Sun, Sea, and the Ship

Life on cruise (Onboard) is different as to life on land to. You lose the sense of time and even sense of the day. Luckily, there is a reminder of the day on the floor of each elevator and it is promptly changed every day. This was my first cruise experience. I was amazed at the world they have created onboard on the ship itself. They have clearly realized that ship can be used for more than just transport. They have plenty of activities to offer you irrespective of the age you belong. If you are the ones for adventures they have rock climbing, i-Fly and Flow rider. If you want to try something new they have Latin dance and paper or towel folding activities. They also have trivia competitions and bingo. And all this while I use to think that the activities come to an end once the sun goes down. To my surprise another day begins after sunset as well, when you are on cruise because you have plenty of artists like singers, comedians, magicians and cabaret dancers onboard to entertain you all through the night.
You have a variety of cuisines to choose from. They have wide spread buffet for lunch. Over 6000 meals are served each day onboard. You have to only walk in the place at “Wind-jammer” where the buffet is laid out. You can also choose to walk in the Pizza bar called “Sorrento” where we get pizza whenever you wish to eat. You can also add coffee and pastry at Sorrento. They also have a smoked hotdog corner. They are delicious too. Given the hospitality of the staff and food I would say they really spoil you.
Given the safety measures, a chance to "travel" out of Singapore. "Cruise to Nowhere" or Quantum of the Seas as the name of ship is the best chance to get a vacation with a difference, before the travel borders open up again.

In the end, I would say cruise is what you want to make of it. It offers a pleasurable variety for us to choose. Three days of digital detox works wonder although they have good Internet packages if you want to buy or attend any urgent work related things.
It is an experience worth taking plunge into.
