The magical cruise to Penang (Malaysia)



We went on this cruise from Singapore to Penang (Malaysia) and back in the last week of January 2015. It was on the Royal Caribbean 'Mariner of the Seas' cruise ship.

Please check this link for details of the cruise ship.

Had booked the 3 nights and 4 days 'Superior Ocean view Stateroom with Balcony' cruise some 3 months in advance because of an ongoing promotion.It was my family's first cruising experience and the same for families of my 7 friends who accompanied us on this magical voyage.

The voyage was full of fun and we all enjoyed every second of it!!

My only little regret though ..........with so many things the cruise offers you to do, see  and experience , had no time left for 'Dolce far Niente'  i.e the art of doing nothing! May be in my next cruise !!!!

Sharing some snaps of this magical cruise.
