Once everthing settle, everyone will proceed to the restaurant for dinner. According to Kenny, the foods was as good as (or better than) 3 star hotel buffet.

The activities started after every customers finish their dinner....some go to the pub or lounge for drink and watching the show....most of them go into the Casino! After all, it's a Gambling Cruise.

Kenny went to the pub enjoy his Ice cold beer! The beer price was SGD16.00 per jug. He told me he had 3 jug of it!

Some of the them came with family, but the environment is BAD for children and pregnant lady! Because peoples are smoking everywhere even in air-con area! Hope they will improve one day...

Advises from Kenny....Just Breakaway from City Life, enjoy the sea breeze and had a joyful night, that's good enough & justify for the cost he paid. Don't expect high standard with luxury environment provided, after all....it's a Gambling Cruise.

On the next day, after breakfast....it's time for you to walk around the cruise. Beside that, you will be advise to enjoy the strong sea breeze on the deck.

By the time about 5pm, it's time for you to say goodbye to the cruise....the ferry will fetch you from the cruise back to Pasir Gudang Ferry Terminal...
