Miyako Island
As a memento of Miyako Island, I took part in the Mont Blanc lunch cruise. After boarding, we enjoyed a lunch buffet for about an hour before departure. The variety of local dishes was abundant, and there was so much to taste that I couldn't try everything. Considering the experience compared to dining at a restaurant, I think it was a great value.
We set sail at 12:30, and there were many observation spots on deck, spacious enough that I didn't feel stressed by the crowds. We passed under the Irabu Bridge and headed towards the shallow coral reefs. The captain skillfully maneuvered the boat close to the coral.
At that moment, which I think lasted about ten minutes, we stopped the boat to observe the fish. After turning off the engine, the fish gathered near the boat. Additionally, at the viewing spot on the bottom of the boat, the staff provided explanations in a fun and humorous manner, which made for a delightful experience.
宮古島の記念に、モンブラン号ランチクルーズに乗船させて頂きました。
乗船後出航までの約1時間先ずは、ランチバイキング。地のものはじめ品数も豊富で、全て味う事が出来ない位、楽しませて頂きました。お店に食べに行った事を考えれば、コスパ良しだと思います。
12時半に出航、デッキ等見学場所も多く、混雑によるストレスを感じない広さ。伊良部大橋をくぐり、浅瀬の珊瑚礁へ向かいます。船長の腕が良く、珊瑚ギリギリまで、船を寄せてくれました。
その時には、十数分だと思いますが、船を停め、お魚見学。エンジンを止めた後には、お魚が船の近くへ集まってきてくれました。また、船底の見学場所では、スタッフの方が、楽しくユーモア含め説明して下さり、ホッコリする事が出来たのしみました。
Since I made an early reservation, I got a window seat at the very front. The departure was timed with the sunset, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely meal and eat to our hearts' content. Once we left the breakwater, the boat started to sway a bit, but cruising along the island's shadow was comfortable. Although we couldn't see the sunset, the service was excellent, including a special passage under the Irabu Bridge. After dropping anchor, the live show began, and all the passengers had a great time dancing together. Compared to the size of the boat, even with a full capacity, the number of passengers was low, so we could enjoy our time comfortably without any crowding in any cabin.
早めの予約だったので、一番前の窓際席でした。
サンセットに合わせての出港だったので、ゆっくり食事ができ、
お腹いっぱい食べることができました。
防波堤を出ると、少し揺れてきましたが、島影を航行して快適なクルージングでした。
サンセットは見られませんでしたが、伊良部大橋の下を特別にくぐってもらうなど、サービス満点でした。
錨を下してからライブショウが始まり、乗客みんなで楽しく踊りました。
船の大きさに比べて、満席でも乗客数が少ないので、船内どこのキャビンでも
混雑することなく、快適に過ごせました。
I participated in a lunch cruise, and although it was unfortunately rainy and we couldn't go outside, I was able to enjoy delicious food and admire the beautiful waters of Miyako from the bottom of the boat, so I still had a great time despite the rain.
Also, it was a coincidence, but after finishing my meal and gazing out at the scenery, a wild dolphin suddenly jumped right in front of me, which was a surprise and turned out to be a wonderful memory!
ランチクルーズで参加したんですが
生憎の雨模様で外には出られなかったものの
美味しい食事と船底からキレイな宮古の海を眺められたので雨でも楽しめました。
あと今回たまたまだったけれど
食事終わってぼーっと外眺めてたらいきなり野生のイルカが目の前跳びはねてきてびっくりした、とても良い思い出になった!
We boarded the ship right at 11:30 when the reception started and enjoyed a lunch buffet. After departing at 12:30, we arrived at the coral reef area near Irabu Island in about 30 minutes, where we could see many tropical fish from the deck beneath the ship. After that, we leisurely headed towards the Irabu Bridge, enjoying the scenery as we passed under the bridge. (You can see three bridges from the ship: Ikema Bridge, Irabu Bridge, and Kurima Bridge.) This tour, which includes a 1.5-hour cruise with the lunch buffet, is highly recommended!
11時半の受付開始と同時に乗船し、ランチブッフェを堪能。
12時半に出航後、30分ほどで伊良部島近くの珊瑚礁エリアに到着し、乗船したまま船底のデッキから多くの熱帯魚を見ることができました。
その後、ゆっくりと伊良部大橋に向かい、大橋をくぐるなど景観を存分に楽しめました。(池間大橋、伊良部大橋、来島大橋の3つを船上から見られます)
ランチブッフェに1.5時間のクルーズが付いて、大変お勧めのツアーです!
We participated with low expectations as a family, but the food was delicious, we saw tropical fish at the shallow spot, and the sunset was beautiful, allowing us to enjoy the cruise atmosphere. On top of that, we got to listen to live performances of island songs at the end, providing great value for the price and leaving us very satisfied!
あまり期待せずに家族で参加しましたが、食事も美味しく、浅瀬スポットでは熱帯魚も見れて、夕陽も綺麗でクルーズ気分を楽しめました。その上に、最後に生演奏で島唄も聞けて、お値段以上のバリューで大満足です!
Unfortunately, the weather was not great, so we couldn't see the sunset, but the dinner was quite delicious. The head chef played the sanshin and sang, while other waiters played the piano, and the waitresses danced to Okinawan folk songs, each taking on two roles! Everyone was skilled, and it was truly heartwarming. The two and a half hours flew by, and we created wonderful memories during that enjoyable time. I highly recommend it!
あいにくのお天気で、サンセットは見れませんでしたが、ディナーも、それなりに美味しかったです。料理長さんが三線と唄、他のウェイターさんがピアノ演奏者に、ウェイトレスさんが沖縄民謡を踊るなど、1人2役に!
どなたも上手で心癒されるものでした。
2時間半の時間もあっという間で、
楽しい時間と素敵な思い出ができました。
オススメです!
I signed up because I wanted to enjoy delicious food and relax on a cruise. The meals included a variety of options, such as dishes utilizing ingredients from Miyako Island and typical buffet items found in hotels. Both the taste and temperature were perfect, and everything was delicious.
The customer service was attentive, which left a strong impression on me. I felt that when the staff members smiled, it enhanced the overall atmosphere. I was able to refresh myself while gazing at the beautiful sea, thinking that I would like to emulate that.
The cruise and meals were as I had imagined, but the live performance was incredibly enjoyable. I believe that was also thanks to the staff. I had a wonderful time.
美味しいものを食べてのんびりとクルーズを楽しみたかったので申し込みました。
食事に関しては、宮古島の食材を活かしたメニューやホテルのブッフェによくあるメニューなど、様々です。味も温度も申し分なく、美味しかったです。
接客やサービスが行き届いていて、それが印象深かったです。スタッフの方々が笑顔だと、それだけで全体の雰囲気がよくなることを感じました。見習いたいなぁと綺麗な海を眺めながらリフレッシュできました。
クルーズや食事は想像通りの内容でしたが、ライブがとても楽しかったです。それもスタッフさんのお力だと思います。素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。
Above all, I was delighted by the smiles and warm greetings from all the staff. The piano performances and singing were also enjoyable. We were able to see the fish swimming in the ocean, which made the children very happy. The food was fresh and hot, and the desserts were plentiful. It was truly a cruise that made me want to come back again. Thank you very much.
なんといってもスタッフ皆さんの笑顔と気持ちのよいあいさつ、声掛けが嬉しかったです。ピアノの演奏や歌などの演出も楽しかったです。海の中の魚が泳ぐ様子を見ることができ、子供達も大喜び。料理も新鮮、熱々、デザートも充実で、本当にまた来たいと思えるクルーズでした。ありがとうございました。
We were blessed with beautiful weather, and under the sunset sky, we passed under the Irabu Ohashi bridge on a stylish boat. The buffet was delicious, and for 2000 yen, we had unlimited drinks! On the lower level, we could see many fish in the sea. From the deck on the top floor, we enjoyed the sunset, and at the end, there was a concert of Okinawan songs accompanied by sanshin and piano! We danced in a circle together! It was packed with activities, one after another... Ah, it was so much fun!
お天気に恵まれて、夕焼け空の中、オシャレな船で伊良部大橋の下をくぐり抜け、ブッフェは美味しく、別料理でしたが2000円でドリンク飲み放題!地階では海中の沢山のお魚が見えました。最上階のデッキからはサンセットを眺め、最後は三線とピアノの伴奏で沖縄の唄のコンサート!決まりは踊りで、皆で輪になって踊りました!盛りだくさんで次から次へと…。ああ、楽しかった!
Unfortunately, it rained on the day of our visit, so we couldn't see the sunset or the stars, but thanks to the hospitality of the staff, we had a very enjoyable time. The buffet was delicious, and during the live performance, everyone sang and danced together, fully experiencing the charm of Okinawa. I would like to go again, so I hope to see you then!
当日はあいにくの雨で夕日も星も見る事が出来ませんでしたが、スタッフの方々のおもてなしのお陰で、大変楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
ビュッフェも美味しく、また、ライブの時はみんなで歌って踊って、沖縄の魅力を存分に感じました。
また行きたいと思いますので、その時はよろしくお願いします!
The meal was served buffet style and it was delicious. I thought I would get bored during the 2.5 hours of dining and cruising, but the bottom of the boat was an underwater observatory where we could watch tropical fish in shallow waters. After that, there was a live performance by the staff, with the head chef, who was making sushi, as the vocalist, and a handsome guide playing the piano. The lady serving drinks transformed into a dancer (which is her real profession?). In the end, everyone, young and old, came together to dance and it was a lively atmosphere.
食事はビュッフェスタイルで、おいしかったです。2時30分間、食事とクルーズでは飽きてしまうと思っていましたが、船の底が水中展望室になっており浅瀬での熱帯魚観察、そのあと従業員によるライブ演奏があり、すしを握っていた料理長さんがボーカル、案内係されていたイケメンさんがピアノ演奏、飲み物をサービスされていたお姉さんが踊り子さんと(本職はどっち?)変身し本格的でした。最後は、老若男女一丸となり踊って盛り上がっていました。
You can board the cruise ship Mont Blanc 30 minutes before departure, allowing plenty of time to explore the ship. There are two lounges. Drinks are separate, with alcohol and soft drinks priced at 2000 yen, soft drinks only at 1000 yen, and minors at 500 yen, but you can start drinking before departure. As soon as we set sail, a dinner buffet is available, but shortly after departure, there’s an event where we pass under the Irabu Bridge, which was a bit challenging to schedule for first-timers.
The dinner buffet had a wide variety of delicious options. While we were eating dinner, there was an announcement about a shallow point, and we could see the seabed and fish through the windows below. An hour after departure, the appetizers change to desserts, including fruits, mini cakes, and warabi mochi (some with wine flavor!), as well as sōda andagi, all of which were delicious.
The only downside was that for coffee and tea, only iced coffee was available. Finally, there was a live performance with shamisen and piano by the crew! I was surprised to realize that we had already passed the bridge and were approaching land—it was that enjoyable, and I lost track of time. I think the sunset depends on the weather, but even in bad weather, there are many enjoyable points, so I would like to try the morning or afternoon cruises when I visit again.
客船モンブランには出航の30分前に乗れますので、出航までに十分に船内の散策ができます。ラウンジが2つあります。ドリンクは別ですが、アルコール&ソフトドリンク2000円、ソフトドリンクのみ1000円で未成年は500円ですが、出航前に飲み始められました。出航と同時に夕食ビュッフェが食べられますが、出航して割とすぐに伊良部橋をくぐるイベントがあり、初めてではスケジュールが難しかったです。
夕食ビュッフェは種類も沢山でどれも美味しかったです。
夕飯を食べていると浅瀬ポイントのアナウンスがあり、地下の窓から海底とお魚が見えました。
出航の1時間後に前菜がデザートに変わります。フルーツ、プチケーキ、わらび餅(ワイン味あり!)、サーダーアンダギーなどなど。どれも美味しかったです。
コーヒー紅茶だとアイスコーヒーしかないのでそこだけ少し残念でした。
最後に船員さんによる三味線とピアノの弾き語りライブ!終わると気付いたら橋も超え陸地が近づいていたのには驚きました笑 そのくらい楽しく時間を忘れていました。
サンセットは天気次第だと思いますが、悪天でも楽しむポイントが多いので、まあ来訪する際には朝や昼のクルーズも行ってみたいと思いました。
The weather wasn't very good, but I was able to see fish, and the inside of the boat was very clean. It felt nice to be on the deck with the wind. However, I was disappointed that I missed out on dessert because I played too much after the meal, going to the glass bottom and the deck. It was fun to dance along with the live performance. The staff were very kind, which made me very happy. I was able to relieve my daily stress. If I have the chance, I would like to participate again. Thank you very much.
天気はあまり良くなかったけど、魚も見れたし、船の中もとてもきれいでした。甲板から風にあたり気持ち良かった。でも、食事したあとグラスボードに行ったり甲板に行ったりと遊び過ぎてデザートを食べ損ねてしまったことが残念でした。ライブも一緒に踊ったりして楽しかった。スタッフの皆さんもとても優しく接して頂いたのでとても嬉しかったです。日頃のストレスが発散出来ました。機会があればまた、参加したいです。ありがとうございました。
The Mont Blanc ship was more luxurious than I imagined. The price of 4,000 yen, which includes lunch and unlimited soft drinks, is very reasonable. The early bird discount of 15% is even better.
After passing under the Irabu Bridge, the cruise stops in shallow waters over the coral reef for viewing fish underwater. There is also a splendid lounge on the second floor. It takes about 15 minutes by taxi from the airport to Hirara Port, costing around 1,300 yen. Since there aren't many buses, I think using a taxi is convenient. The ship is a large vessel at 619 tons, so I didn't feel any rocking. Even though it was a weekday, it was fully booked, so I recommend making a reservation early.
モンブランの船は想像以上の豪華船でした。ランチとソフトドリンク飲み放題込みで4000円はとてもお値打ちです。早割り15%はさらにお得です。
クルーズは伊良部大橋をくぐった後、サンゴ礁の浅瀬で停留し水中からお魚を鑑賞します。2Fには立派なラウンジもあります。空港から平良港までタクシーで約15分1300円位です。バスはあまりないので、タクシー利用が便利かと思います。船は619tの大型船なので、揺れも感じませんでした。平日なのに、満席だったので、早めの予約をお勧めします。
I was a bit worried after reading reviews mentioning that drinks were charged separately and that there was no live performance, leaving us with too much free time, but those concerns were blown away by the wonderful hospitality, and I had a great time! (Maybe because it was the off-season?)
First, drinks had to be purchased separately from the tour fee. The all-you-can-drink option, including alcohol, was 2,000 yen. The food was also outstanding.
Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy. We couldn't see the sunset very well, but it was nice to see the Irabu Bridge from below.
About an hour before returning to port, a handsome manager started playing the piano, and the head chef performed vocals and played the sanshin. During "Shimabito nu Takara," I got to join the stage with a guest vocalist and played the drums! It was so much fun♪
It was a very satisfying two and a half hours. Thank you!
飲み物代が別々だとかライブがなく時間を持て余したといった口コミがあり少し心配していましたが、それを吹き飛ばすおもてなしぶりで、たのしかったです!!(オフシーズンだからかな?)
まず飲み物は、チケットをツアー料金とは別に購入。アルコール込みの飲み放題で2,000円でした。料理も抜群。
天気はあいにく曇りでした。夕陽はあまり見えなかったけど、伊良部大橋を下から見ることができたのがよかった。
帰港1時間ほど前から、イケメン店長さんのピアノと、料理長さんのボーカル&三線によるライブが始まりました。「島人ぬ宝」では、飛び入りボーカルのお客さんと共にステージに上がり、ドラム叩かせていただきました!!とてもたのしかったです♪
大満足の2時間半でした。ありがとうございました。
I didn't have high expectations for lunch, but there were many options, and I thoroughly enjoyed the French-inspired dishes. They were very delicious.
We were able to board at 11:30 AM, and the departure was at 12:30 PM. From there, we had a full two hours to enjoy underwater viewing. The sight of sea snakes swimming around left a strong impression on me. There were many small fish, creating a colorful underwater world.
(Note: Lunch started at 11:30 AM.)
ランチ、余り期待してなかったが、種類が多く、フランス料理風な料理を
存分に堪能しました。とても美味しかったです。
11時30分から乗船できて、12じ30分出航でした、そこから2時間
たっぷりと水中観賞ができました。海蛇がニョロニョロ泳いでいたのが、
印象に残りました。小魚が沢山見られて、カラフルナ色の世界でした。
(注、ランチは11時30分からスタートしておりました)
I had a great time, and the food was delicious.
Unfortunately, the sushi ran out quickly, and there were no refills; I wanted to eat more.
The sunset was also hidden by clouds, so I couldn't see it.
The Sanshin live performance was very good.
I got to sing "Hanamizuki."
Thank you for the Orion beer.
楽しかったです 食事も美味しかったし。。。
残念だったのは お寿司が早々になくなってしまってから
追加がなく もっと食べたかったです
サンセットも雲に隠れてしまい見られませんでした
サンシンライブもとても良かったです
♪ハナミズキ 歌わせていただきました
オリオンビ-ルいただきありがとうございました
On November 18th, we had a lunch cruise, and I am grateful to the crew for their detailed explanations. We experienced three joys on one boat: delicious food, the wonderful feeling of passing under the Irabu Bridge, and underwater viewing, which was truly moving.
11/18、ランチクルーズでしたが、乗務員の方々が詳しく説明して頂き感謝です。一隻の船で3つ喜び、美味しい食事、伊良部大橋の下をくぐる最高な気分、水中鑑賞、感動でした。
The ship is very beautiful both inside and out! The staff kindly and carefully assist with boarding and disembarking, which is very reassuring! The cabins are spacious, making it easy to pass by others, and it's very comfortable! Since the ship is large, you hardly feel any rocking from the waves. The underwater observation room at the bottom of the ship is also spacious and easy to walk around in. The stairs are particularly wide, allowing people to pass each other safely and comfortably.
On the day of the tour, the water was murky with short visibility, but thanks to the captain's excellent navigation, we were able to get close to the coral reef, allowing us to observe a lot of fish! I was more impressed by the ship's maneuvering skills than seeing the fish!!! The food is of a quality comparable to a hotel lunch buffet, so I was satisfied! However, I would advise against those who want to come hungry and fill up on this tour. I hope only those who want to enjoy the scenery and sea breeze while having a light meal will participate. I absolutely recommend this for those who do not scuba dive or snorkel!
船は内外装共に、とても綺麗!
乗り降りも、スタッフの方が親切&丁寧にサポートしてくださり、とても安心!
キャビン内もゆったりした作りのため、人のすれ違いも楽でとても快適!
船が大きいので、波による揺れもほとんど感じない。
船底の水中観察ルームも広く歩きやすい。特に階段の幅が広く、人のすれ違いも出来きるほどなので、安全&快適に昇降できる。
当日は水が濁って視程が短かったが、キャプテンの抜群の操縦で珊瑚礁のギリギリまで船を寄せてくれたので、かなり多くの魚が観察できた!
魚が見れたことより、船の操縦技術に感動!!!
料理もホテルのランチビュッフェと大差ないクオリティなので満足!
ただ、お腹を減らして当ツアーで満腹にしようという人はご遠慮頂きたい。
軽い食事をしながら景色や海風を優雅に満喫したい人のみ参加して欲しい。
スキューバやシュノーケリングをしない、出来ない人には、絶対お勧め!
I signed up to ride the famous Mont Blanc ship in Miyako Island, and I’m glad I did. The interior of the ship was more luxurious than I expected. The chairs and tables in the dining area were sturdy. There was a piano performance, and it was very elegant to gaze at the sea and sunset through the large windows.
The food included some Okinawan cuisine, as well as pizza, bread, and stuffed cabbage. There was also sashimi, including red fish, white fish, octopus, and scallops, all of which were delicious.
宮古島で有名なモンブランという船、せっかくだから乗ってみようと申込みました。
船の中は思っていたよりも豪華でした。食事会場の椅子や机もしっかりとしていました。ピアノの演奏があって、大きな窓から海と夕日を眺めてとても優雅でした。
ご飯は沖縄料理が少し、ピザやパン、ロールキャベツなどもありました。お刺身もあり、赤身の魚、白身魚、タコ、ホタテがあり、美味しかったです。
The sunset sinking on the horizon was truly beautiful. On the day we participated, there were quite a few clouds, but we were still able to enjoy the sun peeking through the gaps in the clouds, showcasing various scenes of the sun and clouds. The staff in charge of the buffet were also very courteous, and when I mentioned that a menu item was out of stock, they responded with a smile and addressed it immediately. It was a very pleasant moment.
水平線上の沈む夕日は本当に綺麗でした。
私達が参加した日は雲が多めでしたが、それでも上手い具合に雲の隙間から太陽が出て様々な太陽と雲の様子を楽しめました。
ブッフェご担当のスタッフさんも丁寧なご対応で、品切れを起こしていたメニューもその旨をお伝えしたらにこやかに、即座にご対応してくださいました。
大変気持ちの良いひとときでした。
I think there should be more appealing options for nighttime activities in Miyako Island. I came to Miyako for work alone, and my choices at night were limited to going out for drinks in the city or participating in a night tour, but I was able to enjoy myself without getting too tired.
The meals include local specialties from Miyako Island, allowing those who are visiting for work or on a short itinerary to efficiently taste a bit of the local cuisine. You shouldn't expect much from the fish in the sea, though (laughs).
Even so, for an additional fee, you can enjoy Orion beer and awamori, and while feeling a bit tipsy, you can go up to the deck, feel the pleasant breeze on the boat, and quietly spend time gazing at the islands and bridges, as well as the stars and moon.
Therefore, you should either stay at a place within walking distance or take a taxi. If you make a reservation for the taxi on your return, it should come in time for your departure.
宮古島の夜の選択肢として、もっとアピールして良いのでは無いかと思います。自分は仕事で一人宮古に来たのですが、夜は街に飲みに行くか、ナイトツアー的なものしか選択肢が無い中で、確実に疲れずに楽しめます。
食事は宮古島名産も盛り込んであります。仕事や短い旅程で来ている人には効率良く少しずつ地の名産を味わえます。海中の魚は期待しないほうがイイですが(笑)
それでも別料金ですがオリオンビール呑んで、泡盛呑んで、ホロ酔いでデッキに上がって船上の心地よい風に吹かれながら島や橋を眺め、星や月をボンヤリみながら静かに過ごすことが出来ますよ。
ですので徒歩で来れる宿か、タクシーで来るべきです。タクシーは帰りの予約もしておけば帰港時間に合わせて着てくれるはずですよ。
We participated as a family.
The food was very delicious.
We were able to see a lot of fish.
I'm glad we could go under the Irabu Bridge.
The staff also provided various explanations, so we really enjoyed it.
It was a very nice cruising experience.
家族で参加しました。
ご飯がとても美味しかったです。
魚も沢山見れました。
伊良部大橋の下へも行って行けて良かった。
またスタッフさんが色々な説明もしてくれたのでとても楽しめました。
とても良いクルージングでした。
The lunch was very delicious, with a wide variety of dishes and excellent seasoning. The crew members were also friendly and engaging. What I particularly enjoyed was being able to see a sea snake while underwater viewing. I felt lucky to see it!!
ランチは、品数多く味付けも上々で非常に美味しかったです。また、船員の方々も気さくに話をしていただきました。特に良かったのは、水中鑑賞で海蛇を見ることができました。見れてラッキー!!
Unfortunately, the weather was not great, but miraculously, the sunset appeared along the way. During the two-and-a-half-hour cruise, we crossed the Irabu Bridge, and the food, including sashimi and a variety of desserts, was delicious. The waitress during dinner was very kind and friendly, sharing great things about Miyako Island and recommending beaches, which made the children very happy. Everyone was so nice. The ship was also very luxurious and beautiful. From the lower deck of the ship, we could see the underwater scenery, and they stopped the ship so we could see the fish. It was a bit disappointing that the sea was murky due to the strong waves. I would love to go again when I visit Miyako Island.
あいにく天気でしたが途中、奇跡的に夕陽が出ました。
2時間半のクルージングで伊良部大橋も渡って
お料理もお刺身などデザートも種類多く美味しかったです。ディナーの時のウエイトレスの方が
とっても親切に愛想、良く、宮古島のいい所やおススメのビーチなどお話してくれて子供もとっても喜んでいました。皆さんいい方ばかりでした。
船もすごく豪華で綺麗でした。
船の地下から海中が見えて魚が見える用に船を止めてくれました。波がきつかったので海が濁ってて残念でした。
また宮古島に行った時は乗りたいです。
A sudden live performance by the crew. It was a very human and heartfelt show. There were past experiences mentioning that the portion sizes of the meals were small, but I didn't feel that way at all; there was more than enough. If I could make a request, it would be that having drinks included in the set would have been even better.
乗務員の方々による突然のライブ。人間味あふれるライブでよかったです。過去の体験談で食事の量が少ないとあった談話もありましたが、私は、そうは感じなく余るぐらいありました。お願いをいうなら、飲み物もセットであればもっとよかったかと思います。
I booked this for my family, including my 7-year-old child. The start time is 17:30, and the meal is served buffet style from 17:30 to 19:00 (desserts are available until 20:00). I thought having dinner at 17:30 was a bit early, but since sunset is after 19:00 in summer, we had dinner, explored the ship, and enjoyed the sunset.
The ship is divided into four levels, so if you want to see everything, you'll be going up and down the stairs multiple times, which can be quite tiring. It was also fun to be told, "You should go to the top to see XX" and "You should go to the bottom to see the fish," as it kept us busy with various activities. When we encountered a downpour, we even saw a rainbow.
Since we returned around 20:30, I think it's good to be mindful of time management considering that.
7歳の子供と家族連れで申し込みました。
17:30スタートですが、食事はビュッフェスタイルで17:30~19:00までの間です。(デザートは20:00まで)
17:30に夕食はちょっと早いな~とは思いましたが、夏は日没が19時過ぎになるので夕食を食べて艦内を見てまわり、日の入りを見るという感じです。
4階層に分かれている船なので、全部見て回ったりすると階段の上り下りを何度もするので結構疲れます。そして、「〇〇が見えるので一番上行くといいですよ」「魚が見えるので一番下行くといいです」と欲張るといろいろ忙しいく、なかなかおもしろかったです。
スコールに遭うと、虹が見えたりもしました。
帰港が20:30くらいになるので、それを踏まえて時間配分を意識するといいと思います。
During my second visit to Miyako Island, I participated in a lunch cruise for the first time. The beautiful ship and the fulfilling content exceeded my expectations, and I was very satisfied. The lunch was delicious, and the cruise itinerary was fantastic. We were blessed with good weather, allowing us to take many beautiful photos, and passing under the Irabu Bridge was truly satisfying. I definitely want to participate again next time.
However, the reception was supposed to start at 12:00, but it seemed different. Since we arrived early, we were able to check in around 11:45 and enter the ship, but by that time, about half of the participants were already seated and eating. The announcement stated that check-in was at 12:00, with meals served while docked, and departure at 12:30, which made me wonder. If arriving early allows for securing seats and having meals, I think that should be communicated. (We were just killing time.) In reality, those who arrived at 12:00 found that the good seats were already taken, and although it was a buffet, there was never any replenishment of the food, so it was unfortunate for them.
Aside from that point, we were able to enjoy tea until the end, and I truly think it was a wonderfully relaxing experience.
二度目の宮古島で、初めてランチクルーズに参加しました。綺麗な船でとても充実した内容で期待以上に満足しました。ランチも美味しくてクルーズの行程もすごく良かったです。天候にも恵まれて綺麗な写真も沢山撮れましたし、伊良部大橋の下を通ったり本当に大満足。次回も絶対参加したいと思いました。ただ、12時から受付となっていますが、違うようで、早めに到着した私たちは、11時45分頃受付を済ますことができ、船内に入れましたが、その時すでに半分くらいの参加者が座っていて食事もしていました。12時から受付で停泊中に食事をして12時半に出航という案内だったので、えっ?と思いました。早く来て席が取れたり食事ができるならそのような案内にすべきだと思いました。(私達はわざわざ時間をつぶしていたので)現に案内通り12時に来た人はすでに良い席は埋まっていましたし、ブッフェといっても一度も追加の食事の補充がなく最初に出たものだけで終わりなので気の毒だったなと思いました。
その点を除けば最後までお茶もできましたし、本当にゆったり最高の時間だったと思います。
On May 9th, my family of three boarded the cruise. When we arrived at the boarding time, there were already other guests on board enjoying their meals. Since it was a buffet style, I initially thought, "How will this be?" but there were quite a few dishes, and I ended up feeling full. The food was delicious. We were able to enjoy a graceful time with the piano playing in the background.
Drinks are extra, but given the price of this cruise, I think it's normal to have additional charges.
During the cruise, it was cloudy and there was a bit of rain. The boat also swayed. After passing the Irabu Bridge, it became calm, and we were able to see many fish from the bottom deck. We waited for the sunset on the upper deck, but unfortunately, the weather was not favorable.
When we returned to the lounge, the live performance began. It seemed that the sunset was disappointing. The crew's collaboration of sanshin and piano was really enjoyable. They mentioned that they happened to be on board, and the solo performance by the professional was also wonderful.
The live performance continued until just before disembarking, so time flew by quickly. I was truly happy to have spent a delightful time on the cruise, enjoying delicious food. If I have the chance to visit Miyako Island again, I would definitely like to board again.
5/09に親子3人で乗船
受付時間どおりに乗船すると、もう既に他の方が乗っておられ、お食事もされておりました。
ビュッフェスタイルなので最初は「どうなの?」と思ったけど、結構お料理があってお腹いっぱいになりました。お料理美味しかったです。
ピアノをBGMに優雅に過ごせました
飲み物が有料ですが、このクルーズでこの料金では別料金は当たり前かと思います。
乗船中は曇ってて雨もパラパラ。
船も揺れました。
伊良部大橋を過ぎると穏やかになって、船底のボトムデッキでたくさんの魚を見ることができました。
サンセット時刻では船上デッキで夕日を待ちましたが、あいにくの空模様で残念でした。
ラウンジに戻るとLIVEが始まりました。
サンセットが残念だったとのことのようです。
クルーの方が三線とピアノのコラボでとっても楽しかったです。
又たまたま乗船されてたと仰言ってましたが、プロの方のソロも素晴らしかったです。
下船ギリギリまでLIVEだったのであっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。
クルーズ船に乗って、美味しいお料理も頂いて、楽しい時間を過ごせて本当に幸せな時間でした。
宮古島にまた行くことがあれば是非乗船したいです。
I was glad that the weather was nice.
The staff were also kind.
The food was delicious, and it was really great.
I had seconds multiple times.
We went outside, passed under the Irabu Ohashi Bridge, and were able to see fish in the shallow waters, which made the kids very happy!
I think both children and adults can enjoy it.
I would like to participate again when I go to Miyako Island.
Thank you very much.
お天気に恵まれて良かったです。
スタッフの方も親切でした。
食事も美味しくてすごくよかったです。
何度もおかわり頂きました。
外に出て伊良部大橋の下を通り、浅瀬では停泊して魚を見ることができ、子供も大喜びでした!
子供から大人まで楽しめると思います。
また宮古島に行ったら参加したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。
