皇家加勒比號遊輪兩週後正式起航

Marks exactly two weeks until one of the hottest new cruise ships of the year, Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas, begins sailing year-round out of the New York area -- a deployment that has had the line's fans in the Northeast buzzing for months.

標誌着本年度最受追捧的遊輪之一—皇家加勒比,兩週後將要從紐約海岸開始它的全年航行，成羣的船迷已經在海岸西北部躁動了數月。

Unveiled in April, Royal Caribbean's latest mega-resort at sea has spent its first few months cruising around Europe, but Royal Caribbean has been saying for more than a year that it eventually would make its permanent home at the New York area's Cape Liberty Cruise Port, located seven miles south of Manhattan in Bayonne, N.J. The ship will sail five- to 12-night voyages to Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Caribbean and New England.

四月時，皇家加勒比曾花了幾個月的時間在歐洲周遊，但是它一直聲稱最終會在紐約自由角遊輪港口安定下來，在曼哈頓以南七英里的巴約納停泊。據悉，遊輪將會用5到12天的時候航行到百慕大羣島，巴哈馬，加勒比地區和新英格蘭。

The 4,180-passenger vessel is a sister to the 11-month-old Quantum of the Seas, which sailed a brief season out of the New York area over the winter only to be redeployed earlier this year to China.

這艘可以搭載4180名乘客的遊輪是已出產11個月的海洋量子號的姊妹號，海洋量子冬天從紐約地區出發，短暫航行了一季度，今年初被調整航行到中國。

As can be seen in the photo tour in the carousel above, Anthem is packed full of such gee-whiz features as a deck-top ride into the sky and a bar with robot bartenders, both concepts that first debuted on Quantum. Other first-for-the-industry features from Quantum making a comeback include a skydiving simulator and a deck-top fun zone called the SeaPlex with bumper cars and roller skating.

就像能在旋轉木馬上看到旅遊照片一樣，Anthem號上全是這類高端的設施。比如甲板上有機器人調酒師的酒吧，這些觀念都是第一次在量子號上引起廣泛熱議的。其他在量子號上第一次面世的包括工業產品還有一款跳傘模擬器。在SeaPlex頂層甲板娛樂區上還有碰碰車和輪滑。

Royal Caribbean executives say the ship is perfect for year-round sailings out of the New York area, as it has a wide variety of indoor fun zones and experiences that will appeal to passengers on off-season sailings when it's not quite bikini weather.

皇家加勒比號的高級管理人員稱，對於全年在紐約地區出航來說，這艘船太完美了，因爲它有各種各樣的室內娛樂區和體驗區，在正常天氣下可以吸引乘客搭乘遊玩。

One of the ship's pools has a glass-covered macrodome that can be closed during inclement weather, and there's also an adult-only Solarium sunning area at the front of the vessel that is enclosed in glass while still offering an outdoor feel.

船上還有一個建有玻璃坡面游泳池，它可以在極端天氣的時候被關閉，在船的前部還有一個成人沐浴區，雖然它是封閉在玻璃裏，但是仍然能讓你覺得在戶外。
