Last month, I went to royal Caribbean cruise (3 night cruise to penang and malacca) Indeed, I am quite impressed with the service of the crew and it make me feel warmth during the whole trip. Upon reaching harbour front, if you have luggage to check in, you may do so at the check in baggage counter but it will take around 2 to 3 hours before it reach your room. After checking in, you can embark onto the ship for a buffet lunch. You can choose to check in early to avoid the crowd but you still need to wait till 1pm before the room is ready. There are a whole list of facilities and activities (rock climbing) in the ship and two restaurants awaiting for us. The room is considerably spacious for 2 but the toilet is very small. Everyone on-board the ship is issued with a room card (name stated on it), it is used for paying any fees incurred on-board the ship such as alcoholic drinks or shopping expenses. End of the cruise, you can choose either payment by cash or credit card. Now let me introduce to some of the nice food I had during the cruise and some photo to share during the whole trip.

| My cocktail, frozen mojito! nice and refreshing! |
 |
| During our day 1 dinner at this formal restaurant, we had this chicken with mushroom. It is worth mentioning as the chicken is tender and the mushroom taste great |
 |
This beef is just perfect, medium rare, really good (day 1 dinner indeed impressive)
However, I dislike my dessert. (below picture) |
 |
| Every night, there are lot of activities such as magic shows or karaoke singing or disco theme. If you still feel bored, there is a small casino which you can try your luck. |
 |
| Some interesting things to share: you will find this on the back of the room. How it works: Every night you can ordered breakfast via the menu and hang it on the door knot not later by 3am. This breakfast room service will deliver it to your room on the stipulated timing which you had indicated earlier on the menu. We tried once and it is quite punctual. |
