Sorry for being late! Science popularization of cabins on the boat entering Three Gorges Family

Many people ask a question: What exactly is the difference between second class, first class, and VIP cabins on the boat entering Three Gorges Family? Today, let's have a good chat about it [Awesome] The dedicated line for the boat entering Three Gorges Family currently has two cruise ships, Three Gorges Family 1 and Three Gorges Family 2, with the same layout and configuration, both launched in 2022. The cruise ships have second class, first class, and VIP cabins, with floor distribution as follows [ThumbsDown] [One] Second Class Cabin: Located on the first floor, second floor, and the rear of the third floor, equipped with cinema-style seats and small dining trays, which is quite convenient and economically priced. [Two] First Class Cabin: Located at the front of the third floor, with floor-to-ceiling glass, sofa chairs + small round tables, tea is provided, and the beautiful mountain scenery on both sides along the way can be fully enjoyed. It is only 40 yuan more expensive than the second class cabin. [Three] VIP Cabin: Located at the front end of the second and fourth floors, it offers the best viewing experience on the entire ship, with comfortable sofas + small round tables, full floor-to-ceiling glass, and a dedicated viewing deck at the bow with 270-degree views. You can also enjoy a self-service tea break with tea, snacks, and seasonal fruits available as needed. Free pick-up and drop-off service is also provided (staff will contact you before 10 PM the night before your trip)! You can upgrade your cabin on the cruise ship by paying the difference to the staff. The upgrade options are as follows: 1. Upgrade from second class to first class: 40 yuan per person; 2. Upgrade from second class to VIP: 140 yuan for one person, 239 yuan for two, 329 yuan for three; 3. Upgrade from first class to VIP: 100 yuan for one person, 159 yuan for two, 209 yuan for three. (Please refer to the cruise staff for details) Also, a little secret: free hot water is available on the second floor of the cruise ship, so bring your thermos cup; there are a few charging ports by the windows in each cabin, so if your phone battery is weak, bring your charger and find a free charging spot; for those with luggage, Huangbai River Wharf has luggage storage lockers, 10 yuan/day for small items, 20 yuan/day for large items (you can store your luggage after passing the security check)! There is no parking lot at the wharf, so public transportation is recommended. Didi taxi is quite convenient, and there is also bus B212. If you must drive, you can look for marked parking spaces along the riverside road or pay to park in the factory yard by the river (only if there are available spots, navigate to Gezhouba Group Three Gorges Construction Engineering Co., Ltd.). If you want to know anything else, feel free to leave a message in the comments...
