Because the ship had problems with its propulsion system, we spent more days at sea than originally scheduled. However, Cory and I didn't mind and spent our days in the spa and our evenings in the casino. Marla won the blackjack tournament and the slot pull tournament. What else do you do with sea days? We have 6 tee shirts now from the NCL casino to remember our fun there.
Our favorite city was Singapore
. It has to be the cleanest city in the world. Gum is outlawed and there's a heavy fine if you are caught with it. Cars are all newer than 10 years old and if the car is dirty, it can get you a fine! The streets and buildings are clean and well groomed. Really a beautiful city. We spent two days in Singapore, so the first evening we went to the Night Safari where we watched a show with nocturnal animals and rode a tram throughout a zoo that features nocturnal animals. After the zoo we stopped at Chinatown to see the markets at night and have a bite to eat. It was the Chinese New Year, so many decorations and lights made the area very festive. Our second day in Singapore we visited the Gardens by the Bay. This botanical gardens features two massive greenhouses, the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest, and we really enjoyed walking through these domes.
Back on the ship for more sea days, we took a tour behind the scenes of our ship. We were shown the massive laundry with its huge washing machines, and sheet and towel folding machines. Next we went to the theatre and saw the dressing rooms and a show in rehearsal. Our last stop was the kitchen where chefs were preparing the many meals onboard the ship. We played more in casino and won some more money in tournaments. This was great fun and we met some wonderful people.
Last stop we have pictures to share was in Benoa, Bali. We took a tour of Benoa in the morning, stopping to watch a Native Bali Barong show and dance. After visits to a silver factory and a textile factory, we tasted some native Balinese food for lunch. Then the afternoon was spent at the Adi Spa where we had massages. One last stop at the Benoa Golf Course for our friend to buy a hat in the pro shop, and we headed back to the ship.
