Stunning Scenery, Missing Main Course
Great Journeys New Zealand的点评
点评:Great views and premium feel, but be aware of the upgrade costs and lunch menu.
The Good:
- The Scenery: Absolutely spectacular views from Auckland to Wellington.
- The Carriage & Crew: The seats are very comfortable with a premium feel, and the staff is incredibly friendly and approachable.
- Food Quality: The meals themselves are delicious and high quality.
The Could-Be-Better:
- Missing Main Course: Lunch was a letdown as it lacked a proper main dish. We were served a waffle course and a cheese course for our midday meal, and didn't receive a substantial main course until the very end of the journey. An upfront menu would be highly beneficial.
- Carriage Layout: The Scenic Plus carriage is located at the end and at least four cars away from the open-air viewing carriage in the front, making it quite a trek if you want to take photos outside.
- Upgrade Pricing: We upgraded from Scenic to Scenic Plus at the last minute. This was disappointingly much more expensive than just buying a Scenic Plus ticket from the start. Book in advance!
翻译:视野绝佳且体验高端,但需注意升级费用及午餐菜单的情况。
优点:
- 风景:从奥克兰到惠灵顿的沿途景色简直美不胜收。
- 车厢与服务:座椅极为舒适,给人高端奢华的体验;工作人员也极其友善且平易近人。
- 食物品质:餐点本身美味可口且质量上乘。
可改进之处:
- 缺少主菜:午餐时没有提供像样的主菜,略显遗憾。我们的午餐提供了华夫饼和奶酪作为配菜,但直到行程即将结束时才上主菜。如果能事先提供菜单的话就再好不过了。
– 车厢布局:Scenic Plus车厢位于列车尾部,距离最前方的露天观景车厢至少有四节车厢之遥,因此若想到车外拍照可要走相当长的一段路。
– 升级费用:我们是在临行前才从普通Scenic车厢升级到了Scenic Plus车厢。令人失望的是,这种方式的费用比一开始就购买Scenic Plus票要贵得多。务必提前预订!
