A couple of weeks ago, I returned from the cruise along the Los Angeles-Mexico route. Cruises, as it seems to me, the thing is quite specific. They all want them, but they are not easy to decide on them. I had a negative experience of cruises on Scandinavia, but at the same time I really wanted to see how it is in other cruises. Therefore, my husband and I bought a weekly cruise in Mexico. And never regretted!

I share my experience, maybe someone will come in handy.

We floated on the Crown Princess liner, which has seventeen decks, eight restaurants, fifteen bars, six pools, open-air cinema, spa, beauty salon, gym, Tennis Court, Golf Course, Library, Casino, Two Theater, Church for Wedding, Three Kids Club. Could miss something :) But there was a hub on 3080 people and work for 1,200 crew members.

Our cruise began in the port of Los Angeles and, perhaps, was overshadowed with only one moment. Two weeks before our trip on this liner, 180 people became ill with intestinal flu in view of what a special disinfection system was introduced on the ship and our sail was launched for six hours. Fair advantaged about it in advance. But we did not have to wake up at five in the morning to get to the city of Angelov.

The cruise we had a week with the following schedule:
November 22 - sail from Los Angeles
November 23 - in the sea
November 24 - in the sea
November 25 - Mexico, Puerto Vallarta
November 26 - Mexico, Mazatlan city
November 27 - Mexico, Cabo Sun Lucas
November 28 - in the sea
November 29 - Arrival in Los Angeles

It all started with the fact that immediately after landing all guests needed to gather for exercises on actions in emergency situations and fitting rescue vest:)

Every late evening we brought the program the next day containing different useful information. Sunset sunsets, weather, schedule for the day, speech from one of the crew members, different shares from bars and shops on board. It is very convenient!

I will say to you honestly, we are not skeptical to cruises, but we have experience in the ferries in Scandinavia, you can not be called successful. But Ruslan always says that you need to give a second chance to everyone. And we decided to try a cruise on the American manner.

But on the very first day I caught myself thinking that I did not like. It seemed to me that I inspired myself on my own will, let him and quite large square, but inspired. I just don't want to spend your vacation. I need a moving, my brain needs a new information, you need something special.

And then what? Pile of pools? Well, we sat in one hour. You could not swim, because Dubak! We burned out. One more hour. You can go. Another hour passed. What's next? It seems that this is what rest in Turkey and Egypts on the system all inclusive. On the huge territory of one hotel, outside of which there is nothing to do.

This is absolutely not my type of rest, so relax is too boring for me. But not to go around in the middle Pacific Ocean:) Only one thing remained to relax and enjoy. And as soon as this thought was realized, the world began to play new paints.

I actually tell all this. First, I am for honesty. Secondly, if you are the same fanatic active restYou must be prepared for this moment. Thirdly, the same shieldopop, as I may, it is worth choosing a cruise with few days in the sea.

I'll be back at this point, but for now let's show you a liner. This kind of deck is my love. It seems I could walk on them all day ...

But not all decks are open for walks, as some of the cabins have balconies.

But we took a very simple cabin without a balcony and even without a window. It was clear that the time we will spend in the cabin will be minimal, and if so, then it is possible without the window.

This is a bathroom. Very comfortable, by the way!

On be back on the deck. On the 14th, for example, there were two large zones each with their pool. But one with a balcony for live performances.

And the second with a large screen. This zone is called "Movies Under Stars". During the day there were mainly concerts and sports competitions.

And in the evening, the cinema shown and spread popcorn.

By the way, before the cruise it was impossible not to think about how all three thousand people will fit on the ship. But not only that we all fit and the feeling of the crowd was not! And all six pools could find a sun bed.

The sun beds were standing on all open decks and there were more than enough. Clean towels were freely access and in unlimited quantities.

Our favorite pool was on the stern. He was still leather than everyone else, but the look around the look forced my heart to beat more! And on the last day we fought in it!

Just look at this ocean trail! He is so manit !!!

What else I especially liked on a liner - I could have been worn around the ship. And we often drose here.

And here they admired the sunset.

Sunset to the word was very much :)

As for food. It was possible in several places. First, in restaurants. In which it was possible to sign up in advance or not to record at all. You could sign up either on early dinner at 5:30 or 8pm. As one experienced cruise traveler told me, the recording guarantees landing at the table, since those who want to have lunch at an early time, for example, much more than free tables. We never dinner had never dinner, and at eight or nine evenings, no difficulties were tested in any of the restaurants.

In addition to restaurants, there is also a buffet. A more familiar name for it is a buffet. The only difference from its usual format, the waiters are applied to you, and not you yourself.

I really liked to walk in the buffet. Firstly, his more extensive food range I was more likely, since I was easier to decide for him to decide what exactly I want to eat. And, secondly, the fact that you could take the food and go to anywhere of the ship is invaluable.

The quality of food was super.

We also filmed on it :)

On the same decks, various mothers usually passed.

For example, the performance of a fearless girl.

Or master class on folding napkins.

To which I joined with huge pleasure And worked unprecedented beauty.

But this photo I want to highlight that simplicity that reigned on a liner. Yes, and which is generally very characteristic of the states. People at the master class gathered more than there were seating. But no one was upset and just sat on the floor and began to learn. We will lower the consequences of the cold floor for the body, but in general it happens everywhere - the people sit down where it wishes and not to steam about anything. And I now do that too. And this is such a buzz!

Walking further. Of interesting placesthat the theater would still like to show. We came here a couple of times. The first time was the uncle of a mentalist who read thoughts. Has anyone watched the series "Mentalist"? So, this very uncle was a consultant in this series :) The second time there was a concert that the crew members arranged. It was very curious to look at how the waiters and the croupier sing songs or dance.

We looked in the fitness room. Well equipped with luxurious views. Here it was possible not only to work out on simulators, but sign up for group classes. I really wanted to get on yoga, but everything was not possible.

For children, there was a whole children's club into which access was closed. But we managed to look at at least a basketball court.

And there was a "field" for golf.

It turned out that golf is indecently boring game :)

But but the choice of books in the library is extremely pleased. It was also possible to take to play board games, which were too sea.

Casino and some other places on the ship we never visited. But it is not at all for us. By the way, returning to the impressions of the ship and this type of rest, my negative feelings of the first day remained in the past.

In general, after the stops began in the cities, I generally stated a liner as a means of movement between cities. Early in the morning you are in place, all day before sunset, we study the city and come back. We take a shower and you have another evening entertainment - concerts until midnight, pianists, singers, and open-air discos. All evening have fun without thinking about anything, the bed is two steps, and tomorrow is a new day, new town And the lot of impressions.

And at the expense of the days in the sea I was very clearly understood by the breakdown of the first day. Usually we start vacation with activities and on all over vacation, depending on the existing forces, we allocate a couple of days to a relaxed rest. And here the relaxed rest began, illogical and unusual. But the brain took it, realized and began to relax.

And finally, I'm talking about prices. We bought a cruise in August. The cost of a cruise for two amounted to $ 1660. In addition, every day is automatically written off $ 11.50 per person for tip. And this is another plus $ 161. We also spent $ 43.54 for the Internet on board the liner. Another $ 62 - on drinks that were not included in the cost of the food. And approximately $ 150 in three days in Mexico, including taxis, food, cocktails, rental of sun beds. Total, the whole cruise for two cost us $ 2100.

It seems nothing forgotten. Ask everything you want :)

Mindel, Cape Verde from
1095 €

The word "cruise" scares the average russian tourist Just be frightened by the mighty, grown on the dumplings of the Siberian man frogs in sour cream. And in vain. Paws ... that is, cruises, - an excellent alternative to the tourist menu. Moreover, they have a number of advantages.

The lack of a static moment of ordinary resorts that transform holidaymakers into the amorphous sausages roasted in the sun - an already excellent incentive. Sea breeze, endless Dali, Albatrosse, soaring high in heaven, waves running out of a keel for the horizon - seems to be an excellent alternative, isn't it?

No unbearable tropical acclimatization, no persistent beach raised. And then, for ordinary 7-10 days you have time to visit the same country, and immediately in several, you will see the best seaports, life and people separated by languages \u200b\u200band borders. You can go to the cruise at any time of the year and in any part of the world - whether it is exotic French polynesia, Ice Arctic or classical Mediterranean.

The only minus for people with a sensitive vestibular apparatus is a sea disease. However, there are many ways to deal with marine disease, so during sea Walk Poor well-being will not hurt to enjoy endless expanses.

Question price: on what to save.

You will say: Cruise is great! However, the question in price. This is mad money. Yes. What? It is difficult to object to it. But again - the liners are different, not necessarily fashionable, cruises are different, not necessarily around the world, and the time of year is the same different, not necessarily summer. So the gradation of prices is quite large.

In terms of prices, by the way, there is one point. It will help you navigate and save. This is the location of the cabin. Most a budget option - Internal cabins. The cabins with the window are somewhat more expensive, but still less than cabins with a balcony. The lower decks are much cheaper than the upper, as well as the nose and feed compared to the center. Also, do not be afraid when I see the number in the booklet of the tour operator. The word "cruise" usually implies that its cost will include all entertainment and sports programs, sports equipment, swimming pool, meals, and sometimes alcohol. So to speak, leisure "turnkey". What is not included in the price - this is a shuttle to the place of departure, coastal tours and port fees, as well as some individual services - for example, SPA, washing and ironing clothes, some purchases on board.

Another "loophole" for savings - season. "Low" The tourist season is always cheaper than "high". The "low" season, by the way, in addition to the price, there is another advantage: most of the excursion of interesting port cities will be free from the crowd of tall tourists. You will be able to stroll on them slowly and with pleasure.

The cheapest tours are Mediterranean, the most expensive - on the southern hemisphere, the Arctic and Antarctic. In the summer, the "high" season is closer to subtropics, in winter - to the equator.

What else to consider when choosing a leisure cruise?

Size of the ship

Often it is even more important than his belonging to some cruise company. As a rule than more ship, Top more entertainment You will find on board. In the design of large cruise liners Pools, SPA salons, casino clubs and other pleasant places can be included. Small ships of such luxury, of course, do not provide, however, they can offer something other - a cozy atmosphere of a small country pension.

Age of ships

The older the liner is the less likely that all its amenities will be placed in suitable rooms for this. In new ships, all functional premises are envisaged at the stage of its design, while on the ships more early years You can, for example, to detect a sauna somewhere in the truma.

Ship class

Note that the liners have the same "star" classification, as well as hotels. However, here the same stars mean somewhat different. For example, standard cabins 4 * are usually less than the rooms at the hotel with the same star, but the service and the situation here, on the contrary, is not an example better. Service, by the way, on any ocean liners, regardless of their class, age and size, is always very good. Perhaps because there is no way to go from the side, in principle, and it is much more difficult to get to work on such a liner than in a regular hotel.

Purpose of the trip

It is important to understand - what do you want to go away with friends or relax to relax with your family. For the first goal there are more small liners, but the giants cruise rest, on the contrary, is usually perfectly adapted for family holiday - Nursery, children's gaming rooms, high railing. And in that and in another case, by the way, you can safely save: among cruise companies The pricing system is distributed, at which the first two passengers in the cabin pay the full cost of the cruise, and all the others are much less.

Booking

Sea cruises - Care of claimed. Therefore, to the very popular destinations Tickets need to take months for 3-4. Moreover, they are first to understand, as a rule, cabins of the lowest and highest classes. So in the middle class you can have time for the month or two. On sea cruises never happens "burning" prices. Here, everything is exactly the opposite: the cost increases the more, the closer the day of departure becomes.
