One of the perks of staying in a Balcony-class cabin is that we were given $100 dining credits. Spent it all at the Noble House (Chinese restaurant) when we ordered a set meal for lunch. It was the best food I had on the cruise!



Our cruise stopped at Redang island, and we went down for a little while since we have not visited Redang island before.



Besides utilizing the ferries, a couple of the “escape pods” were used to ferry passengers to and from Redang island.







It was only a few minutes walk to the beach after we landed at Redang island. Those who did not wish to walk in the heat could take a free ride.



The beach! The weather as great, the sand was powdery, and the view was magnificent.





Just .. too many people, I guess.



Stalls selling food and drinks were set up to cater to the influx of cruise passengers.



Snapped a picture of the resort accommodations Redang island.



Ah. How nice it would be to spend a little time doing absolutely nothing by the beach.



Overall, I would say that the cruise on SuperStar Virgo hasn’t sprang any surprise, and it was exactly what I have expected.

The service was OK, but nothing excellent or outstanding – definitely some hits and misses. We didn’t like the fact that the staff on the cruise seemed to be trying too hard to make us spend more. If the chance comes again, I’ll probably go for Royal Carribean instead!
