Cruise to Phuket, Thailand

Phuket shore excursions, amazing experiences coming soon., sorry, there are no excursions for this port at this moment., things to do in phuket.

Big-Screen Islands

Exotic mountain rocks coming out of the ocean in Phuket, Thailand

Pha Nga Bay has several karst islands that can be explored by longtail boat, including the sheer cliffs of James Bond Island, featured in "The Man With the Golden Gun." Some islands are shaped like doughnuts with shallow calm water inside, only reachable at low tide. Popular Phi Phi (pronounced "pee-pee") Island was featured in the movie "The Beach."

Get Underwater

Snorkeling at Phi Phi Island, Phuket, Thailand

The waters surrounding Phuket have great snorkeling and scuba diving, thanks to the bay's warm, clean waters and lively marine ecosystems. Snorkel off the beach at Ao Sane, next to Nai Harn Beach, at Kata Noi or near Patong at Paradise Beach. Drift past anemones, parrot fish and various types of coral.

Above Nakkerd Hills is a 147-foot-tall white Buddha statue, which you can see from many parts of the island — hike up to the statue itself, which is surprisingly uncrowded. It's covered in Burmese white jade marble, and next to it is a smaller Buddha made from brass. The trek also comes with the bonus of breathtaking views down to the sea.

Local Cuisine

Sample Thailand's famous cuisine at street stalls or sit-down restaurants. If you're not sure what to order, ask for pad kra prao — stir-fried meat (usually chicken or pork) prepared with chili peppers and Thai holy basil. The level of spiciness can be tailored to your taste, and adding in a fried egg is optional — though highly recommended.

Silks are always a good buy in Thailand; choose from scarves in every color, pillowcases or clothing. Cruise to Phuket and pick up a carved elephant in wood, metal or stone. At home, place it facing a doorway for good feng shui .

FAQs about Royal Caribbean Cruises

Given the events over the last few years, having the proper travel documents has been a considerable concern of many guests prior to enjoying a carefree vacation. Passport, visa and inoculation regulations may vary by destination and may change from time to time. For your protection, your passport expiration date needs to be at least six (6) months after the sailing termination date. It is the sole responsibility of the guest to obtain and have available when necessary the appropriate valid travel and health documents such as passports, visas, vaccination certificates, etc., that are necessary for air travel, disembarkation at the various ports of call and re-entry into the appropriate country of origin. Visa Based on nationality, many countries still require an entry visa. It is the guests’ responsibility to identify and to obtain all the necessary visas before commencing their cruise. 

For Cambodia and Vietnam

All nationalities require visas for Vietnam with the following exceptions: Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Japan, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway.

All nationalities require visas for Cambodia with the following exceptions: Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Laos. Please Note :  The following nationalities will find it extremely difficult to secure a visa for Vietnam and Cambodia, whether through us or by themselves; Pakistan, North Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq and Nigeria. 

Inoculation/Health

We recommend that all guests, regardless of their sailing date check with their health care professional or a Travel Medicine Specialist certified by the WHO for guidance. Other informational resources can be accessed at the  Centers for Disease Control Traveler’s Health website.   As detailed in our brochure, all guests must ensure that they are medically and physically fit for travel. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the  World Health Organization website.  (WHO) provide guidelines as to which vaccinations are required in each country. In many cases inoculations are recommended, but in some circumstances they are required.

Please remember to bring your passport with you, as well as any other required documents your cruise confirmation email requests. Make sure to have your documents handy in your carry-on bag for easy access. We ask that guests do not pack passports and other required documents in checked bags, as failure to show these documents may result in denial of boarding.

When you’re onboard, the right look will vary by venue, time of day, and activity. Here are a few types of suggested attire you’ll see, and some recommendations for what to bring: Daytime: Casual You’re on vacation – relax! Jeans, polos, sundresses, and blouses are all the right amount of laid back. Shorts are welcomed for breakfast and lunch, but please keep swimwear to the pool deck. Evening: Smart Casual Think of this as a step up from your typical dinner wear. Dress to impress with collared shirts, dresses, skirts, and blouses, or pantsuits. Jackets, sport coats, and blazers are snazzy and welcomed. Additional items we recommend packing include:

Medications including motion sickness care

• Walking shoes
• Hat, sunglasses
• Scarf or wrap to cover bare legs and shoulders inside museums and religious sites
• Travel umbrella/rain jacket
• Warm clothes
• Power adapter (without a surge protector)
• Insect repellent
• Lightweight collapsible backpack
• Swimsuit, coverup
• Eco-friendly/biodegradable sunscreen, after-sun lotion
• Active attire
• Light jacket or wrap
• Chargers, headphones, etc.

If you are planning to check in your bag to have it delivered to your stateroom, we recommend packing a small bag of essentials to carry onboard. This bag should include: travel documents, medications, swimsuit, coverup, change of clothes, and sunscreen.

Feel free to leave the following items behind as they will be available onboard to use at no charge: pool towels (which can be used in port), soap, shampoo, and hair dryers. Prohibited items: Weapons, illegal drugs, and other items that could interfere with the safe operation of the ship or the safe and secure environment of our guests and crew are prohibited.

The only exceptions to this policy are curling irons and hair straighteners.
• Sports gear, and self-defence items: Handcuffs, pepper spray, nightsticks, martial arts items, and hoverboards. Exceptions can be made for the following sporting goods, however, the item must be stored in the guest’s stateroom and cannot be used onboard: baseball bats, hockey sticks, cricket bats, golf clubs, skateboards, surfboards, and bicycles.

• Dangerous chemicals: Including bleach, paint and other flammable liquids.
• Alcoholic beverages: On boarding day, guests may bring one (1) 750 mL bottle, per adult of drinking age, per sailing. Guests who purchase alcohol bottles onboard or in port, will have their items safely stored by the ship. These bottles will be returned on the last day of the sailing to be enjoyed back home. Alcoholic beverages seized on embarkation day will not be returned.

4D3N Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas: My First Time Cruising!

Why would someone pay money to go to a country by sea and spend 24 hours on the ship one-way, when you can just take a 1-hour flight to get there?

This question bothers me a lot when I was young and naive. Cruise vacation has never crossed my mind in my twenties. The young lady in me wanted to explore, explore, explore, and not sit still in a vehicle for days where there’s no network. But, as you get older, you get wiser, right? So, how did I end up on a Royal Caribbean vessel for 4 days 3 nights? Did I enjoy it? What are the highlights of this cruise? Having been to Penang often, what did I do at the port of call this time?

If you’re a cruise newbie who hasn’t taken a single cruise in your life, or you’re looking for snippets about Voyager of the Seas to justify whether it’s worth your hard-earned money, I will share my experience, written from a clueless newbie perspective. Mind you, I didn’t do a single research prior to the trip (I had long hours at work before the trip) thus I made plenty of mistakes that you should avoid!

Why did I book the cruise?

One day, my hubby texted me during work and told me that his company’s annual trip this year is a cruise trip. He asked me whether we are going. I said, “Of course! How much?” “500.” “Okay, let me know the details and let’s discuss tonight!” Long story short, we decided to join the cruise. Because, why not? It’s a free vacation for hubby but he kindly paid for half of my tix.

In the weeks leading to the cruise, we couldn’t stop counting down. Both of us work long hours on weekdays and weekends. We couldn’t wait to unplug and not think about work.

Packing tips

Based on my own experience of over-packing and my hub’s experience of under-packing, here are my tips for packing.

Things to bring:

• 1 pair of swimsuits for swim and jacuzzi.
• 1 pair of water sportswear for Flow Rider (you don’t want to wear a bikini for this). Tips: wear tight pants cos the water pressure is really high, your pants will most likely drop if it’s loose.
• 1 pair of flip-flops for everyday wear.
• 1 pair of sneakers for jogging and gym.
• 4 pairs of socks. One for each day. You also need it for rock climbing.
• Cameras. I brought DSLR, GoPro and camera phone. Didn’t regret a single thing except that I didn’t bring any to record our experience at FlowRider! Ugh!
• Toiletries, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, comb, shavers, face wash. Body soap and shampoo are provided.
• Wines. Each room is allowed to bring 2 bottles of unopened wine or champagne. Tips: if you want to drink in your room or by the pool, just borrow the glasses from housekeeping or pool bar.
• Water bottle. You can refill water from Cafe Promenade.

Things not to bring:

• Heels. I bought a pair of heels but I regretted it. I wore it only once to the fine dining dinner at Sapphire Dining Room. When I saw other people wear flip-flops, I did the same the next day, oops I’m too honest!
• Snacks. With unlimited food on board, save your luggage and your energy from carrying extra snacks that you won’t be eating anyway.

Pre-Departure tips

• Arrive early!  We made the mistake of arriving late. The check-in opens as early as 10.45am and closes as late as 3pm. We arrived at Marina South Pier at 1am and only got to our room at 2.30am. We had a rushed lunch. It was chaotic.
• Bring luggage, not hand carry bags.  Firstly, if you are planning to take MRT to Marina South Pier, the distance between Marina South Pier MRT and Marina Bay Cruise Centre is about 1km. So, a luggage is more useful than a bag. Secondly, if you don’t check in your belongings, you need to carry them to your room. It’s a long walk, trust me.
• Check in your luggage, it’s free.  Unlike budget flights where you need to pay to check in your bags, the check-in service on a cruise is free (or, rather, it’s already included!). You check-in your bags first before passenger check-in. The queue for luggage check-in is outside the building, not inside. Basically, just show them your tix that has your room number, and they’ll put on the tags on your luggage. That’s it! Your luggage will be delivered to your room once the ship sails. If you have wine, you will receive a paper in your room that requests you to collect your luggage at Deck 1.

The terminal looks really confusing for a first-timer like me!

• Make your way to the passenger check-in counter.  Follow the signs. Different decks of the same cruise have different check-in counters. It could be confusing, but just follow the signs according to your deck.
• Once you get through the lengthy check-in process and receive your Seapass (aka room card), make your way to the ship. As you get out of the cruise terminal and walk towards the ship, you’ll pass a group of crews to will ask you to surrender your passport. Give your passport and your NRIC. We didn’t surrender our NRIC on the first day, so we had to visit Guest Service on the second day to surrender our NRIC. In case you don’t know, NRIC is the identity card held by residents of Singapore (including foreigners who work in the country).
• Once you enter the ship at Deck 4, you’ll see so many people at the lift lobby waiting for the slow lift to come. Don’t waste your time waiting for the same lift. Take the stairs instead. Luckily, our room was only 2 storeys above the entrance.
• Grab your lunch, quick! Visit Windjammer at Deck 11 for the free buffet or Cafe Promenade at Deck 5 for light snacks (i.e. pizza, sandwich, cakes, etc). Be quick, because the lunch facilities will be closed at about 3.30pm to prepare for the mandatory drill before the ship sails.
• Begin your adventure!  Once the drill ends, the ship starts sailing and your adventure begins! Either plan your activities first using the Cruise Compass in your room, or simply explore the whole ship on foot. Your choice. Wait, what’s Cruise Compass? It’s the daily schedule of shows time, restaurant opening hours, activity operating hours, etc. Basically, it’s a very important document and it’s sent directly to your room every night.

Our first glimpse of the cruise. I was awed.

How my first cruise experience looks like

Here’s how I spent my 4 days 3 nights on the cruise. It isn’t a perfect itinerary, but it shows you how little time you have on board so you need to carefully plan your activities. It also shows you the mistakes we made, so you won’t repeat it. Ready?

1 pm: Arrived at Marina South Pier. Went through the lengthy check-in process that I’ve explained in the “Pre-Departure” section above,

2.20 pm: Excited to discover that our interior stateroom is not bad! The bed is big and so comfortable. The aircon is great.

Our stateroom! No windows or balcony but it’s really comfortable!

The other view of the stateroom

And the tiny shower room

2.40 pm: Lunch at Windjammer. It’s all-you-can-eat, baby! It was our first meal on the cruise, of course, we went wild. There was so much food. We ate a lot. I especially love the pizza and pasta. We only left the restaurant when they were preparing to close.

The staff would try to sell you discounted meals at speciality dining places. It’s quite a huge discount and you can consider it. Otherwise, you still can buy the package during dinner or the second day.

4 pm: Mandatory Muster Assembly Drill. From Windjammer, we followed other people to the Drill. Along the way, we saw the crews holding the signs for D4. Being confused, we asked the crew where we were supposed to go. After they checked our Seapass, they told us to go to our station A3 instead of D4. So, we had to walk quite some distance to our designated station. The drill went on for about 15 minutes. Then, the ship started sailing.

4.30 pm: Photoshoot session. Not wanting to miss the opportunity to take photos of Singapore from a cruise, we went up to the pool deck for a photoshoot session.

We’re so ready to begin our adventure!

5.30 pm: Dinner. On our Seapass, it was written that we were assigned to 5.30 PM seating at the Sapphire Dining Room (also known as Main Dining Room, or Fine Dining). We went with high expectation, we dressed better than casual. The dining hall was really huge and beautiful. All the utensils were nicely laid on the table. We were excited. However, our excitement was short-lived.

Looks luxurious!

Before dinner was served

The dinner was nothing to boast about. The food was a hit or miss. My appetizer (scallop) was great but my main (pad thai) was terrible. Dessert was fantastic. Service was bad. Here are my tips for you: dine with no expectation at all and you won’t leave with regrets.

L-R: appetizer (scallop), pad thai, sweet and sour chicken, grilled chicken, fish and chips, curry.

Dessert. Just okay.

7.30 pm: Hanging out at the pool deck, soaking in the atmosphere.

8.15 pm: Went to Studio B (deck 3) for the “Ice Odyssey” show scheduled at 8.30 pm. To our disappointment, the studio was already full even before the show started. Too bad. We went back to our room to rest.

9.30 pm: Went to Studio B again for the second show of “Ice Odyssey” show scheduled at 10.30 pm. Yes, we were really early, like 1 hour early. After queuing for some time, the door opened and the line moved. We went into the studio, took a seat and waited patiently for the show to start.

10.30 pm:  “Ice Odyssey show officially started. Professional ice skaters were performing spectacular moves on the skating rink. Stupid me, I didn’t bring my DSLR. Hence, the not-so-sharp photos below. This show is one of the best shows on the cruise and I highly recommend it to anyone boarding the cruise.

The girl on the chair volunteered to be a guest of the show

Amazing performance by pro skaters

11.30 pm: Show’s done. Time for bed.

Here’s our ideal plan for the morning of Day 2: wake up at 6 am, go for a morning jog at 6.15 am, swim at 6.45 am, breakfast at 7.30 am. Here’s what really happened.

8 am: Wake up with a huge sense of regret for oversleeping.

8.15  am: Breakfast at Windjammer. The restaurant is crowded as usual, but we managed to find a table. There was too much food at the buffet. My favourite food has to be the fried carrot cake. It was a little bit too salty but I just couldn’t stop eating it; I probably had 3 plates of it.

Love this window seat. But it got hot towards the end of our breakfast.

9.30 am: After breakfast, we decided to head to the pool. But, along the way, we spotted a vacant table for table tennis. Being a huge lover of the game (we call it pingpong here), hubby and his friends played for a good half an hour.

Table tennis championship

10.00 am: Realising that the Stand-up Surfing is ending soon at 11 am, hubby and I made our way to our room to change into our swimming attire and keep our valuables in the safe.

10.10 am: Submitted our NRIC at the Guest Services desk at Deck 5 because we didn’t do so when we entered the ship.

10.15 am: Went to FlowRider at Deck 13. There was a line at the registration where we waited for about 10 mins. We gave our Seapass and were given a wristband. PS: This is a free activity, so don’t miss it if you are an adrenaline junkie!

10.30 am: Just as we were done with registration, there was an announcement that Stand-Up Surfing line is already closed, and Boogie Boarding line is now open. Hubby missed his chance to surf. So, both of us lined up at the Boogie Boarding and watched people trying out the Stand-Up Surfing.

11 am: Stand Up Surfing officially ends; Boogie Boarding officially starts. I was so sad that I didn’t bring GoPro to record our attempt at Boogie Boarding. I had a tough time trying to maneuvre the board while hubby had a great time. He probably spent about 15 minutes on the board, while I spent maybe 5 mins. Tips: wear tight pants because the water pressure might blow your pants off. Mine almost came off.

Boogie boarding

11.45 am: Jacuzzi time at pool deck!

12.30 pm: Shower time!

1 pm: Lunch at Windjammer. Turned off by the long queue to enter the hall! Thankfully, the queue moved fast. By the time we sat down, I could see Penang already from the restaurant’s glass windows. Hurray!

2.30 pm:  After lunch, we went up to the pool deck to take photographs of Penang!

Did you spot Komtar (the tallest building in Penang)?

3.45 pm: Getting off the ship was really easy. Go down to Deck 4, exit the ship, scan the Seapass, that’s it! We took maybe 5 mins to get off the ship because majority people have already got off since 3 pm.

This is Swettenham pier, the place where the cruise is docked.

4.00 pm: Took a Grab car to Penang Hill Lower Station. It costs RM 20 for approximately 25 mins ride.

4.30 pm: We were shocked to see so many people at the entrance of Penang Hill Lower Station. But the ticket counter line was not that long, so we queued. The admission for Malaysians is cheaper than foreigners. I had to pay RM 30 for the cable car return ticket, while hubby only paid RM 10. The short queue lasted for 30 mins, ZZZ!

Admission fees for Penang Hill

5 pm: Here comes the cable car, or so we thought! We showed our tickets to the cable car staff. For the second time, we were shocked to see the long queue to ride the cable car. Oh, man! Waiting game part 2.

5.35 pm: This is it! We finally boarded the cable car, only to be squeezed left and right.

The cable car is finally here. They will pack as many people as possible in the car.

5.40 pm: Arrived at Penang Hill Upper station. We were shocked to see the long queue of people waiting to board the cable car back to Lower station. “It’s quite late now, almost 6 pm. I guess the queue will get shorter when we want to go back. For now, I should just enjoy the fresh air and the view!” I told myself.

I really like this view. The track of the cable car.

From Penang Hill, we still could spot our cruise!

Photo spots for lovebirds

There are many photo spots for lovebirds

Yeah, at Penang Hill, you can see clouds below you

Penang Hill is huge. We didn’t have enough time to explore.

I have to disagree

6.30 pm: Finished sightseeing. Shocked to see the queue for the cable car got longer. We joined the queue and it was hardly moving. Waiting game part 3! I predicted we’d need to queue for at least 2 hour. So, we’d probably get to the cable car by 9 pm. By taking a taxi, we’d arrive back at the ship at 10 pm. Just nice, right? But our guts are telling us that we’d be nuts if we were to wait.

7 pm: Enough is enough. We have waited for 30 mins, but the line has moved only about 30 meters. At this point, we would pay anything to get back down the hill. Hubby went to the ticket counter to purchase new express one-way tickets. The staff told him that he doesn’t need to buy new tickets, he can simply upgrade the original tickets by paying RM 20 per person. Yay, we were so happy that we literally ran to the express lane.

If you want to upgrade your ticket to express ticket, get it here.

7.30 pm: Cable car is here!

7.35 pm: Alighted from the cable car. Walked to the ticket counter to pay the upgrade fees. But, there was nobody at the counter. We were told that the staff went for a toilet break. We waited and waited. Another load of cable car arrived. Finally, the staff came back! He took such a long toilet break of at least 10 mins, we thought he went home!

7.45 pm: I booked Grab while waiting for my turn. It says RM 33, 16 mins. Ok, I’d pay anything to get back. 16 mins are not too long.

8 pm: We’re waiting at the entrance of Penang Hill Lower station, but the car still hasn’t come. Another 12 mins?? Fine, we’ll wait. Waiting game part 4.

8.15 pm: Still another 10 mins? This is getting too unbearable. I cancelled the booking. We got in a taxi for a fixed price of RM 40. The taxi left immediately.

8.45 pm: We’re home, baby! So happy to come back to our ship. It’s been a long long day.

Hey, ship! It’s really nice to see you! We miss you! A LOT!

9 pm: We were starving. Dinner at Windjammer. No queues because it was already late. It was easy to find a table at this timing. Food was still abundant.

9.30 pm: Quickly went to La Scala Theater at Deck 3 to get ready for the “Music in Pictures” show.

10 pm: The show started. It was a great performance by great singers and dancers. We didn’t know much of the songs, though.

Music in Pictures

11 pm: After a tiring day, we called it a day.

7 am: Yay, we got up early today because we wanted to see the sunrise. We went up to the pool deck. Oh, no, it was raining really hard! There goes our sunrise. Guess, we can’t jog and swim either. So, we hung out around the pool, watching the rain. Hubby chit-chatted with his colleague.

No sunrise. But this was so beautiful!

7.30 am: I told hubby I needed a cup of coffee. We went to Cafe Promenade to get a cup. I read and re-read the Cruise Compass for the day. It suddenly hit me: There are 3 places to eat breakfast, namely Cafe Promenade (casual dining), Windjammer (buffet) and Dining Room. Where is this Dining Room? Is it the Sapphire Dining Room? Why isn’t there a $ sign behind the restaurant name? Does it mean, it’s free? I told hubby, we should totally check this out.

8 am: We went to the Dining Room, minutes after they opened. Shortly after, we found ourselves sitting in a luxurious dining hall. Yes, it is Sapphire Dining Room. Yes, it is free. We were so excited. We ordered our food, took fruits and granolas from the salad bar, captured plenty of photos. Unfortunately, our waiter didn’t wake up on the right side of the bed that day. He was rude. I wish there’s a feedback form but there wasn’t. Anyway, we loved Dining Hall breakfast so much, we wanted to come back for lunch too.

Trying to decide what to order

Breakfast menu at Dining Hall. We thought we could only order 1 from each category. We were so wrong.

Our breakfast

This salmon platter is so good, we ordered another serving!

Yoghurt at salad bar if you’re keen

9.30 am: Still wanting to try Stand-Up Surfing, we went up to Pool Deck to check the weather. Unfortunately, the rain was still heavy. FlowRider was closed.

10.30 am: Found an awesome spot at Deck 12. There was a lounge where you can sit down and relax while overlooking the pool. You don’t need to buy any drinks. It was such a great place to cool down and contemplate.

The lounge at Deck 12 that not many people know about

11.30 am: Lunch at the Dining Room. Yes, we had finished our breakfast just 2 hours ago. Yes, the food is awesome! Our waiter is fantastic. It was one of the best dining experience throughout the 4 days. I especially love the sugar-free dessert.

I love this lunch so much. The waiter gave me two plates of steak (medium well and well done) in case my original order (medium well) doesn’t suit my tastebud. He was right. I returned my original order and ate the second plate instead.

I love the sugar-free cake (leftmost) so much I ordered another serving for my hubby cos I didn’t want to share.

1.30 pm: Rest

2 pm: Rock climbing time! It was challenging for both of us! It’s a free activity but you need to bring your own socks. Shoes will be provided. They use automatic belay, so there isn’t anyone on the ground who’s holding your rope to support you when you jump down. I really like auto belay because I don’t have to feel scared whether the belayer is strong enough to hold my weight, and I could take all the time in the world to climb.

3 pm: Running time! I started my run at Deck 12, on the outdoor dedicated running track. Too bad, the weather was too hot. I stopped a couple of time and had to ask for iced cold water from the bar (it’s free). Then, I continued with another 30 mins run on a treadmill in the Vitality fitness center at Deck 11.

4.20 pm: Done with running, I enjoyed the jacuzzi in the fitness center. It was not crowded because it’s an adult-only jacuzzi. Then, sauna! There was also a steam room but it was too hot so I didn’t use it. Both sauna and steam are located in the ladies. Gents have their own too.

5 pm: Collected my passport from the elevator lobby of my deck. Shower.

5:30 pm: Dinner at Sapphire Dining Room. Sat in the same table. Met the same unhappy waiter. Didn’t stay long because we were rushing to the magic show.

I almost laughed at my own dinner. 4 prawns and mashed potato!

6.30 pm: Went to La Scala Theater at Deck 3 one hour before the scheduled performance because we wanted to sit at the front row.

7:30 pm: John Taylor, Australia illusionist, show officially started. There was a couple of nerve-breaking tricks that almost made my heart stop beating.

This trick is too scary.

8.30 pm: Rest.

9:30 pm: Late-night pizzas at Cafe Promenade because hubby’s colleague said they had a great cheese pizza. And he was right!

10.00 pm: Packing.

11.00 pm: Sleep.

6.30 am: We woke up early for our final breakfast at our favourite place, the Dining Room. The breakfast starts pretty early on the last day. As we sat down on our seat, WhatsApp messages started to flood my phone. “Oh no, we have signal now, that means we are back in Singapore, that means the holiday is over!”

Fruity granola!

The classic: fried eggs with hash brown, bacon, sausage

Our final breakfast on the cruise

8.30 am: Done with our breakfast, we went up to the outdoor deck to take a couple of final photos.

A couple of final photos before leaving the ship

That was Marina Bay Sands on the right

Hello, Singapore

10 am: Sad to leave but we had to. As we got off the ship, we saw the next incoming passengers entering the ship. Wow, they were early!

We’ll miss you, ship.

What I wish I knew

1. I wish I knew that we could check in as early as 10.45 am. I wish I took a full day leave on departure day instead of half day leave so that I could enjoy the lunch and explore the ship without the crowd.

2. I wish I knew that I won’t be able to do all of the activities , so I could prioritise the activities that I really like instead of going to every activity. We missed out the skating course (because we were queueing for boogie boarding on day 2 and we were watching the magic show on day 3) and stand up surfing (because we spent too much time at table tennis and the weather on day 3 was terrible so surfing was cancelled). But it’s okay, we’ve moved on.

3. I wish I knew that Studio B at Deck 3 gets full easily. If I did, I would’ve arrived earlier on Day 1 to catch the first show of Ice Odyssey.

4. I wish I knew that the Dining Room serves great breakfast and lunch. We only found out that it’s possible to have breakfast and lunch at Dining Room on Day 3 and that’s too late.

5. I wish I knew that you could order unlimited food in the Dining Room.  We didn’t know, so we ordered only 1 dish from each section. Our waiters for the first dinner and first breakfast were so rude, they didn’t bother to ask us whether we wanted another serving or other food on the menu.

6. I wish I knew that Penang Hill would be so crazy crowded on weekends. I should have just explored the city Georgetown on foot, avoid visiting new places I’m not familiar with, like Penang Hill, and eating my favourite Char Kway Teow instead.

I hope you avoid making the same mistakes as me 🙂

Tips for Cruising with Kids

I don’t have a kid yet when I went on this cruise, so I ask my friends, who took the cruise with their children, for tips. Here are their tips:

• Generally the kids enjoy the cruise food, but it’s wise to bring some snacks.
• Bring medicated oil and medicine, especially for sea sickness, fever, flu and cough.
• The kids love pool. So, remember to bring swimsuit and sunblock.
• If your kids still drink milk, do not forget to bring thermos.
• Jacket is really useful to keep the kids warm when the temperature drops.

Did I enjoy it?

I absolutely enjoy my first cruise. It was a great alternative to my usual independent travel style. Do I want to go on the same cruise again? Nope. I would rather go on a cruise that allows me to visit places I’ve never been to. Well, unless it’s a company trip, of course 🙂

If you like my work, you can buy me a coffee! Your support will help me to keep going!

Thank you for great and very detailed writing, Eva! I'm amazed that you're able to remember minutes by minutes detail.

Hi Eva, Great blog! Did you experience sea sickness? How much time does one spend in their rooms? Is 'Interior' room good enough or a balcony is recommended?

Hi Raghu, I didn't experience sea sickness, but each person may have different reaction to sea sickness. I suggest that you bring a medicine for sea sickness. For me, the interior room is good enough because there's only two of us and we spend a lot of time outside the room. There are too many things to do on the cruise! If you have the budget for balcony and you'd love some quiet moment, go for it! Otherwise, interior room is good enough.
