Hello and welcome to Singapore. Immigration was fairly quick, we then grabbed a taxi to the Marina Bay Sands hotel.

Amazing trip - I am engrossed already! Looking forward to all your posts - you have planted a seed of interest for our next big overseas cruise!

We sailed on ovation's pre inaugural voyage and she is a wonderful ship. We have booked her for next year to Alaska from Seattle ( which I see is your home town).

Have a wonderful time [emoji41]

Following, as similar itineraries are definitely on our to do list......eventually :p Great commentary and photos, thank you.

[PCWalton1]

Thanks again to those of you posting.

 

We are still up and running so we took a taxi to the Maxwell Hawker Center for dinner. Great food at a cheap price.

The Hawker Centre looks amazing. There is a good chance you’d have to drag me out of there.

Even though I know there is plenty of space beyond the edge of the infinity edge pool, I still get the willies looking at people sitting on the edge that high up.

Me, too! Great photo of Marie, however, she doesn't seem to mind being close to the edge. :eek:

 

Glad you made it to the Hawker center for food, it's a must-do experience. :)

Amazing photos and amazing trip - thank you for taking the time to post. We loved Singapore and this brings back good memories. If you have time the National botanic orchid garden is great.

Wow what a trip . Enjoy!

Thanks Bill and Marie for sharing.

Thanks

The food was fantastic. I loved the chicken rice the best but the eggs & oysters came in a close second

Here is Ovation pulling into a very crowded Singapore harbor. Our ship is almost in. :D

 

[PCWalton1]

This is why her suitcase was over weight
