Post about the pros and cons of a cruise in the Mediterranean Sea.

Itinerary: Barcelona - Toulon - Nice - Florence - Rome - Naples - Barcelona. Duration - 7 days.
He sailed on a cruise ship Liberty of the Seas - the largest-displacement passenger vessel in the world. In fact, it is a huge floating fifteen-star hotel, worth a billion dollars. The basic idea - to move at night, seems to me very correct. Every morning you wake up in a new city. Do not expend energy on movement between cities and fuss with suitcases.

The weather was very lucky, and the sea was perfectly quiet. So I do not learn how to work such a great thing - Voltage regulators pitching

What is interesting is the ship? It is divided into three areas: child, adult and family.

2. Children's area with water cannons and interactive fountains



3.Est four pool depth of 1, 7 meters.



4.Panoramnoe Jacuzzi overlooking the sea



5. The world's first surf simulator on board the ship, which pumps 110,000 liters of water per minute.



6. Next to him, a full-size basketball court, a mini golf course and a climbing wall.



7. Promenade - shopping street, four decks in height. Some cabins overlooks the promenade and the rest with views of the sea. Overlooking the sea, of course, better. It is best to take a cabin with a balcony.



8. Casino with table games such as roulette, craps, blackjack. This is the only place on the ship, which accepts cash. In all the other "fee" places you pay a personal card. She is your identity and she also works as a key.



9. In the next room - slot machines.



10. The cabin the size of an average hotel room. Right - the shower. In addition to the usual TV, on the liner has several of its own channels, in which you can check your account to see the transfer of the city, which will be parking or broadcast any entertainment show, which at this point runs on the board.



11. The ship is always something going on. From football tournaments and the skating rink to show the Broadway musical "Saturday Night Fever." All this is free of charge.



12. One of the evening shows on the boardwalk.



13. Concert Hall.



14. gym with a boxing ring.



15. Library.



16. Art Salon with paintings worth several million dollars.



17. A smoking lounge.



18. But here you need to enter only as a last resort. The cost of the Internet - 0, $ 75 per minute. Wholesale little cheaper.
It is better to decide the issue of roaming before traveling.



19. A few words about food. On the liner 220 chefs working in three shifts. This is the main restaurant which is open during limited hours. But any time you can climb to the 11th floor, where almost round the clock buffet (Buffet) with multiple cuisines - Japanese, Mediterranean and Oriental. Alcoholic drinks are paid. The dress code does not exist, even though everyone is trying to dinner dressed solemnly.



20. In addition, if you do not want to eat with everyone on the ship a variety of restaurants and pubs. The picture shows the Vintages wine bar with a great wine list.



21.Gotichesky bar "Catacombs."



22. The Marine Bar.



23. Once some bar



24. Pro service. The rooms are cleaned twice a day. The salary of the staff depends on you - at the end of the cruise you fill out a card in which you can note favorite employees. They will be awarded additionally.
Your account is debited $ 15 daily tips. Keep this in mind.



25. On the ship concerned about hygiene. At the entrance to the restaurant all must wash their hands something to kill germs. The flooring in each of the 14 elevators change daily. Even when loading luggage handles wiped with alcohol



One of the drawbacks derived from its cruise advantages. The huge ship can not always go straight to the beach. If in Naples and Barcelona ship is almost in the center of the city, then, for example, in Nice, he stands on the roads to the coast and the passengers get on boats. If to Rome can be reached by train in 40 minutes, Florence is much farther from the sea. Two hours each way.
The cruise price does not include guided tours - if you want you can buy them on board.

The average cost of Royal Caribbean cruise starts at $ 500-600 per person. Plus the road. Do not forget the excursions and gratuities.
