点评:Just returned from a long weekend Narrow boat Canal trip on The Kenneth and Avon Canal with Black Prince Holidays based at Bradford on Avon. We were a group of five friends ( ages 40-70 ) and this was the first Canal holiday for all of us.
The booking process was straight forward and when we arrived the staff were very helpful and friendly and suggested we stow all our luggage on board then they would go through the workings of the Boat with us, this was very comprehensive and then came the time to set off. A staff member guided us out and through the first lock ( which is adjacent to the Marina). Stayed with us until we felt comfortable then left us to our own devices, our Boat was about 65ft long with three comfortable bedrooms , two toilets ( one with shower) a small but well equipped galley and seating/dining area. Maneuvering took a little getting used to as the section towards Bath was busy but it doesn't take too long to master the basics, the Black Prince staff gave plenty of useful advice about places to eat and where to tie up for the night , all in all a most enjoyable experience, two of our party felt it wasn't really for them, this wasn't because of any issues with Black Prince who couldn't have been more helpful, personally, I loved it and would happily go again and certainly with Black Prince!
翻译:刚刚结束了在肯尼斯和埃文运河上的长周末窄船之旅,这次旅行我们选择了位于埃文河畔布拉德福德的黑王子假日公司(Black Prince Holidays)。我们一行五位朋友(年龄在40到70岁之间),这是我们所有人的第一次运河之旅。
预订过程非常简单。抵达后,工作人员热情友好,建议我们先把行李都放上船,然后他们会详细地向我们讲解船只的操作方法。讲解非常全面,之后就到了出发的时候。一位工作人员引导我们驶出船舱,穿过了第一个船闸(就在码头旁边)。他一直陪伴我们,直到我们感到舒适为止,然后就让我们自由活动了。我们的船大约65英尺长,有三间舒适的卧室、两间卫生间(其中一间带淋浴)、一个虽小但设备齐全的厨房以及一个休息区/用餐区。由于前往巴斯的航段比较繁忙,所以需要稍微适应一下驾驶,但掌握基本驾驶技巧并不需要太长时间。“黑王子”号的工作人员提供了很多有用的建议,包括哪里可以吃饭以及晚上可以停泊在哪里。总而言之,这是一次非常愉快的体验。我们一行人中有两位觉得不太适合他们,但这并非因为“黑王子”号有什么问题,他们已经尽力提供帮助了。就我个人而言,我非常喜欢这次体验,并且很乐意再次前往,当然,下次肯定还会选择“黑王子”号!
