点评:Boats quite new and in good order. Staff very friendly. One lock fault before starting so preferred route not available. I’d suggest that staff develop step by step instructions on where to go, moor up, take on water etc so easy to understand rather than drawing on a map.
Weather was very hot and extremely uncomfortable on a steel boat. Really needs aircon via solar panels etc. no wifi either and hardly any tv reception in most areas.
You do need to be relatively fit to use some of the lock gates. A long handle ratchet would work better for this task. Big walk between some locks so a wee scooter or collapsible bike would make the process quicker and less energy draining.
Lucky we only got 2 hours of rain in 2 weeks but a canopy over the helm would be magnificent for both sun and rain protection.
The boats are 65ft long and take some turning. Bow thrusters would be a god send especially for novices as probably most customers are.
Beds and pillows too firm for our liking too so accompanied by hot weather made sleeping very difficult.
Probably reads a bit whiny but don’t take it like that. Just suggestions for improvement.
Days are long too travelling up to 8hrs or so to get somewhere decent. Do need to moor up for a couple of days to get away from helm etc. padded seating at helm would be a great addition too

翻译:船很新,状况良好。工作人员非常友好。出发前遇到一个船闸故障,所以首选路线无法通行。我建议工作人员制定详细的步骤说明,例如去哪里、停泊、加水等等,这样更容易理解,而不是在地图上画图。
天气非常炎热,在钢制船上极其不舒服。真的需要用太阳能板之类的设备来安装空调。也没有无线网络,而且大部分区域几乎没有电视信号。
操作一些船闸需要一定的体力。长柄棘轮扳手会更方便。有些船闸之间需要走很长一段路,所以一辆小型踏板车或折叠自行车会让行程更快更省力。
幸运的是,两周内只下了两个小时的雨,但如果驾驶台上方有个遮阳篷,既能遮阳又能挡雨,那就太好了。
船长65英尺,转弯比较费劲。船首推进器会是救星,尤其对新手来说,因为大多数顾客可能都是新手。
床和枕头都太硬了,加上天气炎热,很难入睡。
可能听起来有点抱怨,但别误会。只是提些改进建议。
每天航行时间也很长,有时要花八个小时才能到达像样的地方。需要停泊几天,远离驾驶舱等等。如果驾驶舱能配备软垫座椅就更好了。
