First cruise experience 🚢 Gulangyu Cruise from Hong Kong to Ishigaki Island

🚢First time cruise experience, enjoy slow life🌊 among the vast blue and white It was the first time in my life that I took a cruise, and I unlocked a new way of seeing the world on the Gulangyu. It was a good experience, and now my mind is still full of that healing sea🌊 🏠 About room type I chose the upscale balcony room where it wasn’t the alarm clock that woke me up every morning, but the waves and sunrise over the sea. Open the balcony door and you will see the endless sea. This is the feeling of vacation⛱️ 🧾 Essentials Be sure to bring your own toothpaste toothbrush, the room is not provided. There are disposable slippers, bath towels, shampoo and toiletries in the room, a bottle of mineral water on the first day, others depending on your habits and needs. 🚢 Cruise itinerary Hong Kong → Ishigaki Island → Hong Kong, a total of five days and four nights, the time is just right, you will not get tired. Leaving Hong Kong at 7pm on the first day, you can see the bustling night view of Victoria Harbor when you depart from Kai Tak Pier. The second and fourth days are sailing days where you can take beautiful photos and participate in various activities on the ship. On the third day we stayed on Ishigaki Island for eight hours and we signed up for a boat tour to Kawahira Bay, Yaeyama Folk Village, and Aeon Supermarket. We could disembark at around 10am on the fifth day, and the whole trip was easy. 🎡Entertainment activities Every evening, a "Star Travel Daily" is placed at the door of the room, introducing the next day's itinerary and precautions. The ship has a cinema, swimming pool, gym, library, interactive games, concerts, and the nightly song and dance performance at the Star Sea Theater on the seventh floor is the highlight and is very exciting. Those with children should note that the Star Paradise on the 8th floor can be hosted for free. If you leave your children, you can enjoy your own quiet time. 🍴Meals There are two free restaurants on board. The oriental restaurant on the sixth floor has an elegant and western-style environment. The Lido buffet on the 12th floor has more Chinese cuisine, which the elderly will prefer, and they can use their own cups of juice and hot water there. The most healing is the time spent in a daze on the balcony every day, watching the sea turn from blue to orange and feeling the sea breeze blowing gently. No work disturbance, no life trivial, only this blue and white in front of you🌊 As a first time cruiser, I was very satisfied with the trip and would give it an 8 out of 10. If you still have any questions about the Gu Lang Yu, you can ask me #CruiseTravel #Gulangyu #JapanSummerTravel #Ishigaki Island #GulangyuCruise #CruiseFirstExperience
