Today we were in Singapore. I guess they got the problems with the ship fixed. We were only 30 minutes late. We docked at approximately 9:30 am. It was raining. Hopefully it won't be like that all day.
Each person getting off the ship had to go through a face to face immigration leaving the ship and returning to the ship. There was quite a long line when we got off the ship but it went quickly. Getting back on the ship went quickly as there weren't that many people getting back on when we did. I think they were all in the ship terminal using the free wifi. They probably waited until the last minute to board.
There was a free shuttle to the Millennia Walk Mall. It was about a 15 minute ride. With it being Sunday there wasn't much traffic. Once we got off the shuttle we walked to the Singapore Flyer. It is much like the London Eye but bigger (I think I read that somewhere). We had purchased our tickets ahead of time. Once we picked up the tickets we went up to board. There weren't many people in line so we waited 5 minutes max if that much. The ride lasts 30 minutes because it goes around slowly. The views of Singapore were great.
After we finished with the Singapore Flyer we stopped at a "Fish Spa" where little fish eat the dead skin off your feet. It felt really funny and tickled. This took around 30 minutes. Then we were off to the Hop on Hop off bus. We took the red route which took a little over an hour to go around. We didn't get off at any of the stops because we were running out of time. There were shopping malls all over the place -- a lot of them very high end.
We walked back to the Millennia Walks Mall to catch the shuttle. It was about 4:30 or so and I was starved. We hadn't eaten since breakfast so we found this little fast food place right by the shuttle and got a quick snack. It was next door to Outback Steakhouse which had free wifi so I was able to tap into that while we were there.
After a quick snack and rest we caught a shuttle and went back to the ship. We had just enough time to clean up before time for dinner.
After dinner we came back to our room so we could watch the sail away from Singapore. We then went to the show in the showroom -- a singer. She was very good. I had seen here earlier in the cruise. Still looking for something to do, we went to the Piano Bar and listened to this guy play the piano and sing. I couldn't sit still through that so I asked if we could go somewhere else. We went to another bar to listen to the entertainment but it was so bad we left after about 15 minutes.
We got on the elevator to go back to the room (so I thought) and Pat mentioned going up to the 14th floor. That is where the buffet is. I told her I didn't want anything but I would go. She announced that she wanted to go to the movies. I knew I didn't want to do that. Terry had already punched 10 on the elevator. I told her I was getting off on 10 and that Terry could go with her to the movies. So that was how the night ended.
