We usually say that cruise travel is all-inclusive After you pay the corresponding shipping space, all-day meals, entertainment facilities, theater performances and activities on board are included. This is what we call a ticket. It is enough to enjoy the basic meal service and meet the routine entertainment on board, but it does not mean that all meals or entertainment on board can be paid, nor does it mean that there is no place to spend money if you want to spend it. Let Xiaoqi help you talk about eating and playing on the boat:
Cruise ships usually eat during the trip: in fact, eating on the cruise ship is a very key factor. When many tourists choose routes and ships, the first consideration is whether the food on board is good. If they stay on the boat for a week or more, it will be boring if there are no pleasant and delicious dishes. Simply put, eating five meals a day is a normal arrangement. Breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and supper are not necessarily different in time. Some boats and even cafeterias are open 24 hours a day. In addition to the main restaurant and cafeteria, there are also some bars or small restaurants open regularly, which will ensure uninterrupted free dining places on board. One of the most important restaurants is the main restaurant, which usually serves breakfast and dinner. It is a way of ordering food, with strong sense of ceremony and long meal time. Needless to say, the cafeteria will be bigger and open for a longer time, and you can sit in it and have tea and chat even if you stop eating.
1. The breakfast time is from 7: 00 a.m. to 10. If the cruise ship stops, tourists sometimes leave the ship or take part in sightseeing before 6: 00 a.m., so that tourists have enough time to have breakfast. If it's sailing day, you can sleep in completely, and you can still have a big breakfast when you go to the restaurant at 9 o'clock.
2. Lunch starts from 12 and lasts until 15. Such a long meal time can completely avoid the most crowded time.
3. Afternoon tea, the ordinary luxury cruise afternoon tea place is in the cafeteria, and the time is basically connected with lunch time, but the food provided has changed a little, with fewer dishes and more fruits and refreshments. High-end cruise ships will have a special afternoon tea venue. Because there are not many people, the afternoon tea will be exquisite and the atmosphere will be warm.
4. Dinner, dinner is the most important meal. Usually, everyone will choose the main restaurant. Many cruise ships still have fixed meal times and fixed tables. At this time, every meal should be served at this table. On the one hand, it is convenient to control the number of people eating on board, and on the other hand, it is convenient for restaurant waiters to master the dining habits of guests. A week or more is very important for some tourists who care about eating habits, especially for cruise ships. Of course, more and more cruise ships take advantage of free meal time.
5. Nightingale, from the health point of view, is also because nightingale is not attractive to tourists. In recent years, some companies have adjusted the arrangement of midnight snack, some companies have postponed the time of the cafeteria, canceled the midnight snack starting at 23: 30, and some companies provide food in other restaurants at night.
In addition to these free restaurants, there are several or even a dozen special restaurants on board, offering dishes with different ethnic flavors. If you want to taste different specialties, you can make an appointment in advance, and each restaurant will charge an appointment fee, which is what we call a paid restaurant.
Play: Play refers to the arrangement of entertainment facilities and entertainment programs on board.
Cruise ships will have 1. Swimming pool. All cruise ships have swimming pools. Large cruise ships will have many swimming pools according to their functions, and small cruise ships will also have at least one swimming pool.
2. Theater performance, which is a fixed project of cruise ships. Some cruise ships have excellent performance. Although there is no need to pay, you need to make an appointment in advance.
3. the gym. In addition to the deck fitness trail, there is also a professional gym on board. Fitness equipment is usually complete. The attraction of food on board is well known. You must have consumed a lot of food. Therefore, the design of the new cruise ship for the gym is by no means a simple decoration, and there are professional fitness instructors. Of course, you need to pay extra for the instructor.
4. The performance arrangement of the lobby bar varies from company to company and from ship to ship. Some are very lively, some are quiet and soothing, some have several periods in a day, and some revel every night.
These recreational facilities and projects are necessary for cruise ships. According to the positioning of cruise companies for their own ships, different ships will have various places and facilities for tourists to use free of charge, such as: there will be a surf simulator on the Royal Caribbean, climbing wall; The captain's cocktail party on the princess cruise ship is the most distinctive; Rope course of Novozymes cruise ship. There are more and more high-altitude waterslides on board, which is also a new project attracting attention. Of course, there will also be some paid entertainment on board, such as simulated skydiving and Polaris in the Royal Caribbean. Laser confrontation between go-karting at sea and Novozhen cruise ship.
Different people have different choices to eat and play on the boat. Cruise ships are like large mobile resorts on the sea, and the content is much richer than this. The most important thing is to get on the boat with a good mood, choose a suitable way to relax and reach different countries and cities.
About eating and drinking; There are two kinds of places to eat, drink and have fun on cruise ships: "free" and "charged".
Free zone:
Remember, but all public places, such as the free cafeteria (24-hour free buffet) are as free as some a-la-carte areas. Public entertainment areas are also free, such as free performances that can be seen after entering the cruise ship.
Toll area:
High-class restaurant, special restaurant. This kind of restaurant is generally charged. You can observe that the traffic in the toll area is much less than that in the free area. (Since it is advanced and the traffic is low, you can also analyze whether it is free or charged);
Small game places, if you want to play games or electronic games, you need to spend a certain amount of money to buy the contents of the place, such as game coins.
Special service: don't think that you are very different from the scenic spots on land on a cruise ship, but remember that you will charge according to the size and speed of shooting.
