Chapter 352: A Journey of Luxury (Part II)
The dinner, which was held exclusively for VIPs, was a success, with everyone talking freely and immersed in the theme of cruise luxury, and after the dinner, everyone moved to a piano bar to continue the high-society drunkenness and glamour. Luxurious, colorful, and desirable.
Luxury is played out throughout the cruise, and the cruise ship also slows down the seas, and the next morning it docks at the island nation of the Western Caribbean, where visitors can disembark for a tour. Joanna took An Feng to "go shopping" in the morning, and the time was a little wrong, but after stepping into the Queen's Road, the atmosphere immediately changed.
Against the pale gold background created by the bright lights, stepping on the crystal staircase, the nobility and elegance are fully displayed, as if you have come to a luxury shopping mall, with all kinds of shops at your hands, and the exquisite goods displayed in the windows attract men and women passing by, and the temptation of tax exemption = temptation is to instigate customers to empty their pockets.
An Feng admires the creativity of the designer, even in the morning, it can create an atmosphere of shopping in the bustling commercial street at night, and whether it is the environment or the lighting, it is several levels higher, and the super five-star standard is very high.
Especially standing on the crystal staircase on the sixth and seventh floors and looking down, there are golden scenes everywhere, which hollowed out the designer's mind and attracted the attention of visitors. An Feng commented that this is the most corrupt place before, and that's not wrong at all, just look at the ladies who shop.
An Feng walked slowly, not knowing Joanna's purpose: "What do you want to buy?" ”
"Bikini swimsuit." She said her eyes look for the brand she is recommending.
"Isn't there?" An Feng said.
"There are better styles here, and there are yesterday's worn, I don't want to repeat them." She is also corrupt to say that clothes are usually disposable concepts.
"Well, as long as you like." An Feng shrugged, he didn't care about the money at all.
"You like it too. Isn't it? She turned her head and said.
"Of course." An Feng smiled and hugged her, specially dressed for him to see, can you not like it?
"Hmm...... There are also everyday clothes. Joanna pulled him into a clothing store, "This time I'm only wearing a dress, I'm running out of clothes." ”
An Feng automatically ignored her famous excuses, and he assured that it was after she saw the Chanel store. The reason for the temporary addition.
But dressing her up as the noblest, most beautiful and high-profile lady has always been An Feng's passion.
It took some time to shop in the morning, and Joanna was satisfied with handing over the bags to the waiters, who would deliver them to their rooms without the need for guests to walk too much. Then went for lunch and said hello to some friends. At noon, the cruise ship docked at the island nation on the route.
Cruise ships generally spend 70% of their time on board, and there are also projects underboard. Now visitors can change into their swimwear and go down to enjoy the sun. The ship's staff took the time to clean and decorate. Let the visitors who have had enough of the afternoon return with a new look.
On the beach, Joanna naturally proudly shows her figure, her love of sports makes her very healthy, her skin is tight, and her figure is maintained in standard proportions, not only men's attention, but also women's envy, and finally she can only comfort herself with "not a few taels of flesh on her body".
An Feng felt that it was very suitable for him. You don't know until you've used it. She is not a model with a bony body, and the advantages of height and skeleton make her proud enough to stand out from many Yanmars. The perfect "sanctuary" is the best proof of this. Finally, it's just walking on the beach and envying them.
……
Soak up the sun for a while, then go to some beach activities, play beach volleyball with beautiful guys, and connect with feelings. In the absence of a cell phone signal, electronic equipment is scrapped. Just play the moment, everything is back to basics, play and leisure without worries, and the journey is perfect.
Return in the afternoon, as expected. The cruise ship has been renovated, the seats are neatly arranged, the handrails of the corridors and stairs have been wiped clean, and the ground under your feet has been mopped and dried to ensure that guests can walk without slipping...... All the details will satisfy the most discerning guest.
Put on your newly bought fashion, choose to have a cup of afternoon tea in the open-air restaurant on the eighth floor, surrounded by sunshine and green trees, occasionally a few extremely simulated insect chirping, stretching comfortably, listening to Joanna's planned entertainment projects for the next few days, this is life.
Ten minutes later, my sister and brother-in-law also came to sit down for a while.
An Feng looked around: "What about the bear child?" ”
My sister smiled and said, "It's been entrusted." It's so attentive, there are several children's entertainment and childcare places on the ship, where the children can play together, and there are special children's teachers to teach them some entertainment projects, and now Xiaoyu is busy sharing happiness with the friends she just met. ”
"That's good!" An Feng said that adults also need their own space, so naturally they can't follow the bear children at any time.
After chatting for a while, they asked their friends to go to the skating rink on the third floor to play, and then they said goodbye first, and then Wang Le and Xiang Yang also passed by, and sat down to rest when they met acquaintances. Talking about the new things he just encountered. When An Feng heard this, it turned out that he was going to watch a three-dimensional movie.
The cinema on the cruise ship is specially equipped with holographic 3D technology, and through the technical support of GP, the 30-minute short film produced by the film company is authorized to be screened here, and the audience can feel the shock of the latest holographic 3D technology in addition to ordinary flat or 3D movies.
Xiang Yang appreciated it for the first time, and it was very strange: "This American's technology is really amazing, it looks like the real thing, and it was pointed out later, and some people around the audience were also fake, holographic projections, and the first reaction at that time was, 'Can you not be so scary'?" ”
"Haha, that sounds so funny." An Feng said.
There was a scream overhead, and a guy slipped through the sixteenth floor zipline over their heads and landed at the very front of the eighth deck.
An Feng turned around and asked Joanna, "Was that Bazel just now?" ”
Joanna was skeptical: "It seems to be." ”
An Feng was surprised: "I really didn't expect him to have such a side, let's go and take a look?" ”
Joanna was also very interested, and An Feng said goodbye: "You go on, the bill will be on my head." After saying that, he took out a few hundred-dollar Franklin and put them on the table, and the waiter who came over smiled sincerely at the two who left in a hurry, this boss and the proprietress are generous enough.
An Feng walked through the elevator building and came to the atrium at the front, just in time to see the staff unfastening the safety buckle on Bazel's body. This proves that the person who screamed just now is indeed him...... They came to Bazel to see the rare animals, and his son Charlie was taking pictures of him.
An Feng joked: "I have never dared to play this project." ”
Bazel looked at them and smiled: "Experience the fun of being young, the effect is really good, it's exciting." ”
Everyone laughed, and they could see the active side of His Excellency the Baron. It's a rare thing, but it also fits the theme of the cruise: let everyone go and play. With the stress and worries of work behind you, it's time for fun, so it's time to play.
……
In the evening, after having a lunch with An Feng's family, she went back to shower and change clothes, the same formal dress, Joanna appeared in a warm red suspender dress this time, and the stylist matched her with a sparkling pearl necklace and a diamond-encrusted white gold bracelet. An Feng accompanied her to the opera house.
Located at the front of the cruise ship, the opera house occupies the second, third and fourth floors, with a capacity of 1,000 spectators, and has a repertoire of both day and night, but the most exciting at night, with many classics, including her favorite "Phantom of the Opera". Tonight is another well-known musical, Miss Saigon.
The theater was full by the time we arrived, but fortunately the seats were reserved. The waiter led them to the middle of the front and sat down, and there was no VIP box here. It was purely a public area, but there were some acquaintances sitting next to him, and Anthony had brought his wife with him.
After they chatted a few words, the musical was staged.
Maybe it's her emotional side, Joanna wants to see "Miss Saigon" is also a tragedy, the story is set in the Vietnam War. Before and after the fall of Saigon, it tells the tragedy of a Vietnamese woman abandoned by her white lover, portrays the society at that time, and satirizes the greed of Americans for feelings.
It feels like a modern version of the opera Madama Butterfly, and the striking thing is that some Asian actors are used in the play. And not as bad as playing Asian with white people yellowed like in the eighties and nineties. In the end, the ending of "Miss Saigon" is the same as that of "Madame Butterfly", using suicide as a mother can bring the greatest contribution to her children - leaving her children with her lover and sending them to live in the United States.
The "American-Dream" that revolves around the second half has become a satire of Chi Guoguo. The actors' curtain call and the applause lasted for a long time, worthy of a classic musical, which was deeply moving, mobilized the audience's emotions well, and Joanna's sympathy was also overflowing.
However, after the end, An Feng took her to eat dessert, and the delicacy quickly buried her sympathy.
An Feng smiled: "You just owe food!" ”
……
Even with a discerning experience, the cruise ship can satisfy Anfeng.
As long as the service is done well, there will be no problem in the future, and even make a profit, and earn back the money for building cruise ships -- at present, the cruise industry is a new tourism industry in the world, with millions of tourists every year, and there is a tendency to spread to Asia, and the Chinese market is huge enough to be developed.
In the case of the Queen, a voyage of 6,000 tourists costs nearly $20 million, and if it is a long-distance voyage, it will cost more than $20 million in fifteen days, plus other expenses, sea projects, etc., at least $25 million for a trip, and $500 million in ten months in a year.
It's still a good investment, and the couple likes it -- that's the main reason, they like that even if it's a loss, they can accept it, and the investment is tax deductible. Sold it after the big deal...... Then build a bigger cruise ship.
Halfway through the trip, the cruise ship docked in Jamaica, where the locals were welcoming, and when they got off the boat, they could see a band welcoming them, hats on the ground, talented young black men performing tropical songs, and many passing tourists would throw in dollar change in support of the arts.
There are other things such as stilt walking, pirate play, Jamaica is mostly black, and it is located in the Caribbean, playing a pirate is vivid, very movie style. After some of Anfeng's friends went ashore, they rushed to the local duty-free shop to buy authentic "Blue Mountain Coffee".
But An Feng and Joanna have no love for coffee, so they go rafting.
The original bamboo raft rafting is very interesting, sitting on a simple raft tied with bamboo, there is a black old man standing in the bow, very cool to travel on the bamboo raft, floating along the river in the hot weather, the bank is full of bamboo and green trees, the water is also green, deep and quiet.
The bamboo raft floated along the river, and the river in front disappeared into the dense forest, which seemed to have come to an end, but when you looked closely, it was a hole in the sky, and it suddenly opened up. Continue to wander quietly in the bamboo forest, which makes people return to nature. After more than an hour of rafting, it feels like traveling through time and space.
The journey on shore is not long, and when you return to the harbor city, you can see in the distance the cruise ship parked at the pier, more majestic than any of the surrounding buildings. Tourists are on their way back, and black youths on stilts see them off. The locals are also smart and know how to use good service in exchange for tips.
Joanna looked at the Queen and suddenly said, "Shall we go to the bow of the ship?" ”
An Feng looked at her.
She tiptoed and pointed to the very front of the ship: "There it is!" When the ship starts, we can play as Rose and Jack! ”
"As you wish!" An Feng said with a smile.
There is a green tarmac at the very front of the bow, and according to safety regulations, tourists are not allowed to land here, so it is unrealistic to imagine standing on the bow of the boat and blowing the sea breeze to play romance like a movie. But since it is called "Queen Joanna", it is naturally fully open to the hostess.
They climbed to the bow of the ship and stood at the very front. The captain who was notified decided to speed up after going to sea, and the cruise ship could drive up to 25 knots at the fastest, and the wind and waves were enough, so they stood at the tip in style and felt a classic action in the movie.
It feels okay, but the boat is going too fast, and the wind and waves are blowing so that the eyes can't be opened.
But just be happy, to be able to stand in this special position, I have envied many tourists who can only stand on the upper floors to feast their eyes. (To be continued......)
