Holiday on Cruise@Superstar Virgo

I had spent my three days holidays on the Superstar Virgo last week. As understand from my friend, Supercruise Virgo is the biggest ship compared to Gemini, Leo etc. Wow, it was really really big....! It supposed to be such a great & excited trip but end up with quite boring as nothing much you can do except gambling & eating.

Nothing much we can do on the first day as we checked-in at 6.30pm from the Harbourfront Centre. After settled down with our luggage & baggage, we went for the dinner which offered by the cruise. It was chinese cuisine with five course of foods included Ginseng with Sharkfin soup, roasted pork, vege, Patin with Asam style & dessert. The foods tasted not bad but not delicious. Followed by was our Karaoke section. It was chargeable per hour with complimentary of bir & some snacks but we changed the bir to 'Ice Lemon Tea' coz none of us were drinking bir. Funny..

Stew & I woke up at 6.30am the next day to catch up with a good view on the sunrise! We went to the top of the ship, it was so cold & windy. We both were feeling like freezy & shaking... Until about 8am, we went back to room & continue our sleep. hahaha.....too tired! There were no special actitity on the second day. However, Stew & my friend went to Casino for a lucky game...my friend lost more than S$5k while Stew lost about S$100 (all expenses were dealed inside the cruise is either US$ or S$, MYR is not acceptable at all). No winner for this trip!

My friend & his wife suggested to go swimming afterward. So, we just swam for a while. Later, we had our afternoon nap outside the deck (which you can have a good view on the ocean) since nothing to do. It was a windy day......We both were so relaxing & enjoyed our nap there till the dinner time. It was BBQ Buffet dinner nearby the poolside. Wow....so many people, so crowded!! Finally, we've got a table for our dinner!

Till the next morning, it was already 9.30am when we all woke up. We will be checking-out at 11am. No more breakfast for us (the breakfast time was 6am-10am). With no choice, we had our breakfast at a 'chargeable' restaurant. A noodle cost about S$9.50 excluded government tax & service tax. Kinda expensive.... About 11am, everybody (only guests with redemable point) awaited at a hall & to be going off from the cruise. For those VIP will be checked-out directly from the lobby.

Eventually, it is a good & relaxing trip to me. But if it is for those senior people & family with children, I believe it will be more fun as children can enjoy themselve by playing games, swimming, playing golf etc while senior people can go for dancing, of course gambling! However, for those who never experience on cruising, you should go for it at least once. So relaxing..... !!!
