点评:Our Regatta ship docked at the Incheon Port, but as their shore excursions were overpriced and underwhelming, we decided to visit this interesting city with just a transfer from the ship called “Seoul on your own”, $254 just for a bus ride. Big mistake…..the travel time was approximately 1.5 hours each way, which should have given us 3hrs to see some of the sites in Seoul. But Oceania, being consistent, had not planned on how long it would take for us to get from the ship to the port exit….we were still sitting in the Theatre (meeting place for our trip) over an hour later….which resulted in actually only 1 1/2hrs in the downtown area, so disappointing. So when we were dropped @ Deoksugung Palace near City Hall….we hit the ground running! We walked onto Gyeongbokgung Palace (closed but managed to get pics of the outside & of Gwanghwamun Gate) then walked onto Cheonggyecheon Stream, great for people watching, if you get the time. Then back to Deoksugung Palace just in time for an impressive traditional ceremony of the changing of the guard (free entry for those of us older!) Definitely worth a visit, then time to jump back on our transfer bus for another >1 ½ hrs back to the ship.
翻译:我们的帆船赛停靠在仁川港,但由于他们的岸上观光项目价格过高且缺乏吸引力,我们决定乘坐名为“首尔自由行”的游轮,仅乘坐巴士就要254美元,直接游览这座有趣的城市。真是个大错误……单程旅行时间大约1.5小时,我们本来应该有3个小时的时间游览首尔的一些景点。但大洋邮轮一如既往地没有计划好我们从游轮到港口出口需要多长时间……一个多小时后,我们还坐在剧院(我们行程的集合地点)里……结果实际上在市中心只待了一个半小时,真令人失望。所以,当我们被送到市政厅附近的德寿宫时……我们立即开始了行程!我们步行去了景福宫(虽然已经关闭,但还是拍到了外观和光化门的照片),然后走到清溪川,如果时间充裕的话,这里非常适合观赏来来往往的人群。之后我们回到德寿宫,正好赶上一场令人印象深刻的传统卫兵换岗仪式(我们这些老年人可以免费入场!)绝对值得一游,之后我们又要乘坐换乘巴士,再花一个半小时回到船上。
