My wife has been talking about going to Japan since she got married. However, the new home has just been renovated, and most of the money has been spent on cutting edge, so she has never made a trip. Now that the decoration has been completed and some money has been saved, the company will hold a commemorative meeting this year to commemorate the 15th anniversary of its founding on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Praise, and this trip will pass through Fukuoka and Kumamoto in Japan. The company is allowed to take their families with them this year, so we discussed with our wife that although it is not a self-help tour, it is also considered to go to Japan anyway, It's good to get familiar with it first. In addition, the author happily agreed to buy an SLR. For the author who does not have a small vault, this is great good news.
Royal Caribbean Salute
The itinerary is 6.23-6.28. In fact, this is mainly a cruise trip. Most of the five days and four nights are spent on cruise ships. There will be two days of stops in Fukuoka and Kumamoto respectively, so that everyone can land and go shopping. Royal Praise is the sister ship of Royal Quantum and the third cruise ship of "Quantum Series". The Royal Caribbean Praise has a gross tonnage of 168000 tons, an average speed of 22 knots, a length of 348 meters, a width of 41.8 meters, and a total capacity of 4834 passengers.
Tianjin Port Boarding Port
We set out from Beijing to Tianjin and boarded the ship from Tianjin Port. When I went to the port, I found that there were too many people. I originally said that my company was the first wave of boarding, but when I went there, I found that there was no such thing. All the people gathered together, which was the feeling of too many people in the scenic spot. So I had to wait slowly. After more than three hours, we finally started boarding.
Boarding
For the first time in their lives, many people started taking photos before boarding the ship, and the speed of travel slowed down a lot. However, looking at this colossus, I also think it is really worth remembering. After all, it is the first time for me to sit down. Well, I will take a picture of it.
lifeboat
Finally, I stood on the boat, which was unexpectedly flat and stable. The bright yellow one was a clean and bright lifeboat, which dispelled many people's worries.
Balcony room
The balcony room is prepared for the unit. Compared with the inner cabin, the biggest advantage is this large balcony. There are also reclining chairs on the balcony, which can comfortably lie outside to blow the sea breeze. The inner cabin does not have a balcony. It is said that it is an electronic screen that plays the scenery of the imitation balcony room. In contrast, this is more real and natural. After you have packed everything in the room, you start to plan your schedule for these days. Every day, there will be some staff on the cruise ship who will put out several cruise ship schedule guides for the day when cleaning. The guide covers the brunch period and open restaurants, as well as activities on deck and indoor activities, as well as various performances in the evening, interspersed with other activities such as shopping on the ship. The author and his wife have already set a good goal since they got on the ship: the activities on the ship are to eat, play, and stroll. After landing in Japan, they will buy.
So start.
Eat eat eat:
Lunch in Sailing Restaurant (buffet)
Aiken Restaurant (Smoked Salmon)
Aiken Restaurant (Steak)
Breakfast in 270 ° Cafe
Ice cream machine beside the deck swimming pool (three flavors, free of charge)
Sunbath restaurant (dinner charge, seafood hotpot, $29/person)
There are as many as 19 restaurants on the cruise ship with different styles. The cuisine covers Chinese, American, Italian, European, Japanese and other multinational cuisines. Except for a few fee paying restaurants, most of them are free restaurants. Basically, free restaurants can eat very well. If you want to experience different atmospheres and tastes, you can try a paid restaurant. By the way, although the toll restaurant is not a self-service restaurant, you can also place orders as long as you can eat. Due to the limited space, the author only put some pictures. In fact, you can change different tastes every day, provided that you'd better queue up in advance or branch off from the meal place. After all, there are more than 4000 people on board.
Stroll around:
When traveling before, my wife always complained about me. She said that the photos you took had a strong style of yours. When I asked what style it was, she said it was a typical Parkinson style. I told her not to worry this time, because I brought good things with me this time.
Feiyu stabilizer SPG-C
This is my cheeky Feiyu stabilizer SPG-C, a stabilizer specially for mobile phones. My wife won't have to worry about my shaking hands any more with this photo and video. Get ready to shoot on the boat.
When everything is ready, follow the writer to see the scenery and features of the Royal Caribbean Praise.
guardrail
Clean deck and calm sea, transparent high-strength glass can not only not hinder the view of the sea, but also effectively protect personal safety.
Outdoor swimming pool and children's playground
This is a paradise for young people, parents and children, where you can swim, bask in the sun, and eat free ice cream. Next to the restaurant, you can also watch outdoor movies at night.
Polaris sightseeing
As one of the special entertainment items on the Praise Ship, the charging item (basic: $20/person/time panoramic view: $40/person/time) can be lifted to the highest altitude through the mechanical arm to see the panoramic view of the entire cruise ship. Considering the height (100 meters above the sea level) and price, the author shrank back and only used the stabilizer to shoot a video to satisfy his craving. (The video clips taken by the end stabilizer are included)
Rock climbing project
There is a rock climbing project on the deck, but in view of the sea breeze hanging, the sea breeze is too strong, so this project was temporarily closed. In the distance, you can see two lovely giant pandas, one big and one small. They are the mascots of the cruise ship. Many people will take photos with pandas below. (Included in the end stabilizer video)
Panda mascot
Bow rest area
The bow rest area can be said to be a paradise for the elderly, where you can soak in the pool, where there is massage water flow, which can stimulate muscles and acupoints to relax. There are also reclining chairs nearby for relaxation. (Included in the end stabilizer video)
stern
The stern is also a good place for many people to take photos. It's really pleasant to watch the cruise ship chopping the waves, listen to the sound of the waves, and watch the waves blossoming. (Included in the end stabilizer video)
Deck surfing
One of the most picturesque sports among many features can challenge the pleasure of surfing. Compared with sea surfing, this is safer. The motor for simulating surfing can provide 30000 gallons of water per minute, equivalent to the amount of water in a swimming pool, so it is full of power. This sport attracts many people every day and can be played for free, but it seems that an appointment is required. (Included in the stabilizer video at the end of the article.) Behind it, the cylindrical place like a cup is the deck parachute jump project.
Deck parachute jump
The principle of deck parachute jumping is to create air flow through the vertical wind tunnel on the cruise ship, and then blow people to the "sky". From the whole picture, it is more like the picture of parachute jumping from the sky seen in movies and TV dramas, which is safer and more controllable than the real parachute jumping. This is a charging item, 29 dollars/person/time. (Included in the end stabilizer video.)
Sports halls
Game room

Robot Bar
In addition to deck activities, there are also many indoor activities, including special sports venues, game rooms, and casinos. (A colleague and husband from the film and television department of the author's company won 1000 dollars, which is really enviable). There are also interesting technology displays, such as robot bars. (Included in the end stabilizer video.)
Theatre Performance
The most valuable thing on board is the performance every night. There are various performances every night, from farce, vaudeville, singing and dancing, concerts to magic dramas. Finally, the author felt the charm of the small theater. From dance beauty to the performance of actors, it is amazing everywhere.
Purchase:
The most expected thing on the ship is to stop in Japan and go shopping. Although the time is short, it is still very exciting. When getting off the boat, continue to take my Feiyu stabilizer to go shopping.
Fukuoka at a glance
List of Japanese Houses
When we arrived at Fukuoka, the weather was always like rain, but it didn't rain until we left there. It is a feeling of few people, peace, cleanness and green.
Tour of Taizai Mansion
When you arrive at the scenic spot, it is no different from China. All the people in Uzbekistan are tourists (most of them are Chinese, and some Japanese tourists).
Swallows under the shop roof
Maybe we are used to this scene of people coming and going. The nest of swallows under the eaves of a store has become familiar with it. The numerous people have not affected them at all.
Kumamoto Port
The next day I went to Kumamoto. The signs on the port were all Kumamoto Kumamoto. The Japanese really took advantage of the animated image.
A horn of Kumamoto
It is still eye-catching green and clean environment. The Japanese are indeed worth learning from. Many places are very clean and tidy, which requires the improvement of social system norms and personal quality. We need to learn these good aspects.
Eight Dynasties City Trace
Eight Dynasties City Trace
Kumamoto only has eight generations of city sites to visit. It is said that after Toyotomi Xiuji's conquest in Kyushu, the Kato family, who was enfeoffed to Kumamoto, established Maidao City. After the city was damaged by the earthquake in 1619, it rebuilt a new Songjiang City, which was later renamed the Eight Dynasties City. The Eight Dynasties City is not big. In addition to the Eight Dynasties Palace inside the city wall, there are only the city walls that can be seen and photographed. The only part of the Eight Dynasties City wall can be climbed to see the surrounding scenery.
However, the stabilizer did play a very good role this time. The picture did not shake, and the video shot was smoother. The author also made a contrast video.
A life supermarket near Badaicheng
Supermarket at a glance
Because the travel time is too short, only about 30 minutes, so we can only visit nearby for a short time. We don't want to waste this time. We just walked out and found a local supermarket of life. There are a variety of things here, and the price including tax is lower than that of the duty-free shops we went to (the duty-free shop of Kengdai). So, We hurriedly swept some goods (a snow pan and a jade pot, plus a pile of cosmetics) and hurried to chase the army, otherwise we would not be able to go back to the ship.
The five day and four night cruise ended in a hurry. For the author, it is still a long way to go, but fortunately, this time I brought the Feiyu stabilizer, and saved most of what I saw in this trip as precious memories. I am looking forward to the next trip. Next time, I will take Feiyu Stabilizer to shoot more films of my own.
