Post-Trip Recollections - Final Cruise onboard Spectrum of the Seas before Homeport switch
Thus far, my only cruises have been onboard Royal Caribbean's Spectrum of the Seas. Prior to this cruise, I had previously sailed thrice onboard the same ship, including a 12-night cruise from Yokohama to Singapore. These sailings had helped me made many friends including both fellow passengers and crew. I had met many wonderful people during these trips.
Therefore, I decided to make one last sailing onboard the ship before it repositioned from Singapore to China in April 2024. This cruise was a 4-night sailing in March 2024 for a return trip from Singapore to Penang and Phuket.
After three previous cruises onboard the same ship over a period of two years, I am rather familiar with the ship, its layout and its facilities. Thus, finding my ways around the ship was no issue. On the flip side, there was less exploring to do!
Entertainment-wise, I had actually watched all the onboard shows before but still watched them anyway during this trip. I did notice that even for the same shows, there were some slight variations in performances between those staged on the different cruises I was on. Whether these were by design or not, I am none the wiser.
I also enjoyed the daily activities especially the Silent Dances. And of course, the food at Windjammer, the Main Dining Room (a.k.a. MDR), Silver Dining, SeaPlex Dog House and the CAFÉ @ TWO70.
The Bumper Cars were fun and the music at the Schooner Bar was awesome as usual. And there were always the fun stroll at the Esplanade where the onboard shops are located. My favourite SkyPad, was closed during this sailing though.
As I disembarked the Spectrum of the Seas on the morning of the disembarkation day at Singapore's Marina Bay Cruise Centre, I silently bade a fond farewell to the ship that had introduced me to the joys of cruise vacations. Until the next time, goodbye Spectrum!
