I was there twice but traveling on business both times. We typically took a taxi (expense report 😁) and only used the MRT a few times. I don't remember exactly but I think we just bought single trip tickets. My last time there was in 2016 and I don't remember there being an option to tap a card at the time. I'm sure that option must exist now.

We visited the St. Marys historic downtown area shortly after moving here. Not much there, other than a few historic homes and the ferry to Cumberland Island (which we've still not done...on the list). If we are lucky, we can see a sub sailing in or out to sea at the northern end of our island, in the St. Marys River. I say lucky because they don't announce when this happens...you just have to be at the State Park there at the right time. I've been told that boaters on that part of the river will occassionally be told (not asked) to temporarily move out of the area without explanation, although everyone knows what that means.

I'll add that Singapore is very expensive. Like London, but it seemed more expensive to me. If you can find a reasonably priced room at Marina Bay Sands, go for it. Otherwise, definitely go up to the MBS roof, have a drink or even dinner, and enjoy the view. I agree with Gardens by the Bay...nice area, and also dinner at Clarke Quay. If you're into shopping, Orchard Road has everything. A few other touristy things to do...I enjoyed riding on the Singapore Flyer. It's like the London Eye but a little taller. Get your picture taken so that it looks like the water from the Merlion is going into your mouth. Kind of like holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa. And get a Singapore Sling at the Long Bar in the Raffles Hotel where it was invented.

We should figure out some way to organize ourselves on this issue, to increase the chances that they will actually do something. A bunch of individuals complaining doesn't seem to have any effect. We've complained in the past on the post cruise survey and I've heard others say that they've done so also. At a minimum, the high volume level eliminates the enjoyment of the event. Micheline has to actually leave (although she hadn't cruised with her Loop earplugs yet). Worst case, they are causing hearing damage.

Love The Patio. Great food, usually good live music, and a nice casual atmosphere. It has become very popular and hard to get in without reservations. We eat at the Salty Pelican a lot and enjoy the upstairs area for the sunset views over the marsh/Amelia River. You may have forgotten to post your photo, so here's one of ours. The sky was lit spectacularly. There was a replica of the Santa Maria at the marina that's partially blocking the view.

Are they limiting the number of lobster tails that you can get? -
Looking great! We want that exact style of refrigerator with adjustable temp middle drawer, but with the ice maker in the freezer section to avoid issues with it being located in the higher temp fridge section. We can't find anyone who makes that. Depending on how much dust was generated, you might also consider getting your air ducts cleaned. Made a big difference for us after our kitchen remodel in Ohio.
