Just to clarify, this was a cruise to Nowhere? You didn't make any port stops or have excursions.

Yes, very unlikely for cruising to a port to resume soon from Singapore seeing as how our neighbours are no where nearly well controlled in covid cases as we are. I know that Malaysia is starting Domestic cruising in the coming months. But Thailand and Indonesia haven't really discussed this yet. Singapore also has no domestic tourism market, hence, cruise to nowhere.

@Ethanol95 Thank you for your semi-live report. It was so refreshing to see people cruise again and give their experiences. Your information on the Covid safety protocols will help future travelers know what to expect. I'm glad you had a great time. Cheers!

Yeah cause there's only 4 restaurants for UDP, so we decided better for dinners.

Ic, u could just have a second lunch in the specialty ur group liked best but i would say the gnocchi in MDR was really good.

Ic, i felt Izumi was best for a 'rushed' meal cos they serve everything together so the meal was about an hour instead of the 2 hours for the other restaurants.

We still took 2, they gave us like 14 rolls of sushi and appetizers. There was still dessert after that! We can't stomach that for lunch, just too much! Even for dinner, we asked to cut down.

I booked on Adventure for June.  It should be interesting to see how some of this works with fully vaccinated Americans.  

That will be quite interesting.  Hopefully everyone is understanding and follows the rules and regulations the Bahamian govt puts in place.

Ahaha, sorry if it became too general. I was trying to keep family apart from this. 

Based on some of your photos looks like they have cruise safe ambassadors stationed alot of places.  Is that true?  Was it annoying or reassuring?

Only in the casino on the last night I physically saw them walking around. The rest of the time, is the staff or royal enforcing the safety measures themselves.

StarWater was something I'd seen before and forgot that I had seen it before, but I think all of us thought that apart from the robotic arm screens and the main singer, the show wasn't very entertaining. It got boring quickly. Which was a shame. After 7 years i expected the show to either improve or become different all together. The concept of the dance itself was what dragged the entire show. It was just a glorified fashion show act. You get the point, I shan't go on any further. 

 

 

Yes of all the shows this one was my least favorite we saw it back on Dec and choose not to this time.  Sequins and Feathers was much better being a mix between a Vegas showgirl and chorus line production.  We planned on not going but the kids wanted to see the dancing again.

I saw them twice both times just waking around taking random pictures I’m sure to prove social distancing.  It must be a pretty monotonous but easy job.

Dang, we missed out. When Iw as booking shows, my mum didn't seem particularly interested in the poster for it, also doesn't look like something we'd enjoy. But hearing this, I kinda regret not seeing it. Also do you know whether Sonic Odyssey was showing at all on this ship?

I don’t think so I had to google it and hadn’t heard of it before.

Yes the UDP was good but too much food. We constantly asked for smaller portions as we wanted to try a lot of the items.

Maybe its not a show for the singaporean cruise crowd..

We just got everything and shared usually. Only in Izumi we asked to cut down, that really was a lot. Even in wonderland, the mains we all didn't finish.

Sonic Odyssey wasn't available on Quantum for all the cruise to nowhere. Personally i like that more than Sequins and Feathers.

Oh that sucks. I think i would have much preferred that over Star Water.
