💰 Gulangyu Cruise's five-day expenses on Miyako Island, Japan (running account version)

Focus on a simple record ✏️ (Unit: RMB)

1️⃣ Early bird ticket: 2595 yuan/person (deluxe sea view room, purchased before August 31)
👉 It is recommended to choose a sea view room, the whole process can see the sea from the room 🌊.
Standard Sea View Room vs Premium Sea View Room: The main difference is whether there is a bathtub🛁.
Inner staterooms are cheaper, while balcony rooms need to be booked in advance.

2️⃣ Shore free trip: 375 yuan/person (seven-seater car 🚐, six people together, find the local Chinese master at 9:00 the night before departure)
👉 Temporary find is OK, if earlier registration will be cheaper. Great free trip experience 👍.

3️⃣ Shore meal: 80 yuan/person (eat very full 😋, unfortunately did not eat wagyu beef 🐮)

4️⃣ Cruise tip: $16/person, four nights totaling about 475 yuan💵

5️⃣ Island fee: 1000 yen/person, about 50 yuan💴

6️⃣ Return transportation: high-speed rail + subway about 100 yuan 🚄 (or you can register for 10 dollars to take the cruise terminal bus 🚌)

7️⃣ Drink expenses: A cocktail 🍹 or coffee ☕️ ($5-12) at your own expense
We drank cappuccino and hot chocolate ☕️🍫, about 20 yuan/person at the top of the starry sky on the 8th floor.

8️⃣ Onboard facilities: swimming pool 🏊♀️, concert 🎶, library 📚, cinema 🎬, clear bar 🍸, resident band 🎤
Four meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner, late night snack) are all free, there are three free restaurants, the most popular is the Lido buffet 🍽️.

9️⃣ Intercom: about 145 yuan / person 📡 (small, can be secretly brought on board, the whole ship calls no problem)

🔟 Wi-Fi: About $20 per day💰, we didn't turn it on, we used intercom to communicate instead.
📱 Because the cruise passes through Xiamen, Taiwan waters, sometimes the signal will come back, you can send and receive messages briefly.

🧾 Summary
About 4000 yuan/person
Because of the peak season of National Day, ferry tickets are a little more expensive; in the off-season, it can be about 500 cheaper.
🌊 The whole experience is great, the sea view room is definitely worth it!
