Why I'm not going back to Royal Carribean's Spectrum of the Seas Singapore (kinda😂) / Cruise Review

[@DemiZhuang]

Hope you guys had a good Monday! Sorry this trip isn't as detailed as you'd like it to be but if you do have any questions, do pop them down here or DM me on Instagram! I'm finally feeling back to normal now after 1 week ~😅

[@miiigoreng]

Just disembarked this morning from SG-Penang-Phuket. The crowd has been horrendous. Hardly any rooms to breathe. On board shows are limited in seats & quickly snapped up. People queued at least 30-45mins to play 2mins of bumper car. Food is the only thing worth remembering.

[@anamericaninchina869]

The feeling of dizziness is normal. It passes after a day or two. Don’t let that stop you if you love it!❤

[@naggasan]

Just sharing . Totally agree that bottled water is overpriced. Actually most extras are overpriced. Hygiene and cleanliness is the top most priority for all cruise operators. The last thing they want is for guests to fall ill and start spreading. So it is perfectly safe to consume boiled water from your cabin. Just that you felt that it tastes weird. (Cruise hack - get some lemon, squeeze into the water to eliminate the weird taste). Anyways all water from the ship comes from the same source. Be it from MDR, WJ, or other restaurants. So water is perfectly safe to drink. Btw, your cruise fare included all the food you can eat from the included joints. Technically, F&B are not free. Another cruise hack is to bring along some motion sickness medication for your future cruise. Cheers.

[@DemiZhuang]

Funny enough I took motion sickness pill during. But thanks for sharing! I did enjoy the cruise though.

[@tonyfred123]

That wobbly feeling is normal after cruising

[@simple-run]

Hello. On the Main Dining Room menu, I saw several drinks without prices indicated. Are they also complimentary?

[@pyt6631]

Super good commentary!! This is basically Cruise Trip 101 for cruise newbies

[@gilazz]

I paid extra US$168 per adult for speciality dining. I ate Jamie's, chops twice, Tapenyakki and Izumi twice. Much cheaper than dining out in SG.

[@DemiZhuang]

Wow were they good? :) Does that mean that you didn’t try the complimentary food?

[@gilazz]

@@DemiZhuang only breakfast at silver dining. Kids did try sausage, pizza at other times. This speciality unlimited dining is only available via advance booking. Around 3 weeks before trip. If not it will be US 55 to 65 per pax per restaurant.

[@DemiZhuang]

Sounds really good! Maybe next time when I do go for a cruise with my family :)

[@Vvviiib08]

How long did it take for you to recover from that land sickness feeling?

[@DemiZhuang]

A week hahaha 😂

[@melvintan6845]

Hi Demi, I was onboard recently and the gym is opened from 6am onwards. In fact, I reached there t 5.45am and it is already opened by then.

[@DemiZhuang]

Wow! Thats really good! Great for morning people!

[@loneralways9324]

does it close at 8pm?

[@nataliaharryanto5139]

Thank you for the thorough info about the cruise. May I know which did you go for that cruise? Any recommended month/season? Thanks before

[@DemiZhuang]

Hmm I went in August if I dont remember wrongly. No particular month.

[@snowbuny2]

Thanks for the detailed review. I have bad motion sickness and now reconsidering the trip. Haha Any idea if any of the cafes carried decaf coffee?

[@DemiZhuang]

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, much appreciated :) Ahh motion sickness can be worst than what I've exoerienced though, do reconsider 😩 doesn't feel good to be paying so much but suffer onboard. Oh. I'm not too sure about the decaf coffee, sorry about that!

[@anniewong1088]

Yes they do provide decaf coffee.

[@naggasan]

Decaf coffee is available from WJ, SORRENTO'S, 270, MDR. Just ask the crew.

[@punitakhanna9946]

Hi, What was your boarding time slot for cruise? In windjammer and MDR plain water is provided at table or no?

[@DemiZhuang]

1130am. Water given in their cups. Not sure if you can ask them to refill your bottles.

[@punitakhanna9946]

[@kmdvm747]

Hi! What about the internet package? Do we need to purchase or there is available connection on board for free?

[@DemiZhuang]

no internet. you need to purchase.

[@gelica401]

I never hopped on a cruise ship without getting Dramamine! You were on a cruise for a couple of days so you're gonna have sea legs...i always get that whenever we go on cruises no matter how many times i've gone!

[@DemiZhuang]

🥲

[@Travellers_footage]

I dont think it is the cruise because you could have gotten giddy after your sleep as how i felt at home but on quantum of the seas, i nvr felt this

[@DemiZhuang]

I see!

[@jhejebelandres4136]

Hi.. is there any covid test or antigen before the cruise?

[@DemiZhuang]

Hi, yes! I had to, not sure if you still have to. We had to arrange for our own.

[@gamerbotak168]

Wow... Then we need to visit windjammer for free mineral water?

[@DemiZhuang]

I would usually refill it there or main dining!

[@ezann]

How is the internet connection? Thanks

[@DemiZhuang]

Need to buy

[@traveldestination4243]

Which cruise is good royal Caribbean or dream cruise?

[@DemiZhuang]

I have never been on Dream Cruise, so can’t compare! 😅

[@iwonthavesubs7772]

Hii what I know is dream cruise is worse as the staff are short and you cant find them anywhere thts one of the reasons why I rather royal Caribbean

[@naggasan]

I tried both and never gonna Dream cruise again. They limit your meal daily. Strictly 3 meals per day. Pay if you want to eat more. The food is below average. The buffet tastes like canteen food. Chinese Restaurant fixed set meal - no other options. Western restaurant totally cannot compare with Royal. That's my personal 2 cents sharing. Cheers

[@traveldestination4243]

@@naggasan In terms of indian vegetarian food option which cruise is good ?

[@vivovivere9858]

Dream Genting. 😁 economic cruze than luxury Royal Carrebian✌️

Nice sharing video, i just came back and I feel dizzy too!

[@DemiZhuang]

Thank you! Hopefully it’ll wear off soon for you! Take care.

[@jonassantiago4737]

Why do you need to pay for water? Didn't you buy drink special package?

Cause it’s insanely expensive to buy the drinks package.

[@jameshsu4335]

Cruising in not for everyone and particularly if you aren't accustomed to the ocean. I wouldn't blame Royal Caribbean for that as your thumbnail suggests.

[@DemiZhuang]

All about perception

[@asurajeff6316]

Hello i gotta question, whats the duration for us to explore outside the ship?

[@DemiZhuang]

Heyy! Ship will dock around 9am and we’ll have to return by 5pm!

[@ustradingdiary]

Just travel places like bali, Chiang Mai, danang to chill. It will be cheaper also. Don't think cruise is worth it. Actually is more expensive.

[@DemiZhuang]

Agree depending on the itinerary it’ll be cheaper. Haha cruising was an experience!

Halal Food Available?

[@DemiZhuang]

I got this from their website - "We offer Halal meat on sailings departing from Dubai and Singapore only. Halal meat is meat prepared as prescribed by Islamic law. Halal meats are served only in the main dining room. We do not offer Halal "meals" - we offer Halal meat, either beef (steak) or chicken. Requests for Halal meat must be submitted via the Special Needs form, 90 days prior to sailing." Link here - www.royalcaribbean.com/aus/en/faq/questions/can-we-offer-halal-meals

[@mikhaeladivina9365]

Can you bring your own bottled water?

[@DemiZhuang]

Yes

[@EnviroSwift]

If you have sea sick then you shouldn't go for it

[@DemiZhuang]

Haha you wouldn't know until you actually try. Everyone is different and FYI, it's not sea sickness. It's called Mal de Debarquement or "MdDS" is a type of vertigo and imbalance that mainly occurs after getting off of a boat.

[@JaswantSingh-qp8wh]

The ship is so steady you don't even feel it is moving until you look out

[@steveong4738]

Was the seas very stormy from Singapore to Penang and Phuket that caused motion sickness? Grateful for your comments on the stormy seas.

[@NoName-qh8rv]

Bad! Big buddha at puket tour by royal carribean on spectrum of the sea is BAD! The main attraction is the big budda and only given 30 mins to tour around the attraction place. Most of the time is wasted on the "mount sheng" museums and free & easy at old puket town. Furthermore, lunch was not provided. All this cost 100 USD per pax. I have 4 person and total cost 400 USD, with this amount i can have a private tour without rushing.

[@nvk_2778]

What about Penang activities?

[@haoraosoundbar1020]

We dunno each other but after seeing ur fingers at the early part of the vid, I'd advise u to start taking glucosamine suppliments. U will see them straighten soon. I hv nothing to gain by telling u this nor is promoting any brand to u. U r the only one to gain if u chose to heed my advise. But it's ur choice. Take care young lady. Old grey haired man here 😊
