New experience with Starcruise - Day1

I was never into Star cruises journey and this is my first time. Thanks dad for giving me such a wonderful experience when I was back for holiday in the past May. Initially we had decided to go for Penang-Krabi-Phuket-Penang trip but it was fully booked due to the school holiday. No choice, we only had the second alternative to go, cruise within Penang region, not sure where it rode, I guess to the sea in the middle of Penang island and Butterworth? No idea because there was not even a landmark I could see in the wide and broad sea! It was just a short 2D1N journey, mainly for those who eager for gambling, but definitely not me, I was only there to have my first ever experience in big ship and enjoy for food, show and scenery!

After got on board, the crew will immediately help us to check in to our small cabin, all crews were so friendly and helpful! But, the room was a bit too small and definitely not comfortable to live, the toilet is too small until I kept knocked the wall when bathing. Luckily we just stay for one short night!

Guess what? The huge ship has 10 floors! And we were at the 10th floor now, which has jacuzzi and swimming pool. The journey offered us 2 buffet meal (1 dinner and 1 breakfast) and we were here for our lovely dinner, we chose international buffet instead of oriental meal.

As we were too full, we strolled over the deck and enjoy the breeze after the dinner, I was too regret for not bringing any swimming costume along, the jacuzzi and swimming pool looks great here

While we were relaxing on the deck chair, the night had just begun where a passionate cowgirl calling people to join them in dancing. She was kinda pity because there was not much people around, and most of the people were aunty uncle that came for gambling, of course they were not that energetic to join us in the silly dance. OMG, the girl looked at me and calling me up. It was okay for me because I just wanna enjoy to the max in this cabin!

After the YMCA dance, the crew despite our willingness and call us to perform on the small stage with our own creativity by a given music. Oh, we were really too shy on it but we actually quite enjoyed it.

Aha, it was my turn! 


Then, we visited around in the ship while waiting for the live show by the fake Lady Gaga and Shakira. It was quite entertaining and we all really loved it. There is another comedian that really brought the show to the climax, he was so ugly and pretended like 如花,while wearing red elephant underwear to tease the guy present there and make all of us were so shy to look at him! Yup we just not dare to look at him because he might come over to you! But undeniably his performance was perfect! Oops, but not photo allowed inside! Immediately after the show, they had the Bingo game for us, quite a fun gambling game that whole family can participate together!

Oh, this is the KTV room they had, but it is opened area. We were not into it because we were too humble to show off our voice :P and also because dad was in urge to go into Casino.
 

Besides KTV and swimming pool, they also have other facilities you can enjoy such as disco, basketball field, gym room, running track, and etc. which I don't really remember. That's end of my first day, ended with casino's slot machine, OMG that was really bored me up, I would rather back to my small cabin and have a good night sleep, but I got to accompany mummy!
