Cruising on Star Cruise Libra 23 Dec - 26 Dec 2011

This is my first time cruising on Star Cruise Libra. Our itinerary is Port Klang > Penang  > Singapore > Port Klang. My family all cruised before except me *sad*
Anyway, allow me to tell you my experience.
The cabin that my mum and I stayed in (Oceanview Stateroom with Porthole) is really tiny... It will be difficult to move about especially those who are obese, because even for me a petite person like me and a slightly fleshier person like my mum have a bit difficulty moving about in the cabin. There's very limited space to even put our luggage bag.

The bathroom was extremely tiny, too.

 Anyway, it's not like I'm gonna stay in the room throughout my holiday. So we just stepped outside and met up with my brother and sis-in-law on the deck.


One thing about this cruise is all food are paid for. They served 6 meals a day: breakfast, morning tea (Mariners Buffet), lunch, afternoon tea (Mariners Buffet), dinner and supper (Mariners Buffet).
And they have all sorts of entertainment, on the deck as well as in the entertainment halls. And they have a small casino, too (not any of our cup of tea, so we practically skipped that, but we do went inside to check it out)
And for my first time, I actually witnessed sun rise and sun set... A breathtaking view indeed...

And on Christmas eve, they have the countdown party on the deck. And to my brother's delight, a chocolate buffet, where all kinds of chocolate, such as chocolate cakes, brownies, tarts, candies and fondue, as well as some fruits.





Something for my brother to look forward to before the countdown party began. LOL



Overall verdict:
I had a really good and lovely time. The whole experience is really relaxing and completely stress-free. Perfect for a quick yet fun getaway for both family and honeymooners. Resting on the deck chair and enjoying the breeze and weather. The food is great, too; good portion and nice choice of dishes. My next goal is to go for the Star Cruise Virgo. Then, hopefully in the future, the Norwegian Cruise Line.
