Taking a cruise is an addictive thing. Sailing day, blowing sea breeze on the deck, enjoying food in the restaurant, experiencing the extraordinary fun brought by technology and feeling the extraordinary charm brought by the stage; On the shore trip, there are many rich and interesting routes, which allow you to visit the essence of the whole city effortlessly, stroll around, eat, drink and have fun, and buy in buy buy.
So, traveling from Japan and South Korea, sitting on a cruise ship in Southeast Asia, from Tianjin's home port and Shanghai's home port to Hong Kong's home port, I feel that China has no room for me and must rush out of Asia and go to the world!
The odyssey route in the Royal Caribbean is my long-awaited trip. "Odyssey Journey" refers to the journey of a brand-new royal cruise ship from its construction site to its home port before its official maiden voyage, spanning many continents and oceans and visiting world-famous cities.
The brand-new "Ocean Spectrum", which will make its maiden voyage in Shanghai in June this year, left bremerhaven on April 1 1, passing through Southampton and Malaga, and arrived in Barcelona, Spain, officially starting a 47-day odyssey. Along Gibraltar, Mediterranean Sea, Suez Canal, Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean, all the way to China!
Compared with the conventional home port route, the Odyssey not only takes a long time, visits many ports, has a high degree of internationalization of tourists, but also has a high cost performance! Nothing is better than being able to experience the best cruise ship in the world before the maiden voyage!
The 47-day sea trip is divided into six voyages, namely: 16 night trip from Barcelona, Spain to Suez Canal in Dubai; Dubai-Singapore 14 night spice road; 3-night trip to Singapore-Malaysia; 4-night trip to Singapore-Malaysia; A 9-night trip from Singapore to Shanghai. I chose the long journey from Dubai to Singapore, starting from Dubai, passing Muscat (Oman)-Kachin (India)-Penang (Malaysia) and finally arriving in Singapore. Probably because I was obsessed with the era of great navigation since I was a child, I always wanted to see this once prosperous maritime Silk Road and feel the sea breeze with spice in the Indian Ocean ~
Everything is ready, and the luxurious journey of eating, drinking and having fun on the cruise ship officially begins! Let's unveil the mystery of this cool cruise ship all over the world-"Ocean Spectrum"!
When I took the quantum of the seas under the Royal Caribbean, I was shocked by all kinds of luxurious experiences and modern facilities on board. Ocean Spectrum is the first cruise ship in the super quantum series, which means that it has brand-new landmark facilities beyond the quantum series, and has been comprehensively upgraded and broken through in rooms, restaurants, entertainment, technology and other aspects, bringing a more extreme cruise holiday experience and making people spend a more unforgettable and perfect sea holiday.
Quantum series rooms have always been known for their spaciousness and reasonable layout. If the budget is acceptable, staying in the Royal Suite is highly recommended. Not to mention a bigger and more comfortable room, the spacious balcony brings sea breeze and intoxicating sea view, and the most important thing is to enjoy the distinguished treatment of VIP! Spectrum number has set up 13 to 16 royal residence, providing exclusive catering and leisure services for suite guests, as well as exclusive access to the Champs Elysé es and exclusive boutique customization services on 16 floor. Regardless of the budget, it is natural that the more advanced the room type, the higher the enjoyment. The children's slide in the perfect family suite can slide directly from the bedroom on the second floor to the living room, which makes my little girl envious ~
However, the days with blue sky, white clouds, sea breeze and sunshine are very satisfying. Looking at the sea on the couch, my little daughter is running around excitedly, which is a perfect holiday to look forward to!
Who said that each cruise ship gained three pounds? In fact, there are many kinds of sports on the cruise ship to keep you in perfect shape while eating, drinking and drinking. All-weather deck surfing allows you to gain a new skill on board; Cool climbing wall can fully exercise the muscles of the whole body; There are also fencing, table tennis, gym, jogging trail, deck skydiving and other exercise methods.
The multi-functional sports hall at sea will change its identity at different times every day. Basketball courts, skating rinks, bumper cars and acrobatic colleges will be switched at will, and even warm DJ parties will be held at night. Of course, my girl's favorite is the bumper car at sea. Every day is a happy time. Not only children, but also adults can regain the fun of childhood.
The most handsome and eye-catching thing in the spectrum is the mysterious orange sphere at the stern! Opposite the Polaris at the bow, the stern is a hollow ball with a diameter of 13m, which is called the Antarctic ball. Its inspiration comes from the physical acceleration and deceleration process from the free fall of the North Pole, through the center of the earth and finally to the South Pole under the action of gravity. Outside the ball is a suspended glass trail with four bungee beds and a visual adventure experience created by VR technology. It is really exciting and enjoyable to have a rally with future robots, a sweet confrontation in the candy world, or a dance in the music world on the trampoline of more than ten meters.
But for my little daughter, these sports are too exciting, and the dream water park on the deck is her favorite. It is every child's nature to like playing with water. Putting on a life jacket, playing on the swimming beach and sunbathing can simply vent the strength of the whole day. Huge slides and interesting showers, the most popular INS contrast elements, and the laughter of children, the weather at sea is always so sunny, and the mood on the deck is always so pleasant.
More intimate is SpectrumNo. A swimming restaurant was built next to the swimming pool! Childlike tables, chairs and tableware enable every tired child and tired parent to enjoy delicious food. When food and fun meet unexpectedly, catering becomes a unique amusement experience.
Cruise night will not be boring, and all kinds of wonderful programs are waiting for you. The mysterious stage, colorful background, stirring music and colorful dance are not inferior to the show in Las Vegas. The clef has brought three new entertainment programs, namely Silk Road, Strange Spectrum and Charming Dance.
Among them, "Silk Road" is the most impressive program. On the background of digital widescreen, exotic dance performances, modern sound and light and intelligent robot screens bring a brand-new sensory experience.
On the cruise, eating is the serious thing ~
Ocean Spectrum offers 33 dining options. In addition to expanding the cafeteria area and returning to the classic three-story main restaurant, six new dining concepts have been added: classic Chinese food Chuanguhui, Japanese teppanyaki, Han Hai hot pot, Chinese and western tea and coffee tea ceremony, children's swimming restaurant and delicious noodle bar, so that guests can enjoy creative dining and Chinese and western food feasts.
The free restaurant on Royal Caribbean Cruises has always been recognized as good, especially after the upgrade. Located in the free main restaurant on the 3rd-5th floor, the revolving chandelier strung with exquisite gold thread is very magnificent, which can accommodate 1884 people for dining at the same time. Chinese food and western food are provided every day, with rich ingredients and exquisite dishes. Whether it is sharing or sharing, it is a quality meal.
The sailboat cafeteria located on the 14 deck provides Chinese and western buffet dishes such as pizza, baking, dim sum and special noodle stalls, which is nearly 20% larger than the cafeteria on Quantum, and can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. Not only three meals a day, but also afternoon tea and supper. Buffet is rich in variety and fresh in fruit, which is very suitable for China people's appetite.
Dadong Yijing Plaza, Oliver Italian Restaurant, all? Japanese restaurants, steak barbecues and other special fee-paying restaurants have all come to clef.
Dadong Yijing Square is an outstanding representative of China Creative Yijing Cuisine Restaurant. It advocates seasonal seasons and eats irregularly. At the same time, it combines eastern and western cuisines, and continues to offer a beautiful visual feast all year round.
The meat platter of Oliver's Italian restaurant and the pasta pressed that day are very popular. Jamie oliver, a British celebrity chef, opened an Italian restaurant popular in the western world to the seaside. Italian food should not be missed.
All-Japanese cuisine is mainly creative Japanese cuisine, using the freshest ingredients to make sushi, sashimi, staple food and so on. The steak grill uses top-grade ingredients, and each piece is cut by hand, which retains the rich nutrition, delicate taste and charming aroma of beef.
In order to cater to China people's taste of spicy food, Spectrum also specially launched an authentic Sichuan dish called "Sichuan Red", which is the first authentic Sichuan dish under Royal Caribbean. Delicious, spicy and fragrant Sichuan cuisine brings a hearty and unfinished sea feast; The collision between the refreshing seascape and the hot Sichuan cuisine will definitely create the most unforgettable cruise memories.
/kloc-The sailing cafeteria on the 0/4th floor also has many separate dining areas. Free is good, and the charge is expected.
Japanese Teppanyaki has a long cooking history. The fresh and delicious square ingredients bring home flavor to your Asian stomach, fresh and tender barbecue, lively fried rice, attractive sizzling iron plate and fascinating cooking show, which brings joy to every diners.
Han Hai Hot Pot, on the other hand, has an invincible 270-degree seascape at the stern, providing hot pot lovers with unlimited fresh meat and seafood, with a light and delicious or hot soup base and various homemade seasonings, which can definitely help people get in and out of the city wall.
Delicious noodles, favored by pasta lovers, are smooth and energetic, covered with clear, white, red and green soup heads and side dishes. In the steaming heat, it seems that a bowl of dried Kun has gathered, which will open a brand-new and delicious day for you in the morning and soothe your hunger in the middle of the night.
For a heavy coffee addict like me, the coffee tea ceremony on the fourth floor of Royal Avenue is a place to enjoy, where you can not only taste Chinese pure tea, classic coffee and various fashionable drinks including milk tea, but also Chinese and western snacks baked on the spot. There is nothing better than opening a vibrant ocean day in the aroma of coffee!
There are so many delicious foods on the ocean spectrum, whether you prefer Asian food, European food or other exotic flavors, it will create an unforgettable delicious trip for you. The explanation of strength "every cruise ship is three pounds fat" is not just talk, so after dinner, throw yourself into various sports and burn calories ~
The ports that cruise ships call at along the way are often the places that every "mailer" is most concerned about. Every port city has its own style from Dubai to Singapore. From mosques to Indian temples, every religion has its own unique charm; From Persian customs to Indian customs to Singapore's mood for love, every place has different customs. This is not so much a cruise as a journey through.
14 days is neither too long nor too short, just like a beautiful dream, leaving happy memories. Cruise, a relaxed and leisurely way of vacation, is too addictive. I look forward to the new ship in Royal Caribbean, and unlock more unknown worlds with the Odyssey route next time!
