Back on board, it was lunch time! This was a short video I made of the lunch experience. Part of the lunch menu. The seafood pasta. The beef, which was really good too! After the lunch, in our usual style, we went to the One Pool and Top Sail lounge to check out the food there, and...

We didn't stay for too long. The kids were getting restless, can't blame them. I caught this sign on the way out. Made me pause. Who was King Ruggero II? Year 1130 AD? Wow. Back home, I googled the name. From wiki, I learnt that this King was Roger II of Sicily. He lived from 1095 to...

PALATINE CHAPEL We made it! Cost to enter was 15 Euros. Today we could see many things. I can't remember how much they charged for my kids but I think it was free of charge. There was a group from MSC too, at least I think so. I say some of the with tour stickers from MSC, and this chap...

A Spanish restaurant in Dempsey Hill area, where we had a gorgeous meal. Cartoons on the Singapore MRT carrying some public service message.

This is Nespresso's flagship store in Singapore, located in the ION Orchard. Salvador Dali mini exhibition, located in the same Orchard ION Mall.

This video shows you snippets of the walk. As we head out of the ship, there were many private tour vendors and tuk-tuk drivers canvassing for business. So, plenty of private tour options, and there was no real need to book a ship's tour. In case you are wondering how I navigated the walk...

DAY 3 PALERMO ITALY Today was Day 3 of our 7N cruise. The ship MSC Preziosa was due to dock at Palermo, Italy. Check out the MSC Daily. Arrival was 10am and all aboard at 1630. The day in port wasn't too long, but we'll make do. Palermo is the capital city of Sicily, and I am sure it had a...

DAY 2 DINNER Alright, we have reached dinner on Day 2. Second of seven wonderful dinner onboard MSC Preziosa Yacht Club. First let's check out the menu. There was shrimp cocktail this evening. I am going to have that! For the main, I was going to choose the meat, which is from the Tex Mex...

GOING FOR THE SHOW This evening, we decided to go watch the show first before going to dinner. Well, we were very full from afternoon tea. The show was advertised as SWING, featuring 2 singers and the Preziosa dancers. This was the main theater, which was very large. I think it seats about...

Continuing on the theme of being hungry and food, today was also the first time we experienced Afternoon Tea on the MSC Preziosa Top Sail lounge. Afternoon tea is served from 5pm to 6pm, everyday. Some of the tables in the lounge were laid out for tea. You don't have to pre-book. Just turn...

They had a small toy shop onboard which sold interesting stuff. They carried some LEGO Star Wars, which caught the attention of my kids. Yeah, we bought it for them. Prices were pretty reasonable, I thought. And indeed, they were reasonable because when we went back to London, UK after the...

Back on the ship and we were hungry! Didn't eat too much while on shore, just snacked enough to keep us going. Looking back at the photos/videos, I laugh at how 'greedy' we were. After putting our stuff in the cabin, we went first to the Top Sail lounge to grab a bite. My kids had a dirty...

After breakfast, we still had some time and went to the Top Sail lounge. We found many more pax there, having their breakfast. Well, the lounge is much nearer all our cabins, so I can understand why. Here is a video of the breakfast items in the Top Sail lounge. The items they have for...

DAY 2 of Cruise - Civitavecchia Had a good sleep (the seas were very calm) and now we start Day 2 of our 7N cruise. The ship was scheduled to dock at Civitvecchia at 8pm and I think we were on time. Let me start with some stills of the Daily. Second part of the front page. The show...

After dinner, we wandered around the ship a bit. Went into the Sports Bar and managed to catch this family playing with the bowling alley. Quite cute. I think it costs 6 Euros a game. I should have more video footage of the Sports Bar later in the cruise. Ah ha, I found this photo...

First dinner Yacht Club Restaurant Greetings from Singapore on a Christmas Day. I am posting this in the afternoon (local time) of 25th Dec 2015, in Singapore. We thank God for all His blessings, including our wonderful travels to see the world, and enjoy the MSC cruise! As a family, when...

Thanks for your comment. Good question! Prior to sailing with MSC, we have sailed with RCL many times (we are Diamond status on NCL), and we have also sailed once with Celebrity and NCL. So we were most curious to see what the differences would be. The bottom line is that the MSC cruise line...

There would be a compulsory lifeboat drill coming back so the plan was to head back to our cabin. Along the way, we passed the Solarium. Pretty busy! A picture of the tables. This is the floor overlooking the Solarium. See this video which gives you an idea how busy the hot tubs at the...

Caffeteria Italiana Next, we walked into the Caffeteria Italiana. This place must be modelled after a traditional Italian cafe. I found it very pleasant. We had walked through this cafe earlier today, while boarding. This is a video I made, which includes a significant part of the menu. A...

THE ONE POOL Alright, we have seen the Top Sail Lounge. What about the private pool? Let's go check it out. They call it, the ONE POOL. The name puzzled me a bit. Why call it the ONE pool? Anyway, the pool area for YC was contained within the YC itself. Access if via an internal elevator...
