We booked oceanview cabins, the window is real huge, compared to other cruise line's oceanview.

170-square-foot stateroom provides a generous view of the ocean

Usually after I ensured that my cabin is ok, I will head for food.

Some light food before we go racky around the place. The first feel given to me was : "COMFORT".

Dinner time is approaching....

Sailing off now .... Singapore is getting smaller and smaller from my view.

After watching some show it's time for supper before we hit our pillows with a FULL stomach.

Day 2 : Woke up, opened my curtains and I saw these.

Oh, we are in Klang , this ship is reaching port soon.
We quickly had some light breakfast before we start our 4hrs excursion.

At port klang the ship is directly "parked" by the port so all passenger can just walk out of the ship.
There are taxis available here. Just go to the taxi counter and tell them your requirement and agree on the fare, off you may go.. not to worry about running into bad taxi drivers.

As we only have 4hrs, we decided to eat the famous port klang bak kut teh.

Indeed this BKT really taste great !!!
We decided to come back to the ship after food as we do not want to take the risk of being left behind.
Upon reaching the port, we discovered there is free wifi! We were all sky high .. not only us, there are more than 100 people there using the free wifi.

After resting in our cabin after boarding, it is time for food again.

We ordered everything on the menu and by sharing all we ordered, we managed to finish them.

With a heavy stomach, it is time to go for a walk before we watch show.

It's Phuket day!

Saw this upon drawing my curtain. the mother's nature is simply to enchanting.

My kaki got a higher category room, and she allow us to dine here on her behalf...

Phuket is reaching... we are so excited.

As the water is too shallow to "park" at the jetty, we must take queue number for our small boat that will send us to the jetty.

This is the captain of our speed boat, the drive is about 10minutes away.

Approaching the jetty...

I think this is Karon beach jetty if I remembered correctly. The view is stunning huh.

Took a big tuktuk, we went to the most popular and the nearest shopping mall at Patong : Jungceylon
The sun here is very x 100 hot, we decided to chill in the café for a drink.. eventually we ordered lunch... food again!
