Cruise to No Where!!

11.09.2008 | | 0 comments

So a bunch of friends went crazy and wanted to go gambling.. we couldn't obviously to go Genting because it was like a 7 hour drive away.. best alternative? Cruise!!

We took a jetty from a station, which seemed like the other end of Singapore and bought our incredibly cheap tickets!

SGD 12 per person

SGD 40 per cabin - 2pax, 3pax or 4pax
All you can eat buffet - Super, Bfast & Lunch
Location: Off Shore of Nongsang, Indo

The plan was to board at 8.20pm aboard a smaller boat which will take us to the huge ship.. i would tell you the name of the boat, if i could read Chinese.. plus it was night time and i couldn't really see.. I was feeling seasick the whole time, i nearly through-up, i swear! Luckily my friend suggested we sit outside on the deck.. Now why didn't i think of that? hmpf!


That's me, with the round earring :D Enjoying the breeze of the night.. So then we finally reach the ship.. It was this huge, very elegantly decorated ship, very well organised too! We got our room cards and threw our stuff and ourselves on the bed!! Its so soft i tell you.. I came close to steeling the comforters and pillows.. hehe.. kidding.. but i did think about it.. :D




Seeing that there were many hungry people among us, we rushed off to the buffet.. And the amount of food.. my goodness.. i think i became fat by just 3 meals! They had all, ALL, the local cuisines and snacks, western delights, drinks, desserts.. soups.. what else? Our table, was smothering with food i tell you.. and with the price we paid? it was well worth it..



Ok, this was after the waiter cleared our main course.. hehe.. After the munching and the chewing, it would only be fair to our bodies and minds! to go for a walk.. Some headed to the casino, no cameras allowed there and the rest of us just went round exploring the ship.. We had some cocktails and sang a few numbers before heading to bed..


I lay my head down to sleep, secretly anxious to look around when morning comes.. We reached the ship quite late and couldn't really see anything, except for of course this huge black "something" surrounding us! Plus, i was excited to see what they had for us at the breakfast buffet!

So morning came and i rushed out on deck to find this huge, blue, kinda scary but totally beautiful view.. Bare in mind this was my first cruise so i was entitled to go a little nuts..


We had our breakfast and lunch, by which time i had put down my camera and just enjoyed the view and being with my friends.. We were given 2 options.. either to board the speed at 2pm or 4pm, of course we got on the 4pm ride out.. mind you me, i sat on the deck the whole time this time, even though it was really really hot!

Oh, and i almost forgot, for those of you who smoke? Dont forget to get your taste of Indonesian ciggies at duty free prices.. my friends became dragons on the ship! If i were a smoker, for SGD2, I'm sure i would have been the mother of dragons :D



Please do not try to even sneak-in any ciggies into Singapore coz you will be heavily fined! If you still wish to do so, walk-in the red line and declare them.. You will be taxed, of course :)

I had a great time and would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a romantic night out, just hanging out with your friends or even for first timer experience.. Money and time well spent, memories gained and totally worth it! :)

p/s: Dont forget your passports!

Look at the Map, Where have You Been?
