Itinerary: Orient
EXCELLENT !!! cruised for 2 weeks from Phuket Thailand to
Singapore via Malacca, Port Klang for KL, Langkawi, Penang and Singapore.
Well appointed, comfortable, wonderful service, great food, friendly staff
and crew. We would go again.
Plenty of space, lots of tables and chairs to sit informally
on deck or in the bars - waitress service. Galaxy of Stars entertainment
area good - but the tables and chairs are fixed to the floor which makes
maneuvering around fun... watching people trying to move them ! Swimming
pool and Jacuzzis big enough to be good.
Ocean Palace ( restaurant) "Top Notch" - attentive service
and good portions. We were there for Christmas and the buffet excelled
itself ! the formal dinners are very nice ( thursday / Saturday ) but we
enjoyed the Ocean Palace for lunch best and on board buffet in the Mariners
Buffet for evenings.. Monday night is asian night - loved the Laksa soup.
Very well appointed- lots of storage space..bathroom and
toilet..flowers in room every night and turn down bed with chocolates. Ice
in bucket every afternoon. Lots of space for 2 per cabin. We had a cabin on
deck 3 inside for 2 weeks and it was very comfortable. Some engine noise -
we missed it on returning home !
Not really into the entertainment - but it was good and well
done. The staff review night produced acts better than the cabaret staff !
Cruise entertainer "Colin" very funny ! Good if you like that sort of
thing - it is there if you want it.
Shore excursions well worth it in Penang ( temples and gardens )
and KL as entrance to tower is included but not worth it in Phuket - better
getting a taxi to where you want to go. Port Klang is stopped at about 3
times a week and is BORING and not really worth getting off the ship for.
Singapore is great - again taxi or metro is easier. Langkawi trip is really
worth it though ( c. 55S$) wonderful scenery and a great lunch. Penang is
easy to do on your own too - Batu Feringhi beach is BEAUTIFUL and had good
shopping - we found it cheaper than Patong ! ( but we haggled well !)
Very international - lots of Australian, British, Asian. A nice
mix of interesting people. As people join the ship in Phuket, KL and
Singapore it is a constant mixture of new and existing passengers. We met
some really nice people !
