Was on a cruise trip from 14 to 16 Oct. It’s the second time that I’m on a cruise. The first was more than 10 years ago. As mentioned earlier, it’s a 2D2N trip at SuperStar Virgo. This is at level 12 where the jacuzzi, water slide and swimming pool are. The slide is fun, but I end up injuring my leg when I try to get out of the water. =_=

Back to day 1. Though the check-in and boarding time is 8pm and 8.30pm, we start queuing around 6.40pm. When it’s nearer to the check-in time, the queues start to get longer and the whole place is pack with people. Can’t imagine how the place will be when it’s during the peak season.

This is the night view of Harbourfront from the ship.

This is the library in the ship. Looks very classy and comfortable.

However, the internet usage seems a bit limited and expensive.

The layout and finishes of the whole ship looks classy. This is the Galaxy Of The Stars. You are able to see the sea view, sunrise and sunset here while drinking. There’s also an area in the middle for people to dance. The Captain’s bridge is just below here.

This is our room. It’s quite small, but is still able to squeeze the three of us in. We chose the cheapest room without window, so the drawing on the wall is our ‘window’. ^^; As our room is quite close to the engine room, we could hear a bit of the engine noise at night.

This is the main lobby of the ship. There will be live performance in front of the three horse statues from time to time. This is also the area where we pay our bill at the end of the trip.

The ceiling of the area. Looks beautiful.

The Lido. It’s a theater for live performances in the ship. We also collect passports here, but it’s only for Singaporean. =_= Foreign passports have to be collected at Galaxy Of The Stars.

Star Navigator shows info and schedule of different restaurants, activities and live performances. Will be given one copy by the cabin crew each day. If you need more, you will have to get it from the main lobby.

View of the sea from the deck. Didn’t manage to play the game shown on the deck floor. Not sure what is the name of the game.

One of the restaurants. We always go to those restaurants that doesn’t need to pay additional money. There are different varieties of food from different restaurants such as Chinese, Western, Buffet, Vegetarian, Japanese and Thai.

We watched Justice Bao (包青天) for two of the days in our room. ^^; It’s an old Taiwan show in Mandarin, but the one shown here was dubbed in Cantonese.

The ship will stop at Port Klang during the second day. Star Pisces happen to stop next our ship. You can go for land tour at Malacca, but you will need to pay additional money. If not, you can call for a taxi at Port Klang and go to Kuala Lumpur.

On the way to Port Klang. There’s no souvenir to buy, only food products that I can get in Singapore and Johor Bahru.

There are different board games that you can borrow from the Activity Center at level 12. We spent some time playing snake & ladders, jigsaw puzzles and Uno. Too bad there are always missing pieces in the jigsaw puzzles. There’s a Manjong Room beside the Activity Center, but mostly are aunties and uncles playing inside.

There’s a arcade center in the ship. This game seems to be new. You will have to use the stick to hit the screen to destroy the ghosts. Will have to move the stick in circles to charge power. By watching Passerby B play, I know this is a tiring game.

We played the Bingo games in two days, but no luck of winning anything. We use the toothpick to mark out those called numbers by poking a hole.

Woke up early for both mornings to see the sunrise, but seems like I have no luck. It rains during the first morning and the sky was cloudy during the second morning. Could only see some reddish orange lights, but no sight of the sun. T^T

If you want to escape from your normal stressful life, then this could be a good idea. You will be treated well by the staffs in the ship, who are mostly foreign workers. But be prepared to pay some additional money at the end of the cruise trip, either due to gambling at the casino or buying souvenirs in the ship.
