Genting Dream Cruise

4D3N cruise, 6-9 Jan with my in-laws. Yup yup, same itinerary as Xiaxue's (I don't follow her but my sis-in-law saw her on board).
Alighted at Penang and Langkawi ports.

How did it go?

If I'm paid to blog I could do a comprehensive review of Genting Dream Cruise c/w beautifully edited photos, and perhaps top it up with a comparison with Royal Carribean's in various aspects such as:

Checking in and boarding -
Food -
Room -
Price -
Entertainment -
Kids-friendly-o-meter -

..... but unfortunately I'm not a influenza so I'll just let a photo collage (done in under 2 mins using a free Android app) do the talking =P



But if you happen to come across this post and still want to know how awesome GD cruise, or how it fares against its competitor, just buzz me and/or leave a comment, whatever. I'll be more than happy to share!

Cruising with Fam

Did a look back and realised the last time the whole family went for a holiday was 8 years ago! All because one of us is a slave of MOE. Jun and Dec are really terrible times to travel overseas due to peak prices and/or extremely hot/cold weather, especially with a young one in tow.

Thanks to Sponsor Daddy, all of us ventured onboard Royal Carribean's Voyager of the Seas on a 4D3N cruise to Port Klang!

Happy times:

I really, really honestly highly recommend Royal Carribean for a quality, relaxing family bonding holiday. Since everything (well, almost) has been paid for and everything you need is on board, going for a cruise is itinerary-less and stress free. On top of that, RC staff are passionate and customer centric, one feels very much like a premium guest at all times! RC is also very big on cleanliness - there's no rubbish nor stains along common areas, and it is almost mandatory to sanitize your hands before you enter the restaurant. I was most impressed by their eye for details for customer touch points, when I noticed one of them POLISHING THE EXTERIOR OF A METAL RUBBISH BIN!

Okay, I can go on and on about how fabulous RC is, go on one and experience it for yourself ;)

Anyways, as I was saying, it's been so long since the whole family spend some time together. Thanks to this holiday for allowing me to do these, which are hard to come by nowadays:

- Watching my mom dancing along to rock 'n' roll music. You should have seen her face light up when the band played "Woolly Bully", a song unheard of in my life.

- Playing table tennis with my dad. Dad was the one who introduced the sport to us. Brought back memories of our vacations at Park Towers in HK.

- Playing 1 on 1 basketball with my bro, just like our younger days! The disparity in height (and size) between then and now is stark!

- Chilling in the room with my fam and snacking while watching dumb shows on TV

- Rhetorically debating whether it is better to have stinky breath or stinky armpits =P

- Queuing and taking photos with mascots

- Late night partying with wifey till 11.30pm (mom and sis helped babysit yx)!

Thank you Royal Carribean!
We'll be back! :)
