Review: Royal Caribbean Spectrum Of The Seas 3-Night Penang Cruise – Part 3

On Day 3, we had a bright and early start at the FlowRider Surf Simulator on Deck 16 as the private time slot for Key guests was 9am to 10am. Note that the recommended attire is swimwear that doesn’t come off easily as the force of the waves is powerful enough to disrobe a person. … More Review: Royal Caribbean Spectrum Of The Seas 3-Night Penang Cruise – Part 3

Review: Royal Caribbean Spectrum Of The Seas 3-Night Penang Cruise – Part 2

Review: PARKROYAL On Beach Road Hotel – Club Premier & Executive Suite (Singapore)

Situated on the fringe of Singapore’s Kampong Glam heritage neighbourhood, guests at this hotel have easy access to the surrounding cultural spots, as well as nearby shopping malls. But given the less-than-ideal stay here the last time, I must admit it was a rather tough decision whether or not to give this property another shot. … More Review: PARKROYAL On Beach Road Hotel – Club Premier & Executive Suite (Singapore)
