SuperStar Virgo Slot Tournament 1st Oct - 3rd Oct 2010

On this holiday cruise ship, we specifically went on board as two sisters-in-law were going to take part in the SuperStar Virgo slot tournament. As they were invited by SuperStar Virgo, they were each offered a free cabin, thus hubby and myself tagged along to enjoy the short holiday.

Note to slot tournament participants for registration

Window cabin - enough for 4 pax

After dinner, we took a rest before accompanying sisters-in-law to the casino to give them support.

This is the last weekend cruise with a stopover in Port Klang where we could go on a shore excursion. From what we heard, future weekend cruises would revert back to the 3 days, 2 nights Cruise To Nowhere.

Day 2 - Port Klang Shore Excursion

We hailed a cab from the Port Klang Cruise Centre to Mid-Valley Megamall to enjoy some Malaysia shopping.

Lunch at Kenny Rogers in Mid-Valley Megamall

Chicken wings

We managed to buy some snacks and realised that the tidbits sold at Jusco, as seen in the picture, is much cheaper than at some other shops in Mid Valley Megamall.

Holiday Travel Tips:- if you are looking for tidbits, check out what Jusco has before buying at the other stores

Tidbits on sale

We were also very fortunate as Jusco was having their J Card Privilege Shopping Day for J Card members. During this period, Jusco members get to enjoy special discounts such as 15% off on apparel, shoes, bags, stationery, sport, furniture, etc... and 5% off on supermarket items except for cooking oil, rice, sugar, white bread and government subsidised items. Baby items, electrical items, golf, food court, La Boheme bakery, Coco Cafe and sushi counters also enjoy 5% discount.

On our way back to the cruise terminal, our taxi driver stopped by Sunway Pyramid shopping centre for a short while before sending us back.

For participants of the slot tournament - information for registration for those who made it to the semi-final round

After dinner, once again we made our way back to the casino to support the sister-in-law who had made it to the semi-finals. Although she did not make it to the finals, but she did win overall which was good enough for us! :)

Supper at Blue Lagoon

Hot Favourite Fish Noodles

Day 3 - Back to Singapore

Breakfast at Bella Vista Restaurant

Waffles - sad to say, these were not that fantastic

Eggs and ham tasted much better

So did this taste good!

SuperStar Virgo's attempt at Roti Canai (Indian flatbread). Though the chicken curry was not too bad, the roti canai was not fluffy enough

After breakfast, we proceeded to the waiting area for disembarkation and before we know it, our short holiday is over once again.
