Cruise travel has become a popular way of travel for many young people. You can encounter a series of wonderful and romantic events on a huge luxury cruise ship. Floating on the vast sea for several days allows you to enjoy a limited space. Making more friends on the cruise is an extremely fresh and exciting feeling, so what should you pay attention to when taking a cruise?
Currently, the most popular cruise ships depart from ports such as Shanghai and Tianjin, targeting several countries in Japan. Japanese short-distance lines (there are not many routes in South Korea for some reasons), and there are also departures from Haikou to Vietnam, while high-end lines such as Antarctic cruises and European and American river cruises need to be taken out of the country. The following mainly discusses the most popular short-distance routes to Japan, based on ship type, cabin, sailing date, and peak and low seasons: the price per person is generally around 3,000-10,000.
Important reminder: Most cruise ships discriminate against singles and do not accept orders for one person. Orders are also calculated based on two people. A few cruise ships have single rooms.
First: The class, characteristics, and scale of cruise ships vary greatly
Most of the cruise ships where aunts gather in the news are low-priced cruise ships, costing two to three thousand. The current relatively high-end large-scale cruise ship in China is the Quantum. The price and position of the Quantum have always been relatively higher and more in demand.
If the cruise itself is compared to a hotel, then a high-end cruise is comparable to Amanfayun, and a low-cost cruise is like a Hanting, can this experience be the same thing?
If you I really don’t know how to choose, so please choose a large ship, a new ship, and a mid-to-upper-priced ship. Then the chance of encountering an elderly group trying to grab the buffet will be much smaller.
Take the following picture as an example. These three ships are all cruise ships. The first one is the Quantum, the largest domestic cruise ship, with 16 floors. The second one is owned by Costa and has 13 floors. The last one is visible to the naked eye. It's too small to look at. If you go to the Shanghai pier and take a look in person, you will know the difference between high-rise buildings and bungalows.
Second: Take a cruise with an optimistic attitude
If you treat it as a trip to Japan, then you will feel that you are at a disadvantage no matter how you calculate it. Only one day of the five-day itinerary was spent in Japan, and two or three days of the seven-day itinerary were spent in Japan. Most of the time was spent experiencing the cruise.
Third: Cabin Selection
The prices of different cabins vary several times. Don’t worry about whether the inner cabin or the outer cabin has a balcony or not. If you are worried about money, just go to the cabin, because you will spend 90% of your time. Have fun in various places outside the room.
Fourth: Domestic cruises focus on shore itineraries
Booking the itinerary through the cruise ship's own official website can avoid some unnecessary pitfalls. The official official website of the cruise ship leaves the shore itinerary completely to the tourists. , the return time to the ship is also more generous. Once you take a certain journey through a certain pig, you can save hundreds of dollars on the unit price, but the shore itinerary is contracted by a domestic travel agency, and the free route is directly to the fake attractions and fake duty-free shops, ensuring that you can only see a fake Japan during the whole journey. If the cruise If guests are allowed to return to the ship at eight o'clock in the evening, the travel agency will definitely take you back to the ship at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Fifth: Cruise travel entertainment items
Don’t worry, as soon as you get on the ship, a program will be sent to you every day. Just in case you don’t have time, the cruise ship simply puts a The large complex of food, accommodation, entertainment and shopping has been moved to the sea. Wanda Plaza is floating in the sea. You can enjoy it slowly.
Sixth: Cruise network information situation
Don’t try to work online when you are on a cruise ship. You can’t afford data traffic, communications are expensive, and Internet access is luxurious. For example, 50 yuan can buy 200m. On a cruise ship, Different from connecting to the Internet through optical fiber dedicated lines on the ground, information transmission and reception can only be achieved through satellite communications covering the world. Satellite transmission is expensive and the information traffic provided is very limited. It can be used to connect to the Internet through dial-up telephones decades ago. For example, if you choose to travel on a cruise, you must be mentally prepared, put down your work, put down your mobile phone, and enjoy it immediately.
Seventh: Consumption situation
Nowadays, most mainstream credit cards are accepted, and local and foreign currencies are automatically converted when swiping the card for consumption.
To sum up, cruise ships are suitable for people who enjoy life, love leisure and relaxation, and family travel. The kind of people who like to check in and evaluate the value of travel are not suitable for cruise ships.
