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

 

 

WOW!!!! That is a very crowded harbor Bill! :D:):D (And suitcase!)

Welcome to Singapore! You should be able to get a good view of Ovation and Mariner from somewhere in the hotel, the cruise port is pretty nearby.

Thank you for the welcome. Too bad our stay is barely 24 hours.

 

Here's Ovation and Mariner.

We have made it on board. Whole process was quick and painless. Even stopped and made all our reservations for our Ultimate Dining Package. Now in Windjammer for lunch.

This is why her suitcase was over weight

This is a small percentage of what occupies what we call Imelda's Closet, my wife is not named Imelda, but she is an Ilocano Filipina.

So we're just now underway. Stopped in the concierge lounge to meet up with Sue and Jim and to enjoy drinks before dinner.

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

Thanks for sharing the experience. We watched a program called luxury Hotels behind the scenes on Netflix last night. They covered your hotel! Just under 10,000 employees and 60 restaurants. They shared how the pool was built and what it took.

 

We are on Ovations in January for a Australia/New Zealand cruise. Sailed Anthem the first time she came came in the Western Mediterranean. Great class of ship!

 

Enjoy and looking forward to the posts! 🍸

We sailed on Ovation of the Seas from Hong Kong to Singapore in November 2016 and had an amazing experience. We also booked with Hong Kong Getaways and had a great day with Mandy. She was such a delight!

 

Enjoy your B2B. Thanks for bringing us along.

Just caught up Bill! Thanks for bringing some sunshine into this dreary, snowy Monday morning here in Chicago! [emoji51]

 

I am enjoying the pics already. New itinerary AND a new ship for me. I think I’m almost as excited as you are! [emoji847]

That is a lot of ladies shoes. Yikes.

Enjoy your cruise! The Marina Bay Sands is a beautiful hotel. While in Singapore last year, we went to the top and had beautiful sights of Singapore. The pool looked amazing.

 

Enjoy the Ovation. Penang is a beautiful city. Phuket is amazing. We spent 5 days there in November in Patong beach. This is where the ships tender in. Brings back our memories of our time there. We loved Phuket.

 

Thanks for sharing your cruise experience with all of us!

tuning in! I have a deposit on the Ovation for next year but since there haven't been many reviews on her I'm a little hesitant.

Enjoy your cruise!

Quantum will be in Singapore as well at the end of the year. Don't let lack of reviews (or negative ones) scare you off.

Wow, beautiful hotel. Enjoy your cruise, looking forward to following along.

Following, have a great cruise, Bill and Marie!

Yes it truly is an amazing hotel. So huge, the "lobby" seems to go on forever

This first cruise we are in cabin 9238, a Spa Junior Suite. I already love the big ceiling shower head. Nice balcony too

Wouldn't get me out there, made me nervous just seeing her there. :eek:

 

Not quite as scary from this angle:

 

Still, don't think I would have ventured near the edge either.
