Birthday Cruise On Board SuperStar Virgo 3 – 5 Nov 2010 Day 3

How fast time flies. Before we know it, it was already our third day on board the holiday cruise ship, Super Star Virgo, and in a few hours time, we would be disembarking.

As we had quite a lot to rich foods yesterday especially at the Choco Madness Party, we skipped breakfast and instead had a good and filling lunch after collecting our travel documents.

Holiday Travel Tips:-
Do check the time and venue to collect your travel documents. If you need assistance with your luggage, lock and leave them outside your cabin door from 1000 – 1200 hrs.

Since we still had some dining credits with the compliments from Star Cruises, we decided to have lunch at Noble House Restaurant, the Chinese a la carte restaurant on board the holiday cruise ship.

We ordered half a roasted duck and spinach with eggs in superior stock and were more than satisfied with the standard of the food. We have to admit that the food was simply yummy…..

After lunch, we collected our luggage from the cabin and proceeded to the respective waiting area for disembarkation. Expected arrival time in Singapore was approximately 1400 hrs. However, at 1340 hrs, we were able to disembark.

Birthday Cruise On Board SuperStar Virgo 3 – 5 Nov 2010

Received a text message:- Happy Birthday! Star Cruises presents you 1 complimentary cruise on any Star Cruises vessels with SGD100 dining credits in Nov 2010. T & C apply.

This is the first time we have received a complimentary cruise from Star Cruises. Upon calling, we found that we could choose from any of the 3D 2N departure which falls on either Wednesday or Friday. Since our schedule for November was already quite packed, we managed to squeeze in the complimentary cruise on Wed, 3rd Nov.

Birthday cruises are not the norm and this is a treat that we decided we did not wish to miss out on.

For Wed Malacca/Port Klang departure, SuperStar Virgo departs at 2359 hrs from Singapore HarbourFront Centre. Check in commences at 2000 hrs and boarding is from 2030 – 2230 hrs.

With over 2200 passengers for this holiday cruise since Friday is a Public Holiday – Deepavali, the queue to check in was super long. By the time we boarded the holiday cruise ship, it was already after 2100 hrs.

Holiday Travel Tips:-
To avoid long queues and inconvenience during bill settlement, proceed to the Reception on Deck 7 and complete the Express Checkout form.

Late dinner/supper was served at Pavilion Room and Mediterranean Buffet International from 2100 – 2330 hrs and 2100 – 0000 hrs respectively. However when we proceeded to have dinner at the all-inclusive restaurants, there was a long queue.

Since we had the SGD100 dining credits, we decided to cut the queue and instead headed for Samurai Restaurant to enjoy some Japanese food. At 2200 hrs, Samurai Restaurant was totally empty except for the two of us.

The grilled glazed spring chicken with rice in a box and katsudon (pork cutlet) both tasted great, being tasty and fragrant, good choices and value for money. The prices are very reasonable as well considering the standard of the food.

After dinner, we went back to the cabin to rest before watching Magic World by Duo Baccara. It was 45 minutes of magical fun and entertainment. We were delighted that we did not miss this incredible show combining magic, dance, comedy, acrobatic and, of course, grand illusion as we learned that this was their last show her on Super Star Cruises.

At midnight, there was the Tropical Hawaiian Night Sail Away Party by the Parthenon Pool on Deck 12 for those who wished to join in and have some party time.
