Costa Victoria

Had a chance to be on board of this cruise :) Everything is in USD, so sometimes you got to calculate before you really start to spend.

As compared to Star Cruise, the room & toilet is seemingly smaller when i compare their BALCONY Cabin. Everything is a 1-step away sort of feeling, at 1time only 1person can walk around the area. Oh well, i dont really spend alot of time in the cabin, so just as well...
I linked my room card to my Credit Card so that it's easier to make payment via this machine that is made available. Saves the time when settling bill too.


Food wise, it wasnt too bad, but the food is sort of repeated for the few days unless you visit other restaurants. And i am kind of impressed that you get to choose to eat elsewhere without paying as i am without credit :p I must watch out for my spending so i will be concerned if i need to pay.
 
There is also a GALA night whereby most of the people are being dressed up. This is held in a more classy restaurant whereby every cabin is already pre given a Table No and timing to abide by. Food served there are pretty good and I enjoyed most of them alot.

Activity wise, it's normal with indoor pool, outdoor pool, table tennis etc... Indoor pool is more of for soaking yourself in water to enjoy the 'heat' but the water is way too hot for me until i had to escape off to the outside one.


Casino is not my cup of tea and the casino there is really very small and sort of limited to me, everyone can walk past there including those under 18 but those under 18/21 cant stay there to watch, they will be asked to go ASAP. (Weird, i suppose if they want to be safe it's best to keep them out but it's a Common Walkway, people cant help but stop their footsteps.                                               Every night, they do have daily performances and this is one that is Highly Recommended if you have a chance and if they do print it on their 'TODAY' As it will be issued only at night for you to know about next day's activity :) The show is really good!!!!!

This is one of the Tender Boats that i took to go to Malacca as they do not have a proper port, we can only hop on to the small tender boat to go on shore. As i was feeling kind of bored, i decided that i go out alone to have some access to WIFI and as well as have a walk because i have somehow finished exploring the ship, so it's time for walking/shopping/massage. The tender boat will stop off at a little pier and we will walk to the nearby shopping centre which is about a 5-8min walk. :) I spend most of my RM there but i was kinda satisfied and after the foot massage, i really slept very well, which i guess partly because i didnt sleep well past few nights. so after the massage i felt so good and relaxed that i slept like a baby even though i had coffee in the afternoon. ;p

Staff on board were nice people and their service is pretty good. :) I will miss some of them!!!
