2nd Sep(Wed) It's Cruise day!! still doing some last min packing.. finding my sun block for the whole early noon... ended up Giving up~ till 3+ finally he ended work... and took a cab to Habour Front!!
Long queue over there~ as lots of pple are also anxious over it i guess~ snap his pic with the SNEAKILY with the "penguin" which everybody get to photograph by the photographer~ cuz wanting us to pay! though they said NO CAMs, but dun care~ =p
checking in~~ with our key card checking out our room with balcony over the higest deck~~ not as big as we tot~ but with the balcony view sure its nice~ =)
threw all our barangs~ headed out to walk and explore around the whole ship~~ pics~ pics and more pics~ =)
after that headed to have our buffet dinner at one of the "free dines" the food is not as fantastic as we tot over at this "Medditarrian Terrace" though it is stated as "international buffet" but half of it is actually indian food. cuz 1/2 of the ship was filled with Indians~ =x n i guess 1/4 filled with caucusian while another 1/4 filled with Chinese. in btw there's this lady selling shows~ Cost us $50/person Las Vegas Topless Show - "Love Bites" though exp, decided to get it as since she mention its dunnoe how long then will come and perform 1 time basis.
after dinner headed back to the room and for a pour of water~ while chosing no. for the night Lottery~~ Get fresh~ and headed to walk around again to check out the spas offers, as the Lottery tic can only be bought at 9pm when the ship is out in the deep sea~ In btw, headed to visit the Casino~ and also bought Bingo Tics~ Jackpot Jackpot n more Jackpot~ No luck~ =(
By 9, the lottery area was filled with pple~ and so was the lounge for Bingo~ headed to quickly find a nice spot while he went to queue for the lottery~ after eveything, we just wasted our 50$ for the nite~ sad... but nevertheless, enjoyed the emcees and fun game of Bingo~ Try again tml nite den~
headed back to Casino of cuz to try our luck once again~ luck was on n off till we win 500~sgd! had a walk at the roulette area.. tried 2 times heavy bet 100 per bet.. but was bad... after which i stayed on watching finding nice wheel while he went to look for other games... less than 10min... met up again~ tried Big Sml. Lousy luck over it... end up lost $500! n who noes actually the previous 500 was also lost within that 10 mins! Good Job... Went back to watch Angel and Demon for a while~ The quality really sucks.. nearly 12 head to the supper buffet~ had his 1st wish for the year~ w/ *2 mini cakes

Nap thru our journey back to the big ship~ As almost everybody from had headed to Redang / Langkawi, the whole ship felt empty~ Casino was close so that pple would get out of the ship~ headed for the swimming pool directly~ Deep ourself under the hot sun~ tried the Long Fast Slide~ make me feel im back to Fantasy Island in Sentosa~ Tried the Jacuzzi ~ den the indoor spa~ and sauna~ as the sun was not very shiny~ therefore no tanning require.. head back to the room to get ourself prepare for bday dinner~
Receive a bday card wishes at our door~ with compliment birthday cake~ Thank you star cruise~! Called them and ask them to deliver it to the Jap Restaurant~ After preparing n make up~ shoot ourself again~
After looking at the menu, decided to have the cake to deliver it to our roomy~ the most exp set for 2 is 199/person~ decided to have an individual diff set so that we can try more kinds of dishes~ Gt a Wagyu Beef Set~ & Jumbo Prawn Set. + a soft shell crab maki~
All I can say was the Dinner was really a fantastic one~ really worth the money we are paying for~ even the appetizer is really good~ all worth $130 over~ Thank You StarCruise for the dining credits~~

and we too head back after a long day~ **wishing Happy Birthday every min when i suddenly remember~
Last Day~ 4Sep (Fri) Tried to wake up earlier to catch breakfast~ headed out for dim sum breakfast @ Bella Vista~ So so only~ Wanted to head to the Casino but was close as we are already turning back to SG~ Head to buy Bingo and Lottery again~ This time round we are earlier and the lounge was having a game of "Who wants to be a Millionaire" Some of the question was really diff. while some are as lame as "What no. am i think right now?" N so the host will just accidentally mention o am think about no. 7. -.- kinda funny~ o something i have to mention. i think the cruise are lack of crew. we saw many crew having diff roles. one of them was the host for the bingo~ and he had to also be the host at Redang to entertain us~ selling lottery tic, ushering e way~ at least 4 roles~ kinda funny to see him again, again and again like diff person. Didnt win in the bingo again though im waiting less than 3 no.! =( after tat, went to took more pics again den to buy our photos~ checkout and make payment b4 returning to our room for a tiny bit of rest and was being chase out of the room by 1pm. Can go anywhere far with our barangs with us~ even the restaurants was packed with many pple. Found a sit n rest there for almost an hours b4 letting us out of the big cruise~
Bye Star Cruise~ Thanks for the nice experience after 10 over yrs~ Dont think we will be back again as U r too exp. Prolly if there is a free trip or next time with my kids~ =)
