As the Star Cruise ship leaves from Harbourfront Cruise Centre, Singapore, we met the group there at 1730 hrs. We soon cleared immigration and customs and were on our way to board the holiday cruise ship SuperStar Virgo.
A special welcome cocktail is available exclusively for Admiral and Balcony Class guests in the Grand Piazza located on Deck 7. Here we were welcomed with warm welcome serenades and melodies by the SuperStar Virgo Quartet and staff as we sipped the fruit punch.

Heading to our Junior Suite – Nicobar Suite, we checked out the lovely and spacious suite. Double the size of the balcony cabin, the junior suite boasts a Jacuzzi, two vanity basins, a tastefully furnished bedroom as well as a living room cum bar.

We decided to have Chinese dinner at Bella Vista Restaurant, one of the all-inclusive restaurants on board the Star Cruise holiday cruise ship.

After dinner, we headed back to the junior suite. Along the way, we passed by Ports O’ Call where you could shop onboard for a wide variety of tax-free items including imported chocolates, local packed foods, coffee powder, etc… At Star Boutique, you can shop for beauty products, branded and luxurious perfumes, fashion eyewear, costume jewelries and so on…
Duty free shopping on board the holiday cruise ship
In the cabin, we managed to catch a movie on television. As the cruise ship only departed at 2030 hrs, the casino opened at approximately 2130 hrs once it was out in international waters. When Mother was nicely tucked in bed, the casino beckoned and most of our group members decided to try their luck before retiring for the night.
We had originally wanted to catch the showtime “Magic World by Duo Baccara” but after watching the movie, we totally forgot all about it.

Missed the magic show
That was the end of our first evening on board the holiday cruise ship SuperStar Virgo. We look forward to disembarking at Port Klang tomorrow where we could do some Malaysia shopping.
