Cruise!


Legend of the Sea by Royal Caribbean!









i m just back from my cruise holiday and i must say it was so enjoyable and relaxing. its the kind of Holiday where you can just sit around, watch the sea with a cocktail in ur hand and just relax. not like the usual tour where we rush from place to place. the food on the cruise is damn good. i have been eating non stop for the whole trip! and the service was excellent, the staff were super friendly. let me show you around the boat..








this the highest deck on the ship.. where they have benches all over for people to just chill out sit around and enjoy the spectacular view of the sky n sea.. especially sunrise n sun set. and at night you can just lie back and watch the stars..



this is the outdoor pool n Jacuzzi with a bar at the side.. its not very big thou.. that's where they hold their pool parties.




this the indoor one, ideal for people who wants to swim but not get too tanned.. like me! haha.. then they have this round the clock snack bar there.. pizzas, burgers, hot dogs, fries... round the clock!



this is inside the ship.. the centrum where they always have live music..



Casino Royale! well, everything you play here is in USD. damn ex.. i guess that's why the ship is so freaking rich!










and that's my room. shared a room with my bro.. the room has a sofa and dressing table as well.. not big but good enough.. at least not those double decker bed type that we always use to take when we go cruise. there are so many more nice places on the cruise.. too many if i put it all here!





on the cruise most of the time we are just eating. cus the food is so freaking good. cant resist. they have breakfast, lunch, tea break, dinner, supper, late night snacks.. No break at all! its crazy.. so will jus blog about the more interesting stuff.. hahas..


Fine Dining! if you think we have just buffet all the way you are wrong! on the cruise they have fine dining every night and we got to dress up for dinner.. the food and service is soooo good. we had a table to ourselves and they had 2 waiters to a table. and we can order anything we want on the menu and any amount.



they actually have stuff like escargot on their menu.. it was soo good.. i had 2 serving of it. irresistible!






and what i look forward to most is the desert.. they serve really interesting desert, not the usual ones you get in the restaurants.. most of them are Italian dessert i guess.. very unique and nice presentation..







there is this mini golf range on board.. its kinda a kids thing but it turn out pretty fun.. they have rock climbing as well, but i dint try..



chill out.. cocktail service is available almost everywhere but you got to pay for it.. prob the only few things you need to pay for.. but its still really cheap.. drink of the day usually cost only 4.95USD.
oh, the cruise has a library.. and being an intellectual and sophisticated person i would have definitely patronised it.. haha.. the collection is pretty small.. but the library is v cosy..


Jacuzzi.. and what's even better.. indoor jacuzzi! no sweat and we are protected from all that harmful UV rays!








and you must must not miss the sun set.. see the sun set against the horizon.. its breath taking.. its kinda sad i nv wake up early enough to catch the sunrise..

the breakfast on board is so good.. although i miss sunrise. i never missed a single breakfast.. yummy..

the 2 things i definably have on my plate.. bagel and bacon! u can imagine the amount of fats i have now..

the house keeping service is really commendable.. they make your room TWICE a day and they always bring you little surprises like folding a towel animal. makes me smile all the time.. and they are super cute! we had a dog n elephant! my parents got swans.




there was this day where we stopped over at Penang.. we signed up for a tour.. the tour was damn boring..the so called shopping tour was crap.. all we went was batik factory and those traditional snack stall.. but we stopped over at a foor centre.. and the food there was FANTABULOUS! my favourite- Penang char kway teow.. its so so so much better than what we have here..




you can see the sense of satisfaction on our faces!



and every night there is different performances like magic shows, acrobats, sing n dance n all.. really impressive and entertaining.. there are like just so much to tell.. i got to blog the whole night.. but its been a long time since i had such a relaxing holiday and it was great cus we got to spend quality family time together :)
