Luminous Kobe　２

I have got on this luxurious passenger ship twice. At first with my parents, older brother family, and my husband and me in summer vacation. We enjoy either cruise of Concerto and Luminous Kobe 2 two in the neighborhood of Kobe Port. In Concerto they provide Chinese food accompanied with live performance of music while Luminous Kobe 2 offer French cuisine. My mom seemed to be attracted by live performance, but chose Luminous lest we should get seasickness when we eat fatty Chinese foods aboard.
A platform is near Meriken Park Oriental Hotel. It is located a little away from the nearest station. Because the neighborhood is the spot suitable for walking and shopping, it is recommended to wander around the area to the wicket.
Fortunately, the weather was good when we boarded. Akashi Kaikyo Bridge shined under the blue sky. We ordered the dish of the full-​course lunch at the cheapest price: seven articles. It cost nearly 4,500 yen for lunch. I feel it a little expensive compared with course meals at restaurants. For fearing of seasickness it was thankful for reducing the number of articles and cutting down the cost.
Second, I got on the ship for night cruise. After having lunch with the senior of my ex-​company in the vicinity of Motomachi area on the same day, I met my husband and boarded it. I found an embarkation ticket in a newspaper to be able to get on for 1,000 yen per person. It was satisfactory and advantageous ticket. I had a sudden headache and unfortunately was not able to afford to thoroughly enjoy a beautiful night view, though. Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and Kobe Tower lit up were super beyond our expectation. My husband hung around inside of the ship and was deeply satisfied with its gorgeous décor.
To tell the truth, I was going to board it three times. My mother got a pair of free time-​limited embarkation tickets and sent to me. I tried to make an appointment on the day before the boarding day, but I couldn’t. All seats had been already appointed. If I made an appointment for meal plan, I could board it. If you want to enjoy only boarding, you should make an appointment earlier.
