A variety of breakfast food available in the Mediterranean Buffet Restaurant, an all-inclusive restaurantMore breakfast food variety
Halal and vegatarianWe decided to head on to the Mediterranean Buffet Restaurant for breakfast as we like the variety of breakfast food available. If you require halal or Indian vegetarian food, then the Mediterranean Buffet Restaurant is the place to go to.
As usual, the bao or Chinese steamed buns were quite good. Today, it was the red bean bao. Filled with a good quantity of red bean paste, these steamed buns were just yummy. You could also have finger foods such as samosa (a fried or baked triangular pastry with a savoury filling), doughnuts, Danish pastry or if you prefer some Indian food such as vadai (a doughnut shaped Indian savoury snack) besides the normal choices.
Celebrating Easter SundayCasanova, a Las Vegas-styled show, was on that night if you were interested in watching. There was a promotion in ticket prices.
CasanovaAfter breakfast, we headed to The Royale Club, a casino for VIP88 members, on Deck 8 with the other group members. We decided to stay and try our hand at some mini Bacarat where we just followed our group on the bets. It was quite a good session with an amazing 16 ties occurring during the entire round.

The group members decided to quit during the second game when the going was not too good. We then headed to Blue Lagoon, a bistro outlet, since Mother was in a happy mood and wanted some ‘good’ food. We ordered some of the April promotional items such as the Herbal Duck Soup with Vermicelli, Pineapple Rice and Soto Ayam (a spicy chicken soup with noodles). The duck soup and pineapple rice were both tasty and appetizing. The soto ayam was not too bad except that it was served with egg and vermicelli which was unusual.

After lunch, Mother went back to the cabin to rest as she did not want to gamble in the casino on Deck 7 where she was not accustomed. Some of our group members then spent some time in the casino to gain some points on our Star Cruise VIP88 card as well as pass the time. The Casino was quite crowded especially at the table games.
The Oasis Casino on Deck 7For dinner, we headed to the Mediterranean Buffet Restaurant but were disappointed that the outdoor BBQ party was cancelled due to the weather. At the same time since there was a long queue waiting to enter the Mediterranean Buffet Restaurant, we decided to have some Chinese food at the Pavilion Restaurant.
Fortunately we managed to beat the queue and enjoyed the Chinese dinner. The Double Boiled Pork Ribs Soup with Lotus Roots and Peanuts was especially tasty as has always been the case. We enjoyed the other dishes as well which comprised the Deep-fried Prawn Dumpling with Mayonnaise Dressing, Fried Chicken Wings with Preserved Red Bean Curd Sauce, Steamed Fish with Bean Sauce, Stewed Pork Belly with Oyster and the Sauteed Garden Greens with Chinese Sausage. The lovely dinner ended with the Mixed Fresh Fruit Platter.

When dinner was over, we accompanied Mother back to the cabin and again some of our group members proceeded to the casino to continue where they had left off earlier and others stayed behind to keep Mother company and get her ready for bed.
It was an exciting day as we managed, on the whole, to gain some winnings on board this casino cruise. Seems like this last Cruise to Nowhere on board the holiday cruise ship, SuperStar Virgo was a ‘lucky’ cruise for us.
