巡航の話の本部

私が巡航のための私の愛述べているとき何回も、私は非巡洋艦「オハイオ州から私が従って遊航船で退屈させて」。あることを、私考える聞く 私は正直に遊航船でであるおそらく退屈させてどこでも彼ら行くであるまたは遊航船の活動および催し物のスタッフ彼らの仕事をきちんとしていなかった人々多分うんざりさせることができる唯一の人々がと言ってもいい。 皆のための何かがあること遊航船にそう多くの異なった活動および魅力がある。

最も明らかに、船旅会社は豪華な食事を、生産およびキャバレー両方様式ショー、プールの側面およびラウンジバンド、ディスコおよび球部屋のタイプ音楽提供する。 それらは頻繁に主題でき事および党を有する。 船旅会社は文献および広告でこれらのタイプの活動を顕著に展示する。 まだ、何人かの人々は遊航船の境界でうんざりするかもしれないと特に考える海日に。

船旅会社は積極的に乗客を提供するために沢山および沢山の選択と幸せ、心に抱いておくために働いた。 当初巡航の、船は通常変えられた遠洋定期船だった。 これらの船は運ぶためによりもむしろ心に抱く造られたが、巡航ディレクターおよび彼/彼女のスタッフは使用中の活動プログラムの快適さの欠乏を補った。 これらの活動はビンゴ、木か映画競馬、球部屋のダンスのレッスン、衣裳のコンテスト、才能ショーおよびナプキンの折りたたみ含んでいるかもしれない。 「特別な目的のために建てられた」遊航船の夜明けによって、ラインは活動の設計に船のますます造り始めた。 1999年にメガ船のVoyagerのクラスの導入はおそらく特にあった。 これらの船は決して持っていなかった前に巡航の興味をかもしれなかった活動的な人々を引き付けるために造られた。 The “Mega” ships have the most to offer people who prefer to keep busy with physical activity. The Royal Caribbean Voyager Class and newly introduced Freedom class have rock climbing walls, ice rinks, in-line skating tracks, and mini golf. Carnival has recently upgraded some their ships with “active” amenities (and separate serenity areas.) Many of Carnival’s and Royal Caribbean’s ships now feature pool areas with slides and water features found in land based water parks. These mega ships also feature expansive shopping areas and many dining choices. For cruisers who prefer less “active” activities, Princess Cruise has installed huge movie screens that can run movies and other video programming day or night in the pool area for their “Movies Under The Stars” program. Some cruise lines offer bridge tournaments or chess tournaments. In the computer age, more and more lines are offering software learning courses. Some cruises will feature guest lecturers on subjects as varied as Renaissance Art and NASA Space Missions.

Our family loves to cruise Celebrity and we’ve found that this line offers interesting but not over the top activities. Some activities are offered on almost any cruise. I’ve enjoyed trivia games and Name That Tune on all my Celebrity Cruises. Often I’ll just go to these games by myself and meet others while I’m there. They also have a continuing game of battle of the sexes trivia that goes on all week. My husband likes ping pong and he’s even won a tournament or two on some of the cruise. On nearly all our cruises, Celebrity has offered a variety of pool side or outdoor games such as free throw shooting contests, pool Olympics and King of the Ship Contests. Bingo is also a popular activity. On several cruises the line has offered a Q & A session with the resident comedian. On a few cruises, they had a ship model building contest. Celebrity also offers destination specific activities. They had a Polar Bear swim on the Alaska cruise where they gathered a few brave souls together to have a swim in the ship’s pool. They also offered on the Alaska cruise whale watching and nature lectures with the ship’s naturalist. Our Hawaiian cruise featured hula lessons. That cruise also had an extended number of sea days, (10) , so Celebrity brought on a wine maker to offer an extensive series of wine tasting seminars. Finally, Celebrity, like many other lines, offers some activities to their repeat passengers that are not offered to the general public. The galley tour offered to Captains club members was quite impressive, offering us a glimpse into the massive but intricate operations undertaken by the line to produce high quality and timely meals for all of its passengers. The Chardonnay blending seminar exemplified the way they Celebrity tries to provide activities that not only entertain, but inform.
