Well I wanted to write about this for like 2 months now, but somehow studies and work this quarter have been taking more time than I would like, so kinda go delayed.
I had the wonderful opportunity of taking the first cruise of my life with Mom and Dad this Summer. We went on the huge Super Star Virgo for a 2 and half day cruise from Singapore, it was one of the no-where cruise, so effectively we just went on a long journey in the ocean and came back to Singapore. We did go to the beautiful island of Palau Redang during the cruise.
Coming to the cruise, the first thing that actually hits you is the actual size of the ship, I have seen big ships before at Alang and so, but actually seeing one so close by and then entering it is something totally different. So after entering this Huge, White, Majestic Ship we were assigned our rooms.
One thing totally different in a cruise vacation is that it generally includes all the meals and also entertainment options in the package. So we had the whole ship with a plethora of activities from a swimming pool with water slides to a discotheque. And to add to them 6 meals a day !! Yes 6 meals, starting from morning / bed tea, breakfast, lunch, evening snack, dinner and midnight snack. So it was like eat, have fun, eat again and have fun again. And the cycle goes on till the time you actually finish off the cruise. Also not to be missed are the excursions, like ours to Palau Redang, from disembarking the ship in the middle of the ocean into transit boats to exploring a pristine beach with the whitest sand and the clearest water I have ever seen, the whole experience is more than awesome. Also something not to be missed on the cruise is watching the Sun set and the Sun rise, seeing the Sun set and rise on the horizon in the water is really beautiful.
Coming back after the Cruise experience, I would recommend it to everyone. Its one of the most luxurious options for a vacation, and totally worth the money they charge, considering the five star ambience along with the fabulous meals... Everyone needs to go on a Cruise once to actually fall in love with the experience. I have decided to go on a much longer cruise on the next available opportunity !!!
