Out of my cruise to the Western Caribbean. We visited the United States, Mexico, Honduras, Belize and the Bahamas. Reports on these countries, I published earlier (just in case the links inside). Now I want to finish the story of the history of the cruise. See the inside of the ship, its corridors and cabins, to talk about how the cruising life. If you have not been on a cruise, but are going to, then it will be interesting
We went on a cruise with the company Carnival's Western Caribbean on their flagship Carnival Glory. He started from Orlando, Florida. Since planes from Moscow to fly not directly, then we had a choice to fly through Atlanta or the New York. We chose the latter, and at the same time and stayed there for a couple of days.
Here is a map of our cruise:
The ship departed at 4 pm. We had to come at the latest half an hour before sending. At precisely 4 pm started a drill. This attribute of all cruises. If the flight attendants on the plane just show you the emergency exits, there is all the life jackets are forced to get on and get out on the deck:
Ladders crawl away from the ship, and you sail:
What good is a cruise, it's the fact that almost every day you find yourself in a new city, a new country, a new place, and sleep in the same bed comfortable. You do not need every time to unpack suitcases. All the food on the ship free. Usually, there are many places where you can eat and how to eat. Food is available around the clock. Breakfast and lunch where you want, with dinner and more serious. When boarding the ship you define a restaurant, a table and a time when you will be dining. Dinner takes place in 2 sunset (6 pm and 8 pm). If you do not like a desk or during your meal, the first night you can go to the metrodotelyu and try to change.
For dinner, you bring the menu. Every day it will be new, but it will be a pair of permanent classic dishes, in case you do not like the delights of the local chef. After the evening meal, you will find a theatrical performance at the local theater. Animation is much better than in Turkish hotels. There are a couple of "star" in the evening. For example, a mass hypnosis session, the show of acrobats and jugglers. There are "checkpoints" evening with dancing and dancing local animators.
If all the food on the ship is free, the drinks are on the contrary. Even a cup of tea would have to pay. It is very easy to do. Money on the ship is not in vogue. Also do not accept credit cards. Upon registration you will be issued a plastic card, which will be the key to your cabin. It will be your name and table number for dinner. Twin cabins on it do not write to "enemies" could not clean out your cabin in the event of loss. This card upon check "would tie" your credit card, or cash deposit. On the ship, you can pay only with this key. Any additional services, such as tours, massage, acupuncture, or makeup, you also can pay for this card.
Lest you experienced on account of the tip with you will automatically shoot a certain amount per day (normally $ 10) and then distributed to all members of the team.
The same card is also your pass "from" and "to" ship. The first time you go to the ship, you take pictures. Thereafter, each time leaving the vehicle computer reads your card. When you return to your photo collate it with your face. If match, then you are allowed "home." Thus, they know that all went back to the ship.
Typically, the ship is moored to the jetty and direct access to the beach:
If a suitable berth not, carry passengers in small boats
In the port you have three options:
1. Stay on the boat and enjoy the solitude in the pool.
2. Apply for any guided tour.
3. To study the terrain savages.
The first option is the budget. But even the most uninteresting.
The second most reliable but also the most expensive.
Many study tours offered by the ship. Choose your favorite and leave it alone. Whatever was not a poor country, you will always find in the port of rental cars or scooters:
...
As you stuck to the taxi drivers with a proposal to "show" the town or just a ride. This type of recreation is obtained 2 times cheaper than organized tours.
Sometimes the line between the ports of long enough and you can spend a day at sea. In those days, the animators are particularly active. All day on all decks hosts various competitions, games and shows. If the weather allows, the majority of passengers prefer to hang out on the upper decks:
...
Those who do not love the sun, stuck in the ship's casino:
Or various bars and halls:
...
Lobby of our ship:
A pair of pictures of our cabin:
...
This was our second cruise. Before we met the New Year on a cruise in the Mediterranean with the company MSC Cruises. If you compare the American ship Carnival Glory with our "New Year" by Italian ship MSC Orchestra, but this time we were disappointed. Carnival Glory lost on all counts, except the price of the cabin. The food was much worse, the animation is clearly losing, finish ship left much to be desired. About contingent of passengers, I generally keep quiet. The average American cruise passengers in the last weighed 150 kg, was black, lived on welfare, cursing all and everyone was happy.
