点评:We booked for two nights, and it is important to understand that this is not the Queen Mary. It is a traditional houseboat cruising slowly along the backwaters. On our first night we moored in the middle of the lake, not far from the naval academy, after stopping earlier at a nearby beach. It was wonderfully peaceful and serene during the evening.
With that in mind, the boat was very comfortable. The bathroom and some of the furnishings and rugs are perhaps a little tired, but everything was fully functional and we always had plenty of hot water when needed.
The crew were excellent and could not have done more for us. We were particularly fortunate the day after our first night when we disembarked and were taken to see a Theyyam performance. We had intended to stay for about half an hour but ended up remaining for nearly three hours. It was absolutely fascinating to watch, and the crew stayed with us throughout. Afterwards we returned to the boat and continued cruising along the backwaters.
The food was good. My wife and I are not especially keen on very local cuisine, but the crew did their best to accommodate our preferences and we ate very well. Breakfast was excellent, with eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms and toast prepared just as we like them, along with fresh fruit. We really could not have asked for more.
Overall it was a wonderful experience. Our bedroom was air conditioned at night and there was usually a lovely breeze across the water which kept things pleasantly cool.
In my view one night would not be enough, but more than two nights might be a little too long. Two nights felt just right. I would highly recommend the experience, and once again many thanks to a wonderful crew.
翻译:我们预订了两晚,需要说明的是,这并非玛丽皇后号邮轮,而是一艘传统的游船,沿着内陆水道缓缓航行。第一晚,我们在湖中央停泊,离海军学院不远,此前我们曾在附近的沙滩上停留过。夜晚宁静祥和,令人心旷神怡。
考虑到这一点,这艘船非常舒适。浴室、部分家具和地毯或许略显陈旧,但所有设施都运转正常,热水供应充足。
船员们非常出色,竭尽所能地为我们服务。尤其幸运的是,第一晚之后的第二天,我们下船后被安排观看了一场泰亚姆(Theyyam)表演。我们原本打算停留半小时左右,结果却待了将近三个小时。表演精彩绝伦,船员们全程陪伴着我们。之后,我们返回船上,继续沿着内陆水道航行。
食物也很美味。我和妻子对当地特色菜并不特别感兴趣,但船员们尽力满足我们的喜好,我们吃得非常满意。早餐尤其丰盛,鸡蛋、西红柿、蘑菇和吐司都按照我们的口味烹制,还有新鲜水果。我们真的不能要求更多了。
总而言之,这是一次非常棒的体验。我们的卧室晚上有空调,而且通常会有习习凉风吹过水面,让人感觉非常舒适凉爽。
我觉得住一晚不够,但住两晚以上又可能有点太长了。两晚感觉刚刚好。我强烈推荐这次体验,再次感谢热情周到的船员们。
