Holiday Cruise Ship With Stopover Travel In Port Klang Day 3

Big Teddy on board the Holiday Cruise Ship


Day 3 Fri the 13th Nov


How fast time flies when you are enjoying yourself on the holiday cruise ship SuperStar Virgo cruise. Today is already our third day on board this Malaysia cruise where we had a stopover in Port Klang yesterday. It was a wonderful day when we had our fill of Malaysia shopping in Aeon Bukit Tinggi and tasted the wonderful food of Malaysia yesterday.


As our cabin was just next to Charlie's Kids Club, we took a walk in it to see what activities they had.


Charlie's Kids Club


Simulator games to keep the kids occupied


More arcade games too


As most of the other group members wanted to go to the casino since SuperStar Virgo is also popularly known as a casino cruise ship, we decided to head to The Pavilion, a Chinese restaurant, for breakfast.

It was a change for us having Chinese food as we would normally be in Bella Vista having the Western/Asian breakfast.

Waiting for breakfast in The Pavilion Room

The breakfast food here in The Pavilion Room was quite appetizing with a good variety but service was a little slow. We waited twenty-five minutes for our second order.

TIPS FOR TRAVEL on board SuperStar Virgo-

We felt that it might have been better to have Chinese breakfast in Bella Vista since you could also help yourself to the buffet selection of croissants, bread, fruits, salads and cereal. In Pavilion, you are limited to the set menu and no other types of breakfast food of other varieties as what you can get over in Bella Vista.


After breakfast, we went to apply for the Star VIP88 membership card as well as the WorldCard Cruiser.

The Star VIP88 Card is exclusively designed for VIP patrons. As a Star VIP88 member, you get to enjoy premium cabin rates plus other attractive benefits and privileges onboard. Plus applying for the membership card on board is free, and you get a maroon VIP88 card for good luck.


After applying for the Star VIP88 card and whilst waiting for our other group members who were in the casino, we decided to try our hand at the one-arm bandit though now the jackpot machines are more like one-finger bandit.

Immediately after lunch, those of us who were not accompanying Mother in the wheelchair went to The Pavilion Room to await disembarkation. Those who were accompanying Mother stayed in the cabin till a crew member came to assist Mother with the wheelchair. Somehow, this time round, it seemed that SuperStar Virgo had changed its policy and all wheelchair passengers were wheeled out after all the other passengers had disembarked.

This was a very enjoyable short travel cruise on the holiday cruise ship with stopover travel in Port Klang for great Malaysia shopping and food. At the same time, the gamblers in the group managed to spend some time in the casino as well.
