点评:We did the 7-night cruise on Iberostar Grand Amazon from Sept 2-9, 2024. Overall, we had a great time on this trip.
Boarding and de-boarding in Manaus is fairly easy (as long as you’re able to move your own luggage up/down the long ramp to the docks). The ship itself is showing some age, but it is still in pretty good shape.
Passengers were primarily Brazilian and there were only a handful of fellow English-speakers; communicating with the crew is also challenging sometimes unless you speak Portuguese, but they do their best (and often have translator apps on their phones, if needed). We speak some Spanish and this did help a little bit at times.
Food is obviously subjective, but we always found something we liked (note: there will be a lot of different fish served at dinner). Some favorites over the week were pizza, fried fish and ice cream during “snacks” on the top deck, omelets at breakfast, and bread in the main dining room at all meals.
The excursions were hit and miss, and often subject to which wildlife is out and about, but the guides are all excellent and do their best to make sure you have the best experience possible.
By far, the highlight of our time on this trip was the crew, all of whom did an excellent job and worked very hard to ensure guests enjoyed their cruise. Some crew members truly stood out, went above and beyond, and deserve special recognition here (and we included where we primarily interacted with them): Edson (main dining room), Samuel (main dining room), Marco (pool area), Diogo (lounge bar), and Nailson Reis (many areas).
However, the very best crew member we met during our week was Vitor, who was a bartender on the top deck (near the pool). Vitor always had a smile on his face, always had a great attitude, did his best to communicate with us despite language barriers, and made the best drinks on the ship. Iberostar is very lucky to have him.
翻译:我们于 2024 年 9 月 2 日至 9 日在 Iberostar Grand Amazon 上进行了为期 7 晚的游轮旅行。总的来说,我们在这次旅行中度过了愉快的时光。
在马瑙斯登船和下船相当容易(只要您能够将自己的行李沿着长坡道上下到码头)。船本身有些老了,但仍然状况良好。
乘客主要是巴西人,只有少数英语使用者;除非您说葡萄牙语,否则与船员交流有时也很困难,但他们会尽力而为(如果需要,他们的手机上通常会安装翻译应用程序)。我们会说一些西班牙语,这有时确实有点帮助。
食物显然是主观的,但我们总能找到我们喜欢的东西(注意:晚餐会供应很多不同的鱼)。一周中一些最受欢迎的食物是顶层甲板上的“小吃”时的披萨、炸鱼和冰淇淋、早餐时的煎蛋卷以及主餐厅的所有餐点的面包。
短途旅行时好时坏,而且经常取决于野生动物的出没,但导游都很优秀,尽最大努力确保您获得最佳体验。
到目前为止,我们这次旅行中最精彩的部分是船员,他们都做得非常出色,非常努力地确保客人享受他们的游轮之旅。一些船员确实脱颖而出,超越了预期,值得特别表扬(我们包括了我们主要与他们互动的地方):Edson(主餐厅)、Samuel(主餐厅)、Marco(泳池区)、Diogo(休闲吧)和 Nailson Reis(许多区域)。
然而,我们这一周遇到的最好的船员是 Vitor,他是顶层甲板(靠近泳池)的调酒师。Vitor 总是面带微笑,态度很好,尽管语言障碍,但他还是尽力与我们沟通,并调制了船上最好的饮品。Iberostar 很幸运能拥有他。
