8 Cruises(2)
The ship selection of cruise ships can firmly follow the principle of "the bigger the ship, the better", because of the popularity of stabilizers and modern navigation technology, passengers will not feel the wind and waves outside most of the time - on the contrary, the service on board is more obvious in the price - in the deeper, in terms of quantitative values, the ratio of crew to passengers is an objective measure of the quality of service (of course, not absolutely). The ratio of large ships such as the Royal Caribbean, the Prince's Cruise, and the New Lowland Cruise is too low, and the energy is certainly not as good as that of the higher-priced Regents, Gimhae, and the Varyantin, who have developed from inland rivers to the open sea. (Author's note: The name of the cruise line has been changed from the real world)
Lin Yilong and Amy chose the Voyager of Jinhai Cruises.
The cruise ship, which was launched seven years ago by Turku Dockyard and adapted from the hull of a nuclear-powered icebreaker from a Baltic Shipyard, was overhauled at the dry dock in Hamburg at the end of 13 years. The main routes operated happen to be cruise lines in Europe and Asia-Pacific. Precisely because it is impossible for a ship to teleport directly from Europe to the Far East out of thin air, every year in February and March, the ship undergoes a "relocation" voyage, that is, a month and a half from Sidney or Meowmoto to European waters, and the end point of each year is indefinite, but this year's end is just in London.
In order to make his life more comfortable, Lin Yilong booked the "Grand Suite", which is second only to the "master suite", which is not much different from the decoration and layout of the Plaza Oriental Hotel arranged by Xu Zhenkun before, but the cost of catering and shore projects is all included. Lin Yilong paid a total of 35,000 pounds for the two of them, which was much cheaper than the cost of last summer's yacht.
"I hope you enjoy the voyage. The price of the suite also includes butler service and priority reservations for on-board meals, and the butler assigned to this suite is a Latina who graduated from the London Butler Service School and looks exactly the age of Lin Yilong. The butler services he can provide include concierge services related to guests, unpacking and packing, coordinating guests' daily life, and shining shoes, but tidying up the suite is not his job, and the deacon in the ACG field and the real-life suite butler are two different creatures.
"I will, Mr. Neto. Lin Yilong replied, "Shall we go to Hailong tomorrow?"
"It's the morning after tomorrow. Please call me Enzo. The butler replied, and then took out salmon snacks, two goblets, and two bottles of white grape juice drink from the cabinet next to him, "It's a pity that Mr. Lin and Miss Ren can't drink, our champagne is actually very good." ”
"Thanks, I don't drink. Lin Yilong smiled, "I remember that dinner was reopened at half past six in the evening?"
"That's right. Enzo confirmed.
"Please help us make the bed at that time, today we have a busy schedule and are a little tired. Lin Yilong said in a casual tone, and then with a wicked smile, he looked at Amy.
Amy was dodged by the blazing gaze.
"No problem. Is there anything else you need?" asked Enzo.
"No more. Lin Yilong presented a 20-pound bill as a greeting gift, despite the fact that all-inclusive cruise lines have always opposed travellers.
Enzo smiled even more, and slowly exited the room.
The cruise ship anchored at 6 p.m. on the evening of the announcement, by which time Lin Yilong Amy had already changed into the banquet dress purchased in Harbour City and was ready to attend the opening dinner.
At half past seven, the captain of the ship, who had finished the departure procedure, gave a speech and introduced the first officer, second officer, third officer, hotel manager, chief waiter, and chief engineer to the guests.
Lin Yilong just listened absentmindedly, and his eyes were attracted by Amy.
Amy wore a dark blue cocktail gown, silver earrings, a necklace made of white gold or silver, and a bracelet of the same color as the necklace. Such a cheap ornament does not make people covet any property.
"Actually, a cruise can be boring at the end of the day. Lin Yilong said during the chat, "Because the closer you get to home, the lower your psychological tolerance will be, and the more you want to go home." Because the freshness has passed, point to a good rest. ”
"I had a lot of vacations. Amy smiled, "So, I hope Brother Yilong's worries don't happen." ”
"That's good. Lin Yilong said with a smile, "I don't plan to get off the ship at any port other than the Lion City, and when we can have a safe journey to get off the ship, it is estimated that we will all arrive in Crete." ”
"Why?" Amy was puzzled by Lin Yilong's decision.
"For health reasons, if you say you've been to South Asia and Southeast Asia, the hospital will ask you a lot of questions, so it's better to just say, I haven't been there, and that's it. Lin Yilong said, "So, if I don't leave entry information in my passport, there is no trace." ”
"It's a little stuffy. Amy replied.
"It's a bit stuffy indeed. Lin Yilong replied, "So, Amy might as well go back to London for two weeks after arriving in the Lion City, and then wait for me in Crete." I don't care, I can take care of something here at any time. ”
"Are you sure you don't need me with you?" asked Amy.
"It's fine. Lin Yilong smiled, "This is just my own wish, and I don't need to accommodate Amy." ”
By this time, they had finished their dessert and their coffee. Before returning to the cabin, Lin Yilong took Amy's hand and walked to the top deck.
Despite the fact that the sea temperature outside was above 23 degrees, the wind brought by the speed of eighteen knots made the open deck a little cold, and there was nothing to see next to it except for the stars of the sea ships in the distance.
After walking two laps, that is, 200m, Amy expressed her willingness to go back because of her thin clothes.
Back in the suite, everything was as Lin Yilong had requested, with the so-called turndown service, and on the bedside table, some two pieces of chocolate and two bottles of water were placed.
After the usual pre-bedtime shower, even though it was a little cold outside, Lin Yilong still wore a bathrobe, lying comfortably on the recliner on the balcony, listening to the music from the headphones until his warm body fell into his arms.
"Brother Yilong. Amy sneered.
"It's too cold outside, go inside, you're wearing so little. Lin Yilong deliberately tugged to make the front of Amy's bathrobe open.
Amy feigned horror and ran back to the bedroom.
After nearly 40 minutes of chasing and fighting, the two were a little exhausted and snuggled up to each other.
"I don't have any pressure to be promoted anymore. Amy hinted very carefully, "The people in the dance company probably know this, and that's why they gave me such a long paid vacation." ”
"Then can you stand the pressure from your family?" Lin Yilong asked, vaguely expressing his objection, "At least wait for the second half of the year, Amy, you don't want to be crowned as the new chief who 'hasn't been on stage once' and receives a salary alone, right?"
Feeling Lin Yilong's tactful refusal, Amy was a little unhappy.
"You know Katie. Lin Yilong persuaded Amy, "If you stood in her position, what would you think?"
Amy was smart enough to understand the meaning of Lin Yilong's words.
"So, I'm looking forward to seeing Amy's Gloria in the second half of this year. Lin Yilong touched the girl's head and said.
