Star Virgo Cruise Package

[dada050909]

Bought a cruise package from Star Virgo Cruise at yesterday's NATAS Fair! Will be sailing on mid April

It's a 4d3n package where it will sail to Penang and Phuket! Anyone who bought the same package too? Penang and Phuket got what nice things to see or must eat?

Thanks in advance!

For Penang, we went to eat the famous Penang road chendol and visited the film site of the Chinese drama serial little nonya when we took our cruise.

Besides beach sports, do you recommend Elephant ride? Seems to be a really popular attraction there! The cruise allows us to opt for an intinerary plan where there's elephant ride. sounds interesting

Chendol and Laksa seems to be really popular there! Where's the film site? was your cruise Star Virgo or RC?

The film site is at Pinang Peranakn Mansion

More details on the official site below.

Yap, do try their local food there, like chendol, char Kway Teow and Assam laksa!

In fact, we love it so much there we just went back to penang last month!

Am writing our trip review on our blog now..

We took RC, with ports of call at Malacca and Penang.

Visted your blog. superb! very useful information in your website! Anyway I have decided to take package that is provided by Star Virgo Food Galore and Shopping Tour. Will be visiting Queensbay mall, Local Products Store, Prangin Mall and Hawker Centre!

The next day will be Phuket! Have not decided which tour package to go for but kind of attracted to this: Elephant Riding Adventure. Consist of Elephant Riding Adventure, Adventure Safari, Chalong Temple, Sri Burapa Cashew Nut Factory, Wang Talang and Patong Beach. But I have no interest in the Chalong Temple and Cashew Nut Factory

Now I am stuck as to should I do shopping in Phuket too? But really would love to go for elephant riding but not interested in the rest of their programs

Anyone tried Phuket's Elephant Riding/Adventure Safari before?

Anyone visited Phang Nga Bay?

Take cruise for 3 times already, 2 times go to Singapore - Penang - Phuket for 4 days 3 night. and 1 time go to Singapore - Malaca for 3 days 2 night.

To be honest, better take the longer one because 3 days 2 night obviously not enough.

Find the room that have balcony, its superb. The food is not bad. Entertainment not much other than theater (not sure still have or not), arcade, casino, karaoke.

There is also jacuzzy, hot steam and sauna. It is free for balcony class.

Ya..4d3n is an ideal getaway..

3d2n is too short..

Yipee! Mine is 4 days 3 night too. Too bad I didn't take balcony class cause my partner feels that it's only to sleep and most of the time will not be in the room. want have sea breeze, can go outside and feel.

Now a bit regret cause got free jacuzzy, hot steam and suana! Is yours Star Virgo? How was your itinerary like for penang and phuket cruise trip? Then maybe I can reference from there so that I won't lugi that much
