Umdlalo wokuhlala uqhushululu kudala uyinto egcina ishishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa liqhuba. Kwaye nangamaxesha okudodobala koqoqosho kwihlabathi liphela, iinqanawa ezintsha zehlabathi ezimiselwe ukundululwa ngo-2009 ziyakhuphisana ngamaxabiso kunye nezinto eziluncedo kunanini na ngaphambili.
Ngokuqinisekileyo, oomatshini bokukhwela amaza, iipaki zamanzi kunye neeklasi zokuvuthela iiglasi ziqhubela phambili umxholo wokuzonwabisa webhodi okhula ngakumbi kunyaka ngamnye odlulayo. Ukuhambelana nokuwohloka kokuhamba ngenqanawa, iRoyal Caribbean's Oasis entsha yeeLwandle iya kuthi ikhuphe umgca we-zip wokuqala wehlabathi kunye nechibi elinzulu elidadayo, iAquaTheater (eya kusetyenziselwa imiboniso ephezulu yokuntywila).
Kodwa apho ezona nqanawa zintsha zingcono zika-2009 zenza olona phawu lubalaseleyo bubukhulu obupheleleyo.
Iinqanawa ezintlanu kwezili-10 kuluhlu lwethu kulo nyaka zezona zikhephe zikhulu kwiiklasi zazo. Nkqu neenqanawa zasemlanjeni, eziqhele ukuthobela izithintelo zobukhulu, ziyawukhaba umlinganiselo wobungakanani. Xa iViking Legend ifika ngo-Epreli, iya kubonelela ngezona ndawo zinkulu zaseYurophu zokuhamba ngenqanawa kubakhweli abajonga iindawo ezinjengeSlovakia neNetherlands.
Sekunjalo, ezona ndaba zinkulu kukukhululwa kwekwindla kade kwe-Oasis yoLwandle. Inegumbi labakhweli abangama-5,400, esi sikali-buster (iitoni ezingama-220,000) iya kuba yeyona nqanawa inkulu emhlabeni ngokudubula okude. Ebhodini, inqanawe yaphuka yaba 'ziingingqi' ezisixhenxe ukwenza inqanawa ibe lula kancinci.
"Le nqanawa izakuba yinto emangalisayo," utshilo uSteven Hattem, uSekela Mongameli weNtengiso ye-CruiseOne kunye neCruises Inc. ezona hotele zintle eLas Vegas okanye eNew York.”
I-Oasis yeendawo eziphakamileyo zoLwandle zezona ndawo ziphakamileyo ezinemigangatho emininzi edadayo-kwaye zezona ndawo zinde kakhulu elwandle. Iindawo eziphakamileyo ezingama-28 zale mihla ezinemigangatho emibini, zixhotyiswe ngobugcisa bale mihla kunye nazo zonke izinto eziluncedo onokucinga ngazo, zineefestile ezisuka emgangathweni ukuya eluphahleni ezenza iimbono ezingazange zibonwe ngaphambili. Oko kuthethiweyo, indlela yenqanawa iya kuba ne-staid ngokufanelekileyo: Isekelwe e-Fort Lauderdale, eFla., I-Oasis yoLwandle 'iya kubambelela kwiinqanawa eziqhelekileyo zeCaribbean.
IiYachts zaseSeabourn ziya kutyhila ukongezwa kwamva nje kwiinqanawa zayo phakathi kuJuni - i-250 yezigidi zeedola zeSeabourn Odyssey. Ukuphehlelelwa kuphawula ukwaziswa kokuqala kolwakhiwo olutsha kwimakethi yokukhenketha yodidi oluphezulu kwiminyaka emithandathu. I-Odyssey iya kuba yeyona inkulu kwinqanawa, phantse kathathu ubukhulu bayo nayiphi na enye inqanawa yaseSeabourn.
Lonke elo gumbi lingaphezulu, nangona kunjalo, lihlala kuphela abakhweli abaphindwe kabini, kugxininiswa kumagumbi amakhulu kunye nokwanda kwezinto eziluncedo. I-Odyssey iya kuqhayisa ngeyona ndawo inkulu ye-spa kule nqanawa, izaliswe zii-villas zabucala kunye neendawo zazo zokutshisa ilanga.
Kodwa imigca yodidi oluphezulu iye yacotha ukwandisa amanani abo.
"Ngaphandle kokukhula okumangalisayo kweshishini lokuhamba ngenqanawa kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo, iimveliso zodidi oluphezulu - iSeabourn, iSilversea, iRegent, iCrystal - azikhulanga kwaphela," utshilo uTom Coiro, umseki weDirect Line Cruises.
Mhlawumbi okothusayo kukuba, uCoiro uthi ukuma kwemarike yobunewunewu akunanto yakwenza noqoqosho.
"Kungenxa yokuba ezinye zeebrendi ezingezizo ezobunewunewu - iibrendi zeprimiyamu - zithathe indawo ebalulekileyo yentengiso yobunewunewu ngombono wenqanawa ngaphakathi kwenqanawa," utshilo uCoiro.
Oko kuthethiweyo, iSilversea Cruises izakuqala ukwakha entsha ukusukela ngo-2001 kamva kulo nyaka. Umoya weSilivere uzisa ezona staterooms zikhulu kwinqanawa, kunye nendawo yokutyela entsha yaseAsia kunye neklabhu yesidlo sangokuhlwa. Ikwalungele ukuphehlelelwa kuka-2009 yi-Celebrity Cruise's Equinox, inqanawa engudade eya kwi-Solstice enconyiweyo, eyaqala ukuphela ngo-2008.
"Ii-penthouse suites (kwi-Equinox) zinegumbi lokutyela elahlukileyo kunye negumbi lokuhlala elinepiyano enkulu yosana, ii-walk-in closets, isandi esijikelezileyo, utshilo uCoiro. "Kukho iiveranda zangasese ezine-whirlpools kula ma-suites, kwii-400-square-feet, ezinkulu kune-stateroom eqhelekileyo kwindawo ebizwa ngokuba yi-luxury ships," utsho. “Sithetha ngendlu eselwandle.”
