1) MSC Of poesia appeared to the light in the past year. On April 5, 2008 in the port of its dover solemnly “they crossed”: as the cross mother of new liner it appeared Lauren's [Sofi]. Liner has five stars, which corresponds to status of five-starconfrontation hotel.
2) Displacement tonnage - 89 600 tons, on it is located 1275 cabins in which they can travel 2550 people. Crew and the service personnel - 987 people. Maximum speed - 23 units (one unit this of 1,852 km/h).
3) Poesia became the ninth liner of Italian cruise company MSC. Among other vessels of company is Armonia 4*, Lirica 4*, Opera 4*, Orchestra 5*, Musica 5*, Sinfonia 4*. In the following year they will be accepted in the operation Of splendida 5* and Fantasia 5*.
4) On the liner of 15 decks. To 4-6 are located official- administrative accomodations, and also two restaurants, several cafe, theater, stores. From the 6th through the 13th are located the cabins, to 13-15 - ponds and place for the sunburn, and also bars, gymnasium and cosmetic salons (centi-Pa) and cafeteria.
5) A little the forms of public accomodations. Despite the fact that elevators there was much and to the deck it was fallen according to three elevator Halls, to wait for them was, perhaps, largest problem.
6) Certainly, the pair- troika of decks can be on the stairs galloped, but rise from 4 or 5 decks to 12-13 - pleasure not always pleasant and rapid.
7) Promenade sixth deck. It is interesting that there is no through passage on it, and they were on all past liners.
8) Internet- salon on the sixth deck. In the difference, in addition from the previous cruises, where the Internet was only in such centers, on this liner to fall into the network it was possible both stationary and through the cable in the cabin or through Wi-fi in several cafe.
9) Bars “zebra”.
10) Cigar room, but for the smoking not only of cigars. Isolated from the external world as decompression chamber.
11) Bars “lagoon” - the only internal bar, where smoking is permitted. As other places room mentioned above, and also place on the 6th strolling and on the 13th decks. In other places the smoking is strictly forbidden, including in the cabins and on the balconies.
12) One of the internal coffee- cafe, where besides the coffee on -Mexican (with the [tekiloy]) and Irish (with the whisky) was prepared “Russian coffee”. Is understood by the main thing [indigrientom] was vodka.
13) Land- bar.
14) Wine bar.
15) Figure gallery- auction. Initial price is written on the table, any desiring can make it above and if on the sums it there will above others that purchase picture.
16) Rates from 300 to 2000 Euros for the piece.
17) The photo-salon, where are represented the photographs of tourists taken in the voyage. Naturally to sale. Each stand and output into the city, entertaining measure or supper is taken by regular photographers, is printed and is advanced. The most amusing in the fact that the photo-conveyor works by itself: desires tourist it is removed or not photographer it does not interest, he removes all and entire. Therefore the majority of photographs on the stands - with the cut persons, the figures, the outside people or the simply closed with hands persons. Costs all this disgrace from 10 Euros for the piece.
18) However, there is an alternative survey. This is already artistic work Post-[obrabotkoy]. Cost from 20 Euros for the photo, 36 for two and so on to the decrease. Complete set consists usually of 5-7 photographs, several are conducted for the cruise of similar sessions against the different backgrounds.
19) We return to the decks. This of 13-15 decks. Two ponds, [dzhakuzi], place for the sunburn.
20) On the photo everything sparcely populated because is taken at the moment of the end of cruise. Practically all places in ponds are always occupied during the cruise itself.
21) For the sunburn it is possible to take towel, but here is what the amusing thing: they issue it only under the painting, it is compulsory also necessary and to return on the map and at the end of the water procedures of it. I understood on the urban beach the sense of similar contrivances, which were not being encountered earlier, in Dubrovnik: all towels which there issued into the rental were stolened from the motor ships, with the firm symbolism.
22) Visa regime for the marine tourists in some countries works in the simplified regime. Thus, for instance, after visiting Italy, Croatia, Greece and Turkey we shaped only Italian [shengen], but at all outputs into the city they asked neither passport nor of any other documents, except onboard map. The only that, on the stands in Turkey at the output into the city issued leaflets with the die- visas, but their no one asked on the return.
23) Cruise begins from the fact that the arrived in the port passengers are encountered the representatives of company, who after verifying pass, select large-dimension luggage, glue tallies and they send onboard.
24) After parting with the luggage we proceed with registration. On photo one of the landing cruise terminals in Venice. Since landing lasts almost six hours, then there are no turns, tourists spread in the time and the space.
25) Here everything as in other cruises: you approach to the counter of registration, you present tickets and documents, you they photograph and start onboard map (it key, passage and the means of payment) and after returning weapon and narcotics you go onboard. On the input-output the map rolls through the scanner, which notes your presence or absence aboard.
26) Thus, about the cabin. We have the standard two-place cabin with the balcony, located on the 9th deck.
27) Washroom
28) Balcony
29) Interactive TV and mini- bar. About the bar I think there is no sense of special to say, and against TV in more detail. This is not simple collection from the satellite channels, but also the means of the contact of the administration of vessel with the tourists. Besides translations from the video cameras, located in the different public places of liner, there it is possible to learn weather, position, ship time (important function with repeated change of time zones). About five channels advertising - in the regime of [non]- feet turn transfers about the life aboard and different services and two are dedicated to safety. Transfers about the recovery facilities and the actions in the extraordinary situations there are repeated. Still it is possible to compose film library for the survey and to read a little different news and proposals of the current cruise life.
30) From each passenger during the day 6 Euros for the harvesting of cabin are removed. Harvesting is conducted two times in the day and in our case always everything was ideal. On our photo- eternally imperceptible and elusive Stewart- conductor (it looks) and the type of the corridor of the 9th deck.
31) Each evening into the cabin place newspaper, travelling sheet on tomorrow, where are indicated the time of stands, dinners and suppers, and also different events aboard. All questions about any events or problems are solved on the counter of [resepshena], located on the fifth deck.
32) It is worthwhile to note that in our case here it worked three [russkogovoryashchikh] colleagues, all girls from the Ukraine.
