Was pleasantly surprised at the size of the cabin and the quality of the food, but looking round at my fellow passengers was quite an eye-opener. Have never seen so many sick, elderly people in all my life - surprised they were even allowed to board to be honest. A real shock was the compulsory pre-eating, hand sterilisation. You either felt like a rather naughty school-kid or else about to perform surgery on someone. Apparently all cruise ships are now the same - basically floating germ centres so be warned. Would have been nice however for some signage stating "no wash - no eat !" beforehand though. In spite of all that, I estimate a third of the passengers became ill with either a severe cough or else some kind of stomach upset. But NOT the ship's fault. Sickness on cruise liners in rampant they say.
The ship's evening entertainment was very slick but definitely aimed at the over 70s demographic. A couple of the "comedians" and quiz nights were so corny it was like like looking at an old black and white 60s TV variety show.
On the down side the toilets on several floors were often out of order and the cabins were very stuffy even though the temp was fine.
Very unimpressed with the air-conditioning. While the temp was fine, the air was incredibly stuffy - no wonder so many people were ill. Plumbers had to switch off the water at night at least 3 times to fix the toilets. Doesn't say much for the maintenance. A clock in the room would be nice as impossible to tell night day when you're inside.
So much to see and do in Singapore it's hard to know where to start. No need to go on a tour - just wander round by yourself. Public transport in superb.
