The Best Hotel I’ve Ever Stayed In
P.1Last summer, my mother and I went to South Korea by a super luxury cruise -- Costa Atlantica, owned by Costa Crociere, an Italian company.The travel on land was not enjoyable, but on the contrary, the 5-day trip on board was better than we had ever thought.This is the external view of the super cruise.A lot of people said that she looked like an apartment building above a hull.
P.2She was the largest ship in the Costa’s fleet.What surprised me most was that her length was even longer than the first Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning.You can see here on the list, more than 1,000 cabins, 12 decks for relax or entertainment.So we had enough place to spend our time enjoyably.She could carry more than 3,000 people in total.
P.3Lifeboats are placed in niches on the ship’s side.We had the evacuation and drill practice right after we went into our cabin.It took about 30 minutes and all the paengers stood in order on every decks.The ship had enough lifeboats to carry all the paengers.Therefore, I had little worry about our safety.
P.4We had an Ocean View Cabin with a private balcony, with a direct view of the sea.So we can appreciate the beautiful scenery not only on the decks but also in our own cabin.The cabin was very spacious and comfortable.Every time we went back to our cabin, it seemed to have been cleaned and tidied up again.Cleaners provided us with a piece of Today newspaper about all the activities that would happen tomorrow.It’s actually very useful for us to decide whether to go to the magic show or to play games or other variety of activities.
P.5Cause we were next to the control cabin, we were excited to see the captain regularly.But it’s a long way to walk back if we started from the stern.
P.6My eyes lit up when I saw the inside of the cruise.Each space had a different personality.The cultural atmosphere was created by rooms such as the Tiziano Restaurant, Piazza Madame Butterfly, Casino and Caffe Florian.I was amazed to see the ever-changing atmosphere.
P.7Each paenger deck was named after a movie by the Italian director Federico Fellini, which seems a little romantic.The stairs and the lifts are ample and efficient.In the atrium we find high backed red leather chairs and different kinds of sofas that are all comfortable.
P.8Food was plentiful and good, we dined in the main restaurant, breakfast and lunch in the buffet.They had both Chinese food and western food, so we had plenty of choice.
P.9There existed everything you can imagine.The cruise was just like a mobile city sailing on the sea.They had different shows every night in 3 theatres.
P.10 There were also 4 restaurants, 12 bars, cafe, library, Internet point, 3 theatres, shopping gallery, chapel, card room, disco, gardens, Squok Club for children and teenagers, spa, beauty salon, gym, sports pitch, swimming pool, sunbath deck, and also even wifi on the sea.But the wifi was very expensive on board.It cost me 7 dollars although I only used it for 20 minutes.But people can surf the Internet in the library, not for free.
So all in all a great time was had by all.I loved it, food was fine, drinks were good, staff were all very attentive, polite and helpful.The hospitality and warmth made me in good mood every second.In spite of my seasickne, I went to almost every place of this excellent ship, enjoy the scenery outside and inside.I’m really satisfied with their service on board.
