islands!! - Apia (Samoa) , Nuku'alofa (Tonga) and Rarotonga (Cook Islands). I've never been, m so excited :D I keep thinking that the stevedores are going to be aboriginals in sarongs and face paint lol!
