Star cruising again!


Around this time last year, we went for star cruise named Gemini. The experiences of cruising was greats until we went another round of it but this time, we took cruise Libra. Cruise Libra is slightly bigger than cruise Gemini.
Some of you might be wondering what is so nice about cruising which has made me adventure it twice.... he he. Well, I personally feel relax to go cruise and have few good points in mind to share with you.
a) Cruise will embark at few places depends on the route you join. You could enjoy few hours of local trip at each destination.
b) No hassle of room checking in and out when you travel from one place to another. For instance, we departure from PK to Phuket and then to S’pore, but we still sleep in the same room.
c) They sail while you sleep, so you could save some traveling time. When you wake up the next day, you probably reach another destination. Amazing right?
d) They provide foods to all passengers. You don’t need to worry about your meals thus no headache to search for food. What you need to do is just walk in the restaurant after glance through their menu of the day. We were given 3 choices of venue to have our meal in the past 5D 4N cruise. From international buffet to Chinese and Western restaurant, go to any of the restaurant, your stomach will feel satisfy. Besides the 3 normal meals, we were also being served 2 tea breaks and 1 supper daily. So all of us just makan (eat), minum (drink) and tidur (sleep) there. What a relax life!
e) There are a lot of free activities being organizing from morning till night. You won’t feel bore. Standard facilities are also available for you to explore.
Feel interesting? Ha ha ha….. you may want to plan the same for your family. Here I posted some photos taken inside the cruise, don’t be surprised most of it were food. Tell you what, I’m truly madly and deeply missing the pasta. It’s sooooooooo yummy!

Now only I realized I didn't snap any food served by Chinese Restaurant :( , perhaps I was too hungry that time.
When we were at Harbourfront Terminal, S'pore, Virgo Star Cruise was parked beside us. We got the chance to view it for the first time. Comparing with Libra, Virgo is huge, awesome and astonishing. I told hubby this will be our target next year.
