[kuantoh] On Board Royal Caribbean Voyager of the Seas 26-05-2012

[kuantoh]

First ever cruise journey. Always thought cruise was going to be boring. Recommended by relatives to try out Royal Caribbean and so together with another couple, we tried out the Royal Caribbean Voyager of the Seas. First ever sail to Singapore, I was amazed by how grand the interior was. But then again, being an active hiker and backpacker in the past, I felt bored by the lack of land activities after the 2nd day. But food was amazingly fantastic, especially the fine dining. The beef was super delicious.

Sharing the journey throughout the 4D3N cruise from 26th May 2012. For those who intend to sail on board this cruiser, probably January will be the next timeslot available.

#1 - The Marina Bay Cruise Center

We 2 kiasu couples were the first 100 to make it to the cruise center and some of the few to check in on board so it was pretty empty at 1400 hours. The crowd started to board soon after that and thereafter, it was people mountain people sea... Lol...

It was my virgin experience too. Just my personal opinion: if u like slacking and doing nothing except eat sleep swim relax suntan and gamble, cruise is a good place to getaway. For me, probably with all the walking and roaming the past years, I just feel that cruise is a bit restrictive or rather confined. Nevertheless, we still have a good time.

The package was $679 per pax for 4D3N. Full board, so everywhere on board dining is free except for specialty dining. Free flow lemonade and fine dining etc. Pay a small amt for alchoholic drinks, and they do have daily drink of the day such as margarita etc. The shows were quite good and food was fantastic. Since I never tried Star Cruise or other cruises, it was overall still a great experience for me. But I reckon I will stay away from cruising for the next few years. Lol...

#12 - The fiery eye sunset on that day before we sail off.

#13 - The conference center. One can actually reserve conference rooms for private meetings or discussions here.
