Rare uktog Posted July 31, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Just spent a week at the Ritz Carlton Millenia and loved it. Totally agree. Raffles is nice but you have to suffer the sightseeing groups trailing through. The Fullerton is also very good, but if the budget will do a Club room in the Ritz Carlton go for it. I agree, Sands is nice but again too full of sightseeing tourists and day pass holders Edited July 31, 2016 by uktog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted July 31, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Mary, it depends how much you want to pay. I've stayed at the Ritz Carlton before (loved it) and looked at that, the Raffles and Marina Bay Sands. The prices are way out there for December though. I've booked the Mandarin Marina for two nights at the beginning and two nights at the end. It is in a good spot near the Marina Bay/Ritz Carlton, gets good reviews and the price was pretty reasonable. Two friends of mine are staying there with me before we get to the ship. Who said party?;). You know it makes sense. Lol Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tv24 Posted July 31, 2016 #7 Share Posted July 31, 2016 We stayed at the Goodwood Park Hotel after a cruise. It's centrally-located, walking distance to shops, food & the subway, yet in a leafy green neighborhood. Old fashioned, yet very up-to-date. Cab ride to the airport was not so bad, same thing to the cruise port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Sands is nice but again too full of sightseeing tourists and day pass holders I found they would not let people in the main lobby to take pictures etc. to get to my room i had to go thru a locked gate. it is dec and the season so nothing is cheap.

Not correct, if you look. Two nights at the Mandarin Marina from £214. Two nights at the Raffles from £816. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Phil Agreed Phil, we stayed at the Marina Mandarin for a few days late last year on our way back from OZ, it is a very good hotel and placed very well for all the sights such as the Flower Domes at the Gardens by the Bay. There is also easy access to the very clean and cheap MRT if you want to travel further afield. Two other hotels we have stayed in pre cruise are the Conrad Millenium (nice complementary chocolates in the room) and the Pan Pacific. We plan to stay in one of them again when we join the Journey in March 2018 for part of the World Cruise. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...and this is a big but....you will have such a great time at the Mandarin Marina with Phil and the gang, so stay there and PARTY! See you on Journey in September. Xx Lottie.

I don't think you can go too far wrong in Singapore. So many to choose from. I just liked the look of the hotel and location. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
