During the night, the Silver Shadow left Tokyo port and took shelter in Nagoya Bay. There was some ship's movement but nothing too uncomfortable. If the typhoon crosses the area (likely in the next 12 hours), there will be movement but it will be less uncomfortable than it would be in the ocean.
There has been no official statement on how many guests have left the ship but the guess is a few 10s. Some have gone home, including some first-time cruisers, which is sad. Others are planning to rejoin the ship later, which seems unreliable when the itinerary is so fluid.
At the Captain's briefing, he was asked about the level of risk of remaining on the ship. He said 'none', reiterated his commitment to safety and stated that he wished to finish the cruise without damage to his life or his licence. One passenger asked if there were stabilisers and if there were plans to use them.
The news on the whole was less gloomy, most passengers were reassured, but a few left the ship immediately afterwards. The Captain is still promising Hiroshima on the scheduled day.
