I don't know when I started to like the way of cruise ship travel, which is slightly different from the idea that I once wanted to measure the world with my feet. I have taken my parents to travel many places over the years. I like to integrate into every corner of the world and live with my relatives around me. The dream experience of riding the Quantum of the Seas with them last time was really unforgettable. This was also the reason why I decided to board Royal Caribbean's latest cruise ship, the Spectrum of the Seas, the largest and most luxurious royal cruise ship in Asia.
The Spectrum departed from Shanghai Wusongkou International Cruise Port, and the entire boarding process was very smooth. Before departure, check the boat online on the Royal Caribbean website, and then board the boat empty-handed with the ticket and check in your luggage. Later, the staff will deliver the luggage to the room, which is super easy. Don't worry about your parents not knowing English after boarding the boat. There are waiters everywhere on the boat who can speak Chinese, and more than 80% of waiters in restaurants, shopping malls, and entertainment projects can speak Chinese. Also, all passengers on board need to participate in safety drills.
It's okay for the consumption on the ship to associate the credit card when it's on duty. Mom and Dad don't have to worry. As long as they take the ship card, they can open the door and spend, and they can buy whatever they want. WiFi on the ship can be purchased on demand. The package we chose this time for 3 devices is only US$46 a night. In addition, we also gave a Tuge WiFi translator, an artifact for ashore sightseeing.
Extraordinary rooms, you can stay well on the sea
We chose a two-story duplex suite for this trip. The spacious balcony is suitable for parents who like to sit on the balcony to drink tea, chat and watch the scenery. The simple style room is elegant and warm in color, and the balcony has a wide view. There are still many advantages when staying in the suite., exclusive fast boarding channel, exclusive lounge and restaurant for the Gold Card Suite, VIP service throughout the journey, which is simply too exciting
The cruise ship sailed very steadily and hardly felt any big shaking. My parents also said they slept well. The details are also perfect. There are many power outlets in the room and USB, which can directly charge your mobile phone. If you don't have electronic products that require a three-hole socket, you don't need to bring an adapter at all. The waiter folds the towel into different little animals every day. It's so cute!
Food should be the most important thing-eat until you eat well
The Spectrum has a total of 33 dining venues, including 11 bars-it is no exaggeration to say that if you want to eat all the restaurants on a cruise ship, you will have to book a very long flight. You will not be able to eat it all for eight nights.
Ocean Spectrum innovatively merged four independent restaurants into a three-story, high-rise, feast-style, free main restaurant that can accommodate up to 1836 people at a time. Different Chinese and Western recipes provided daily will be the best dining options
In the Sailing Food Court, in addition to satisfying the taste buds of different guests with buffet food that combines Chinese and Western food, there are also four restaurants with different styles of specialties. Including Sorrento Restaurant, a traditional pizza house in the cafeteria where pizza lovers can feast on, it provides travelers with on-site baked thin-format and thick-base pizzas. There are more than 20 options for classic sausage flavors, fresh and sweet Hawaiian flavors, pure cheese flavors, refreshing spicy sausage flavors, etc. And Haowei Noodles Bar, where my parents serve a bowl of hot authentic Chinese-flavored noodles every morning.
Also located in the Sailing Food Court, there are two fee-paying restaurants: Teppanyaki Restaurant and Haihan Hot Pot Restaurant
Glittering metal tableware, handsome chefs rotating knives, listening to the sizzling sound of top ingredients when they come into contact with hot iron plates, and feeling the collision between superb skills and selected ingredients-yes, this is teppanyaki's long-standing skills. Cooking fresh and delicious four-sided ingredients, Japanese teppanyaki brings a taste of home to your Asian stomach. Whether it's tender and toothy roast meat, lively fried rice or various seafood with vivid light, create a common climax for taste and vision in the tempting sizzling sound of iron plates and the fascinating cooking show.
Haihan Hot Pot Restaurant is located on the 14th floor of the deck and can accommodate 168 people for dining at the same time. Here, you can also enjoy an invincible 270-degree sea view at the stern. There is an unlimited supply of fresh meat and seafood, served with either light, delicious or hot soup bases, and a variety of self-made seasonings
Walking into the Royal Caribbean's first authentic Sichuan cuisine restaurant, Chuanguhui, on the Spectrum of the Ocean, will definitely satisfy all your fantasies about Chinese food! Whether it's classic Leshan dried fried scallops, squirrel corn fish, fish sauce and hibiscus king crab, or royal chef stewed sea cucumber, you can always find creative Chinese food here. Bring you a hearty and unfinished feast while cruising on the sea. It is also equipped with intimate family private rooms, which are perfect for Chinese Sichuan cuisine.
Spectrum of the Ocean has also set up a swimming restaurant. The water splashing restaurant is located on the 14th floor, next to the children's water splashing area. The gorgeous colors and childlike tables and chairs instantly turn parent-child dining into another fun experience. Fresh ingredients are crafted with the ingenuity of the chef to carefully care for each baby's nutritious meal. Here, parents can forget everything for a while and spend a wonderful and unforgettable meal with their children. On Spectrum, Dadong Yijing Workshop will also launch new dishes. When cruising at sea, a good place for afternoon tea is the Ka-language Tea Ceremony. It is located on the Royal Avenue and integrates tea bars and cafes. Here, you can taste Chinese pure tea, classic coffee and various fashionable drinks including milk cover tea. Drinks, and Chinese and Western snacks baked on site
Life is in motion-have fun
Indoor and outdoor swimming pools, deck surfing and parachuting, sea rock climbing, bumper cars, basketball courts-there are so many activities on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship, you don't have to worry about having nowhere to expend your physical strength
There are multi-function halls on the 15th-16th floors of the ship, which include sports such as basketball, roller skating, and bumper cars. There are also two newly added sports such as fencing and archery.
With a 12-meter-high climbing wall, here's a good opportunity to challenge yourself
For those who are rich in sports and love adventure, the first is deck skydiving! Air currents are generated here through a vertical wind tunnel, allowing those who want to try extreme sports to experience flying over a cruise ship while overlooking the sea. You can rest assured in terms of safety, here are the most professional coaches to advise you.
You can also come to the top floor to experience deck surfing. Royal Galle provides you with a surfing experience that you can indulge in on deck. On the 12-meter-long simulator, you can challenge yourself to ride the waves under the guidance of a coach or on a surfboard, and enjoy the stimulation of wet body and speed!
Solarium, indoor swimming pool, open-air swimming pool, water park-large and small swimming pools are enough for you to soak in. There is also an outdoor swimming pool and an open-air movie theater with Hollywood blockbusters at night!
Polaris is an event you must not miss. It is very popular, so remember to make an appointment in advance. The rocker arm is lifted to an altitude of 92 meters and overlooking the sea and the cruise ship. 20 bucks is really worth it! The vision is invincible! Remember to bring your camera to take pictures
Eating and drinking every day on the cruise ship, swimming and fitness are naturally indispensable! In addition to the jogging trails on the top deck, every cruise ship in the Royal Caribbean is equipped with a well-equipped gymnasium and outdoor swimming pool. After entertaining and enjoying delicious food every day, you come here to experience sweating profusely in professional equipment. Naturally, the pleasure is indispensable.
The Ocean Spectrum brought a new iconic entertainment facility-the Antarctic Ball! Opposite the Polaris on the bow of the ship, a hollow orange sphere with a diameter of 11 meters is located on the left hand of the stern. It is called the Antarctic Sphere. Its inspiration comes from the physical acceleration and deceleration process that occurs under the influence of the earth's gravity. Outside the ball is a suspended glass trail, and there are 4 bungee beds inside the ball, allowing tourists to simulate a journey through the center of the earth, accompanied by a visual adventure experience created by VR technology.
Rich programs-happy to burst
It is said that it is a one-stop service for eating, drinking and fun, and of course it is indispensable to come to watch the show on the cruise ship!
Each ship of the Royal Fleet will carry 2-3 original shows. With a strong cast, Spectrum will stage three newly designed and produced entertainment shows in the 270-degree landscape hall and the Royal Theater: "Silk Road","Spectrum Charming" and "Charm Dance Today and Past".
The Silk Road is a large-scale performance tailored and original for the Chinese market. This masterpiece incorporates the cultures, colors, music and song and dance styles of China, Persia, India and Rome. The entertainment event on the Silk Road brought a unique and shocking experience to our trip. As guests of the Gold Card Suite, of course, you will have your own seats and an excellent viewing angle. After watching it, my mother said that it was wonderful, and she would feel shocked when watching it two or three times.
As a large-scale original production, Spectrum Heroes plays a group of dazzling superheroes. The super powers they have come from their own creative abilities! The superhero team will show infinite power, uniting their powerful forces to fight their opponent Crash, as his appearance will try to stop the entire world.
"Charm Dance Today and Past" combines ultra-modern choreography with unparalleled vocal performance, high-end and atmospheric lighting and video effects. It has the charm of a Broadway opera. You must not miss it if you like classic Broadway plays.
Traveling in Japan and meeting the most beautiful dock city
In addition to the happy time on the cruise ship, I am also looking forward to the new long line in 2019. Starting from Shanghai and passing through the three classic Japanese ports of Osaka, Kobe and Yokohama is my favorite and most looking forward to route.
A day in Osaka can be very fulfilling. What must check in can be said to be the Dawton excavation of the food street. Various online celebrity restaurants and online celebrity photo spots can be found here. Although the streets are narrow and complex and crowded with people, they are surprisingly orderly. Walking on the streets of Dotonbori, there is an endless stream of tourists during the day, a sense of prosperity, and the iconic Glico billboard. They are all so familiar and natural. Maybe it is too popular here, and there are countless photos on the Internet. It makes me feel more cordial and familiar at first sight.
When you come to Yokohama, Tokyo, it becomes more fashionable, technological, and busier. This place is known as the most prosperous place in the world. The huge TV screens and neon lights, as well as the simultaneous influx of people from all directions, constitute a shocking sight. Of course, this is exactly what I imagined Tokyo should be like.
Traveling on a cruise ship and leaving on a cruise ship, visiting the city during the day and living on a boat at night, without having to pack your luggage or change hotels. Royal Caribbean makes it easier to move between cities. It saves you the need to travel on the road, and you don't have to worry about your itinerary. For someone like me who likes to travel more places in a limited time, this feeling is really great.
After getting off the ship, my parents kept saying that they wanted to go on board again. For domestic cruise ship routes, Japan is generally the main destination, but this year, Royal Caribbean added a new Vladivostok destination, so I immediately gave it to them. I bought the Select Spectrum flight on September 6. Vladivostok is near the junction of Russia, China and North Korea. It is Russia's most important port on the Pacific coast and one of the largest ice-free ports in the world. The unique hilly terrain and large forests give this coastal city a unique and charming scenery and is a resort for tourists from all over the Far East and Europe. Every summer, people come to the beautiful beach here to enjoy the summer time. History and humanities have also formed its unique charm. The retro and integrated urban streets and the century-old classical railway station are all worth tasting carefully. If you are a friend from the north, you can choose the Quantum voyage on September 13. What would it be like to take a boat to Haishengwei?
