Two days at sea, and we are unusually busy because of all the lectures. We’ve been so lucky with the good and interesting content (well, except for the one lecturer who talks about the ports from a historical perspective – he does not have a lot of facts right and I’ve come to really dislike his lectures for the mistakes) – and we even get a bonus on these 2 days, the DJ gives 2 great lectures on Marilyn Monroe. Fascinating. So, we keep ourselves busy.
We arrive in Singapore on schedule at 2pm – but this time we are not getting off the ship. There is no reason to go outside – we’ve nothing we want to see, and we have made reservations for the Olympic restaurant at 6:30 that evening. Too rushed – and of course – for what? We do end up getting off and just figuring out the port layout because we’ve decided to walk off our luggage in the morning. We figure out how to negotiate our exit, where the lift is, where the taxi line begins, and then get back onboard to finalize our packing and go to dinner.
The Olympic is – as advertised – elegant and fabulous food. We had a special offer of 2 for 1 cover charge, so we jumped on the opportunity to eat here. We have never been disappointed in any of the Ocean Liners restaurants, and tonight is no exception. Flawless service, flawless food, superb experience. The saddest thing is that Celebrity is getting rid of these restaurants, converting them all into Tuscan Grilles – which are no more than a steakhouse. So disappointing. One of the waiters who serves us tells us that they’ve already converted on the Infinity, and the restaurant is still not full. Shame.
We spend the evening at the show, then head back to watch the lights of Singapore from our balcony for our last night aboard.
