点评:Absolutely amazing New Years Eve experience. Firstly, the pre experience communication and purchasing was seamless. Directions to pick up point/ embark and disembark, itinerary, FAQ (& website in general) - All On Point. Shout out to Gemma Greatbatch and Stacey Evans.
The experience itself; arrived and received our life vests and boarded the boat to find a cozy blanket (it was -2c !) and a goodie bag containing: sweets, Pringles, Mini Cheddars, lindor minis, a shortbread, Maltesers, a key ring, reusable covered cup, can of raspberry vodka and a bubbly flute. We embarked at 11pm and took the usual Thames Rocket route but at a regular speed (it being NYE, rules we’re guessing). Seeing London lit up for the festive period and for NYE was nothing short of magical. Our host (Sophia) was fabulous. Bubbly, courteous and funny. Our skipper (name?) was absolutely brilliant too. We took up position just behind Westminster Bridge, centre of the Thames next to Big Ben and Houses of Parliament at around 23:30. At that point the bubble flowed with regular top ups and non alcoholic alternatives. Our skipper navigated the boats joining us ending with them all behind us, the River Police in front and the best view of the London Eye. We all joined in with the countdown and then the spectacular fireworks began. To be in the middle of the Thames, cozy under a blanket with treats felt like we were in the best seat in the house! We then motored back up the Thames and disembarked at Bankside. A truly unforgettable experience. Thank you!
翻译:真是令人难忘的跨年夜体验!首先,体验前的沟通和购买流程非常顺畅。从集合地点/登船/下船的路线、行程安排、常见问题解答(以及整个网站)——一切都无可挑剔。特别感谢 Gemma Greatbatch 和 Stacey Evans。
体验本身:抵达后,我们领到了救生衣,登上游船,发现船上准备了一条舒适的毯子(当时气温是零下2摄氏度!),还有一个礼品袋,里面装着:糖果、品客薯片、迷你切达奶酪、迷你瑞士莲巧克力、一块酥饼、麦提莎巧克力、一个钥匙扣、一个可重复使用的带盖杯子、一罐覆盆子伏特加和一个香槟杯。我们晚上11点登船,沿着泰晤士河火箭号的常规路线行驶,但速度正常(我们猜是因为跨年夜的规定)。看到伦敦在节日期间和跨年夜灯火辉煌,简直美得像梦境一般。我们的导游(Sophia)也棒极了。热情洋溢、彬彬有礼、风趣幽默。我们的船长(名字?)也棒极了。晚上11点半左右,我们在威斯敏斯特桥后方,泰晤士河中心,毗邻大本钟和国会大厦的位置停泊下来。之后,我们畅饮气泡酒,也享用了各种无酒精饮品。船长驾驶着其他船只与我们汇合,最终所有船只都停在我们身后,河警船停在我们前面,我们得以欣赏到伦敦眼的最佳视角。大家一起倒计时,然后壮观的烟花表演开始了。身处泰晤士河中央,裹着毯子,享用着美味的点心,感觉就像坐在剧院的最佳位置!之后,我们乘船沿泰晤士河逆流而上,在南岸码头下船。这是一次真正难忘的体验。谢谢!
