Before we embark the ship.

This is how the ship’s lobby looks like.

This is the cabin and the bed is smaller than a single sized bed.

This is the pathway in between the cabins.

You never get hungry when you are in the ship. They provide 6 free meals a day giving you 3 restaurants to choose from for each meal….Chinese, Western and Asian. The food wasn’t that great or special. If you dine in the Chinese and Western restaurants, they only serve set meal. Only one restaurant serves buffet. Imagine having thousand over passengers but only 3 restaurants to dine in. If you are late, you need to queue or take a queue number.  For those with children, they only have limited baby high chair.

Our first lunch in the ship.

If you do not want to die of boredom, participate in their activities, programmes, games and shows. Or else, stay in the cabin and enjoy movies marathon in Astro channels. There is a casino but you don’t have to dress in batik/jacket to enter. Too bad there isn’t any “A Night with Captain” or “Gala Dinner” in our trip, else we will be dressing up sexy and hot with Jonathan in his little tuxedo. All transaction in the ship is in Singapore Dollar. We hardly spend cause all meals are free and provided for. Most shows and programmes are free.

Some of the shows put up by the ship crews.

One of the games we participated in…Box or Bucks!

Overall I only give SuperStar Libra a rating of 6 out of 10 in terms of my expectation for a cruise holiday. The ship crews are friendly especially towards the children but generally the ship is not children friendly. They don’t have a playground for kids except for some board games available for rent. The restaurants don’t provide plastic utensils for children.

Nevertheless, it’s a good place for relaxing. You must know how to enjoy their facilities and participate in their programmes. My favourite spot is the upper most deck where I can see the horizon, sun set, sun rise and feel the strong wind. We are looking forward to a next cruise perhaps with SuperStar Virgo or an international cruise. Have to start saving for that now.

Have a nice weekend and I sure will.
