1st Cruise Trip on Star Virgo - Day 1

Dear Diary,

Daddy & Mummy decided its time to bring me along for a holiday and they booked a Star Virgo 3D2N Malacca/KL cruise trip as they felt its more family friendly. Mummy is very excited and she bought me a swimsuit so that i can swim in the pool on the cruise.

But alas! On the afternoon of the day for our cruise trip, Mummy discovered that i am having running nose! Mummy gave me some medicine to take hoping the running nose will subside and praying at the same time no fever will develop. She decided to pack extra tissue papers and flu/fever medication along.

My running nose still continues but seeing i am as active as usual, Daddy & Mummy decided i should be ok.

We proceed to the Singapore Cruise Centre at Harbourfront to check in and board the cruise. As we booked the Balcony class, we have "Red Carpet" treatment where there is a separate queue for checking in. Checking in is quite fast but queuing to get onto the cruise is another matter. There was a very long queue for boarding and Mummy carried me for whole 45mins before someone from the cruise centre spotted us and let us go through the security checks without having to queue further. Mummy is thankful for the uncle otherwise, we would have to queue for another 20mins i reckon.

When we reached our room @ Deck 11, Mummy discovered that there was no cot in the room even when she had requested for one during the booking. Daddy called up the housekeeping and requested for one. As we wait for the cot to come, Daddy & Mummy started unpacking and i started exploring the room..hehe..Look how busy i am!

Sob Sob! We waited for an hour and no cot came. Mummy is already getting very frustrated as its going 11pm and i am very sleepy from my flu medication. She called up the housekeeping and voiced her displeasure (its already very mild according to Mummy's standard) and in 10mins the cot came. However, much to Daddy & Mummy's horror, they realise that the cot is missing a panel and it created a big gap which Mummy worried i might slip and hurt myself. Seeing how tired i am, Mummy decided against calling up the housekeeping, she placed a pillow in the cot to "block" out the gap and tuck me to bed.

By the time i slept its about 11.45pm. Daddy went out to explore and also fill his hungry stomach at the Mediterranean Buffet on Deck 12 while Mummy stayed behind to look after me. Later he packet a Hokkien Fried Prawn Mee & Char Kuay Teow back for Mummy from the Blue Lagoon which is open 24hours.

By then the Star Virgo has left the Singapore port and heading towards Malacca. Mummy saw some lightning and reckon its going to rain. Daddy & Mummy enjoy some company alone (with me sleeping) before they head to bed.
