Cruise!

I'm back and finally updating!

I really miss taking the cruise. Once I got back, the first thing I thought about was HOMEWORK! I am really stressed up!


Well, the itinery for the cruise.


1st day: Reported at Harbourfront to board Superstar Aquarius, had lunch at Dynasty restaurant (table 62!). Walked around the ship taking pictures of the scenery around Harbourfront and attended some tour talk for the next day. Dinner was at Spices restaurant, a buffet styled restaurant. Entertainment at the Stardust lounge, showing "The Journey of Cheng Ho" and boy it was great! :D Had a drink at the Aquarius lounge, then light supper at Mariners' before going to bed.

2nd day: Breakfast at Mariners' and went for a talk "Port Pointers for the trip to Penang and phuket". Lunch was at Dynasty again (table 62 again!) and we soon set off for the Penang "Shopping Galore" tour. We had to take a tender boat from the ship to Penang's port as the ship was too big to dock there. the tour brought us to Gurney Plaza, a local product shop and Prangin Mall, all for shopping! Went back to the ship before dinner at Oceana BBQ buffet. Entertainment at night was "Music Ensemble" by the musicians onboard.

3rd day: Breakfast at Mariners' and we prepared for the trip to Phuket. The ship docked at Phuket's port this time so it as much easier to transfer to the city. We went to Wang Talang, a shop specialising in jewellery and souvenirs, before heading to Patong Beach. Upon reaching Patong beach, my family took a tuk-tuk to Junceylon, a megamall, to shop and have lunch. There was a Robinson's, Carrefour, etc there and there was a Boot's store(haha!)! After shopping there, we went to Ocean plaza for last shopping moments before heading back to the ship. Dinner at Oceana BBQ again, and entertainment at night was "Crew Extravaganza", where the crew performed. I hav to say that the performance as really... disturbing. HAHA. The thought of that particular performance still irks me. HAHAHA

4th day: Did nothing much particularly on this day, only went to the activity centre onboard, played UNO, sudoku, and surfed the net. Lunch was at Blue Lagoon, and I love watermelon juice! :D There were more entertainment shows that day, like "Movie Mayhem" (love The Mask), "The weakest Link", etc. We stopped at Port Klang that night but didn't go down the ship. Dinner was at Dynasty with Chinese food served.

5th day: Breakfast at Dynasty (Chinese and Western menu) before walking around the ship, and we disembarked at around 12+pm. :D

Something I find really amusing
5 funniest questions asked onboard:

5. Does the ship generate its own electricity?
REPLY: "No, there is a giant plug in Singapore and the ship follows the wires back from Phuket to Singapore" :D haha

4. Do the crew stay onboard?
REPLY: "Haha, no, they take a boat back when you are sleeping and come back in the morning.":D

3. *Guest points at watermelon asking chef* "Is this vegetarian?" (THIS IS FUNNY).

2. (Forgotten)

1. Does the toilet bowl water taste salty and do you use seawater for flushing?
REPLY: "Why don't you dip your tongue in to try?" HAHAHA
