Singapore & Penang Cruise by Royal Caribbean I Cruising my way

             This was our first cruise experience. It was to be with Voyager of The Seas from Royal Caribbean Cruiseline. It was a 3 nights' cruise from Singapore to Penang and back. We searched for best cruise packages for that time and came out with Cruisebay's offer as the best and cheapest.Our tour was in the month of Sept end.
             The departure time for the cruise was at noon. We reached Singapore early in the morning, a day before our cruise departure date. We only booked the Penang shore-excursion from Royal Caribbean and did the Singapore inland tour ourselves.We booked the hotel at Singapore online before taking the trip from India.
