World Cruise 2023 - Occasionally Live from the Island Princess

We_like_to_cruise was awarded the badge '"Live from...."' and 5 points.

Welcome to my occasional musings and reports from the Island Princess.   We are onboard for a total of 111 days (!) and have been having a blast the last few days.   It is only the first week of 16 so we are certainly in the honeymoon phase.   If you have read any of my previous postings (link below) you know that are are a couple in our 60s retired in the Tampa, Florida area.   We are a go-with-the-flow type (mostly) and glass-half-full (always).   OK enough with the metaphors.   But I promise to tell the good and the bad about our travels.   We have been on many cruises, but this is by far the longest.

The last few days have been filled up, so today I finally got a chance to sit down and compose my thoughts.   I will probably post in spurts after having the opportunity on sea days to write.   So, ports, although in the correct order, will not be posted each day. And, since CC makes it impossible to edit after the fact, I will copy and paste from a Word doc.

We booked this cruise – round trip from Fort Lauderdale - back in 2021.   Of course it was cancelled, twice, so we were super excited to finally board the ship this week.  

Could we spend almost four months on the Island Princess ???   Honestly we weren’t sure, so earlier this year booked a B2B that kept us on her for a month.   That was enough to convince us it was a go.   There have been ship wide changes even since that cruise six months ago; more about that later.

Although we had booked WC2023 quite a while ago, it was primarily in the last 12 months where we got serious about our planning and booking excursions.   We had a very very active Roll Call; I think there were 300+ contributors and well over 250 pages of information shared on this website.   Helpful hints on the visas we needed, private excursions, get-togethers, etc., were provided.   Members organized games, athletic events, pub crawls, slot pulls and more.   Wonderful group of people and I am grateful for their assistance.

Pre-cruise we had to make sure all of our bills were on auto-pay.   Had to file an extension for our taxes, notify our neighbors of our absence (our fantastic next door neighbor is retired law enforcement) and arrange for someone to come in and routinely check the house.   We had to make sure we had a sufficient amount of our maintenance meds.   Our auto insurer recommended we change our coverage at considerable cost savings since we would not be driving.   Almost every day we thought of another item for “the list”.   Yes, there is an enormous amount of preparation.

Our friends and family always asked the same question – how do you pack for four months at sea?   Early on we decided to bring a core group of clothing for about 14-16 days.   We would then plan on doing laundry on a sea day every few weeks at one of the convenient Laundromats, one on each floor.   A container of detergent pods, some dryer sheets and we were set.   We are nearly Elite, will become so during one of the segments, so that will take some of the pressure off.  

Our trial run of packing our clothes was quite frankly a disaster.   Way too much stuff! More like a month’s worth of clothes, not two weeks.    (Not pointing any fingers, but DW owns an awful lot of shoes!)   So, we took everything back out of the eBags and scaled down.   We realized to save space in the cabin all luggage must fit under the bed.   So instead of bringing four large suitcases, we brought two large ones and numerous smaller ones that could all fold up inside the large one.   That is where some of   the “freebie” duffels and bags DW got from her DSW shopping came in handy.  

Embarkation day was January 5 and on January 4 we had 14 bags packed.   The two largest bags held our clothes and formal wear.   The other bags held medication, vitamins, health and beauty aids, shoes, shoes, hiking boots, electronics, cameras, games, a box of 50 skinny hangars, etc., etc.   And etc.

Fortunately everything found a place in our cabin and now it is quite cozy.   We do not feel cramped at all and had no trouble storing all of our belongings.   We did leave some “stuff” in bags under the bed if it was not needed on a regular basis.   Everything fit under the bed as planned and all shelves and drawers were filled.

Here is a link to my last Live From -

The day before Embarkation Day

Driving from our home to the port takes about 4 hours.   On a shorter cruise we might just park our car there or off-site. Not for 111 days though!   We booked a rental car (thank you big box membership club) and picked it up at TPA the day before.   I am usually an Alamo guy, I like walking out to the rental car lot and picking my own car.  

This time we had to use Avis because they had a rental car return office very close to the port.   I was pleasantly surprised when upon pick up of my reserved “intermediate” car I was given a brand new Hyundai Santa Fe.   It only had 150 miles on the odometer !   It was their top of the line model with leather seats and all of the bells and whistles.   Avis also provided a QR code on my phone for exiting without stopping at the checkout booth.   It worked flawlessly.   Great job Avis !   Upon exiting the rental car area TPA provides a “GPS” pull off area so if you have a rental you can pull over to input your navigation info.   Smart !   I took a little time to adjust the seat, mirrors, familiarize myself with the control for lights, wipers, etc.   Then home in a lovely SUV.   And the cost for the one day rental was only $53.00.  

Uh oh, I forgot to take the Sun Pass, so had to take a couple of back roads to avoid tolls.   Rookie mistake !

Embarkation Day

Of course everything easily fit into the large SUV some we packed the night before.

Up early we hit the road around 7 am.  It is a straight run down 75 South to Alligator Alley into Fort Lauderdale.  By late morning we dropped off our bags with the porters and hoped we would see them again in a few hours  Fingers crossed. 

We drove the couple of miles to return the rental, first stopping to fill it with gas.  Well, the $50 rental took $40 worth of gas.  Still not bad for transportation to the port for less than $100. After drop-off, we were immediately able to board the shuttle bus back to the port.  Easy peasy. Again, thank you Avis.

Embarkation was a breeze.  We were in Group One and walked right in.  A minor delay at the security screening due to yours truly.  There was some concern about my mini multi-tool.  After emptying my flagged carry on, dumping its contents on a table and discussion among three agents it was deemed acceptable.  Whew.  I brought a guitar with me and the day before one of its strings broke.  So, I figured with so much time on the ship it would be easier to change the strings on board than beforehand.  Hence the multi tool to help remove the old strings.  Yes, DW has her shoes and I have my guitar!

Interestingly, after security, at formal Princess check-in we only had to show we had a passport and verify that our mailed medallions worked correctly.  Our pre-cruise instructions from Princess advised we needed ETA’s (visas) from Australia, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka to board and we needed a pre-cruise COVID test which we took the day before.  None of that info was verified, not sure why.

We only had a few carry ons with us, so proceeded directly to the Provence Dining Room for our traditional sit down luncheon of salmon and salad and a cold drink.  Service and food was great and the portions were large.  We have never been disappointed with the salmon on Princess!

After lunch we headed up to our cabin, a deluxe balcony.  Nice size room with a nice large covered and uncovered balcony.  We were pleased.  We always book midship in both directions – vertically and horizontally.  Our luggage had not yet been delivered, so we put away what we had hand carried, watched the required safety video and checked in at our muster station, Sabatini’s.  While there we made three reservations for dinner and then walked over to the Bayou Steakhouse and made two more.  Our early booking bonus included five specialty dining credits so we made reservations for all of them scattered a few weeks apart on sea days.  We had zero problems getting a reservation and were surprised no one else was on line to make one.  Our times and dates were later confirmed on the Medallion app.

We had a drink by the pool and relaxed for sail away. 

Before dinner we stopped back at the room to dress.  Hmm.  No luggage.  Our wonderful cabin steward advised us it was “on the way” and not to worry. 

First night at dinner was honestly a disappointment.  The server seemed a bit scatterbrained and inexperienced.  The first course was served promptly and was good.  However, we then were waiting and waiting for our mains.  I could see our server in the distance peering into a screen with her head in her hands and a puzzled look on her face.  For quite a while it seemed.  Finally when the meal was served the food was not hot.  I asked her if it could please be re-heated and she made a face and left.   It was consequently delivered to me by the head waiter and the server never returned to our table.  At all.

We skipped dessert and decided to go back and hopefully unpack.  On the way out, I asked the maitre’d if it would be possible to please have the same table we had during the earlier B2B.  He agreed and said it would be our table for the remainder of the voyage.  Fortunately we also inherited a seasoned waiter and assistant waiter – more on that later.

 (We do generally like sitting at a large table and meeting new people.  However, there is also a benefit to getting through dinner in a reasonable amount of time to make it to the shows. Hence our decision for a table for two.  We will meet others elsewhere.)

Back to the cabin – yay! Our luggage has arrived.  Unpacked and an after dinner drink in Crooners before calling it a night.  A long day – we promptly fell asleep in those wonderful Princess beds.

Our next couple of days were at sea.   DW participated in pickleball and Mah Jongg, we both did trivia and went to the shows.   We had pizza and beer for lunch out at the pool, wandered through the offerings in the Horizon Court buffet for breakfast and had our dinners in the MDR.

Our young CD, Cole was enthusiastic and inviting and we participated in some of the activities.

The medallion app onboard worked flawlessly for ordering food and drink no matter what your location – in your cabin, poolside, on deck.   We could also easily locate each other on the ship. .   We ordered on the cabin tv and by directly calling room service.   Our orders have all been filled correctly and pretty promptly – within 30 minutes.

  The internet met expectations with reasonably fast speeds and no down time (yet).   DW even streamed a Netflix movie the other night.   Other than the initial dinner waiter, every single staff person we have interacted with has been friendly and courteous and professional.   You can see that the dining staff especially are working very hard, but they always greet you with a smile.

We are now at a specific table every night at a specific time.   It is very easy to just walk by the lines of people and directly there.   As mentioned earlier, both the waiter and assistant waiter are experienced and already know our drink choices and the little things that make us unique.

The ship is older, but I think it is classy and beautiful.   If you have read any of my previous postings, you know that we never take the elevator.   (Ok, maybe on embark / disembark day due to luggage).   But our location is great for heading upstairs to the buffet or downstairs to the public spaces.   The forced exercise makes me feel a little less guilty about some of those delicious desserts!

Our cabin is roomy enough, at least for the time being.   That opinion may change 100 days from now!   Shower is powerful with plenty of hot water.   The toilet works with no issues. Yes, the shower is tiny.   Room temps are a little warmer than I would like.   Not a problem at night, but during the day, even with the curtains closed it could be cooler.   I called maintenance this morning and they have been busy working in the ceiling for the last hour!   I asked them if they were building me a new air conditioner.   Lots of hammering and banging.   Will keep you informed on the results.

As far as excursions go, we have booked a number of “must-sees” with the ship.   Not a fan of the busload of people who have load and unload and wait for Mabel in the gift shop and stops for shopping.   But some ports were so important or such a distance away that we acquiesced.   We have also booked quite a few more private tours.   Details of all will be explained as the trip progresses.

Ken the cruiser

Looking forward to following along! We just did a 38-day B2B on the NCL Jade from Athens to Dubai and then onto Cape Town. I see it's going to be awhile before you get to Dubai followed by going through the Suez Canal, but that section of the cruise for us was awesome, especially going to Petra and Valley of the Kings. BTW I would have thought Princess would have thrown in unlimited laundry if you booked a World Cruise. Have a great cruise!!

You need to be outside while heading into this port to view the modern city center with its skyscrapers.   Lovely and a bit unexpected!

We like to walk and typically walk a few miles every day at home.   According to our calculations, the distance from the cruise port to the Old City was a bit over two miles.   Certainly not unreasonable in our minds.   And, since we were leaving early in the morning, the weather was not much different than what we were used to in Florida – warm and humid but not yet oppressive.

After leaving the ship, we wanted to verify our directions with one of the local personnel outside.   His opinion was that it was not possible to walk and we should take a taxi.   OK, thank you.   We walked a bit further and   a different gentleman conferred with his colleagues.   Between some English and Spanish back and forth our route was confirmed.   Leaving the port we were inundated with cabbies offering to take us into the city.   The price quickly dropped from $20 to $10 as we demurred.   A couple even followed us down the street honking and yelling their prices out the window.

To get outside the port we had to walk through a beautiful aviary; we spent time there on our return but first briskly walked through to head to the Old City.

We did walk into the city and it was about 2 ½ miles through some interesting neighborhoods.   We never felt at all unsafe and stopped a few times to ask residents if we were on the right track.   All were helpful and friendly.   One used to live in Miami and reminisced about living in Florida.

We had pre-booked a Guru Walk tour meeting at 10 am by the clock tower in front of the Old City.   Our guide, Isaac met us and checked us in.   Guru Walks are led by local residents and you pay at the end what you wish.  

There were about 20 of us.   Interestingly, we were the oldest (by about a factor of three).   All the other participants were young people and different nationalities.   Example – we met participants from the UK, Netherlands, Brazil, US, and Colombia.   I would venture that almost all were in their twenties.  

Isaac had a chest mounted amplifier and a headset mic which worked well to explain the sites.   The tour lasted nearly three hours and included stops at:

• Santa Teresa Square

• San Pedro Claver Square

• Aduana's Place

• Cars Square

• Proclamation Square

• Cathedral

• Simon Bolivar Square

• Santo Domingo Square

• Mercy Square

Isaac was knowledgeable, spoke excellent English and was very proud of his city.   A great tour and well done.    Isaac even took our group into a park where we took pix of iguanas and a sloth climbing on a tree.   After the tour ended, he helped the two of us get a cab back to the ship - $5.   For both of us.   Thanks Isaac!

Back at the port, we now unhurriedly walked through the beautiful aviary filled with hundreds (?) of parrots, flamingos, and peacocks.   Very lovely.   They also had a large air conditioned gift shop and restrooms.   Truly one of the nicest cruise ship terminals we have walked through

Thanks for the excellent reviews.  I always follow WC blogs, but have not seen one for a Princess ship, and we are primarily Princess Cruisers.  Enjoy!

Thanks for doing this. We will be following along as we are on the World Cruise in June from Sydney on the Coral Princess

How many cruise credits will you get on the 111 day world cruise? Just curious.

Aloha.  Thank you for taking the time to post.  As a previous poster wrote, this is a first I have seen for princess and much appreciated. We love cruising and have been blessed to have seen the world with various cruise lines and via air/land.  We divide our time between NY and Honolulu with cruising for us set to resume hopefully this summer.  Enough of us…keep posting and love the pictures! Smooth sailing. 

californiagirl

Thank you for taking us along.  A WC is on our bucket list.  I see your cruise goes east to west.  I’ve heard that is the best direction as you gain time as you travel.  Easier on the body.

Excited to follow along!

I will be following along.  I will be on the Island in Nov. for 14 day Mediterranean and Israel 

 Also following.  We are onboard in July.  Have a great adventure. 

Thanks for the posting. Will follow your.  Enjoy reading it. 

Have a wonderful trip.

regarding your rental car and drop off.... we have a budget car rental one way to port everglades in April for a transatlantic.....since Avis and budget are as one, did you drop off the rental at :

Looking forward to following your Blog.

Thank you for your updates.  We will be boarding the Island when you return.  We are doing the 15 day Panama Canal - coast to coast - May 11th - 26th.  This will be our first time on the Island and first time doing the Panama Canal.

We are boarding the Island in California - not Florida.

Hm good question.  I will find out.  I do know we already have enough credits to become Elite mid-way.

Yes, that is indeed the location we used for the Avis drop-off.  There is a small office for final payment and the shuttle bus was waiting to take us the couple of miles back to the ship.  Very easy.  Good luck!

Good news with our AC.  As mentioned above, maintenance was here for well over an hour.  I heard lots of banging and hammering, lol.  When they were finished they knocked on the balcony door and said it was fixed.  Yes, it was.  Dramatic difference in temps, so we are happy.  Now the room is comfortable at a mid-range level on the thermostat compared to being warm with the thermostat at its coldest setting.

Guest Services called an hour later to make sure all was working properly.

Guest Services apologized and provided us some OBC for our inconvenience.

An officer knocked on our door an hour after that to make sure the AC was ok.

Good job and followup by shipboard personnel!

They may not credit you until the very end of the cruise   We were blue for 76 days although it was 5 segments  It depends if you booked it as one cruise

Panama Canal

We had previously done a partial transit on the Coral Princess.   It went into Gatun Lake and then we disembarked to take an excursion ferry through the remaining locks out to the Pacific.   At the time of that voyage, we were working and it was a shorter 10 day round trip from Fort Lauderdale.

This would be our first cruise ship transit all the way from the Atlantic side to the Pacific side.

As before we would be passing through the original narrower locks since Island Princess is a Panamax vessel.

Most passengers were up early for the transit through the Panama Canal.   The Horizon Court was crowded very early and the choice aft tables were quickly filled up.   Many took their coffee outside to set up for pictures and videos.   We were given a schedule in advance- the pilot would join us at 07:15 and we would enter Gatun Locks at about 08:45.   The pilot would take control of the ship through all of the remaining locks and would leave the ship at 17:45.

The early-birds had choice outdoor viewing spots.   However, at least at our location, most gladly allowed people to squeeze in briefly to take a few pix.   The atmosphere was very friendly and exciting and the weather was lovely.  

An on-board guide narrated our passage through the canal with facts and anecdotes.

We stayed until the ship went through the initial locks and entered Gatun Lake and then wandered to other ship locations to take more pictures. Finally we spent the rest of the day on our balcony.   Lunch was ordered in and eaten outside.   We were warned the delivery would be slower than usual and it took nearly an hour.   I guess a lot of people had the same idea as we did.

What a fascinating day – traversing an engineering marvel of such grand magnitude.   Truly a humbling experience.

Prior to our initial voyage I read the de rigueur “The Path Between the Seas” by David McCullough.   As a refresher for this voyage we watched a PBS American Experience documentary titled “Panama Canal Gateway to the American Century” (2011). I can recommend both!

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers. It also produces nuclear fuel for research reactors. The plant belongs to the TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom.

Rosatom obtained a license for the first land-based SMR in Russia

In the Moscow region there is a small cozy town Elektrostal. Its sights for the most part have no historical value due to the fact that the city has a relatively small history. But for a visiting tourist or city dweller, they will be of interest. There is something to see, where to go to have an exciting leisure time.

Today the population of the city is 158 thousand people. Until the beginning of the 20th century there were several small workers' settlements here. After the opening of the electrometallurgical and equipment factories, the place began to be called the natural boundary of Calm. The construction of the railway made this settlement accessible, and workers and families flocked here to earn money. In 1925, the station was named Elektrostal, and the rapid increase in population allowed the village to receive the status of a city.

The founder of the city is a prominent Russian industrialist Nikolai Vtorov. It was he who opened the plant here, creating, in fact, a city-forming enterprise that is still operating. In Soviet times, it was a closed facility, and it was not easy to get to work here.

Today Elektrostal is a promising industrial city with a great future and a heroic past. It bears the proud name "City of Military and Labor Glory".

You can learn about the sights of Elektrostal with descriptions and photos here. There are places for walking, outdoor activities and cultural development.

Those who come to the city by train are met by a monument to the metallurgist. It was installed in November 2017 for the 100th anniversary of the Elektrostal plant. The attraction is made in the style of constructivism. The monument quickly won the love of the townspeople, because this city is supported by ordinary workers.

Elektrost altsy and the founding father of the plant, Nikolai Vtorov, are honored. In 2002, a monument was opened in honor of him, which became a landmark of the city of Elektrostal. The bronze sculpture is installed on the site where once stood a monument to the leader of the world proletariat, V. I. Lenin. Times change, characters change. Today, the plant, founded a century ago, is the largest in Russia. Vtorov himself, whose fortune was estimated at 60 million rubles in gold, according to Forbes magazine, was the owner of the largest capital at the beginning of the century. He was a banker, an industrialist, an entrepreneur, a man of action.

The monument was erected byinitiative of the townspeople who wished to perpetuate the monument to the great man.

One of the popular places for spending weekends and evenings among citizens and guests of the city is the Park of Culture and Leisure. Here you can ride attractions for children and adults, play slot machines, rollerblade or bike. The park is divided into two zones. Fans of unhurried walks in the fresh air make a promenade on the Quiet Alley, and those who prefer outdoor activities flock to the Entertainment Alley. The park has a summer stage, where concerts and cafes are regularly held.

Until 1999, there was no central museum among the attractions of Elektrostal in the Moscow Region. The expositions were exhibited in schools, the house of culture, in factory museums. The city was closed, so there was no large influx of tourists and visitors. The appearance of the historical and art museum made it possible for residents and guests of the city to learn a lot of useful information about their native land, the formation of the production process, and the difficult years of the war. The exposition consists of paintings by local artists, historical artifacts, household items, documents, books and much more. The collection is updated regularly. It also hosts outdoor exhibitions, which are always popular with the townspeople.

One of the main attractions of Elektrostal, the photo of which is available to almost every resident or visitor, is the Main Alley. On herpassers-by like to stroll along shady paths, townspeople rest by the fountain after a hard shift at the plant. Flower beds are the decoration of the alley. In 2006, a flower festival was held here for the first time, which has become traditional. Each enterprise of the city and private individuals give residents a real composition of fresh flowers, which pleases with bright colors all summer long. A riot of colors, aromas and a flight of fantasy reigns here. Walking through the park, you can see Snow White with a basket, a bright well, a multi-tiered cake made from fresh flowers, hearts of lovers or a fabulous house. It is almost impossible not to take a photo against the background of these compositions.

There is a cultural center in the city. It hosts performances by local creative teams and visiting stars, performances and circus performances.

In 1971, the ice palace "Crystal" was opened in the city. Almost immediately, a children's and youth hockey team was organized, which gained sports fame. This is the home sports arena for the Elektrostal hockey team. Matches of different levels are held on the ice.

There are sections for children who go in for hockey or figure skating. Citizens come here with their families to cheer for their favorite team or go ice skating.

Elektrostal is a city with a heroic past. During the war years, more than 12 thousand citizens came to the recruiting station and went to the front to defend their homeland. Almost 4 thousand of them did not return from the battle. To these heroesdedicated to the memorial complex with the inextinguishable Eternal Flame, opened in 1968

But the electricians took part in the war in Afghanistan and Chechnya. By decision of the city authorities, their memory is also immortalized in the memorial complex.

It has become a good tradition for newlyweds to lay flowers at this monument.

In 1999, a museum and exhibition complex was opened in the city, where, in addition to the exhibition hall, there are numerous circles for children, classes for young people, and a creative workshop. Various festivals, exhibitions, city holidays and other events are held within the walls and on the territory of the complex, which attract many spectators.

Listing the sights of Elektrostal, it is impossible not to mention the temples. There are several of them in the city: the church of St. John of Kronstadt, St. Andrew's Church, the hospital church of St. Panteleimon. Another new church is being built. In appearance, the temples look ancient, monumental, in the Novgorod style. But they were all built at the end of the 20th century.

Let there be no ancient artifacts among the sights of Elektrostal. But on the other hand, all of them are connected with the history of the city, with everyday work and military exploits of ordinary residents.
