Star Cruise SuperStar Libra

Another great experience for me and Phin Phin, we went for Cruise, SuperStar Libra from Star Cruise.. Vincent, Tammy, Phin Phin and me, together 4 persons.. Actually the schedule for this cruise will be at February 2010, but the travel agent called us to move our trip earlier in December 2009, and so we have chose to go Cruise on 17 Dec - 20 Dec.. Initially, my trip was Port Klang - Langkawi - Port Klang, and now was Port Klang - Langkawi - Singapore - Port Klang.. From 3 days 2 nights, changed to 4 days 3 nights, from Inside Stateroom upgrade to Oceanview Stateroom with Obstructed View, and without paying extra money.. It's really worth to join this cruise..

SuperStar Libra is the second large cruise from Star Cruise, where it has 10 decks, deck 1 from the bottom and Deck 10 is the higher deck.. Most of the activity and restaurant will be at Deck 4, Deck 5, Deck 9 and Deck 10.. And our room located at Deck 8, where it's easy to go around the activity venues, restaurants and pool side.. The room is even bigger than the room in HK..

Every passengers on board will get a card, where it has few functions and purposes, it can be the access card, it can be the room key and it also can be the cruise credit card, where every purchase during on board will be charge in the card and have to settle the bill before leave the cruise..

The first meal we have is dinner, there are 8 restaurants and bars, but only 3 restaurants was provided the buffet style, where can take as much as you like and order as much as you can.. And here is the Western Restaurant Four Season, located at Deck 4, they served western foods, which is pasta and steak meal..

After dinner, we went to casino, Phin Phin beloved Casino.. There are 3 casinos, opened for different "status" of people.. Club Royale for "Rich Man", min. bet per game SGD100.. Admiral Club for VIP, no chance to go in, because we are not VIPs, and Star Club for those common people like us, min. bet SGD5.. Just to test our luck, but within few minutes, SGD50 has gone.. Aiks...

Since the first day on board, we don't know they have prepare show for us, and we just stay in the cabin and playing mah jong.. Time almost 12 m.n., we went to Deck 9 for supper, they served fried mee, nuggets, fries, breads and pao..

The second day, me and Phin Phin wake up at 8.30am, just to have the breakfast.. And so we chose to have in Chinese Restaurant Ocean Palace, located at Deck 4.. They served Dim Sum, Pao and porridge for breakfast.. It's so delicious..

After our breakfast, cruise has reached Port at Langkawi, after bath, we disembark to Langkawi.. We have rent a small car, Kancil, just enough to fit in us.. Due to Public Holiday, the charges increase till RM90 for one Kancil.. It's damn expensive..

Then we went to Teow Soon Huat, to buy some chocolate, alcohol and cigarettes.. 4 of us has bought 4 liquors and 2x 5L Heineken Beer.. It's over to carry that much of alcohols, but the packaging for the Heineken was so nice, so we just bought it.. Since there have 2 hours left before to go back to cruise, we have a visit to "Underwater World Langkawi".. RM28 for adult and RM22 for student..

And here we saw the penguin, which I love the most, but the real penguin is so ugly compare to my lovely penguin doll.. Here they do have a good living habitats, and the most worth for this visit was, we saw penguin mating.. Firstly, they will shake their body then the male penguin will jump at the back of the female penguin, and they start mating, just 3 seconds of the progress.. So fast huh!!??

Here's some shots I took from the Aquarius using my sis's SLR Camera, but as a beginner, the photo is acceptable.. Hehe..

Luckily it's raining when we get back on board, the crews didn't check our bag, where we can bring in our alcohol safely back to our cabin.. We have pass for the first checking, the second checking is waiting for us at Port Klang.. No worries, if really tax us, just pay.. Since we went out to Langkawi, and we have missed the lunch time.. When we back it's almost 4pm, no choice, just to have the tea time at Deck 9.. Although they served with light cuisine, but it's tasty..

Wake up too early in the morning, and decided to have a nap before dinner time.. After a while, it's almost 7pm.. We have overslept.. Since we all are so full after the tea time, so we skip the dinner.. After bath, we went to Galaxy of the Star, for the Bingo Game.. 3 tickets for SGD12.50.. And can have a chance to win SGD10,000.. Just try our luck, but we only get 10 numbers out of 15 numbers..

Hehe.. Another happy moment for Phin Phin and Vincent, coz is time for them to casino, and also the boring time for me and Tammy.. Wait until 10.30pm, me and Tammy went to the Chocolate Party held at Galaxy of the Star.. Gosh.. It's so tempting.. Chocolate cheese cake, chocolate muffin, chocolate mousse cake, chocolate pudding and chocolate biscuit..

Third day on board, wake up at 8.30 in the morning, and today will try on the Western Breakfast at Four Season.. Western style served toast, muffin, egg, ham, cheese, hotdog, bacon, hash brown and bun.. It's delicious too..

After few hours, lunch time, we haven't digest for the breakfast, and now have to take lunch.. I'm damn full, but since I have paid for the tour, don't waste the chance to test the foods, just order a set of lunch with sup and main course.. Actually the main purpose for lunch is to take photo.. And here the photo for the food..


After lunch, Vincent went to casino again with Tammy, so me and Phin Phin went to pool side, waiting for the show from Magician, Charles Bach to performe "Underwater Escape", where lock the whole body with shackle and chain.. And Phin Phin has been choose to help to lock the shackle, so lucky.. Hehe.. After checking all the lock, Charles jumped into the water, after 2 and half minutes struggling in the water, Charles comes up without any shackle.. So amazing.. So many people surround the pool, but no one can see the flaw of this magic.. Anyway, it's a nice show, worth to see even it's raining..

After 13 hours navigation, we reached Singapore at 6pm.. We quickly take our passport from the crews and get down from cruise.. The period for us to stay at Singapore is only 2 and half hours, it's really not enough time to walk around.. So we just shopping around the shopping centre nearby Harbour Front, which is Vivo City, here with the nice christmas decoration, no wonder Malaysian like to celebrate in Singapore.. And here, Phin Phin get his Christmas Exchange Present..

When we back to cruise, it almost 9pm, we are so hungry and we went to Ocean Palace for our dinner, 1 appertizer, 4 main courses, 1 soup and 1 dessert.. How nice is it.. And this we are not enough, we have order another plate of prawn and 1 bowl of soup..

Finally, the last day for my trip, I woke up early 8am in the morning, and I found Phin Phin was not in the room, and there is only one possibility, which he at the casino.. After I prepared myself, I went to casino.. Huh!! They are really there.. Gamble till forget the day and time.. Then I faster pull Phin Phin out and asked him accompany me for breakfast.. And today we have our breakfast at the International Restaurant Mariners Buffet, where served pancake, hotdog, turkey ham, bread, hash brown, dim sum and porridge.. The chicken seafood porridge was so yummy, until now I can't forget the taste of it..


After breakfast, we went to Star Dust Lounge to collect our passport and settle our bill.. They won't give back the passport unless you settle the bill and return all the things you borrow from the cruise.. After all-and-all, we packed our things and leave the cabin at 11pm.. I disagree and dislike the way they give us disembark from the cruise.. All the passengers gather in one place and go out at the same time.. So messy and crowded.. Can't understand, why they arrange in such way..

After we get down from the cruise, felt so nervous, scare the custom check and tax us for the beer, but luckily they let us go.. This is the packaging of the beer..

And here, we have get another penguin baby.. A Star Cruise Penguin Baby! It's cute.. and I named it as "星星“..

It's really a wonderful trip for me, as first time go Cruise.. And I can describe my trip with "EUYD", which is "Eat Until You Die".. Provide 5 meals per day, breakfast, lunch, tea time, dinner and supper.. Although Phin Phin lose money in casino, but is okay, coz we already get extra day and tour from Star Cruise.. And my next target will be......................................... SuperStar Virgo..
