点评:I’ve just disembarked my first proper sleeper cabin train experience and my expectations have been well and truly exceeded.
My wife and I are ~30 and live in Longreach, so we may not be the typical passengers on the Spirit of the Outback, but I think we’ll be back on board as often as we can.
We travelled overnight from Longreach to Maryborough so we could visit Fraser Island for our babymoon.
Straight off the bat I was impressed by the customer service of the entire crew, particularly Steven, Dan, James and Dave who looked after us this time.
Dani and I shared a twin sleeper cabin, and while I was surprised by how small it seemed at first, once we’d settled in there was ample space for our bags and relaxing.
I’d heard rave reviews about the food, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Great presentation, well cooked, delicious flavours.
We had our own table for a romantic dinner but shared one for lunch with Kev and Suz, a lovely couple of retirees from Sydney.
The bathroom facilities were fine, basically like you’d expect on a plane, nothing to write home about.
I had a great sleep 😴 I’d say I was jostled awake as much as I was gently jostled to sleep 😂
I’m ~6’1” and fit snugly on the bed, but I could see how taller folk would need to start getting a little creative.
Aside from the odd tight squeeze when the bed was down and when there was traffic in the corridors, we were never uncomfortable.
There were lots of little things (too many to mention) that really made this experience special, and I can highly recommend it.
翻译:我刚刚体验了第一次真正的卧铺火车车厢之旅,体验远超预期。
我和妻子都快30岁了,住在朗里奇,所以我们可能不是“内陆精神号”的普通乘客,但我想我们会尽可能多地乘坐这趟列车。
我们连夜从朗里奇飞往玛丽伯勒,以便去弗雷泽岛度蜜月。
全体乘务员的优质服务给我留下了深刻的印象,尤其是这次照顾我们的史蒂文、丹、詹姆斯和戴夫。
我和丹妮共用一个双人卧铺车厢,虽然一开始车厢很小让我感到惊讶,但安顿下来后,我们发现有足够的空间放置行李,可以放松身心。
我听说过人们对这里的食物赞不绝口,这里绝对没有让我失望。摆盘精美,烹饪精良,味道鲜美。
我们共进浪漫晚餐,但午餐时和Kev和Suz(一对来自悉尼的退休夫妇)共用一张桌子。
卫生间设施还不错,基本上和飞机上的设施一样,没什么特别之处。
我睡得很好😴我得说,我被轻轻推醒的次数和被轻轻推入睡的次数一样多😂
我身高大约6英尺1英寸(约1.93米),睡在床上很舒服,但我能看出个子高的人需要发挥点创造力。
除了床铺放下来的时候偶尔会有点挤,以及走廊里人来人往的时候,我们感觉很舒服。
很多小细节(太多了,无法一一列举)让这次体验如此特别,我强烈推荐。
