Inā ʻoe e manaʻolana ana i kahi makahiki hou o ka holo ʻana i ka lepo, he lono kaʻu iā ʻoe: Ua holo kēlā moku.
Ma hope o ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ke kaʻe ʻana, ua hāpai ʻia nā laina holo moku e ka piʻi ʻana o nā puke. A ke lawe mai nei i nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe.
I ka mahina i hala aku nei, ua hoʻolaha nā mea nunui ʻoihana Carnival Cruise Lines a me Norwegian Cruise Line i ka piʻi ʻana o ka uku.
Akā, mai lele moku i kēia manawa. Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa nā moku holo moku.
"ʻO ka makahiki i hala ka makahiki o ka ʻaihue," wahi a Carolyn Spencer Brown, ka luna hoʻoponopono o Cruise Critic, kahi pūnaewele mea kūʻai aku. “Aneane lākou e uku iā ʻoe e kau ma luna o kahi moku holo moku. I kēia makahiki, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa nā kuʻikahi. Akā pono ʻoe e ʻimi iā lākou. "
Me kēlā manaʻo, eia nā ala ʻelima e ʻoki ai i kāu peʻa kālā ma 2010:
• Hoʻonohonoho hou iā ʻoe iho. I ka pūnāwai, hoʻololi pinepine nā laina holo moku mai ka Caribbean a i ke Kaiwaenahonua a i ʻole Alaska no ke kauwela, a laila hoʻi i ka hāʻule. ʻO ka nui o kēia mau huakaʻi hoʻonohonoho hou, e lōʻihi ana i nā lā moana a pōkole i nā kelepona awa, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o $50 i ka lā.
"Inā makemake ʻoe i ke ola moku, ua hoʻomaha loa lākou," wahi a Mike Driscoll, ka mea hoʻoponopono o Cruise Week, kahi nūhou ʻoihana i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Brookfield, Ill. lehulehu.
• Lawe i ka hopena pule lōʻihi. Hiki ke kūʻai ʻole ʻia nā huakaʻi holo pōkole mai ka holo ʻana i nā awa. Hoʻokahi kumu: ʻAʻole hiki i ka piʻi ʻana o ka hoʻihoʻi kālā ʻana i nā moku āpau.
"E ʻike ana ʻoe i nā kumukūʻai maikaʻi no nā moku holo moku ʻekolu, ʻehā, ʻelima mau lā no ka mea no kēlā māhele o ka heluna kanaka - ka mea huakaʻi kālā maʻamau - ʻaʻole i hoʻomaikaʻi ko lākou kūlana waiwai i ka makahiki i hala," wahi a Driscoll. "Inā he hana kā lākou, hopohopo ka nui o lākou. Inā ʻaʻohe o lākou hana, ʻaʻole lākou e hoʻomaha.”
A inā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kiʻi i ka huakaʻi āu e makemake ai mai Miami a i ʻole Fort Lauderdale, e nānā iā Tampa, Port Canaveral a i ʻole Jacksonville, aia nō hoʻi nā huakaʻi huakaʻi i Mexico, nā Bahamas a me ka Caribbean.
• Noho e like me ka pōā. I ka loaʻa ʻana o kā lākou hoʻopukapuka kālā mai nā poho o ka makahiki 2008, ke hoʻolilo hou nei ka poʻe waiwai, wahi a Mimi Weisband, ka waha ʻōlelo no Crystal Cruises, kahi e holo mau ai nā kumukūʻai ma kahi o $500 i kēlā me kēia lā.
"I ka makahiki i hala, ua maʻi nā kānaka," wahi a Weisband. "I kēia manawa ʻaʻole nui ka kānalua." ʻO ka hopena, ua kūʻai mua ʻia kekahi mau holo moku, ʻoi aku hoʻi ma ʻEulopa.
Akā ʻo Crystal, e like me nā laina waiwai nui, ke hāʻawi mau nei i nā mea hoʻoikaika nui, e like me ke kaʻa mokulele manuahi, nā uku ʻelua-no-hoʻokahi a me nā hōʻaiʻē hoʻolimalima ma luna o ka moku.
Pēlā nō, hāʻawi ʻo Silversea i nā mokulele manuahi a me nā hoʻoili a hiki i ka 60 pakeneka o nā kumukūʻai brochure ma kekahi mau moku Karipiano; Loaʻa iā Seabourn nā kumukūʻai holo moku ʻelua a hoʻemi ʻia; a ʻo Regent Seven Seas e hāʻawi i nā huakaʻi mokulele manuahi a me nā huakaʻi kahakai.
No laila hiki ke maʻalahi ka luxe.
• Poʻo no Mekiko. Me nā kumukūʻai hou he $429 no nā lā ʻehiku, holo kaʻapuni mai Kaleponi Hema, ʻo ka Mexican Riviera (Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta) he paʻakikī ke lanakila no ka mālama kālā, ʻoiai inā hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ke kūʻai aku ʻana i nā mokulele. e hoʻokomo i nā kumukūʻai huakaʻi hele i Los Angeles ma kahi o $240. Ua kuʻi ʻia nā kumukūʻai e ka nāwaliwali nāwaliwali o Kaleponi, nā kaua lāʻau lapaʻau o Mexico a me ke komo ʻana o nā moku nui i ka mākeke, wahi a ka poʻe loea.
ʻO ka ʻokoʻa, ʻo Alaska, ke Kaiwaenahonua a me nā Baltics ke kaulana loa, ʻoi aku hoʻi me nā huakaʻi waiwai, no laila e ʻike ʻoe i nā mea liʻiliʻi ma laila.
• Kakau mua - a i ʻole lohi. ʻO ke koi nui aʻe ʻo ia ka nalo ʻana o nā hale kaʻa i nā holo lawaiʻa kaulana. Ma Crystal, kahi i holo ai kekahi mau moku he 60 pakeneka a i ʻole 70 pakeneka piha i ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ua ʻoi aku ka nui o ka haʻalele ʻana ma ʻEulopa ma mua o 90 pakeneka, wahi a Weisband. Hoʻopiha piha ʻia ʻo Oceania i kēia kauwela.
No laila, inā ʻoe e hele ana i ʻEulopa a i ʻole Alaska, e puke i kēia manawa; inā i Mekiko, kahi e hoʻokau nei ka noi haʻahaʻa i kekahi mau kūʻai ahi, wahi a Spencer Brown, ʻaʻole ia e wikiwiki.
ʻO ka wikiwiki āu e hoʻopaʻa ai e pili pū me ke koho ʻana.
"Inā koho ʻoe i kāu keʻena, e kākau mua ʻoe," wahi a Spencer Brown. "Inā ʻaʻole, e kākau i ʻelua pule a lawe i nā mea i koe."
Ma kahi ho'ēmi, ʻoiaʻiʻo.
