What is the best ship to choose for cruise travel?

Cruise ships are a very popular tool for modern maritime transportation and tourism, so many people are asking how to choose a cruise ship to be more comfortable at sea. Here is a detailed strategy for you.

First of all, if you don’t care how much it costs, choose the most expensive boat. Cruises are first-class, first-class prices. Expensive ships are definitely better than cheaper ships in terms of facilities, services, catering, and entertainment. Expensive ships include the Quantum, Joy and Lizan (Quantum's sister ship), with the better ship, the Spectacle, due to be updated next year. It would be better if you can choose a suite. There is no queue to board or disembark, and it is exclusive.

Suite, okay? Mainly to enjoy different services.

If you are bringing children, I recommend MSC Cruises, which is the only cruise brand that officially cooperates with LEGO. There is a LEGO experience day on board. I have been on the MSC Lyric, and there are seats reserved for children during the show on the ship. According to my observation, parent-child activities are also the best among all cruise ships.

If you are going to eat, it is recommended to choose Princess Cruises. "Eating well" is the princess's greatest advantage. Of course, with this advantage, having less show and no fun becomes less of a factor.

If you just want to spend the least amount of money to experience a cruise, then choose the Costa series. Selena has already paid a "sky-high price" of 800 yuan. Although there are a little more adults and adults on board, there is nothing to say about such a cheap price. After four or five days of eating and drinking, you can go for a walk along the Japanese coast. Also going abroad. You know, it costs so much to stay in a four-star hotel for one night.

In fact, the most cost-effective cruise ship I have ever taken is Tianhai Cruise, which was originally China’s first luxury cruise ship. It is managed by Quantum, which is Royal Caribbean, so the service is very good, the food is good, and there are many activities. The key is that it’s cheap, but this cruise ship has been sold a long time ago, so I won’t say more.

In fact, there is no problem of choosing a ship when traveling on a cruise. The ships of each company are about the same size, and the level of catering and service on board is similar.

So first of all, the first choice is not the ship, but the route. For example, most people in Shanghai in China take the Japanese route, Guangzhou and Shenzhen mostly take the Southeast Asian route, and some occasionally go to Japan. That depends on which route you prefer to take.

It is also a Japanese route, most of which take Fukuoka and Nagasaki, and some also take Yaeyama Island and Okinawa. and the Madonna star that now occupies Tokyo and Mount Fuji. Southeast Asian routes mainly take Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, or Manila and Subic in the Philippines.

After the route problem is solved, it becomes a cost budget problem. Of course, rich people skip this and only choose the most expensive ones. There are regular cruises, such as Royal Caribbean, Costa, Princess, and Star that we usually talk about. In fact, the cost is not as high as everyone thinks. The cost of a trip to Sanya is about the same.

After all, excluding the cruise tips paid on board, 5/6 days of food, clothing, housing and transportation are included in the cruise fare. As for those high-end cruises that are really aimed at rich people, such as the "Silver Shadow" cruise ship, I have no money and have never tried them.

Then let’s talk about a few cruise ships. First of all, Royal Caribbean is more expensive. Cruise ships are generally larger, such as Mariner with 130,000 tons, Quantum, and Lizan with 160,000 tons.

The advantage of a big ship is that there are many games on board and the performances are quite atmospheric. However, if you really want to say "sea surfing", you don't have to go on a cruise ship. Nowadays, all major water parks have it. What about the "Polaris" ball that is more than 100 meters high? Is it $100 or how much? I have no idea. I'm afraid of heights.

The second most expensive one is the princess. A new ship of 140,000 tons arrived last year. I have to say that Princess's catering is the best among these families.

However, the princess’ entertainment activities were a bit deserted. Young people who like liveliness should choose Caribbean or Costa. The princess-style "covered bridge" is really nice to take photos and enjoy the scenery. Under the glass plank road, the waves rolled on both sides of the boat.

The most cost-effective one is Costa, but Costa Lucky and Atlantic are slightly smaller at 85,000 tons. The standard of dining at Atlantic was a bit disappointing.

As for the Selena, it is 115,000 tons. If I remember correctly, this was the first ship I played with. Known as "entry-level" cruises, these ships are the first choice for your first cruise. Also, I highly recommend the balcony room.

The first time I bought an internal position was to save money, I don’t look at the price of the internal position now. There are many foreign waiters on board Gotha, which actually does not affect communication. On the contrary, the foreign waiters were enthusiastic and cheerful all day long, making people feel happy just looking at them.

As for Star Cruises, there are two 40,000-ton ships, the Libra and the 75,000-ton Lady Star.

Now Li Xing doesn’t know if he feels the pressure brought by big cruise ships, so he takes routes that others cannot go, such as Tokyo and Mount Fuji, which are also among those who want to go out for a walk. choose. Pictures I found online, but I really didn't want to put pictures of my family's trip up there.
