Norwegian Gem to Bermuda

(1)

没乘过邮船,订票前心里七上八下的,一是怕晕船,二是对一望无际的大海有恐惧感,想不到付了钱后,心里出奇地平静,随着出发日期的接近,我们开始兴奋,我们选了Norwegian Gem 去Bermuda, 七天游,3天在岛上,4天在船上,在纽约上下船。

好友5月刚从百慕达邮船回来,给我寄来了她研究的资料和推荐:HORSE SHOE BEACH, CRYSTAL CAVE, HAMILTON, St GEORGE,。。。。。

我们到岛后第一天去了HAMILTON, ST GEORGE,CRYSTAL CAVE,感觉一般,第二天去了HORSE SHOE BEACH,被震惊了,沙子细得像棉沙糖,水温85F,泡在海水里随浪起伏妙不可言,很想第3天再去BEACH,无奈已买好excursion snorkel,第3天SNORKEL玩的也很开心,如果再去BERMUDA,我们就天天泡海里。

船上服务吃的都很好,第一晚我们还吃到了龙虾,船上有很多活动,带了几本书,一本也没看完,非常非常喜欢那个DIRECTOR,HE IS SO FUNNY!他带工作人员演出的FOUNTAIN 是我最喜欢的节目之一,在网上能看到。

给我们收拾房间的小伙子礼貌风趣,每天用毛斤叠一只动物,孔龙,兔子,小狗,蟹,有一天开门进房看到梁上悬着个猴子把我们乐的,几天没舍得拿下来。
