We stayed in Singapore the night before in the Copthorne riverfront hotel where we were able to walk along the river before being picked up by taxi at 1pm. Embarkation was very quick as we are elite we were put through a short queue. With all visas checked and in order we were onboard within 1/2 hour.
Cabin was available when we boarded at 1.30 and cases arrived about 4 in time for muster which was crowded but quick.
the cabin 1126 was excellent, just what we ordered, peaceful and kept very clean with a good shower.
excellent position inside on deck 11. Just step outside and you are onto the open deck or use steps down to the Oceanview Cafe and bar.
These cabins are very quiet , the only noise heard is when docking
We like the inside cabins on 11, used the telephone for alarm calls
walked along the beach
took excursion with celebrity to the tea plantation. good comentary on the bus, thought it was a good trip as different to a beach trip but typical of SirLanca. Enjoyed the tea factory and walking in the bungalow grounds
enjoyed walking through the town
