During this pandemic season, everyone is trapped in their own country and couldn't be able to travel overseas for some relaxation and adventure. We are so delighted when we have the chance to have the first ever vacation after nearly 2 years due to pandemic, and what's more, it is our virgin cruise experience together! 💏 I am not really the person that will enjoy cruising as I have sea sickness and nausea easily. Whenever I sit boat I will get sick and thus I am worried that with the money spent, I can not enjoy the holidays as much as I can. Nonetheless, we went ahead to book the cruise few months back, as vacation away from work is so much needed for us, frankly we are quite bored trapped ourselves in this Singapore island. 😏

There are 2 choices for cruise in Singapore for this year 2021, namely Genting Dream Cruise (cheaper) and Royal Caribbean Quantum of the Seas Cruise (more expensive). At first, we had booked Genting Dream Cruise, but later of the day after few research online, we have decided to cancel the booking and book Royal Caribbean Quantum of the Seas Cruise. There are a lot of reviews online comparing these 2 cruises, and the later always win, in term of foods and entertainment shows. Genting offers more to buffet style foods and more to casino gambling ship. Royal is more to top notch service and elegant style with specialty fine dining foods and world class entertainment shows. Although Royal price is almost double of Genting, I am really glad that I have decided to go with Royal at the end! 😍 You will know why after you read all of my upcoming blog reviews!

Due to the pandemic that happening globally, t his is a cruise to nowhere, meaning that we will not leave the cruise throughout the whole trip. Initially I am worried if it will be boring for the 5d4n cruise to nowhere with only on board activities, but I am so so so wrong! I just back from the cruise few days ago and I feel that 5d4n cruise to nowhere is so much fun and I thoroughly enjoy those on board activities offered! Honestly, I still have a lot more activities yet to do, I think it would be better if it  is 7d6n trip! 😂 Plus, I do not experience sea sickness during this trip, yeahh! I can feel it is sailing sometime with very mild effect, I am not feeling sick at all, I am so glad that I able to enjoy the holidays! 😜

We have the best sea-cation with Royal Caribbean Cruise, Quantum of the Seas. It is a 5d4n cruise-to-nowhere holidays surrounding   vicinity of Singapore island. It is such a pampering and luxurious virgin cruise trip for us! I am looking forward to even more cruise holidays in future! Royal Caribbean really raises up the bar for a luxury cruise holidays and I will certainly be back for more in future! Kudos to all the crew members and staffs on board, from housekeeper (who make cute towel animals daily to surprise you!), personal waitresses for each dining table (who remember your food preference and surprise you with more and more foods, the portion is very generous!), managers (who talk to you during dinner every night and give us strawberry chocolate dessert at the end of the trip), staffs (who help to make booking for your activities easily) and so much more! We feel truly pampered and experience a "royalty" holidays from the good care of crew members and staffs. Amidst the pandemic season, we are blessed to be able to escape and have an enjoyable "overseas" holidays! Thank you, Royal team! 💖😘   I am missing the trip so much already by the time I set my foot on Singapore island again, you will be missed and see you soon!  😘



Our Cruise Details:

Cruise Name: Quantum of the Seas
( Note: Quantum of the Seas has been sailing in Singapore for year 2021, and forecast to continue till Feb 2022, any news on the date extension need to refer to official website Link)
Sailing Duration: 5 Days 4 Nights
Sailing Period: 9 Sep 2021 - 13 Sep 2021
Price: SGD 1400 for 2 pax (without upgrade to unlimited dining and unlimited alcoholic drinks and without WiFi on board)

Total Deck/Floor: 16th 
Room Type: Balcony Stateroom with Ocean View 
( Note: We stay in level 12, forward deck. You can choose the exact room number you want prior to the trip! I have researched for each deck and found that deck 8 to deck 12 have the best room to stay and potentially the best to avoid from the sound of crowds. As majority of the cruise activities and restaurants are in deck 3/4/14/15.)
( Tips: The stateroom location for each deck is categorized into Forward, Mid-Ship, and Aft. I think is advisable to get Mid-Ship, as it is easier to access to the restaurants and activities on board. Since Mid-Ship is the center of ship, it will be more stable and good for those who prone to sea sickness too I guess.)
( Tips: Opt for balcony room to enjoy the deck. You can bring up to 2 bottles of wine per room as well during Royal cruise! Best to enjoy wine with the ocean view at deck. For budget travelers, opt for interior room without window. For luxury travelers, opt for suite! For suite, you can have early boarding time, VIP seats for entertainment shows, private jacuzzi in the room yourself, personal butler, private sun deck and pool access for suite only, and etcetera)
( Tips: Price for room differs according to peak/shoulder/low season. The price order from cheapest to most expensive is listed here: Interior --> Ocean View --> Balcony (our choice & most popular) --> Suite. the most updated price can be checked from the official website  Link )

If you wonder what is the rod extended out at the highest, it is actually called North Star, which is an observation deck to let you have a bird eye view of ocean and the cruise!

A look inside Quantum of the Seas. Some of the activities you can join during the cruise! During my Sep 2021 sailing, all of them are still valid, except for the Dream Works Experience and roller rink. Royal will change entertainment shows (not sure how frequent) every now and then,  so frequent cruise visitors won't get bored by the same performance again and again!  Talk about great efforts here by Royal Team! 👍
