How do you celebrate your hubby's big 40 and yet do not want to be stuck in this tiny island amidst the pandemic. Well, a 2 night staycation onboard World Dream is what I need to get myself recharged while celebrating my man's birthday in style. Without any hesitation, we booked a luxury Palace Suite and set sail for a 2 nights cruise to nowhere.
It was raining cats and dogs when we board the cruise but nothing could dampen my holiday mood as we headed straight to our suite with much anticipation. The Palace Suite is really beyond my expectation. The room size is big and compartmentalized into 4 segments - a huge bathroom complete with double sink, bathtub and rain shower, a living room equipped with a sofa and 55 inch TV, a huge comfy King size bed and a spacious balcony.
The suite also comes with complimentary wine, soft drinks, beers, snacks and fruits. What's even amazing is that we were assigned a butler who helped us with booking of entertainment shows and restaurants dining. Apart from these, the perks of staying in a suite is that we get priority check-in and check-out (which saves time for impatient people like me), dinning at the specialty restaurants free of charge and accessibility to the exclusive Suite Palace pool (meant only for the Palace Suite guests).
There were plenty of activities to enjoy for a 2 night cruise:
1. Exciting waterslides that set my faint heart pounding as I wheezed down the meandering slides. In fact, there were several slides of varying speed to choose from and we had a hell of a time trying out the different slides.
2. Esport Arena & Arcade for the games lovers, thrilling and full virtual reality (VR) games for the family. The VR games are not cheap but definitely worth the experience.
3. Zodiac theatre that airs performances by renowned dance troupe, showcasing the cruise's production, "Faith". I was totally captivated by the graceful dancers and aerialists. Apart from this, we also enjoyed the magic show by the famous illusionist, Vincet Vignaud. The performance was indeed flawless, leaving us rewarded, enriched and hugely entertained. These shows are definitely world class and not to be missed. We were glad that our butler helped us to pre-book the show in advance as we were told that many could not book the shows due to capacity restrictions.
4. The rope course and zipline is definitely a must try. Basically, we were taught how to handle the hooks before we embarked on this obstacle course on Deck 18. The final part of this obstacle course is to zip ourselves across the water. Totally fun and not scary at all.
5. Mini-golf course and table tennis - These are good recreational activities. However, users need to pre-book for available slots which can be a hassle as these sports can be very popular amongst the children.
Dining is really something that I look forward to at World Dream. We were totally spoilt with a variety of cuisine from countless restaurants & bar concepts on board. Some of the best delicacies which are must tries include the Teppanyaki at Umi Uma. The garlic fried rice and mignon fillet are to die for. Not forgetting the live teppanyaki action brought about by the head chef which is truly entertaining.
Dinning at "The Palace" was equally amazing! Some of the food sampled:
The World Dream also provide happy hour for suite guest where we can order wine absolutely free of charge. We drank to our hearts content. In my opinion, one of the best perks that I enjoyed.
All in all, it was an enjoyable getaway with so much activities to fill our time. It is only a matter of whether you want to engage or not. We were not bored at all!
