All four East Coast vessels of the U.S. cruise ships were built at their own shipyard in Salisbury, Maryland. Although they are a bit loose on the outside, the interior is comfortable in large comfort, with simple and pleasant decoration, even if it is a bit dull. The main lounge is surrounded by many floor-to-ceiling windows, with large windows everywhere to view the past. Except that they are of different sizes (older age glory About half the still life Spirit, star, and independent), the boat is almost the same, until the carpet pattern and furniture.

The shallow drafts of these boats allow the creek to lead directly to the town center, and the port facilities may seem like they were designed for kayaks rather than cruise ships – in one harbor we actually send the boat’s mooring line to a tree in the park, rather than the usual iron column. Keeping it simple also expanded on board. Forgot the electronic ID card to get you on board or off the boat; here, the staff just recognizes everyone. These ships are usually just waiting for the scheduled sailing time when everyone returns. A small boat hanging from the stern can be used to send passengers on board, at a port where there is no docking. It is also occasionally used in bird watching tours.

Because itineraries always embrace the coast, there are few waves or motions to say, so these cruises will be welcomed by those who are worried about seasickness. Unstable Glory, spirit, and Star When they are hit by any waves, they still bounce, but the latest ships, independent, Correct this problem by adding a Rolls-Royce stabilizer, allowing the ship to sail to other vessels, at least comfortable. since independent Originally scheduled for the summer of 2010, all the details in this review describe Glory, spirit, and Star Unless otherwise stated.

If one thing does separate the U.S. cruise route from other coastal competitors, it is the cabin. These cabins average 225 square feet, rather than the closet-sized boxes usually found on similarly sized American boats, are larger than most standard Megaship cabins and nearly double the adventures of the major regional rival Blunt small boats. The cabin is comfortable, clean and pleasant – not to mention bright, thanks to the large windows that actually open, narrow but serviceable balcony (you get one or the other). But, like in public areas, their decor is not completely stylish. Each cottage has a capital desk, nice storage space, bedside table, hairdryer and a satellite TV with about 20 channels. The bathroom is very spacious and the water pressure is very good. Elderly cabin glory The touch is smaller than the touch above Spirit, star, and independent, Especially at the front end of the lowest deck, the curvature of the bow will decrease square feet.

Each boat has several cabins for solo passengers (now a real rare passenger), and at least one cabin with access to wheelchairs. Each boat also has an elevator that allows wheelchair passengers to enter the entire boat.

The individual dining room for each ship is located on the lowest deck at the stern with windows on three sides. Breakfast is usually conducted from 7:30 to 9am, and then breakfast and muffins are placed in the main lounge at 6:30am. Lunch time starts shortly after the coastal tour returns, usually around 12:30 pm. 5:30 pm PM before the cocktail party 6:30 before dinner.

Three common lounges and plenty of open deck space provide passengers with plenty of elbow space. The main lounge is located directly under the bridge and has high windows on three sides that offer stunning views. As a spot for nighttime cocktail hours and evening speeches, it’s a social hub on board and a great place for board games or chatting with crew during the day. The two smaller cabin-sized lounges in the central stairwell give smaller groups the chance to mix or play with the bridge before dinner without being disturbed. All three lounges are decorated with the same simplicity, soft colors and functional, earthy furniture, all of which are not exciting. Just in front of the main lounge is a small deck with a few chairs and tables that can absorb outdoor activities while watching the sunset.

The top deck of each ship is covered with a material similar to Astroturf and has a sports awning, a plastic window bed lounge, and a table and chairs. On warm sunny days, this deck is a great place to read and chat, and the coastline is often within sight.

Sports equipment is limited to single-workout bikes and stair masters. Most passengers move by going ashore independently and traveling through towns.
