我喜歡郵輪

You Don’t like Cruises? Why not?

People are surprised when they hear how many cruises I’ve sailed. I’m guilty to say that I’ve sailed on more than 30 cruises. That adds up to over 240 days on the water.

非巡洋艦通常給我以下回應 不是 想要乘船遊覽：

• 你生病了
• 客艙是幽閉恐怖的。
• It’s boring.
• There’s nothing to do.
• All you do is eat/I’ll get fat.
• 大家都老了

巡遊無聊嗎？當然不！

Let me tell you, I’m writing this post right now as I sail on the 加勒比公主. We are returning from a Southern Caribbean itinerary that took me to 3 ports of call – 阿魯巴島, 庫拉索 和 凱斯公主 （私人島嶼）在巴哈馬。

I’ve sailed on many different cruise lines over the years through many different destinations. Most recently through the Canary Islands with Norwegian Cruises but you can cruise anywhere there is water on either large cruise ships or smaller river cruises. Travel to me is never boring, especially when you have the seven seas to explore and everything in-between. I just love cruising!

I’m sitting in The Piazza on board our Princess Cruise Ship. A large atrium area with a wine/sushi bar, internet café, shops, bars, Godiva chocolate shop as well as a speciality coffee, dessert and sandwich area.

It’s 4 pm which means waiters are wandering around with baskets of fresh-baked, warm from the oven, cookies and cold glasses of milk. There is a quartet playing live jazz in the corner.

On the ceiling of the atrium, a net is filled with about 200+ balloons awaiting tonight’s Piazza dance party where they will drop the balloons at midnight. A few nights ago in this same area, they had a champagne waterfall. The Piazza is where they hold their events — it’s where Santa hands out gifts, cabin stewards teach animal towel folding, the Captain welcomes you onboard and where 復活節兔子 跳兔子跳。

Where’s my husband? He’s up on deck. Doing as he says “a whole lot of nothing”. Which translates to laying in a deck chair, cold drink in hand, attempting to read with his eye’s closed. He 要求 我今天早上睡覺時他在體育館裡，但我沒有任何證據！

That’s what I love about travelling this way – it’s the beauty of a cruise ship – especially if you are travelling with a group of friends or with extended family. Everyone can do what interests them — shore excursions included! Just make sure that you always eat dinner together so that you can share your adventure of the day.

你可以做很多 或者 您所需要的盡可能少，而無需任何人妥協。

並非每個人都是白髮。

It’s spring break week in the Northeastern states of the USA plus it’s Easter Week. Add the two together, and you get about 500 kids on board plus their parents. But don’t think that it’s a madhouse of kids running around. You barely notice them as they are kept busy and out of sight. There are additional children’s programs, and events added to the daily schedule such as pizza parties, teen disco nights and video game playoffs.

到戶外呼吸新鮮的海洋空氣。充滿星星的夜空在甲板上等著你

The comedians onboard usually joke about the bathrooms. They say if you drop the soap in the shower that you have to step outside to allow room for you to bend over to pick the bar back up. There is the other joke about soaping the walls and then just turning yourself around. It really isn’t that bad — the size of the shower that is — not the joke!

是的，小木屋和浴室的大小與您在家中的大小不一樣。但是機艙經過有效設計，具有大量存儲空間，除了您在機艙中要做的就是睡眠和淋浴。當機艙門外有太多事情發生時，您在房間裡做什麼？

在海上，根據風/水條件，您確實會感覺到船舶的運動，但是我發現搖擺可以幫助我像嬰兒一樣睡覺。如果海浪很大，機長通常會打開穩定器並以較低的速度行駛以降低運動。此外，您在船上的機艙位置將對您感覺到的移動有不同的影響–船中部是您最安全的選擇。如果感覺很糟，那就有暈車補丁，Gravol，Drammine和 像薑一樣的天然溶液 或通常會幫助暈船的抗噁心腕帶。

這週我還做什麼？

Cruises? You have to try it once…you might just love it as much as I do.
