Cruise Day 1

Checking into Royal Caribbean Cruises' Legend of the Seas at the new Marina Bay Harbour. It's been over a decade since my last cruise and I am looking forward to this one that will sail to Penang and Malacca. 

It's Christmas time too! First things first, a welcome buffet.

Followed on by a walking tour of the ship's facilities.

The main deck where all the action happens, from live performances to contests and constantly over-run with sporty people.

Apart from the track for your morning run, there is also a rock-climbing wall, miniature golf course and swimming pool. The gym looks out into the deck where morning pilates and yoga classes are held.

The Casino! This is where the older folks are at. I tried the jackpot machines and lotto. I didn't win anything but my mom did win $100 from the 1 cent jackpot machines. 

The kids checking out the view of the ocean from my room. It's amazing to be woken by the morning light that streams through.

Proper dinner seating at the dining hall. This has got to be my favorite part of the cruise. I really hate standing around waiting for empty seats.

An assortment of freshly baked bread at every meal, today there was a special tomato bread I think.

Pan-fried Atlantic Salmon for my mom and Prime Rib for me.

Chocolate cherry tart for dessert.

Post-dinner game of Bingo with the family. Will you look at the size of that game sheet.
