Finally off the boat! 😭
It's really hard to quit these days
Share my 6 days 5 nights itinerary and dining and entertainment experiences🎉
📅 Daily itinerary
Day 1 (Boarding Day)
🛳️ I only arrived at 12:30-13:00 when I checked in online, but I can actually enter the security check if I arrive earlier
After arriving at the port:
1️⃣ Check your luggage first (the staff will help you tie your luggage tag)
2️⃣ Bring your 📄 passport, printed boarding pass and passport photocopy to security check
👉 Passports will be collected during the period
After boarding around 12:30, you need to go to the designated area for safety learning before going to the sailing buffet restaurant on the 14th floor for lunch🍴
13:30 The rooms are all ready, the room card will be placed at the door, the luggage will be delivered to the door🎒
Day 2 & Day 5 (Sailing Day)
🌞 Best for experiencing onboard restaurants and entertainment
💙The sea water is super blue these two days, great for taking pictures📸
⚠️ Remember to collect your passport on the fifth day!
Day 3 & Day 4 (Shore Tour)
I opted for the official regular shore excursion🚌
