ʻO kahi makahiki i hala aku nei he mea maikaʻi loa ia no ka ʻoihana holomoana, me ka lūlū ʻana i nā helu o ka poʻe ohua a me kahi hanana o ka hana moku. Akā i kēia manawa ka manawa e nānā i mua i nā mea holo mua no 2008. ʻ Oh, Caribbean, e haʻo nō mākou iā ʻoe, akā manaʻo mākou iā ʻoe i ka wā e hele ana i ka lā Mediterranean.
Ua hoʻomaka ka honua holoholo '08 me ka ikaika ikaika. Wahi a ka US Department of Transportation, he 2.5 miliona mau ohua i holo ma nā huakaʻi he 1,063 o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka hapahā o ka makahiki 2007, ke kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe loa i nā makahiki ʻehā i hala. ʻO kēlā helu he ʻelima wale nō ia o nā holomoku holoʻokoʻa 2007 - 12.6 miliona, no kēlā me kēia koho ʻia e ka Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), ʻo ia ka mea hōʻike i nā laina holoholo nui. I mea e hoʻokipa ai i kēia poʻe huakaʻi, he ʻumikūmālua mau moku hou i kū i ke kai maikaʻi.
No kēia makahiki, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻoihana e mālama pono i kāna mau hāmare. Kuhi ʻo CLIA i nā helu o ka poʻe ohua e ulu ma 1.6 pakeneka, i 12.8 miliona.
"Ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa, ke hiki aku nei ka ʻoihana hoʻokele i nā poʻe i holoholo ʻole ma mua," i ʻōlelo ʻo Carolyn Spencer Brown, ka luna hoʻoponopono o Cruise Critic, nāna e hoʻopuka nei i kahi makasina holoholo pūnaewele (www.cruisecritic.com). "E ulu maoli ana ka holoholo holoholo ʻana."
No laila he aha ka mea e manaʻo ai ka Cruising Class o 2008? Eia kekahi mau hanana e hiki mai ana.

Ke ʻā mai nei paha nā huakaʻi lewa mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ma ʻEulopa, akā ʻo ka poʻe e hōʻea ana ma ke kai ke hoʻomākaukau wale nei no ka ʻAinapuniʻole. "Wela loa ʻo ʻEulopa i kēia makahiki," wahi a Paul Motter, ka mea hoʻoponopono o CruiseMates, kahi alakaʻi holoholo pūnaewele (www.cruisemates.com). "ʻO ka mamao o ke kuʻi o ke dālā, lilo ka mea i makemake nui ʻia (ʻike iā ʻEulopa e ka holoholo." ʻO ke kikoʻī, ʻo nā alahele wela nui loa ma ke Kaiwaenahonua a me Baletika.
ʻO kekahi o nā kumu nui loa e holo ai i ʻEulopa ka hoʻonohonoho hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ka ʻoihana, i ʻae ai i nā ʻAmelika e uku i nā kālā a no laila e hōʻalo i ka uku hoʻololi kālā nawaliwali. ʻAʻole like me nā huakaʻi helehelehele i ʻike i ka ʻeha i kēlā me kēia manawa a lākou e uku ai no kahi pāʻina, hōkele a i ʻole ke kaʻa ʻana, uku nā mea hoʻokele i hoʻokahi puʻupuʻu e uhi ana i kā lākou mau lilo nui.
"He loli kēia o kēia wā ma ka Pōʻalua kēia, pono mākou i Pelekiuma," wahi a Spencer Brown. “He ala maikaʻi loa ia e laʻana iā ʻEulopa. Hoʻokomo ʻekahi ʻoe a hiamoe ma ka moena like. ”
ʻOiai, i ka ulu ʻana o ke kaulana o ʻEulopa, pēlā nō nā kumukūʻai holo moana. Hiki ke kiʻekiʻe i nā kumukūʻai, a kūʻai wikiwiki aku nā hale kaʻa. Kuhi ka poʻe loea i ka hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻana i ʻeono a i ʻeiwa mahina. E mālama kālā, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Motter e holo i Mei a i Kepakemapa paha. "E like me ka piha o ka moku, lilo ia i mea pipiʻi," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. “E nānā i kahi moku i piha ʻole a maʻalahi hoʻi me nā lā. Ma ka Baletika a me ke Kaiwaenahonua, ʻo ke alahele like e hiki ke 30 a 40 paha ka pākēneka e emi ai a i ʻole ka hopena o ke kau. ”
ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, nui nā laina e kū nei i ka noi e ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka lako. Ke hoʻouna nei kekahi mau laina i nā moku mai Caribbean a ʻEulopa (e loaʻa i Carnival hoʻokahi moku i kēlā me kēia ma ke Kaiwaenahonua a me ka Baletika, ʻo ia ka manawa mua) a i ʻole ke hoʻokau nei iā lākou ma ʻEulopa a puni ka makahiki, e like me kā Royal Caribbean a me Costa e hana nei.
Ma kēia ʻaoʻao o ka ʻAkelanika, ʻaʻole pono i ka Caribbean, akā e ʻimi nei nā mea huakaʻi i nā mokupuni me ka liʻiliʻi o nā hui a me nā ʻano like ʻole.
Hāʻawi ʻo Spencer Brown i kahi laʻana ʻo St. Maarten, hiki ke hoʻokipa ʻia i ʻeono mau moku kūloko he ʻeono 3,000 i kahi lā kūlana kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe.
"Ua huikau loa ka Caribbean komohana, a ua luhi nā holoholo holoholo i ka hele ʻana i nā wahi kahiko," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. “Piha nā kahakai. Makemake ka poʻe i kahi loli. ”
No kekahi mea ʻokoʻa iki, kuhikuhi ka poʻe loea i nā wahi like o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e like me Belize a me Panama. ʻIke pū ʻo Motter iā ʻAmelika Hema ma ka pae: "He holo lōʻihi ʻo ʻAmelika Hema a pono ʻoe e lele ma laila, akā ʻo ke kumukūʻai like nā kumukūʻai a i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ʻEulopa - a ʻoi aku ka nui o kāu kālā."
Nā hana hou o ka moku
I loko o ka makahiki, e hōʻike ana ka ʻoihana i ka make o nā moku hou, e like me ka 3,006-pasahero ʻo Carnival Splendor (Iulai), a me nā laina holo kai hou. E hoʻolauna ka Jewel River Cruise Line i kāna moku waiwai nui mua, ʻo Jewel Imperial Blue, i nā waikahe ʻEulopa i Mei, ʻo kahi laʻana; a i ʻAukake, e hoʻomaka ʻo Pearl Seas Cruises i kāna huakaʻi moku liʻiliʻi i Caribbean a me Kanada.
Ke kūkulu nei nā laina holo moana i nā papa hou o nā moku, kahi hoʻomohala nui i ʻike ʻole ʻia ma mua o ke anahulu. "Aia he nalu holoʻokoʻa o nā hoʻolālā hou o nā moku e hoʻomaka ana i ka 2008," i ʻōlelo ʻo Motter. Aia ka mea kaulana i mua me kāna mau ʻauwaʻa papa Solstice, e puka mai ana i Kēkēmapa. Ke kuhi nei kekahi mau ʻoihana i ka huakaʻi i loko o ka hoʻolālā, e like me Costa a me nā loko wai aniani (no laila hiki i nā mea holoholo ma ʻEulopa ke ʻauʻau "ma waho" i nā mahina anuanu).
Ma kahi pālākiō liʻiliʻi, i ka hoʻowalewale ʻana i nā ohua ʻōpio, ke hoʻokomo nei nā laina nui i kekahi hipness i kā lākou mau moku. Lana ko lākou manaʻo e kiʻi i nā ʻohana a me ka under-50 i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e ka hoʻohui ʻana a hoʻolaha ʻana paha i nā pono o ka poʻe ʻōpio e like me nā kinipōpō (Crystal Symphony), nā wahi heʻe nalu (Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas, Liberty of the Seas and, debuting in may, Independence o nā kai), nā ala kīʻaha (Nūhou Norewai ʻo Nīkini Mīkini), nā trampoline bungee (P&O Cruises 'Ventura) a me nā pā (Cunard's Queen Victoria). "He ikehu hou kēia," wahi a Spencer Brown. "ʻO ka ʻōpio a me ka hana kahi e holo ai ka ʻoihana."
Ua hōʻike hou ʻia kahi hōʻike ʻano CLIA i ka pule i hala aku nei e wehewehe hou ana i ka neʻe: "ʻO nā ʻohana a me nā huakaʻi he nui ka nui o ka ulu ulu no ka ʻoihana holoholo, a ukali ʻia e nā pēpē pēpē (makahiki 43-62) ʻelemākule a mau kāne paha. ʻO nā mea hana hou a me nā holoholo manawa mua he ʻāʻī a me ka ʻāʻī i nā helu ulu. "
Ke hoʻololi nei nā laina holo moana i kā lākou koho ʻai e lawelawe ai i ka legeona ulu o nā meaʻai hoʻomaha. ʻOiai e mau nei nā lumiʻaina a me nā noho i hoʻonohonoho ʻia, ke hana nei nā moku i nā mea ʻē aʻe e like me nā hale ʻaina kaulana a kaulana (e laʻa me Wolfgang Puck's Jade Garden ma Crystal Symphony, ʻo Charlie Palmer's Tastings (ma) 2 ma Seabourn) a me nā menus pakahi.
ʻO ka lalo o kēia mau keu he bila nui aʻe; ʻO ka ʻaina ʻaina ʻo Carnival's Supper Club, no $ hoʻokahi. "Ke piʻi nui aʻe nei nā moku, nui aʻe nā mea i hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻolilo kālā," i ʻōlelo ʻo Spencer Brown. "Aia ma laila nā manawa kūpono e māmā ai kāu pēke." Ma waena o nā splurges: wai ʻona (ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o nā moku e pili ana i nā cockta contraband), nā kaʻina hana keʻokeʻo niho, nā akupunkure a me nā papa mokomoko. A ʻaʻohe mea e hoʻokuʻu ʻia mai ka uku wahie i hōʻino nui ʻia, hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma kahi o $ 30 i ka lā.
ʻO ka moʻomeheu holoholo
Ma muli o ka ikaika o ka euro a me nā kālā ʻē ʻē aʻe, ke kīkē ʻia nei ka poʻe ʻAmelika mai ko lākou noho aliʻi noho aliʻi. ʻO Kelemania, Palani, Pelekania, ʻAukekulia, Kepanī a me nā huakaʻi huakaʻi ʻē aʻe e hele mai ana i luna o ka moku, ʻaʻole ma loko wale nō o kā lākou wai kua.
E lele ana nā mea holo moana ʻē ma nā moana āpau e holo ai i Alaska a i ʻole ka Caribbean, nā mākeke e hoʻomalu ʻia e nā ʻAmelika. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ke piʻi nei nā Lūkini i ka papa kiʻekiʻe.
