Legend of the Seas Day 4

In the blink of an eye, it's Day 4. We woke up around 5am++ to nua in bed for our very last morning onboard Legend of the Seas! Bro and mum went to WindJammers Cafe, Deck 9 as early as 6am++ when it opened. They brought back the breakfasts buffet to our room to share. PIG US, so early also wanna eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL.

After eating, we did a final check of our stateroom and left before 7am with our belongings. We queued at our waiting lounge near Champagne Bar, Deck 4 for express departure, i.e. no assistance provided. Awww...... time just flies.

PRO US, we were actually second in queue and left at the earliest possible time, 715am!!!!!! I was so eager and couldn't wait to step out of the ship! Goodbye soon Legend of the Seas..... thank you for giving us such a wonderful adventure onboard! :')

Being early birds, we managed to see the process of how our ship got connected to Singapore! Wheeeeee! Singapore, we're so coming home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We cleared the custom fast, rushed for a cab fast and got home fast. We reached home around 830am++!!!!!!!!!! *Panting*. Oh my...... we actually didn't stop to rest......... cos we just started UNPACKING EVERYTHING. DAMN TIRED.

Unpacking unpacking................. ahhh faint. Unpacking was more draining than packing. I couldn't imagine the distribution part later on...... omg tedious!!!!!!!

We actually happily bought so many photos onboard. LOL.

CLOTHES FOR OURSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THEM ALL!!!!!!!

Food to share with family and friends.... and gifts.

One Royal Caribbean pen from our Room 7108 onboard, souvenirs from Chowrasta Market @ Penang and bear from Little India @ Penang.

Surfers Paradise Slippers from Reject Shop, Jusco @ Malacca!!!!!!!!!! CHEAP LIKE SIAO but I don't have so many legs so I only bought one pair. Heh! Sadly, we didn't manage to spot any souvenirs at Malacca...... Hmm, perhaps that's a sign we should return to my deeply missed Jonker Street some day soon! =P

Once again, thank you Royal Caribbean, Legend of the Seas for the activities-packed 4D3N cruise onboard, the glimpse tours of both Penang and Malacca, and finally a safe platform back to Singapore. Thank you for creating an amazing first ever cruise experience for our family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Legend of the Seas Day 2

Good Morning Day 2! The night before, we placed our breakfast menu order form outside our room and woke up to so much food as early as 730am. LOL I must be too tired yesterday night that I overestimated my orders way too much LOL =x

We ate together, nua-ed in bed for a little while before taking turns to bathe to wake ourselves up. Wakie wakie, it's Day 2 and we will be in Penang real soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As it was still early, we went to Boutiques of Centrum Shops Onboard (Deck 5) around 10am to check out the USD $10 sales. Nothing caught our eyes. We got bored and returned to our room to rest.

We continued exploring our room and found a fridge. Drinks ain't free though so we didn't open anything of course. Boohooooo.

Here comes the funny story. Brother was figuring out the safe and then it got locked and had a continuous loud ringing sound. He called for help and the safe miraculously stopped ringing. We laughed at ourselves for irritating the staff who picked our call and came to our room to only hear us tell him "Oh it stopped ringing already." LOL.

That also prompted us to dial '53' to try out the room service for our lunch around 12pm++ ...... so shiok to just relax on bed and wait for chicken fillets, fries, sandwiches, chips, fruits and vegetables to be served right into our room!!!!!!!! No need for long queues and waiting time today..... Hip Hip Hurray!

We just wanna relax in bed, chat and watch TV together. We listened to mostly a mixture of English and Chinese pop songs on TV. Lazing in bed felt so good and it's a sign that we're getting more used to our room. Hehe! We even took a short nap after lunch to conserve energy for shopping after the ship's docked at Penang.

At 2pm++, we went to our balcony and were greeted by a bird eye's view of WELCOME TO PENANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful sky, beautiful view, beautiful us!!!!!!!!!! The bright sun... the calming waters..... awww.... I don't wanna leave the balcony!

We got so excited again and rushed to That's Entertainment Theatre (Deck 4) meeting point close to 3pm for our Penang Tour instructions. We prepared our tour tickets, tour group number stickers and seapass cards in our hands!

We were then ushered to Deck 2 to leave the ship to Penang Island. Wooohooooo!!!!!!!!! PENANG, HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We hopped onto our bus. Time check: 330pm+ and ready to explore Penang!

See you again tonight Legend of The Seas, NOW SAY HELLO PENANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our eyes had the pleasure of looking at nice sceneries on the bus while we were on our way to Penang Road.....

Famous Penang Laksa - the first mouthful was just so SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No words to describe.

Chendol - not overly special but still alright to eat in the mad hot weather.

CRAZY CROWDS AND QUEUES. It was chaotic because the chendol could not be brought into the laksa area. Everyone just felt lost and most people stood along the streets to gobble up the chendol. CHAOTIC shoutings and scoldings amongst the stall owners, seriously why do this in front of tourists???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We tried not to let our moods get affected and left the chaotic street food area to shop for snacks and clothes.

After shopping, we boarded our tour bus again and headed to Little India to get a better feel of the Indian culture. I guess it's Deepavali period so our tour package brought us to Little India? There was not a single Indian in our tour group but our guide still brought us there..... LOL.

We strolled around and I managed to buy a cute rilakuma small bear at a convenience shop in Little India. LOL! PRO ME, Little India also can buy thing. LOL.

Little India has this Chinese vintage scene too! So old...

We hopped onto our bus to return to our ship......

And look what's awaiting us when we returned to our room!!!!!!!!!!! A cute doggie towel folded by our room attendant to welcome us back!!!! HELLO AGAIN ROOM 7108, LEGEND OF THE SEAS!!!!!!!!!!!! We were also pleasantly pleased with the neatness of our beds.

After we left our shopping stuff in our room, we went for our formal night dinner at Romeo and Juliet Dining Room, Deck 4, Table 68 where we sat with a couple, a small family of 3 and one of the parents' mother. The 10 of us just chatted among ourselves. Everyone looked like Singaporeans so probably that's why we all acted like awkward strangers sitting together. MYOB mindset maybe.

Our dinner menus looked good but the food was nothing too awesome. Everyone left hastily after the desserts.

And we went for night scenery walks onboard Legend of the Seas! Teheeheheheh! We checked out the Shuffleboard, Legend of the Links Golf and Rock Climbing Wall at Deck 10.

Strolling leisurely to digest our dinner, enjoying the views and breeze.......

Chilling at the Solarium, Deck 9 while waiting for the Pizza and Burger Bar to start at 9pm....... Wheeeeeee....

Today, we took the plates of late night snacks back to our room to enjoy! LOL.....

We also started packing all the things we bought at Penang today..... notice my little bear from Little India? :D :D Mummy's looking so sweet with cute doggie btw! :D

And soon we went to bed to after a fulfilling day to await Day 3 Malacca. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~
