  1. Hi TXCruiser10

     

    If you're on the Oosterdam leaving Rome on July 23, we might see you aboard. We will be travelling through Europe for a couple of weeks before the cruise and we have not for one minute, contemplated cancelling a trip that we have been planning and looking forward to for some time - but as others have said, it is a personal choice.

     

    I'm sure the cruise line will constantly monitor the landscape and will opt for alternative ports if safety is an issue.

     

    Hope to see you onboard !

  2. We are going to be on the Mariner of the Seas leaving Singapore Nov 5. I would like to know on formal night what do people normally wear?

    It seems these days people are not dressing up as much.

    Thanks for any input:)

    Hi ... I was just thinking the same thing as we are on the same cruise. Might see you on board. :)

  3. I'm not sure but you may not be able to get to the top of Marina Bay Sands unless your a guest of the hotel (or pay a fee).

     

    As far as food...take the MRT to Lau Pa Sat during the evening for their street B-B-Q...the best Satay ever...We actually went two nights during our pre-cruise (Mariner) stay this past March.

     

    Thanks Ashland for the tip on where to find the best Satay and the street BBQ. Worth checking out, we think :-)

  4. Thanks - it's certainly going to be difficult deciding on food options. I'm also researching the other ports of call so you may see questions in other threads relating to those from me. There is a wealth of knowledge on here and researching is half the fun. Thanks again. :)

  5. Hi Ilovecruising2

     

    Thanks for the heads up on where the Mariner of the Seas will be departing. Really appreciate your help and posting the video which gives us an idea on what to expect. We are looking forward to visiting your wonderful city.

     

    Cheers... Sherenne

  6. Thanks everyone for the great advice and ideas on what to do in Singapore. We will definitely take in Gardens by the Sea at night.

     

    Wangeling gal - Marina Bay Sands and a Singapore Sling from Raffles were on our list. Great minds think alike. :D Think we might have a problem though on deciding where to eat. :D

  7. Which hotel will you be staying at? Welcome to Singapore!

     

    Which ship and which cruise terminal? Yes, it should be possible to catch a train to the cruise terminal.

     

    If your ship is sailing from Marina Bay Cruise Center, this video would be useful. The MRT station can be seen at 4:00. The station is called Marina South Pier, on the North-South line. There is a slight walk to the cruise terminal, but the ground is flat, so you should be able to wheel your luggage easily.

    The other cruise terminal is at Harbourfront. There is also an MRT station there called Harbourfront.

     

    Hi Ilovecruising2

     

    Thanks for your help. We are staying at the V Hotel Lavender in Singapore and from what we have read, it says the Lavender MRT station is just below the hotel. Not sure what terminal our ship departs from. The only advice we have so far is that it departs Singapore? We are cruising with Royal Carribean on Mariner of the Seas departing Singapore on 5 November.

     

    We overnight in Singapore pre-cruise. Are there any night markets that you recommend? We were also thinking of going to the Gardens by the Sea for the night time light show and/or a cruise on a bum boat. Would you recommend doing this?

     

    Thanks again for your help.

  8. Thanks Widebay for starting this thread and to others who have taken time to post on here with ideas for places to visit in Singapore. We are doing a 7 day cruise from Singapore in November so your knowledge is invaluable for a first time visitor. We have a night pre cruise and a full day when we return before flying home in Singapore so this thread has given us a lot of options. Is it possible to catch a train to the cruise terminal. Our hotel is close to a MRT station so wondering if train is the easiest option to get to the port.

  9. TODAYS 1 DAY SALE!! Today's 1 day sale will see you flying to Singapore on the 21st January 2016 and staying 1nt pre cruise before embarking the Mariner of the Seas for your 4* full board cruise visiting Kuala Lumpar, Penang, Langkawi & Phuket (overnight) before disembarking back in Singapore for your flight back to Sydney, please call to add on additional nights or regional flights.

    We just recently purchased the same fly/cruise deal for $1050. Same cruise line and ship but it was for the cruise departing on 5 November from Singapore. Looking forward to it.

  10. On of the ladies on our roll call organised a trip from Akaroa to Arthurs Pass on our last cruise. The trip was organised through nzbicycletours.com

     

    You can also email them at bicycletours@xtra.co.nz

     

    Don't let the name put you off. They also do trips that are not bicycle related :D Our tour guide Brian did a fantastic job and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We certainly covered a few miles that day and saw some wonderful sights. One of the benefits I guess of having a 'local' as your tour guide.

     

    Hope you have fun down here and enjoy your cruise. :D
