Post Cruise Tours in Singapore Recommendations

My husband and I have ~12 hrs after leaving our ship before getting on a plane in Singapore on 3/31/13. Are there any recommendations as to 'good' tours and tour guides?

You could always take the HOHO bus. There are several different routes and you can stop and prowl around Orchard Road, Raffles, Chinatown, Little India, Arab Street, etc. You can pick it up at the Marina Sands Hotel, which is visible from the port. You'll have to take a taxi, even though it looks like you could walk--you can't--it's all torn up and under construction. The cruise terminal is uber-modern, I don't remember actually seeing luggage lockers there, but I'd be surprised if they didn't have them. Enjoy beautiful Singapore!

We did arrive into Marina Bay Cruise Terminal (Millennium Celebrity) - there are two terminals)

Stored our louggage at the cruise terminal and took a taxi down town - walked through the town. Then a taxi back to the terminal - picking up luggage and then change clothing for the flight and a taxi to airport - cost for storage and taxi to/from city and to airport S$ 66.

Here is two short videos

Also a small fold up rain jacket or rain coat, as umbrellas are useless in the torrential rainstorms. Otherwise, just find somewhere to wait until the heavy rain clears.
