verdict of a land cruiser turned seafarer

hmm...what can i say? it is a different experience all together. the mode of transportation here is a ship which moves you from port to port. your time on the land is quite fixed and everything is like touch and go. just as you get to know the place a little, you will have to leave to the next port of embarkation.
it is more suitable for those who want a relaxing, just cruise along sort of holidays. those who want to get a tan, this is your place: deck 8. i still prefer those where you get to stay at a place for a few days and explore every lane and corners at your own pace and make discoveries as you stumble along kind. i feel too relaxed in this trip. haha. most of the passengers on the ships are in their golden age...happy couples enjoying their pension years...70% whites. the rest are malaysians who boarded in port klang. food was great, the dessert corner was my hunt. you will feel so sick of seafood after the 3rd day. the cabin i was in was rather cramped for four persons. two is ok. we did not check the price for 2 in the first place. so we learned from this mistake. just a little difference in pricing.
and the stop at phuket left a bad impression due to the attitude of the locals, might not be a second time there as there are still so many wonderful places in the world yet to be explored.
so all in all, this trip was all right. something different from what i was used to.
