Voyager of the Seas Picture Review Singapore to Shanghai June 2012

[Iluvcruising2]

Lunch time. This is the other MDR menu for lunch. As mentioned earlier, there were only 2 MDR lunch menus.

 

 

We loved the salad bar. We had it every time we ate in the MDR for lunch.

 

[Iluvcruising2]

Barramundi Fish was good.

 

 

Tomato Risotto not bad too.

 

[Iluvcruising2]

It is no longer a secret. We cruise to eat the desserts! We ordered every dessert on the menu - there were 4. The waitress magically turned up with 5!

 

AWESOME. Here we go:

 

The crepes - highly addictive.

 

Praline chocolate crunch.

 

Almond Polenta Cake

 

The banana thingy.

 

And the bonus cake.

Looking at this picture, you'd think the entire cruise was made up of Caucasians.

 

 

Drink of the day @ 6.25 before gratuity.

Day 4 afternoon - they held 2 ice shows. In total there would be 4 ice shows. There were 3,200 pax on board. The ice venue (Studio B) could hold 750. So they divided us into 4 groups.

 

Our group was the very first ice show on Day 4. Show started at 1:30pm. Doors opened at 1pm. By 12:50pm, there was already a long line.

 

We went early to get good seats. Managed to get front row but not in the main block.

 

 

Taking videos and photos were allowed, as long as flash was not used. Show was fast-paced and entertaining.

 

 

The ice-skaters invited the woman to be part of the performance. Now you know where to sit if you want to get involved!

 

 

 

The show was certainly one of the highlights of our cruise. I have never seen anything like it before.

After being majorly disappointed with RCL´s menu items in the past 3-4 years and especially onboard the Brilliance this last April with the worst food ever (yes, it was that bad!), I am very happy to see lot´s of new items on the menu. Looks like I can await a big improvement there for my October cruise.

 

No need to say how much I also love your review with all the pictures! Thank´s so much for sharing this with the world...

Loved their change in costumes and all the vibrant colours. Quite a sight.

 

Ok, ok, you're strong.

Thank you. My wife and I have benefitted much from reading cruise critic over the past year or more.

 

This is pay-back time. ;)

 

More pictures coming up.

Day 4 - dinner @ MDR

Thai style beef salad - 'moos' not included.

 

Crab cake, claws were nowhere to be found.

 

Kung-Pao chicken. Seriously, not up to mark. I suggest to rename "Kung-Fu chicken" instead. Kung-Pao chicken creates high expectations amongst many Chinese.

Loving your pictorial review. Thanks so much for taking the time!

[Iluvcruising2]

This was the Con-something pasta. I hope I didn't get conned. Not too bad, but then again, I'm no pasta expert. I cruise to try food.

 

My share of the Lasagne. Decent quality. Ok, the secret is ok. Bread plates are for eating Lasagne & all sorts of other stuff. We belong to the nation of Why Not?

 

The pan-seared fillet of soul.... oops, sorry I meant sole.

Loving your pictorial review. Thanks so much for taking the time!

 

Glad you are liking it.

 

I thought of just creating a wall of text.

 

But that wouldn't work well.

 

We all have different perspectives.

 

Words just can't convey what the pictures can.

[Iluvcruising2]

Dessert menu. Nothing spectacular, so I won't be posting the dessert pics. Berrymisu was quite nice though.

 

After dinner, photo of Royal Promenade. I quite like the colours!

 

People walking around.

Day 5! Today, we reach Hong Kong! Exciting... ;)

Thanks you so much for this review. As a Vietnam vet I find the pictures fascinating.

[Iluvcruising2]

But before we arrive, we had Dreamworks Character Breakfast again! Back-to-back! We got to move-it, move it!

Well, the docking arrangements in HK were rather complicated. Ship was scheduled to arrive at 4pm and anchor in Junk Bay. Tender operations would begin and tenders would continue till 1230.

 

Then at about 4am, the ship would move to Modern Terminal. The next day, shuttle bus services would be available from Modern Terminal to Central HK.

 

 

The tenders could seat about 250 to 300 passengers.

It is past 1am, local time. Time for me to get some sleep.

 

Will continue to post tomorrow. Good night people!

This was our first cruise as Platinum members. Our lapel pins were delivered to the stateroom. Nice.

 

 

Where there a lot of platinum and above members?

[ronpes]

Great review. Cant wait to read more tomorrow.

[hengkee]

They call this Bay Scallop Gratin. Duh. I propose to rename it to "Escargot no more!" Seconders please raise your hands!

Escargot no MORE!

 

This is nice !!! my family and me love it so much during our trip on 7th June 2012 to 11th June 2012 ...thanks for the nice photo..

[Baseball fan]

Cannot wait to read about Hong Kong. It is one of my favorite cities. Thanks for writing the review.

[go fish 44]

Love, this review and the pictures. Having just gotten off Mariner in Rome the menus are same. Love the salad bar in MDR at lunch.

 

Looking forward to Asis next year.
