We booked our very first cruise way back in May of this year through an Internet agency.We choose Voyager of the Seas because it was sailing to ports we both wanted to visit as a taste test for further holidays and the price and duration were both appealing..
As first time cruisers we had absolutely no idea what to expect and having read some negative reviews on this ship we began to hold some doubts as to what we had let ourselves in for but as this was my first holiday in many years I decided to leave negativity behind and go with the flow..Seems the fairy of good fortune smiled on me or I walked around with blinkers on because I found very little to be negative about from day one to day 14.
We flew from Sydney to Singapore staying overnight in a quaint little hotel within walking distance to China town and a quick train ride to Singapore's multiple shopping venues,so instead of heading off to board our ship in the morning we left our bags with the hotel and explored..Seems this was the sensible choice because unlike many others that stood in line for hours we simply breezed through the boarding process.
Our Ocean-view Stateroom was delightful,I could sit on the windowsill (porthole)and watch the water (got very exciting when the seas became a lot rougher)The cabin was light airy and roomy and more than comfortable and nothing like I'd imagined when finding out we were on deck 2
