Christmas Cruise Day 3
Montage of SuperStar Virgo 2009
Just a few hours left on this Christmas cruise on board the holiday cruise ship, SuperStar Virgo, we would be disembarking from this casino ship soon. This is my first Christmas on board the Star Cruise Line, a great way to spend Christmas with the family, although there would have been more Christmas cheer if Santa had been around as well. The Christmas carols by the SuperStar Virgo band did add to the Christmas atmosphere. With Mother in her wheelchair on this cruise, we again found the whole ship to be very wheelchair friendly.
We managed to capture some sunrise images from the balcony of our cabin as well as ocean images.

Breakfast was to have been at Bella Vista restaurant where you could get breakfast food of Western or Chinese cuisine. However there was a long queue and it would be an hour and a half wait for a table. We decided then to go to the Pavilion Chinese Restaurant and were fortunate to get 2 tables for our group.

A good breakfast where we had Chinese breakfast comprising scallop porridge and various dim sum food, we were happy with the dishes. Fortunately Mother quite enjoyed the dim sum as they were pretty good overall.

Yummy yummy
By the time we finished breakfast, it was already after 1000 hrs and we returned to our cabin to wait for the signal for disembarkation. Our whole group gathered in our cabin and there was a lot of chatter going on whilst waiting for the Star Cruise staff to come to our cabin and assist us to wheel Mother in her wheelchair. The ship docked at Singapore Harbourfront at 1100 hrs and by the time the cruise ship staff came to our cabin, it was almost 1145 hrs.

This time our whole group disembarked together. Just one person accompanied Mother in her wheelchair to take the lift as there were altogether 27 wheelchair passengers and the queue for the lift was long. By the time we had gone through customs and immigration, it was almost 1230 hrs.
See the similarity?
That was the end of our Christmas cruise on board the SuperStar Virgo. We had gone as a big family and had a wonderful vacation on board the holiday cruise ship, otherwise fondly known as the casino ship. It is easy to bring Mother on board the Star Cruise Line as it is wheelchair friendly and the crew is super friendly as well.
