      Oh I tot you wanted to change the timing. Yes, the gratuity is prepaid. We don't have to pay anything extra. On the other hand, my in laws on international cruise are required to pay though. So it depends. I guess Asian cruise and international cruise are different ba. šŸ™‚
      Forgot to check with the staff just now during first day is it 1.5 hr before the boarding time or the actual boarding time?

      Need to bring toothbrush or toothpaste? Allow to bring packet drinks there?

      Cash all paid in S$ on board for additional things to buy?

        U can board around noon time. It should be indicated in the information booklet which u can download after u login. I remember having a very relax buffet lunch before the ship set sail. šŸ™‚

        Drinks are not allowed to be brought in but nobody checked anyway. Toothbrush and toothpaste, usually we brought along our own when we travelled.

        All are settled in US dollar on board. I suggest u change unless u don't mind using credit card to pay. I think there is a surcharge for using credit card.

              A little bored after only one day.


              We sign up for a short trip only. Nothing much to do, even my child also feels bored. Eat, sleep and watch TV most of the time. The ship is very stable which is a good thing.

                      Hi,


                      Did anyone just came back from this cruise? Any feedback on the food and etc. I heard must wear formally especially for one night dinner. Did anyone go city tour at Langkawi? Is it worth for the city tour?

                        I have not been on this particular ship but have been on other ships in the RC family. I think all RC cruises have at least one formal night. If you do not wish to dress up, you can still dress down that night but you'll need to eat at the windjammer which serves buffet rather than eat at the main dining room. My experience on diff RC cruises have all been good. Never had an issue with their food. You have lots of choices and service has always been excellent esp in the main dining room.

                        Not sure what are the shore excursions they have in Langkawi, but we went of star cruise once and their show excursion at langkawi was not good at all. Went to the aquarium and shipping, nothing to shop. That was some years back. Langkawi now has a sky bridge and you need to take a cable car up. Beautiful view up there. So if you must do a shore excursion in Langkawi, I suggest picking one with this.
