Mandarin Oriental is the splurge on this list that says it will arrange the airport ride. Its page says Haneda and Narita transfers can be arranged through the hotel and that the concierge helps with luggage, with no price for either.
That helps on arrival and departure days, not on sail morning. Our routing puts Harumi about 3.9 road miles from Nihonbashi, roughly 9 minutes with no traffic, and our arithmetic puts the taxi near ¥2,800 (about US$18).
Mandarin Oriental lists more than ten places to eat and drink, from Signature (French) to Sense (Cantonese), and a spa. Its page prints no room count, no times and no pool.
Book it if an arranged airport car matters, not the sail-morning ride, and ask whether the same help covers a ride to the terminal.
Book it if
- A hotel-arranged airport car matters to you, not the ship ride
- You want a concierge to handle the bags
- Nihonbashi suits your plans
Look elsewhere if
- You need prices before you ask.
- You want a pool: none is listed.
- You want a terminal ride from the hotel.
The hotel will arrange the airport car, and says nothing of a terminal car
