Checking out the cabins on board.

It's been a while since I last updated my blog; finals are coming pretty soon by the end of March 2012, followed by a compulsory trip to Bali, Indonesia in the beginning of April as part of my course, which everything has been booked or arranged by the travel agent we're working with. Assignments, on the other hand, have been hectic that most of us are basically shouting for not given any break in between despite the so-called revisions. Dramas are still going on endlessly but I have decided to back out for something much worthy; I am back to the usual happy, enjoyable life after all. :D

Moving on with my personal experience about the cruise inspection that I had earlier on December 2011, we were then brought to check out several cabins on the cruise by a pretty girl and a really cute guy.

I was really amazed by the spacious toilet of the cabin and hence, I intended to take a photo to share with my good readers but heck; this lady did NOT just block my sight right in front of my camera.

Some of their executive suites were specially named, and the second room that we were brought to was the Langkawi Suite, featuring a balcony, a Jacuzzi, and a king size bed.

They just had to post for some photos. :P

He's the cute, shy guy that I mentioned earlier in this post! :D

While proceeding to some other cabins on the other side of the cruise, we passed by the main lobby, which was also known as Grand Piazza, with three signature golden horse statues apparently blocked by my ex-colleagues.

We then passed by Blue Lagoon, a restaurant that serves Southeast Asian cuisines.

That's Star Club, one of the casinos on board if I'm not mistaken.

Here's to show you an Oceanview Stateroom with Window, featuring two single beds, one Pullman bed and one single sofa bed, which is capable of accommodating four persons only.

Just as similar as the Oceanview Stateroom with Window, this Inside Stateroom features two single beds convertible to one queen size bed, a wall Pullman bed and a slide bed. However, according to the Star Cruises official website, the other types of Inside Staterooms feature two single beds convertible to one queen size bed, a wall Pullman bed and a sofa bed, or two single beds convertible to one queen size bed, a wall Pullman bed, a slide bed and a sofa bed.

After checking out the cabins, we were then brought to The Lido, a lounge that provides different shows at different times to entertain the guests.

Christmas was exactly ten days after the day of the cruise inspection, which perfectly explained the decorations everywhere around the lobby.

The bullet lifts!

SuperStar Virgo allows people to go shopping on board but it is compulsory to pay by swiping a card given for each guest instead of cash, which was why none of us, unfortunately, had purchased one single thing during the inspection.

Finally, it's time to bid goodbye to this beautiful floating five-star resort as the clock struck 6pm. Just in case if you're wondering, we did not visit any of the facilities on the highest deck of the cruise due to the limited time given. I unwillingly passed my access card to one of the staffs of Star Cruises and left the cruise to enjoy the sunset view while walking back to where we came from.

We were all welcomed by the centre in different languages but I was hoping to be welcomed by the cruise instead; dream on, Jiamin. :( I excitedly sent the Badman a text message, telling him how I wanted to experience a holiday on this cruise one day together with him, and we will definitely save money for this luxurious vacation. Wait for us! :D

Opening ceremony of the cruise inspection.

Things have gone ridiculously out of control that I'm no longer considering about confronting any one of them, to prevent them from making up some more stories that have never occurred, as well as to show how I'm not even bothered about their actions. To be honest, I almost had some temporary mental breakdown when this lady that is of childish-minded told another friend of mine about how I think I'm always perfect, which I obviously never did. Ahhh! Fuck that; my life is clearly never depending on a person with such terrible attitudes, and that she has absolutely no rights to disgrace me in whatever ways. Really, sometimes my attitudes depend on how a person treats me, and my personalities totally reflect what kind of person I am; with some of the important people around me, I believe I will make it through sooner or later.

To continue with my cruise inspection back in December 2011, this post is going to focus mainly on the opening ceremony of the cruise inspection held at somewhere special and spacious on the cruise. Upon entering the main entrance, there was some sort of a karaoke room or a casino (forgotten) located on the right before reaching the staircase. However, photographing was not allowed from the outside, thus no photo of that space to be shown.

We were directed straightaway to a pub by the staff, which was then transformed into a beautiful, classy lounge especially for us.

Unlimited welcome drinks were served to quench our thirst before the people in charge gave speeches of a few minutes.

Bartenders were standing by the bar, preparing to serve the guests with efficient services.

Kak Nora, my ex-manager, was giving her speech to introduce about the Star Cruises.

Followed by one of the representatives from Star Cruises, she basically just wanted us to enjoy throughout the inspection and get to know more about the cruise.

How great if it was of lifetime validity. :P

For your information, Star Cruises was having some SpongeBob mid season promotion specially designed for the kids earlier in 2011, which was up until October of the year. I'm not sure if there's still any ongoing related promotion, though.

One of the staffs from Tradewinds Travel Services who fooled me around on that day itself!

Some finger foods and desserts were served before the cruise inspection to fill up our pathetic stomachs a little. Most of them were amazingly delicious that the clients and I just couldn't stop eating them.

Some decorations on watermelons were displayed beside where the foods were placed at.

The staffs of Tradewinds Travel Services and the chef!

Don't be disappointed to not be able to see the interior of the cruise, just in case you really do, as the photos are coming up pretty soon on the next post. Stay tuned for something interesting about the decks that we were shown! :)
