The cruise ship Super Star Virgo that travels from Singapore and major ports of call within Southeast Asia

Beauty pageant at the lobby

But think of cruising as something out of the ordinary. It’s not just another passenger ship going to a destination. It is a full service, mall of the seas, so to speak, considering the many amenities and things to do and enjoy while taking it slow to your destination.

Main lobby of Super Star Virgo
There were several families with children in tow, teenagers and honeymooners. There were even nubile sirens, coming in full force, candidates of Ms. Resorts World Manila who sashayed at the main lobby in their swimsuits to the gawking of tourists.

On board library with books covering a broad topic. However, its still advisable to bring your own tome.

Gym at the 12th floor
Live bands enliven the night too with music at the lounge bars either at the lobby or at the poolside for that al fresco entertainment.

Barbecue buffet at the poolside
There’s also fine dining and barbecue night at the poolside, weather permitting. Second, majority of the cruise ship’s crew are kababayans. Everywhere you turn, there’s always a Pinoy crew member. So its not difficult to go or ask around.

Cramped accommodation for four
Sleeping is not a problem but depending on your type of accommodation and the number of persons in a cabin, some can sleep soundly while others, it can be a not so comfy night. In our case, there were four of us bloggers in the room. Two got the regular beds, one got the storable upper deck and, unfortunately for me, got the sofa bed that extends across the room. For one with a big frame, the sofa bed wasn’t too comfy for me and tend to squeek whenever I turn around.

Lounging at the topmost level
But one good thing about cruising is that, after you’ve done the rounds, eaten your way through the restaurants and had fun at the entertainment outlets, you can just go up at the top level or outside the 7th level decks, recline at one of the lounge chairs and just see the world go by.
