Yes. Avoiding Asia cruise after latest negative experience. Again, it’s difference in culture & u’stand’g. Also, nationals of these hv to be given more time to come up to level with their behaviors towards more conscious of & consideration for other users in the same space.

During our last Royal Caribbean cruise trip, it was overflowing with Indian tourists who likely took a flight to Singapore just to board the ship. It was so suffocating and in the buffet served, there were more Indian dishes than other forms of cuisine.

Someone told me, in RC it’s either you meet the tons of tourists from China or India, you choose lor. Lol.

Your RC cruise to which places ah?
I m sailing to Phuket - hope they dun like to go island ... ahhhhh... I thought they just stick to star or dream cruise only ... ?!

No matter how nice I found the countries I tour or visit, the moment the plane touches down at Changi and I walk out of the plane to face the warm air con, I always feel relieved bec this is where my home is.
Though I complain here and there, this is still where my roots are.

Don’t think I can stay in JB Malaysia. Firstly, cannot speak and understand Malay is a barrier. Somehow you will always feel like a 2nd class citizen where good things and treatment are given to the Malays. Also, I cannot agree with their current political head... alway giving us problem and easily jealous of SG. Worst the corruptions are still there. Few weeks ago came across a famous food blogger blogging about paying $100 to their police for speeding Wah I thought now should be no more such corruptions already after the change of their head but still...


Many times before the change of their head, we always kena the police to ask for money at the highway. They always look for SG carplate and when it’s a luxury car. Lucky DH knows how to speak their language. I try not to go in to JB often. Don’t like the jam and the customs officers :roll:

The last we self drive or furthest is desaru - we dun like their road culture - though never travel that far for them to ask me for money , another reason is we dun speak Malay plus driving a conti car - easy target for crooks

If u guys meet Rude Msia car in Singapore road, no need to talk much, just call our local police to settle. Last time , my insurance claim took more than one yr to settle with msia road bullie in spore road - lucky can claim back .

But chances are slip. Our earlier pleasant experience was South Asia covering Philippines island, Sabah & Brunei. That was early 2000. But recent one to Penang was not comfortable.

PRCs & Indians ard trying to live up but unfortunately they’ve yet to live up if they’re not conscious of expectations.

Used to be fun to go on cruise, with fine dining at the captains table, even sunbathing on deck. Ppl are more civil. Now feels like kind of infiltrated. Sorry, just hvnt accepted reality & doubt I’m able to overcome in near future much as i try tell myself to try.

I think I can live anywhere also provided the place has relatively low crime rate and accessible to supermarket..but not those places with streets very dark at night and far away from other houses..that I scared even if in Spore prc that I met so far in china or Spore most of them are quite ok to me lei..on the contrary I find some own people quite unpleasant...not all are bad/good..

Last time when I was working I already know it’s difficult to deal with the Indians (always delay payments)


Had the opportunity to meet a family of Indians when we went Krabi.

We had an unforgettable holiday there as the resort was very good with very spacious room. My children enjoyed the holiday very much except for one excursion to snorkeling where we were stucked with the Indian family LOL

Btw, my children has been asking when can we go Krabi again. Cheap and nice food and DH also tailor made few suits. Quite enjoyable and relaxing ...

4D3N Malaysia? Can’t go far, kids skipped school (Oct period).

Our first time on RC cruise. DH and I were shocked by the large number of Indian tourists. Don’t think we will go back on RC again. 被吓到.

When I checked online, I was wondering why the trip before mine, most cabins were available and on promo wheras the date I chose, most cabins were “sold out”. So “sold out” could mean whole village of PRCs or Indians on board!

I brought my parents and grandma with me and they enjoyed it cos their legs have problem and can’t walk far. Cruise is suitable for families with young children or older folks.

Lee yl we shall take note of that too…
