However, now we feel the prices were same online too.<br />2) Try to book a room with balcony for better view and facilities.<br />3) If there is a history of travel sickness for any of your family members, I would advise you to carry some medicine for such case. The ship is huge and you rarely feel the movement except during anchoring. Personally, I never felt any such uneasiness/nausea etc. during the trip. However, I also know of another friend who did get a little sea sickness, so I guess all depends on your body type. Please go prepared.Blog ma viewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267697599953262441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088707687986256474.post-86044628993917998952017-05-03T12:22:54.026+01:002017-05-03T12:22:54.026+01:00Hello

I am from India and the price of the rooms are changing based on the country the guest resides in. Indians has to pay more than Singaporeans :)<br />May I know how did you book rooms ? thru their website or any other websites or any dealers and how to check for any deals/offers ?<br />I am planning to book in the month of september which is very well in advance, so hope your information helps me in getting some good discounts :)<br />We will be travelling with my in-laws who are above 60 years and my daughter who is 5 years old. Will there be any sea sickness or any precautions that we need to follow beforehand ?<br />Your information would be highly appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks in advanceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922622647528086807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088707687986256474.post-15141391534370773662017-05-03T12:17:42.910+01:002017-05-03T12:17:42.910+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922622647528086807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088707687986256474.post-80760886823913174122017-02-17T16:59:27.646+00:002017-02-17T16:59:27.646+00:00A great Blog with so many useful tips.

Yes, multiple entry visa for Singapore is sufficient for the trip. To add, there is no other transit visa required for your trip.<br /><br />2. Embarkation and disembarkation is made very simple by the crew and is totally hassle-free. There are more details about it in our blog.<br /><br />3. We suggest please keep copy of all trip related documents, cruise and hotel ticket copy in case Immmigration officer wants to check in Singapore.<br /><br />Happy Cruising :-Blog ma viewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267697599953262441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088707687986256474.post-6534125841387251082016-11-28T20:19:02.546+00:002016-11-28T20:19:02.546+00:00We had done the booking through authorised Star cr...We had done the booking through authorised Star cruises agent. However, I have also checked that usually online booking always provides you option of booking with the type of room you want to book (Standard cabin, With balcony etc).<br /><br />We are not allowed to book specific cabin...this is different from how we book seats in flight and theatres.<br /><br />Once you confirm the booking, the reservation desk will allot you the cabin on their own. You can mention your prefrences in remarks.<br />Frankly speaking, cabins are well located. You can ask for one close to elevator...so that its easier for you all.Blog ma viewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267697599953262441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088707687986256474.post-76710325766223201962016-11-28T06:40:28.209+00:002016-11-28T06:40:28.209+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.blvedragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331422527170247563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088707687986256474.post-86020952347030064242016-11-26T12:09:51.973+00:002016-11-26T12:09:51.973+00:00Hi

Else, they can book a taxi on their own for few hours and select spots to visit.<br />Best things to view - Eagle Square (must visit - carry umbrella as its an open ground and was burning hot both times when we visited), Pantai Cenag beach - Good beach with water sports, coconut water and souvenir shops :) Langkawi Cable Car - Worth visiting. But not sure if you can cover this in the cruise permissible timings. Because this is located quite far-off.Blog ma viewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267697599953262441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088707687986256474.post-68288550284184370382016-08-09T18:51:01.179+01:002016-08-09T18:51:01.179+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Blog ma viewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267697599953262441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088707687986256474.post-25239232022536810722016-08-09T18:50:07.528+01:002016-08-09T18:50:07.528+01:00Re: Taxi in Penang

Taxi driver will give you an idea about the various points that you may want to visit. You can choose whatever spots that you would like to visit and then negotiate the fare. We visited a temple, some coffee shop and then the beach. I think we paid somewhere around 150 Ringets.Blog ma viewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267697599953262441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088707687986256474.post-6028947386521107252016-08-09T18:42:39.828+01:002016-08-09T18:42:39.828+01:00We will answer your query in 3 parts for easy read...We will answer your query in 3 parts for easy reading:<br /><br />Re: Drinks on the deck<br /><br />One of our patron Anurag recently shared information about his experience on the same cruise. He specifically wrote about the drinks. He writes "Unimited Drinks Package:- Cost me around 80SGD (Rs 4,000) for a 3 nights package. My suggestion - No need to buy, unless you plan to drink around 6-7 beers a days. Heineken and Tiger (the only beer on offer) costs around 5 to 6 SGD. So, you have the flexibility to drink as much as you want."Blog ma viewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267697599953262441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088707687986256474.post-83155920391945691432016-08-09T18:30:15.432+01:002016-08-09T18:30:15.432+01:00Thanks Anurag for sharing your experience.

Sorry about the delay in reply!
I did manage ...Hi! Sorry about the delay in reply!<br /><br />I did manage to make the trip and am posting a few tips here, in case it helps other travelers.<br /><br />1. If possible, avoid Star cruise. Get Royal Caribbean or princess cruise if available. For a little more money, you get much better service.<br /><br />2. Penang Taxi:- No need to pre-book the day trip from cruise. Waste of money. Instead, get way out of the cruise terminal, till you reach outside. Cabs charge an hourly rate here, and i paid 25 ringet for an hour. In contrast, people who booked from the cruise centre, ended up paying much more.<br /><br />3. Port Klang:- Do not book cruise package. You can easily get a taxi from the cruise terminal.<br /><br />4. Unimited Drinks Package:- Cost me around 80SGD (Rs 4,000) for a 3 nights package. My suggestion - No need to buy, unless you plan to drink around 6-7 beers a days. Heineken and Tiger (the only beer on offer) costs around 5 to 6 SGD. So, you have the flexibility to drink as much as you want.<br /><br />Do let me know, if anyone else has any other questions. <br />Anurag Agrawalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618056286169896601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088707687986256474.post-23688788453653796522016-08-09T12:27:44.023+01:002016-08-09T12:27:44.023+01:00Hey I am sending my parents for same cruise and yo...Hey I am sending my parents for same cruise and your blog was very helpful.Could you tell me how much is unlimited drink package for and what all it includes.

Please recommend the blog to your near and dear ones whenever you get a chance.<br /><br />The decks are accessible for people on wheelchairs. There are lifts for moving from one deck to another. Restaurants and other places can be accessed with people on wheelchairs.<br /><br />There is plenty of food of different variety available on the decks from morning till late in the night. All these meals are unlimited.<br /><br />For the driks, we are not really sure. We do not think they checked it anytime. However, I would request that you check it in your ticket or with your agent for the same. If you get an answer for this, please let us and our patrons know about it.<br /><br />Have a great trip!<br /><br />Blog ma viewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267697599953262441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6088707687986256474.post-86840845347486193462016-07-16T21:29:08.014+01:002016-07-16T21:29:08.014+01:00We are glad that you liked the blog.
