  Chapter 327 Cruise ship's maiden voyage [big chapter]

  All walks of life in England pay a lot of attention to her. As the youngest dame in the UK, she is also the owner of the Premier League giants and a philanthropist. The news inevitably mentions a few words to catch up with the trend. This year, a philanthropist was also honored, and some people want to analyze why she is special than others.

  Some people say that Joanna made a huge contribution, and Britain, which is steadily declining, needs such people to stand up and lead by example; some people think that family background is more important, and if an ordinary civilian does the same thing, the result will definitely be different. Also slightly dissatisfied with the unfairness of the royal family.

  Joanna, as the party concerned, does not express any opinions to the outside world. She is as low-key as those nobles. But the Elizabeth Foundation announced the good news on the social network, and attached a few photos of the Queen holding a sword and patting half-kneeling Joanna, expressing their congratulations and congratulations to the Dame.

Facts have proved that Joanna has many supporters, retweets and comments were once popular, and countless netizens congratulated and congratulated her. Retweets, favorites, and ups and downs, I am afraid that some celebrities' activity photos and selfies are not necessarily Can be so hot, but she did it.

  As a non-public figure, this is extremely rare.

The next day there was an analysis: one is the image, just like Princess Diana back then, she looks very pleasing; The sustenance; the last is wealth, and most of the world advocates wealth.

  In general, rich, beautiful, good background and positive energy have contributed to the status quo.

In Chinese, Joanna is popular, but they are all positive images, and a large proportion of "fans" support them. They don't care about young and insiders. The dead British royal family needs this kind of active public. Nobles It's time to come out of the castle to bask in the sun, too.

   As a result, Joanna went to the street the next day and was recognized by sharp-eyed people. Although there was no celebrity sensation, it was always unavoidable to face congratulations and small requests for group photos. In the end, the bodyguards rescued them on the grounds of lack of time. When you go to the street later, you really have to dress up seriously.

  Britain can't stay, so they just go home, at least the Americans don't care about these. An Feng took the freshly baked dame on the plane and returned to California, continuing the sunny days with blue sky and white clouds. Meanwhile, the Queen's commercial maiden voyage is imminent.

  When the cruise ship was delivered at the end of November, Ocean Shipping was already making preparations, including on-board service personnel, layout and decoration of various restaurants, brand stores, cruise ship route planning, etc. They strive to make their official commercial maiden voyage within one month after the cruise ship docks.

   It is now January and the maiden voyage is imminent.

  An Feng notified his friends of the news and invited them to participate in the maiden voyage of the world's largest and most luxurious cruise ship.

  Because the time is very appropriate, around Christmas happens to be the holidays for Westerners. The peak season of tourism is the same in China. The traditional Spring Festival is about to usher in, and most people are on vacation. As soon as An Feng shouted out the slogan, countless people responded, all expressing their desire to participate in the most luxurious journey.

   There are a lot of acquaintances, and the parents and sister's family from China are naturally indispensable. It is a memorable maiden voyage ceremony. In addition, Xiangyang and his wife were also present, to give themselves a vacation, and to meet the maiden voyage of the world's largest cruise ship, an opportunity not to be missed. Yu Hao and Ye Ning, whom they met in China, also brought friends.

There are more overseas ones. Roger and Miranda reserved seats as early as when the cruise ship was built. Two years later, they must not be absent; Bazel's family will also be there, and if Matthew's wife is not pregnant, he will also be there. Attend. In the end his daughter Catherine came to play with her boyfriend.

   This is just An Feng's circle of friends, and there are quite a few of them including Joanna.

As a commemorative maiden voyage, and out of respect for the big boss of the consortium, GP invested millions of dollars and aggressively reserved 1,000 places. Our new year reward: an eight-day tour of the Caribbean on an ultra-luxury cruise ship.

  The name of the world's largest and most luxurious cruise ship is very attractive, and it has been mentioned in American and foreign media. In the UK, the Elizabeth Foundation also promoted it on Facebook and Twitter. Attached are a few more pictures of the Queen Joanna.

   Then some European tourists also booked boat tickets.

  An Feng also invited Gu Li and his friends to participate. It’s not good to work hard all day long. Only by adjusting occasionally can you have a better state. He also considered that there are too many important people and too much influence, so he must pay attention to the protection of privacy and security. It is obviously safer to have professionals present.

The safety work of the cruise ship is contracted to Aegis Security. There are 6,000 tourists and more than 2,000 waiters. They will enjoy eight days of luxurious life at sea. Safety work is especially important. Occasionally there will be conflicts, such as drunken quarrels and the like Yes, the security guards can handle it properly.

  After getting the invitation, Guli joked, "Will you be paid?"

  An Feng said: "How about booking a luxury suite for free?"

   "Then I should bring a few more friends." Gu Li said.

   "Report the list to me before departure. This time there are too many friends, so we need to make careful arrangements." An Feng said straightforwardly.

"OK."

A week before the maiden voyage of the cruise ship, all the tickets have been booked out, among them, it is estimated that there are more than 2,000 people related to An Feng or Joanna—the GP company has 1,000 places, and the research center is also on vacation. The same goes for boat tickets, Bida, rewarding employees, assets under An Feng, wineries, etc... People he knows or knows indirectly account for 33% of the number of tourists.

  After getting the list of hundreds of people, An Feng began to think about how to arrange it.

He originally planned to invite friends and relatives free of charge, but most of them refused. The first voyage is a good sign, and paying is equivalent to supporting An Feng. The only requirement is to keep the good room—Specifically Suite, crowded environment is not what rich people want.

  He couldn't figure it out, so he handed over the job to the company.

   In the end, I was very professional. According to the status of the guests, the size of the family and their preferences, all the suites on the cruise ship were properly arranged. There are also many types of suites. The royal suite is over 100 square meters, the family suite is about 80 square meters, and the standard is only 30 square meters.

  Cruise ships are mainly for fun, and the living space is not large. Like an ordinary room, it is only a dozen square meters, but although the sparrow is small and complete, it rarely stays in the room when sailing at sea, and there are too many things to play. A huge cruise ship, to be honest, a short journey cannot be fully experienced.

  …

   Late January, Florida.

  The cruise ship is going to set sail at two o'clock this afternoon, and you can board at noon.

  The "Queen Joanna" docked at Fort Lauderdale, 30 kilometers away from Miami. The local area has a deep-water port that can berth hundreds of thousands of tons of giant ships, including the former world's largest cruise ship "Ocean Charm". The weather was fine on the day of departure, and the two cruise ships docked side by side.

This scene is very spectacular. Many tourists are taking photos of the two super cruise ships. The difference of 5,000 tons more than the Queen is obvious. Its body is slightly wider than the other cruise ship, and its length is four meters longer. It successfully took the world's largest cruise ship. The title of the cruise ship. It is estimated to last at least three years.

   Even if you start ordering a cruise ship now, it will take two or three years from design to construction. Therefore, during this period of time, no one can shake the Queen's title of the world's number one. For a shipping company, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity for publicity. Tourists naturally prefer the biggest and most luxurious.

   After lunch, An Feng called his friends.

  There are so many bigwigs here, so naturally we can’t keep a low profile. Before boarding the ship, the VIP guests have already gathered, and the dedicated waiters will help with luggage check-in, ship card handling and other consulting services. An Feng is in charge of counting the heads, and after confirming that everyone is present, board the ship first.

   And the cruise ship is also ready.

The general manager personally spoke to the waiters and the manager of the suite, because among the first batch of 122 people, there were not only VIP guests, but also some VVIPs, such as Dame Joanna, the ship was named after her, and her husband Ann , as well as the aristocrats from the UK and the super rich in the United States.

This group of people directly booked the suites of the cruise ship, and the cruise ship also specially set up waiters to entertain them, guaranteeing absolute super five-star service, especially when the ship owner is present, it must be as perfect as possible, and there must be no mistakes or mistakes. Oolong.

These waiters are not newbies. Some of them were transferred from the Sapphire cruise ship, and they are familiar with high-end reception. Everyone took their seats. Under the leadership of the captain, general manager and other department heads, welcome the first batch of cruise ship guests. Prologue to business operations.

  …

  An Feng stepped into the cruise ship, and the cruise service was ready.

  They first came to the fifth deck, which is also the welcome area of ​​the cruise ship, the most luxuriously decorated area. Now there are only waiters and VIP guests who are ready. The atrium on the fifth floor occupies the height of the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors, and there is a huge skylight above the head, which allows the sunlight from the eighth deck to shine down.

  The atrium is paved by a 200-meter-long luxurious road, named "Queen's Boulevard". On both sides of the street, there are a full range of luxury goods, leather goods, perfume, clothing stores, or souvenir shops, and coffee shops. The ground is paved with marble floor tiles. There are restaurants on the sixth and seventh floors on both sides, and there are crystal stairs next to it. Standing on the dazzling and shining crystal stairs, you can look at the splendor and luxury on both sides of Queen's Road, which is highly respected.

   Tourists walk around the heavily built Queen's Avenue, and they are full of praise.

"Turn on the crystal chandelier overhead at night, and this place will become a bustling commercial street in the city. There are all the shops, restaurants, and bars you need." An Feng introduced them, "But it's suitable for coming at night. Let's go to the first The eighth floor corresponds to the daytime style."

  Take the sightseeing elevator up, still immersed in the luxury of Queen's Road, suddenly changes in front of you.

  There are three atriums on the eighth floor, all of which are open-air. The largest one in the middle is planted with flowers and green trees to receive sunlight, and there are machines simulating insects and birds singing. There are restaurants and shops on both sides. The ninth and tenth floors are more viewing rooms with small balconies for tourists who like to be lively.

The atrium is like a small park, next to it is a towering and dense residential area. It feels like New York Central Park surrounded by high-rise buildings. There are also bridges, fountains, pavilions, and a few leisure chairs. Read books in your spare time... But with so much excitement on board, it's rare to be idle.

None of the three atriums on the eighth floor is as opulent as the Queen’s Road on the fifth floor. It is relatively fresh and quiet. You can enjoy a cup of afternoon tea or coffee quietly at the open-air dining table during the day, and chat with friends; That is the hardest hit area of ​​corruption and consumption.

  The fifth floor and the eighth floor have their own strengths, representing the night and day of the cruise ship. As an ultra-luxury cruise ship, it is known as a palace on the sea. There are day and night, and naturally sunshine and waves are indispensable. After the visit, they went to the fifteenth deck, which is the top floor of the cruise ship, completely open to the air.

  An Feng specifically said to the brats in the team: "You didn't enjoy the sunny beach days last time, let's make up for it here this time!"

  Andy cheered: "Great!"

  He also called Xiaoyu: "We'll go play the water slide later."

   "Of course." Xiaoyu Yingwen replied, the girl can say something simple after a lot of contacts.

  There are many seawater and freshwater swimming pools on the fifteenth floor. You can sunbathe by the pool, or lie down on the fence of the cruise ship and watch the sea leisurely. In the most spacious area in the middle, a water playground is set up, with water slides and slides installed, sliding down from the highest point of the deck, winding and circling, up to hundreds of meters long.

  The middle area is dominated by water and leisure. Passing through it, the front end is a leisure area and a lookout, and there is also an indoor leisure pool for tourists who like quietness. Looking up from the observation deck, it is the "tourist stop" area of ​​the cruise ship, and the No. 1 suite is in the best position above the head.

  It dominates the front and the highest point, showing the specialness of the owner everywhere.

   At the stern, there is also a building with the same height as Suite 1, but with a larger area, semicircular, like a flying saucer, surrounded by glass curtain walls. It is the big casino on the cruise ship, divided into two floors, where all the popular gaming items are concentrated, and small gambling is staged here every day.

   There is a bar on the 14th floor below the casino. Anfeng didn't advertise it, but everyone learned from the manual that it was the 18th forbidden area. After the ship sailed into the open sea, there would be a wonderful striptease show. Catering to the capital vibe—casinos and strip bars are always a must.

There is a huge platform at the stern, which is very spacious. There are two nine-hole golf courses, a basketball court, a badminton court, and a children's entertainment center. There are many cartoons and cute items, which can entertain children of different ages. . After that is the viewing platform.

  Looking down from the observation deck, the eighth deck at the stern is an open-air seawater theater, with performances day and night, water ballet, high diving, or water movies. The designer did not spare the space, and the side became a rock climbing area, with a height of at least 20 meters on the seventh floor, which can make rock climbing lovers enjoy themselves.

   What's more exciting is that there are two ziplines at the stern, which can slide down from the sixteenth floor to the eighth floor at high speed.

It took more than an hour to visit the three large areas. According to the introduction of the cruise ship guide, this is only 30% of the content. The opera house, cinema, or bars on the sixth and seventh floors, entertainment clubs, and the ground floor are located below the fifth floor. The skating rink, etc., all need to be explored.

  If you play carefully, eight days is definitely not enough, and fifteen days may just be enough.

Just looking at it along the way, you can see the strong interest on everyone's face. They are already making plans and asking the guide next to them how to make an appointment for service—there are too many people on board, such as some theaters and high-end restaurants. Reservations are required in advance. Otherwise, you will not be ranked.

Other guests also began to arrive. Since it was the first commercial voyage of the Queen, everything was strange and novel. No tourists had experienced it before, and they all walked around with full expectations. Exploring the sixteen decks was like a small City capacity sea juggernaut.

  After all tourists board the ship, they are required to participate in a safety drill, familiarize themselves with the life-saving tools on the cruise ship, and beware of it. VIP guests are no exception, because the danger will never have the "habit" of avoiding VIP. All participated in the half-hour exercise.

  After the exercise, the cruise ship is about to go to sea.

  An Feng invited friends to the viewing platform outside Suite 1, occupying a good position to enjoy the scenery.

Located at the highest point, you can see the scenery around Fort Lauderdale Harbor at a glance. Five or six super cruise ships are moored. The deep-water port is generally a cruise ship with a capacity of more than 150,000 tons. The former and the current largest cruise ship in the world are separated by two piers. The contrast between high and low is very strong.

   Slowly, the cruise ship left the port.

  The heavy whistle rang through the sky, and the dispatch of this huge beast could be felt within a dozen kilometers around. Tourists came to the railing one after another, looking at the coastline of Miami and the beautiful villas on the shore. The sharp-eyed Joanna also found their villa and beach.

   There are even some old men and old ladies in luxury villas sitting leisurely on the lawn, waving to the tourists with smiles on their faces, and the tourists waved back enthusiastically. On the towering cruise ship, looking at the small figures below, the friendly greetings hundreds of meters apart are very interesting.

  In this warm atmosphere, the cruise ship left the city and headed for the embrace of the blue sky and sea.
