NgeeNkululeko ezininzi, inkululeko, ukuzimela, njalo njalo (zonke "iiLwandle", kunjalo) kulula ukulahleka.
Ngokukhawuleza, igama lomgca malunga nokuqalisa inqanawa ebizwa ngokuba yi-Eurodam.
Ukuba ukhe wahamba ngenqanawa konke konke, ngokuqinisekileyo uyazi impendulo: I-Holland America. Inkampani idume ngamagama aphela “edamini” - isithethe senkulungwane esenza ukuba iinqanawa zayo zibonakale kwangoko.
Ngoku kuthiwani ngokuzimela kweeLwandle, okwenza ukuba kuqale ngoMeyi?
Kulungile, iRoyal Caribbean. Ngokumiliselwa, umgca uya kuba neerekhodi ezingama-22 zokuhamba ngenqanawa ngegama eliphelela kwibinzana elithi "kwiiLwandle" elisetyenzisiweyo kudala.
Eminye imigca iyakhazimla ngokuza namagama angalibalekiyo. Abanye, kulungile…
"Ndikufumanisa kuyinto engaqondakaliyo ukuba iinqanawa zokuhamba ngeenqanawa azinakuba nobuchule obungakumbi," utshilo umlindi kwicandelo uCarolyn Spencer Brown, umhleli weCruisecritic.com.
Umzi mveliso okhula ngokukhawuleza wokuhamba ngenqanawa usungule uninzi lweenqanawa kule minyaka idlulileyo, kwaye uninzi lwazo zilungelelaniswe. Oko kwenza igama elithandekayo kubaluleke ngakumbi ukuvela kwisihlwele. Kodwa njengoko inani leenqanawa likhula, ukufumana ophumeleleyo kubonakala kusiba nzima.
Njengoko uSpencer Brown esitsho, isityalo esitsha samagama asikhuthazi. Kwaye eminye imigca ide ibhenele ukukopa amagama asele esetyenziswa ngabanye.
IRoyal Caribbean, umzekelo, kutshanje iphehlelele inkululeko yeeLwandle, kwiminyaka nje emibini emva kokuba imbangi yakhe uCarnival isungule inqanawa yayo ebizwa ngokuba yiLiberty. Kakade ke, mhlawumbi kwakuhlawulwa ngokusetyenziswa kwegama leCarnival elithi Legend kwinqanawa entsha ngo-2002, iminyaka esixhenxe emva kokufika kweRoyal Caribbean's Legend of the Seas.
Ngapha koko, iCarnival isiba ngumatshini wokukopa ngokulandelelana. Ngeli hlobo, umgca uza kuphehlelela ubuqaqawuli beCarnival, ubuchaza ubuqaqawuli beeLwandle zaseRoyal Caribbean. Iinqanawa ezilandelayo zeCarnival ziya kuthi ziqhelekile: Iphupha leCarnival kunye namaCarnival Magic amagama asele esetyenziswa yiNorway neDisney.
"Mfana, ingaba iyabhidisa," utshilo uSpencer Brown, ephawula amanye amagama asetyenziswa kwimigca emininzi, enje ngeDawn, Jewel, Mariner, Navigator, Freedom, Crown and Pride.
Umbhali-mbali wenqanawa uPeter Knego we-maritimematters.com utyhola imikhankaso yokuthengisa into ayithethayo lixesha lobundlongondlongo kumagama enqanawa. Imigca enje ngeCarnival kunye neNorway ngoku zigxininisa igama labo lophawu kwizihloko zenqanawa, zidityaniswe nelona gama liqhelekileyo, amagama angenabungozi anje ngePhupha okanye iDawn, utsho.
"Le (yindlela) enomdla kakhulu wokwahlula (a) iinqanawa kunendlela yakudala yokuthumela," utshilo uKnego.
Ewe ixesha lokuhamba kweenqanawa ngegolide, isiqingatha sokuqala senkulungwane yama-20, yayilixesha elinemibala - ukuba ngamanye amaxesha ngamagama - amagama, utshilo. I-White Star Line edumileyo yayihlala igqibezela amagama eenqanawa ngo "ic," - njengakwiTitanic nakwiOlimpiki. I-Rival Cunard ibambelele kumagama aphela ngo "ia," anje ngeAquitania, Britannia naseFranconia.
UDouglas Ward, umbhali weBerlitz Complete Guide to Cruising & Cruise Ships, ekwagxeka amagama eenqanawa zanamhlanje, uthi imigca yakudala yayiyeyabantu kwaye iqhutywa ngabantu ababethumela ubomi babo bonke ababenomdla wesiko kwaye bahlala bejonga elwandle ngamagama. . Namhlanje, uthi, "imigca emininzi yimibutho emikhulu engenabantu." Kubizwa ngegama lekomiti yentengiso.
Ke yintoni eyenzela igama elihle leenqanawa?
Kwabaqalayo, kufuneka kube lula ukukhumbula, utshilo uWadi. I-Disney Magic yeyona nto ibalulekileyo malunga noku, utshilo. Kwaye uCunard ubethe igolide kunye nookumkanikazi abathathu: uKumkanikazi uElizabeth 2, uKumkanikazi uMary 2 kunye noKumkanikazi uVictoria.
Kodwa uWadi uthi awona magama alungileyo ahambelana ngokufanelekileyo namagama ezinye iinqanawa kwizithuthi. I-Celebrity Solstice, esungulwa ngoDisemba, ihambelana nomxholo wesibhakabhaka weGlass yoLuntu, iConstellation neMercury. I-MSC Cruises iphumelele i-kudos yamagama anezinto zomculo ezinje ngeLirica, Melody, Musica, Opera, Orchestra kunye neSinfonia.
UWadi uthi ukubiza inqanawe kunzima kunokuba kubonakala. "Amagama anokusebenza kolunye ulwimi awanakusebenza kolunye," utshilo. Kwaye amanye amagama eenqanawa, anjengeNational Geographic Endeavor, made kakhulu, utshilo. Amanye amagama enqanawa awahambelani nomfanekiso. Ubuncinci boLwandlekazi, umzekelo, kukude nobungangamsha.
Kwaye ke kukho umbandela obuthathaka wokubuyisa amagama adlulileyo. "Amagama okubuya abakhohlisile ngenxa yeendlela ezidlulileyo," utshilo uWard. Amagama anjengeBismarck, enxulunyaniswa neJamani yamaNazi, ngumhlaba onezigcayiseli. I-Ditto yeTitanic, ngenxa yezizathu ezicacileyo.
NjengoKnego, iWadi incoma iHolland America ngokubambelela kwisithethe “sedama” (ukumiliselwa kwakutsha nje kubandakanya iZuiderdam neOosterdam). Isithethi sase Holland America u-Erik Elvejord uthi ngokwembali, umgca oneminyaka eli-135 ubudala wawusebenzisa isimamva esithi “idama” kwiinqanawa zabakhweli kunye nesimamva esithi "dijk" okanye "dyk" kwiinqanawa zemithwalo. Inxalenye yokuqala yamagama omgca ngokwesiko ivela kwimilambo, kwiidolophu nakwezinye iindawo zaseHolland, utshilo.
I-Holland America, njengeCunard, yaziwa ngokurisayikilisha amagama eenqanawa zembali. Umgca uyalithanda igama likaRotterdam, athe walinika iinqanawa ngo-1882, 1886, 1897, 1908, 1959 nango-1996 (uguqulelo oluhamba ngenqanawa namhlanje).
Amagama amabi kwimbali yenqanawa yokuhamba ngenqanawa? Iinqanawa ekuthiwa zii-R eziqaliswe ziiRenaissance Cruises ezingasasebenziyo, utshilo uMike Driscoll, umhleli wencwadana yeendaba yecandelo leCruise Week. Iinqanawa zabizwa iR1, R2, R3 njalo njalo - isibhozo xa zizonke. Umgca usongwe emva kweminyaka nje elishumi elinambini.
"Bekuvakala ngathi yinto ethile emgceni wendibano," utshilo uDriscoll "Kodwa ngethamsanqa, loo magama sele ethathe umhlala phantsi."
