Buy drinks package at a 40% discount. Watch out for the emails. It’s worth it.

DO NOT BUY IT ONBOARD!

there is truth in that, everything is cheaper if you pre-buy the package.

but if u are those one or two drinks a day kind of person, you don't really need the package,

here is the prices, make up your own mind if it's worth for you and your cabin mates.

Hey guys can i know generally whats the latest boarding time?

You need to check the sailing time, and it's 90mins before. so try to get there at 6pm for an 8pm sailing.

If there's still the pre boarding ART swab then you got to reach even earlier - currently required but not sure till when

Balcony and below only have mineral water in room on first day

MDR is ok and no need to wait as well.. I didn’t ta bao so not sure, basically each table is limit to max 2 guest, if your group is bigger, have to split to different table. Look like the bionic is in maintenance for so long

yah, no one really watches the Beatles tribute band. I think they are pretty decent when though most of their popular songs. but not really for the kids.

can I ask the important question, did u and your partner/family enjoy it? I think that's the most important factor.

Not really, cos my family of 4 looking forward to the live show but in the end can only watch on tv, the bumper car have to book on first day, a lot complaining not able to book or even play once.. I think they should allow people to queue for it

Yeah, sleep most of the time as not much entertainment.. but they give Video on demand free, so basically watching movie in room most of the time.. sound not right lol a bit regret buying the UDP as my family not really eat much also, menu is the same since day 1 for all specialty restaurant throughout the cruise.. I think the food in main dining are decent enough unless you can really eat steak every meal tbh the portion is quite big, first day can finish all, second day 3/4, third day less than 1/4 lol
The izumi not bad for the sushi and sashimi, the ramen also good, Jamie we go for last day, don’t really have any appetite as stomach still full from first 3 day eating

luckily didn’t buy the deluxe drink package as the bionic is down.. then the wonderland is close due to shortage of staff as per gov limit.. this is what I heard from the staff..

it's a challenge to be hungry or to even have a bit of empty space in stomach. my kids everyday chicken noodle soup.

Yeah... without Wonderland, the UDP just isn't really fun. did you know beforehand that wonderland would be close? maybe you can drop them an email, say that without wonderland then there were only 3 other choices, u can also add in other issues like kids don't eat raw food, or something. see if they are willing to do anything (like some FCC)

chops also had other things besides steaks, but yeah, the portions are HUGE! but personally... if no wonderland for my sep cruise, i would cancel my UDP.

Yeah, chicken noodle soup is surprisingly good. i had a bowl of it every night with chicken tenders. lol! Pity next time I go no more free room service, but we considering maybe order once for the salmon.

Hi gurus.... I just book my trip for 16 Sept. Initially saw the unlimited dining but later when wan to book, it doesn't allow it. Called the customer service, they said its fully taken up.
Now I saw a 3 nights dining package, just wonder will it be worth it to take this instead? Or should I wait for those emails for the promo?
This is my 2nd cruise with them as the first one in April, did not have any unlimited dining or 3 nights dining package.

If one guest buy the unlimited alcohol package, must the other guest be forced to also buy it?

Yes, all the occupant in your room have to buy it... unless the occupant is a kid.

Unless you really can eat a lot, the UDP is worth it. Take note Wonderland is closed, left with Chop, Izummi and Jammie. You have to book earlier for Chop and Izumi as seating is limited as 1 table for 2 only. As for the different between 3 night and UDP, both almost the same price tbh, but 3 night is only for 3 dinner only unlike UDP for lunch and dinner throughout the cruise. though it say sold out, you can check again daily as it can appear again if the gov table restriction increase to 3 or 4 or 5 per table. RC follow the restriction set in SG, sometime I felt that they over implement it in the cruise. Normally night time after 12 you can still see people having a swim or stroll, but now you hardly see any soul loitering around after 12.

No, I didn't know wonderland is closed and also the Bionix not working also, the steak in Chop is not really fantastic tbh as I have tried the best in US before. The petite fillet is not bad. I love the the chicken soup in windjammer also. I every night have 4 bowl lol..,.

anyone who sailed recently during P3HA can advise if there's still the ART covid swab test at the cruise terminal before embarkation / after disembarkation? It was introduced in P2HA

Thanks!
