Costa Cruises Nagasaki Travel Guide Shanghai Costa Cruises Tour Route

Selena and Lucky of Costa Cruises are sister ships, which are similar in size, scale and layout. Even the last time I brought Selena from Shanghai, I saw Lucky go with me, haha.

2. The panorama of Costa Cruises

2008 can be said to be a small year for home port cruise ships. The Popular Joy, the Ocean Lizan, quantum of the seas and the home port Princess Shi Sheng will all leave the home port of China and the United States, but those who love cruise ships need not feel sad. In 20 10, two new cruise ships will join the home port cruise ships, namely Royal Caribbean clef and Costa Venice.

3. Costa Cruises Tickets

It depends on which cruise you need to take. How many people share a room with their children?

If two large and one small or three large and one small live in one room, the children will be calculated according to the preferential price of the third and fourth persons in the same cabin.

Costa Cruises and Mediterranean Cruises will give the third and fourth people under 18 the same room free of charge (Costa Cruises are free of charge for people under 13).

Royal Caribbean and Princess are calculated according to the normal discount price of the third and fourth passengers in the same cabin, which is similar to the price of adults as the third and fourth passengers in the same cabin, but the services and facilities of Royal Caribbean and Princess are better than Costa. If you have any cruise problems, you can ask me for help directly.

4. Costa Cruises

Cruise routes around the world will be planned in advance. When you say 86 days, it should be 20 15 Royal Quantum's round-the-world route. Costa only knows the price of 20 1 1.42 days around the South Pacific in 2006, and Princess Cruises has a round-the-world route of108/18 days every year.

5. Introduction of Costa Cruises

CostaCruiseLines originated from the Italian Costa family in 1860 and was named after its founder Jasimo. Giacomo has a long and glorious history. Costa Cruises is the largest cruise company in Europe, with Italian style as its brand. 1997, American Carnival Company and British Air Travel Company acquired 50% shares of Costa Cruises respectively. On the one hand, the two new shareholders enhanced the strength of the company, while maintaining the identity of Costa Cruises as an Italian enterprise.

6. Costa Cruises from Shanghai to Japan

It takes three days to go to Japan by boat from Dalian. There is a Costa cruise ship-Victoria from Dalian to Japan. The boarding place is Dalian, arriving in Fukuoka, Japan on the third day and sasebo, Japan on the fourth day. General itinerary of Costa Cruises-Victoria: 1 day in China, the second day in Dalian, the third day in Fukuoka, Japan, the fifth day in sasebo, and the sixth day in China and Dalian, the cost of cruise ships to Japan is about 3,599 RMB. The total cruise time from Dalian, China to Japan and back to China is 6 days and 5 nights. The fee of 3599 yuan includes Costa Cruises tickets (including 5 nights cruise accommodation and free meals in designated cruise restaurants), cruise taxes and port fees; Tour guide service fee; Japan visa-free ship sightseeing landing permit fee; Shore sightseeing fee. Free: this product does not include cruise service fee, and children under 4 years old can be exempted. For passengers over 4 years old to 13 years old, the average room is $6.75 per person/night, and the suite is $8.25 per person/night; /kloc-passengers over 0/3 years old, ordinary room 13.5 USD/person/night, suite 16.5 USD/person/night.

Please arrange your trip properly so as not to miss the opportunity.

From 20 10 to 20 12, according to the annual tourist records, the group arrived in Shanghai from Wuhan on the cruise ship Costa Venice, which lasted for 5 days and 4 nights, with an average cost of about 2300 yuan, enjoying facilities and services such as inner cabin and sea view room. I need to tell you clearly that this kind of sightseeing boat is seasonal, or active, and only exists at different time periods, not every day. Booking tickets also requires advance booking.

Relevant information shows that the business scope of Wuhan Changjiang Shipping Company and Changhang Wuhan Passenger Transport Company includes waterway transportation services. On March 20th, 2008, the fourth-class fare of Jiangshen II was shown as 58 yuan, but it was a reduced price ticket. It is estimated that the original price ticket of the same level shall not exceed 1 16 yuan. According to the current train ticket price, the prices of other cabins at that time were calculated. Third-class 200 yuan, second-class 300 yuan, first-class 500 yuan. Because the train ticket price is controlled by the state, the price has risen and fallen, and the range is not very large. According to this speculation, if there is a passenger ship like Wu Hanyou now, the ticket should be in the range of 100- 1000 yuan.

7. How much is Costa Rica's cruise in Shanghai?

Look online, there are many. There are not many recreational facilities in the Atlantic. But it is said that there are many activities.

8. Cruise ship quotation to Costa Rica

Thank you: the cruising speed is slow, and the cruising speed is about 20 nautical miles per hour. The maximum voyage is 500 nautical miles per day. Don't go around the earth without a port for a month! 16 can travel to and from the Mediterranean at most. For example, traveling around the world for about three months, the air ticket for each passenger is more than 654.38+10,000 yuan. Deluxe cabin. That's astronomical! The price is beyond the reach of ordinary people! For example, there will be a cruise ship and a trip around the world next year. Go and have a look.

Six old people.

9. Costa cruises around the world

As the market started late, the cruise companies that dominate China tourists are not as rich and colorful as foreign cruise markets. The mainstream ones are as follows:

1. Costa Cruises (English name Costa, with the same name as a coffee brand but no business relationship), whose spokesperson is Gao Yuanyuan, the goddess of otaku. At present, there are four ships in service in China, namely Atlantic, Victoria (the domestic 20 16 season has passed), Selena and Lucky, which just arrived in Shanghai this year. Selena is the largest tonnage ship.

2. Royal Caribbean International Cruises. Its Ocean Mariner, Ocean Voyager and quantum of the seas all operate in China, and quantum of the seas is one of them (a sister ship of quantum of the seas, 20 16, came to Tianjin market, called Ocean Li Zan, with almost the same software and hardware, and friends interested in Li Zan can refer to the evaluation of Quantum).

3. Princess Cruises (and Costa belong to the Carnival Group, a crocodile in the cruise industry). There are two cruise ships in the domestic home port, the Shanghai Sapphire Princess and the Tianjin Golden Princess.

4. Tianhai Cruise (Ctrip shares with Royal Caribbean parent company * * *). At present, she only has one ship, Tianhai New Century, which made its maiden voyage in May, 2005.

The author happens to be sitting on the flagship of these four companies. Tell the difference between the four kinds of ships with your own experience.

I. First impressions

From the exterior decoration to the interior decoration, you can see the temperament of a ship.

Among the four ships, the 70,000-ton Tianhai New Century Cruise is the smallest. This ship originally belonged to a high-end brand, celebrity cruise, called exquisite century, focusing on high-end experience. After the cruise ship bought this ship, it was renamed the New Century.

The appearance of the ship is refurbished, mainly dark blue. Because the tonnage is not too high, there will be no pressure when approaching.

The interior style is introverted and there are no particularly eye-catching facilities. However, due to the renovation this year, the whole is clean and bright.

From the point of view of appearance and decoration, Tianhai cruise ship is quite satisfactory, neither brilliant nor downwind.

Selena is Costa's largest ship in China at present, with a tonnage of110.5 million tons, and it already owns A Sea Castle.

Located at sea, in ancient Rome, besides the nickname "Ship of the Gods", there was a Pantheon Hall that spanned the 10 floor. Zeus, the king of gods, took away many ancient Roman gods. Although it is ancient Rome, the influence of ancient Roman mythology is not as good as that of ancient Greek mythology, so the gods on this ship all use ancient Greek names.

The S style of the whole ship is mainly yellow. Many venues in the hall borrowed the essence of ancient Roman architecture. For example, the Zeus Grand Theatre, which watched the performance, is modeled after the Colosseum in Rome, which is very gi.

Both Princess Sapphire and Selena are 1 15000 tons, but the passenger capacity is less than the latter 1000. At the same time, it is equipped with more than 1000 crew members, so that the ratio of passengers to crew members is as low as 2.5. As can be seen from this data, the positioning of Princess S is slightly higher than that of ordinary Volkswagen cruise ships.

The princess's design S basically has no particularly eye-catching elements, and the continuous colors are mainly elegant, striving to reflect elegance and tranquility.

The biggest feeling of these days spent on Princess is quiet and relaxation, which is also in line with the positioning of the ship.

The tonnage of Royal Caribbean Quantum is168,000 tons, which is second to none in the world.

If sapphire princess's temperament is introverted and calm, then the quantum label is high-profile. From a distance, the tonnage of 1.68 million is already outstanding, but Quantum still put a two-story pink giant bear on the deck to make the ship's shape more unique.

In the interior decoration, you can't see any classical elements similar to the Titanic period, only dazzling electronic screens and glass fiber reinforced plastic to remind you of the coming of a new generation.

First impressions, personal order is as follows: Quantum Ocean sapphire princess Selena New Century.

II free restaurant

There are generally two kinds of free restaurants on cruise ships, one is the main restaurant (which is open at dinner time and can order food in the form of three meals) and the other is the cafeteria (which is open at any time and self-help).

There are two main restaurants on StarrSelena, which are connected to each other and offer the same menu. As an Italian-style cruise ship, European cuisine is Selena's specialty, but in order to take care of China guests, the ship will also serve improved Chinese food, which is very delicious. Lobster will be served in the captain's restaurant. Dinner at the end of the voyage.

As for the cafeteria, its tiramisu, pizza and pasta are all authentic Italian flavors, especially pizza, which has won several blocks. The main restaurants on cruise ships in the new century are also connected, and the main restaurants rarely provide free juice; The food tastes stable and the ingredients are fresh. At every lobster dinner, you can enjoy the lobster shelling service provided by Costa, the royal family and the princess. Lobster competes with Lina, but it tastes better.

The canteen will provide Chinese cooking and staple food, as well as sushi, pizza and dessert. In the taste of the main course, it is no less than Selena. There are many choices of drinks, including ordinary milk, coffee, tea bags, fruit juice, instant hot chocolate and so on.

Princess Sapphire is the best ship in the hearts of many cruise passengers. This not only refers to the careful selection and careful cooking of ingredients, but also refers to the elegance of the dining environment. Other ships will invite guests to dinner in batches because of the limited capacity of the restaurant, while Princess Sapphire has five main restaurants, which are free to sit at dinner time. The most important thing in the main restaurant is that the captain has eaten. The princess didn't provide ordinary lobster, but a very chic leader's dinner.

At least in the cafeteria, the princess believes that there are not many kinds of food. There are only 1-2 choices for each kind, but the ingredients are generous. Offer free desserts and even salmon sandwiches.

As a popular ship, Princess Sapphire has a free snack bar, pizza bar, ice cream bar and popcorn besides the main restaurant and cafeteria. Although we haven't found enough special drinks such as milk tea milkshake for free, we still have a drink card of 7 USD/day, which is basically equal to the charity price (65,438+0.4 of the price of similar products on board), and we can enjoy non-alcoholic drinks such as milkshake, milk tea and fruit juice.

Ocean Quantum also has five restaurants, each offering different styles of dishes, including classic western food, modern western food, American western food and Asian food.

Among the ships mentioned above, Quantum's restaurant is the largest, which can accommodate more than 1000 people at the same time. All kinds of meat, vegetables, sushi and salads are available, and pitaya and mangosteen are supplied every day, with extremely rich varieties.

In addition to the main restaurant and cafeteria, there are free cafes, snack bars, pizza bars, hot dog houses and ice cream on board, no less than the Princess.

The quantity and quality of free restaurants are actually reflected.

Tickets with Quantum Princess are a little more expensive, and there are more kinds of food in Quantum Free Restaurant than Princess. When it comes to taste, the princess is better.

Selena and Tianhai, because of their low pricing, can't be compared with Princess and Quantum's free meal types. However, some people are willing to board the ship at a more favorable price and then taste the paid restaurant on board. This is also an idea.

Free restaurant, personal order is as follows: sapphire princess, Ocean Quantum Sky Sea Cruise Selena.

San special restaurant

Most of the special restaurants on board are charged, which is to change the taste and pursue a better dining environment.

There are two special restaurants on Starselena, one is called Haidilao. Although the taste is not quite the same as that of Sichuan hot pot on the shore, the price of 25 yuan (155 yuan) can serve unlimited food, which is very conscience. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most cost-effective hot pot at sea.

Another paid restaurant is a Japanese restaurant. All kinds of sushi sake are charged at a single point. You can also buy a set meal that includes all the dishes for $35. Although the taste is not too bright, eating too much western food is an option to activate the taste buds.

Tianxin Century has three paid restaurants. The $50/person Paris restaurant offers top-notch French dinner with excellent lobster, steak and French dessert. If you live in PS/RS suite, you can also taste it for free.

Another specialty restaurant, Huaiyang Home Cooking, serves Jiangnan Home Cooking. The set meal is $25 per person, including six courses, of which the soup is authentic. (2065438+July 2006 Note: This restaurant has been removed by Tianhai. I'll let you know when I try a new restaurant on the boat. )

Sheng Di restaurant can be used as a snack choice, mainly focusing on Cantonese dim sum and Southeast Asian snacks. The price is similar to that of Hong Kong-style restaurants on the shore, which is very affordable.

Sapphire princess Stoll Restaurant is a must-see on board. The Italian restaurant in San Batini, which costs $25/person, is one of the signs, allowing you to eat authentic Italian food from 200 yuan on the shore. Italian waiters will also help you add dishes according to your mood, which is worth it. (From 2065438+April 2006, the price of St. Batini's restaurant was adjusted to $29 per person).

15-25 USD/person Lobster BBQ provides fresh lobsters and special cooking. With lobster slices and Kung Pao lobster rice, both are delicious. (From 2065438+April 2006, the price of lobster barbecue bar was adjusted to 18-22 USD/person)

In addition, the steak, beef bones and seafood provided by SterlingSteakHouse are $25 per capita, which is excellent and equally full of praise. (From 2065438+April 2006, the price of Sterling Steakhouse was adjusted to $29/person)

In contrast, the $25 seaview hotpot per person is not so recommended. It is far from sea fishing in ingredients and taste, and Selena has lost to the princess's consistent level.

The most popular choice in Ocean Quantum is the Italian restaurant Oliver's, which costs $25 per capita. This restaurant also has branches in Hong Kong, which is a famous Italian restaurant in Britain. The fob price is J- cost-effective compared with the onshore price. The meat platter in the set meal is the most recommended.

The fairyland square, which costs $39 per person, imitates Alice's artistic conception in wonderland and provides molecular cuisine. From tableware to environment, food is forced.

In addition, there are Japanese cuisine with a single charge, steak barbecue with royal characteristics ($35/person), S restaurant experienced by chefs personally ($85/person), and Jenoin beer house managed by famous American chefs (with a single charge), all of which have a good reputation. Although the sea noodle restaurant of Kung Fu is not expensive, it is not authentic to China people and can only be used as a leisure choice.

In terms of paid restaurants, the personal order is as follows: sapphire princess and quantum of the seas Tianhai cruise ship Selena.

Four accommodation experiences

As long as it is a regular cruise ship, LCD TV, safe, refrigerator, shower and hair dryer are all standard in the room. What needs to be compared is the service awareness and extra daily necessities provided by different ships.

In Selena's cabin crew, the proportion of flight attendants who can speak Chinese is high, and daily communication is quite convenient, which provides convenience for middle-aged and elderly guests with poor foreign languages. But there are too few domestic channels.

As a former exquisite cruise ship, Sky Cruise New Century has inherited the design ingenuity of Royal Caribbean Department (exquisite cruise ship is a high-end brand owned by the royal family) in cabin. Even if you live in the smallest room, there will be no embarrassment of insufficient storage space. You can watch Hunan Satellite TV, Zhejiang Satellite TV and other domestic mainstream channels in your room, or you can continue to follow the drama on the boat.

In addition, toothpaste, toothbrush and slippers are provided to each guest regardless of class. Considering that the price of ta is almost the lowest S home port in Shanghai, this treatment is simply touching (no, I don't wear black Costa).

Sapphire princess has always claimed to provide princess courtesy, and the person who put forward this stunt has obviously heard the story of princess and pea. All cabins are equipped with L L 'Occitane Bath Four-piece Set; There is also a washing bag, which contains razors, cotton, cotton swabs, eye masks and so on. In addition, free mineral water, sweet sleeping chocolate and story cards are provided every day (note: 16 12 I brushed the princess again. Indeed, as a friend pointed out, the princess's service is different. The net content of L 'Occitane suit has been reduced by half, and the eye mask and bathrobe are gone. Mineral water is only provided once. )

In addition, the TV in the room can not only receive most mainstream channels in China, but also bring its own powerful on-demand system. There are nearly 100 latest blockbusters at home and abroad, so it won't be boring if you don't do this. Do not go out.

The decoration of the ocean quantum cabin is a highlight. As a new ship launched in the second half of 14, the room design is fashionable and beautiful, the facilities are novel and there are many movie channels.

The most surprising thing is the number of sockets in the room, plus five USB ports. People who travel with their families will eventually have to endure the alternating charging of electronic devices.

In terms of accommodation experience, the personal ranking is as follows: sapphire princess = New Century Ocean Quantum Sky Sea Selena.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) entertainment facilities

The aquatic facilities on the Selena are a highlight. There are three swimming pools and a water slide on board.

A cinema with a canopy on the deck, a jogging track and a sports field are also standard, so don't worry about the boring time on the deck. If the weather is bad, the swimming pool has a sliding dome to keep out the wind and rain.

For young people who are looking for novelty and excitement, there are F 1 simulated racing cars, 4D cinemas and video game entertainment centers. However, these facilities are all charged, and I have never tried them.

The new century sky tour is mainly equipped with swimming pool, sea golf, basketball court and gym, which are already standard facilities; In terms of on-board shopping shops, in addition to the standard international big-name duty-free shops, there are also drugstores, tobacco hotels and luggage shops.

The most distinctive entertainment at sea was originally the deck trampoline, but the last few voyages were under maintenance, so I could only look at the photos and missed an attempt.

The theme of sapphire princess is mainly eating and relaxing, and there are not many novel facilities. There is a swimming pool star cinema on the deck, with clear picture quality and excellent sound effect, and free popcorn is also provided. In addition, there are two indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a large fitness center. During the time on the ship, everyone basically gathered in snack bars, cafeterias, deck ice cream shops and other places where free meals were provided, so it was convenient to eat and play.

If the ship mentioned above is an ocean leisure center, then quantum of the seas must be an ocean amusement park. It is unfair to compare it with other ships. In addition to the gym, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, there are bumper cars, XBOX, surfing, rock climbing, Polaris sightseeing bus tour, wind tunnel experience, ice skating and robot wine mixing, all of which are free. (Note: Royal Caribbean Company 10 released a new policy on 10 on 29 October, and the charges for the two facilities began on 30 February/0. Polaris sightseeing bus is $20/person and deck skydiving is $26/person).

In terms of entertainment facilities, the personal ranking is: Ocean Quantum Princess Cruise Tianhai Cruise.

VI activity performance

As an Italian-style cruise ship, selena is a big selling point for beautiful Italian men and women. 755-79000 is a classic song on the ship. Although the ancient cultural connotation

There is also a free performance by Costa on board. Tickets can be purchased from the first night of sailing. The earlier you buy a ticket, the better the location. Although it is a topless performance, it is not obscene, and it is still full of elegant artistic beauty (considering the relevant national laws and regulations, the pictures will not be displayed).

As a local cruise ship, SkyCruisesNewCentury has many entertainers from China, and its activities are more grounded. Besides traditional songs and dances, there are acrobatics and other performances. Some program guests are invited from domestic variety shows (such as "Myth"), which makes it easier for Chinese people to understand from the language and program connotation. For the elderly, these programs are undoubtedly more enjoyable. But for young people, it will be a bit trite.

Supplement: On 20 16, the people of China's Got Talent will sing in Tianhai.

The entertainment performance on Princess Sapphire is mainly a Broadway-style professional song and dance performance, and the sound effects are performed by the live orchestra, which is very shocking. There will also be a female band performance and a kitchen tour. Although in retrospect, no activity is particularly impressive, it is completely enough as a choice for leisure and entertainment.

On the quantum of the seas, you can see the highest level live-action performances in China, none of them. China's good voice, music and dance odyssey, charm, these programs, even in the first-tier cities in China, will be packed. Musicians pluck the huge strings hanging in the air, dancers tap the clouds and drums in the air, tall and beautiful dancers show you colorful secret underwear, and the 270-degree giant curtain wall explodes and then breaks.

In terms of activities and performances, personal ranking: Ocean Quantum Princess and Tianhai Cruise Seven Summary.

The tonnage, passenger capacity and reference price of the four ships are as above (the price of cruise ships fluctuates greatly in peak season, and the price is for reference only).

Generally speaking, quantum of the seas is outstanding in all aspects, with almost no obvious disadvantage (if you have to choose, the capacity of 4,000 passengers will make the whole ship very noisy), but the price is much higher than other ships. If you want to be scared out of your wits, enjoy it. This is the best ship in Asia.

The price of Princess Sapphire is second only to Ocean Quantum, and all the hardware and software on board are above average. Food is a highlight. Quiet atmosphere, high-quality waiter, this is a holiday-oriented choice. (Note: I brushed the princess again at 16 and 12, and found that the level of the princess has dropped a lot, and the attitude of the waiters is generally not as good as before; The main restaurant must take the initiative to provide dessert menu; Bathrobe is no longer provided for non-suites. sapphire princess will leave China in April 17, and then Princess Shi Sheng will come to China in July. Looking forward to the surprise of Princess Shi Sheng)

Selena's price is very grounded, but correspondingly, there are not many free facilities on board. Although there is no choice of hardware, the accommodation is maintained at a normal level, but the additional services are slightly poor (mainly reflected in the lack of free drinks and slippers in non-suites, etc. However, if you have never been on a large foreign cruise, this is the starting point of a cruise experience.

Skyliner New Century is the lowest price among the above four ships. Due to the limitation of tonnage, the hardware is slightly inferior to Selena, and there are no fashionable facilities. However, the software is good. Musicians will play the violin during meals, the restaurant will provide free drinks such as juice and chocolate, and toiletries and slippers will be provided in the room. If the budget is not plentiful, you can try this mixed-race local cruise ship.

10. Costa Cruises Travel Guide

Suggest Costa Cruises. The route at that time was Shanghai-Hiroshima-Shanghai. Take the Costa Cruises Selena for example. The cruise ship is very big and the layout inside is beautiful. I think I'm going to a noble and luxurious cruise fashion party (snickering). There are all kinds of facilities in it, such as Zeus Grand Theatre, Juventus sea football training camp, as well as various parties, concerts, karaoke, gym, sun pool, sea view spa, sports ground and so on. Therefore, the daily itinerary is very rich, and I want to ride it again when I have the opportunity!
