The Crew's Show

Bites Tale: Went to see a house for sale with my cousins last sunday... the house was really nice... renovated the way i would want it... especially for the kitchen... but still need to do some renovation to it... would love to own it.. but the price was a bit high for me.

There will be performance everynight in the ship, but camera and video are not allowed to take any pic or do any recording when the performance is on-going... except for this...

The Crew's Show

If you think the performance will be unprofessional compared to the professional performance they hire to do performance... you are wrong... i must say... all of us are really impressed with the performance by the crew.

Just scroll down and look at the pics :

Dance performance for opening of the show

Star Cruise Gemini very own Michael Buble (He sings really really well!!!)


They even have male-version toni braxton

I forgot what they sing, but it was quite good

Ahh... he is one of the entertainment crew member who showed us around the ship, he can sing very well too.. i heard he is one of the best singer in the ship.

Shy guy... one of the most popular entertainment crew... pulled one guest in for the show... and started singing "I'm so young and you so old...". All the crowd was laughing...


Shy guy turned into Justin Timberlake

No need to go to Thailand to see this.... go star cruise gemini can liao lor...


Full Monty, anyone?

Hahahaha, they didn't striped to the last piece of clothes.... and look what we have here... pretty indian lady... gotcha!! she is a he .... hahahaha

They are playing a game which i don't know what it is... but we were laughing until all of us bending down and holding our tummy...

Wow... nice outfit!!!

Look at shy guy who is not that shy tonight.... try to see carefully what is special in this pic..

Tada!!! he pulled it off very fast... and only then we notice there is a balloon... *evil grin..

We did have a very good time laughing through out the whole show... thumbs up for the crew!!!




















Pic : Can you believe he is the crew director??? We were all shocked to see him like this!!

Look what've i got here...

Bites Tale : I agree with what Indiana Jones said when Mary Ravenwood commented that Indiana Jones would have go on with his life and there must have been plenty of women for him over the years. He said : "There were a few. But they all had the same problem. They weren't you, honey..." ------- Good for them to get together at last, i'm not as blessed as them and have no choice but to go on with my life... after being stabbed mercilessly.

Interested to know what this pic is about?

Come back soon... need some time to select all the pics.

Captain's Dinner @ Star Cruise Gemini

Bites Tale : The concert was really good last night. But, some didn't appreciate the performance. It's sad to see how some of the teenagers behave nowadays. They are so inconsiderate to others. When the concert is on-going, they never stopped talking and playing with their handphones, some even "tastefully" playing with the soft drink cans in their hand making noise. And when the concert ended and the lights are turned back on, it's heart breaking to heard them saying "Yay! at last finished already... can go home lor!". I just couldn't understand... 1 ticket for student costs RM30... if they are not fond of this kind of music... then why spent such $$$? RM30 is not cheap... why waste $$$ just like that? That is $$$ from the blood and sweat of your parents (Chinese saying). And if they really like talking so much... better use the $$$ to find a place to sit down, have a drink and chat / play with their handphones like no one business... why go to the concert and makes other audiences suffer? And how could they possibly ignored others who already asked them to be quiet? Sigh...

Coming out from Snake Temple, after lunch at the near by food court, we were sent to Prangin Mall for shopping. We didn't enjoyed shopping very much there, only my sis managed to buy a dress and the rest of us bought junk food ... hehehe.

We went back to the ship around 4pm and rested for 2 hours before getting ready for the biggest event on Star Cruise Gemini... that is Captain's Dinner i.e. where the guests can meet the Captain of the Cruise and have dinner together.

Pic : View from our table.. the Captain's table is in the middle of the restaurant

While you don't need to make any reservation for dinner at the 2 restaurant through out your journey with this cruise, but this is an event (with limited tables) so guests are required to make reservation to attend this dinner. The crew will announce where and when to make the reservation. And all guests are required to wear nicely... we saw lots of the "ang moh" wearing tuxedo... with bow tie.. really cute looking... so remember to bring at least 1 set of nice clothes with you!

And i must advised that, don't go into the restaurant before the Captain do. I regret that very much, because when you do, you'll miss the chance to snap pictures with the Captain. (And i thought being punctual is important). The Captain will take as much pictures as he could with the guests before he goes in. And 1 thing that i must mentioned here is, the crew will take pictures of you when you go down from the ship... Penang, Krabi, Phuket, Langkawi and of course before you board the ship in Port Klang... they will snap pictures of you during dinner, games, shows.. for you to purchase from them... of course, without any obligation.

Once the Captain sit down on his table... it's like you can't see him... especially when the crew is performing where all lights will be turned off. So, better wait for the Captain before you go in.


And we were arranged to sit near the window... hehehehe

The food is really delicious.... they really offer you a nice selection of food. You can choose your appetiser, soup, main course and dessert from the menu... there are 2 to 3 options in each category for you to choose except for the dessert. And not forgetting the bread basket.

These are what we had (I can't really remember the names):

Pic : Fresh from the oven bread

Pic : Appetizer - Duck Liver with Lychee and Apricot Jam

Pic : Appetizer - Prawn, Scallop and Vege Salad

Pic : Soup - Creamy & thick Spinach

Pic : Soup - Beef broth

Pic : Main Course - Grill Chicken

Pic : Main Course - Some vege blended and became mousse-like

And my favourite of all ....

Pic : Main Course - Steak

It was really a big piece.... i like it half done... hehehe... but i can't finish it... i was too full by then.

Pic : Look how juicy it is...

Pic : Dessert - Strawberry Mousse

Through out the dinner, you will be entertained by this band from Philippines... they are really good. I love his voice very much.


I am drooling while writing this, really miss the food on the ship... am going to save $$$ to go for another cruise next time... and i am thinking of taking their thailand, hanoi and hongkong package. But am really out of $$$ this year...

Star Cruise Gemini

Bites Tale : At last..... Krispy Kreme Donuts... Here i come!!!

I’ll be off for holiday to Bali tomorrow, will stop by KL for a few days. (Yes, been travelling a lot this month! And yes, the MAIN reason i choose Bali as my holiday destination is that i can find Krispy Kreme Donuts there... hehehehe!!!). The other reason, I am bringing my parents there because mum has always wanted to visit Bali since she was young... she said there is this song which describe how beautiful Bali is during her school days... So, it’s a “win-win” situation for me lah!

Meanwhile, please “savour” these photos from the Star Cruise Gemini trip i went with my parents and sis end of February. (These are only part of the many photos we’ve taken!)

And, this is how the room looks like:

Pic : The make up table

Pic : The window and the beds

Pic : Washroom

Pic : Shower

Pic : Wardrobe

Pic : There are 3 wardrobes in a room... enough for everyone

I have heard people saying that it’s boring to be “trapped” in the ship for a week. My answer to that – “They are wrong”. We were only “trapped” in the ship at night!! Meaning, we are allowed to go out at each destination the ship docks in the morning, (in this case – Penang, Krabi, Phuket and Langkawi) only to come back before the ship departs to another destination. They gave us ample time for visiting every destination.

For those who choose to stay in the ship, there’re a handful of programmes arranged by the crew like movie, games, fun fair etc..... or you can fully utilise the gym, jacuzzi and the pool... you just can’t complaint! Talking bout the crew.... they did a great job! I missed them very much.... especially “The Shy Guy”... and “The Cruise Director”... They are so cute! (will tell you more.... just be patient!}

I really must say that it’s totally worth it to board onto any cruise trip once in a life... it’s a really great experience and if you are thinking of a relaxing trip like me, a cruise trip would definitely be a great choice.

The cost? About RM 2300+ per person, if you choose room with window; and about RM1700+ per person, if you choose room with smaller porthole window...... and that includes meals, depending how much you can eat... they serve breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. And the food is simply yummilicious! (Ooh.... i missed the pork ham! umm... ya... they served pork in the ship!)

Have to go now... need to meet up with some people to settle some matters before i’m off for a week.. forgive me if i didn’t reply your message.. i’ll catch up with you when i’m back! That’s a promise!
