Coincidentally, 2nd April happens to be Good Friday. At the same time, it is also the last weekend cruise to nowhere on StarCruise Line SuperStar Virgo. This business decision was made with the opening of the Integrated Resorts in Singapore. No longer will SuperStar Virgo be known as the casino cruise it is popularly known as now especially during the weekends.

another Integrated ResortBeing a public holiday due to Good Friday, we arrived at the Singapore Harbourfront Cruise Centre at 1730 hrs. Fortunately for us, we managed to get a car park lot as soon as we entered the carpark as there was a sign along the way indicating that the carpark in Harbourfront was full.
After checking in, we arranged for our luggage to be sent to our cabins and went to the food court in Harbourfront for a drink before going through customs and immigration. Upon boarding the holiday cruise ship, we headed directly to Deck 7 Grand Piazza for the welcome drinks before proceeding to the Mediterranean Buffet Restaurant for dinner.

With a passenger load of 2200, this holiday cruise ship was pretty full. We had to sit at the Mediterranean Terrace which is non air-conditioned. There was a wide range of food to choose from and the food standard was quite good.

After dinner, we found ourselves back in the cabin. 2000 hrs signaled the start of the Safety Drill, a compulsory safety exercise for all passengers. SuperStar Virgo set sail just before 2100 hrs.
Once Mother was all settled into bed, our group proceeded to the casino. With only one table for Casino War, it was over-crowded and we decided to hit the jackpot instead for awhile before retiring for the night.
So ended Day 1 on board the Cruise To Nowhere. For future weekend cruises on this holiday cruise ship SuperStar Virgo, there would be stopovers in Malaysia instead of just cruising in international waters. Since the casino can only operate in international waters, this will no longer be a wholly casino cruise as it has been during the weekends for the past few years.
