Strong stomach needed, but great views minus lack of marine life
Cruceros Costa de Calmia的点评
点评:After not being able to secure any sea based activities last year (we came in October half term holidays and were based in the more remote Alcudia, this year in Palma Nova) we were determined to get some on sea action this year.
We managed to secure 3 tickets for the Dolphin glass bottom catamaran sea excursion for ourselves and our 15 year old son. It lasted 2 hours and we soon realised we did not have sea legs! After about 10 mins they anchored up for people who wanted to swim off the back of the boat. This is not explained in the leaflet and nobody told us when booking so if you are confident swimmer in deeper water then come prepared.
As for the trip it tootles up the and down the coast as the crew announce over a loud speaker the main sites and attractions (with the engines it was hard to hear the muffled announcements). This is all book knowledge as I spent most of my journey clutching my stomach aching for dry land! Joking apart there were a few people who were actually sick and in hindsight we think it was probably too choppy for the Captain to have green lit the trip.
One disappointing element as well was the glass bottom part. Whilst it theoretically offers good views on both sides of the craft, the water was very thick and murky and save for two inquisitive jellyfish, we literally did not see any marine creatures which given the fact we were floating in a small cove for 20 mins (my stomach definitely remembers that part) you’d think it would be awash with marine life, but nothing.
My judgement of the trip is clouded by the fact I felt pretty wretched but that’s just me. If you like cruises though and have the stomach for it then the views are lovely just be prepared that you might not actually see any fish!
翻译:去年我们没能参加任何海上活动(我们是在 10 月的期中假期来的,住在更偏远的阿尔库迪亚,今年住在帕尔马诺瓦),因此我们今年决心参加一些海上活动。
我们设法为自己和 15 岁的儿子订了 3 张海豚玻璃底双体船海上游览的票。游览持续了 2 个小时,我们很快意识到我们无法适应海上生活!大约 10 分钟后,他们停泊了船,供那些想从船尾游泳的人使用。宣传单上没有解释这一点,预订时也没有人告诉我们,所以如果你有信心在深水中游泳,那就做好准备吧。
至于这次旅行,它沿着海岸上下行驶,船员们用扬声器宣布主要景点和景点(由于发动机的缘故,很难听到模糊的公告)。这些都是书本上的知识,因为我在旅途中大部分时间都在捂着肚子,渴望着干燥的陆地!开玩笑地说,有几个人确实生病了,事后看来,我们认为船长批准这次旅行可能是因为海浪太大。
还有一个令人失望的地方是玻璃船底。虽然理论上可以从船的两侧看到很好的景色,但水很浓很浑浊,除了两只好奇的水母外,我们真的没有看到任何海洋生物,考虑到我们在一个小海湾里漂浮了 20 分钟(我的胃肯定记得那部分),你会认为那里应该有很多海洋生物,但什么也没有。
我对这次旅行的判断被我感觉很痛苦的事实所蒙蔽,但这只是我的感觉。如果你喜欢游轮旅行,并且有勇气,那么景色很美,但要做好准备,你可能真的看不到任何鱼!
