Quantum of the Seas Day 4

All good things come to an end. Though it was a short holidays, it was a decent length one to kick start after a year of hiatus. 

I had been wondering about the disembarkation procedure. What had been made known to us via the Royal app was that the disembarkation would be at 6am but no what or how. 

Information was provided on Day 3 via hard copy pamphlet and luggage tags were also provided. We could check in the luggage or lug them off the cruise ourselves. The luggage tags are numbered from 1 to 34 and disembarkation starts as early as 7am to 10.15am accordingly to the number on the luggage tag. Given that we only have 1 medium size luggage, we opted to move it ourselves. Easy peasy. 

Auntie S and kids were in the forward of the ship and given number 1 luggage tags. They were scheduled to leave at 7am. We were at the middle of the ship and our luggage tags were numbered 16, scheduled for 8am. 

Bcos it was too early for them, they decided to skip bfast. We didn't bcos I know that we will have hungry morning people. 

It was initially difficult to wake the kids until I reminded them that we are in Singapore and their data plan works. The next moment... So easy...

The windjammer was opened as early as 6am and was crowded when we arrived. Back in the cabin after bfast was a waiting game but nobody complains when there is aircon and gadget. The disembarkation announcement was made over the PA system as well as on Channel 24 on the TV. 

It was our turn shortly after 8am. By then, Auntie S and kids were already home. Disembarkation was easy and clear. There wasn't much of a crowd as well. 

Of course social distancing via the familiar "footprint" labels that we constantly saw throughout the cruise. 

Everything else was just as smooth and we were home before 9am. That marked the end of our cruise holiday. 

While the teenager had complained a fair bit and rolled her eyeballs probably enough to circle the earth, we all had fun. Zaky loves the boogie boarding. Lil Shauna enjoyed a few of the activities and we all had a great time with the bumper car. I particularly enjoyed the time with the kids. It had been so long. It is a pity that Daddy Lim can't join us this time. 

In my opinion, the cruise was particularly good bcos of the 50% capacity such that the line for the the activities were much reasonable. I think we must make full use of this privilege such that I jioed Auntie S to book the cruise again during the June holidays. Hohoho. 

Ya, cruise booked already. We are fast hands, fast legs. This time, Popo will not be tagging along. She finds the casino too tiny and would rather go to her Genting Dream cruise instead and had already planned on in end April. This time, we also jioed Auntie J and kids. Hoho. Daddy Lim isn't sure if he would be able to make it for the cruise and will see how his work schedule goes. 

This time, we will make sure to arrive as early as possible and book as many bumper car sessions as possible. Hoho. Oh, we need to stay away from late night performances too; we are not as strong as what we think we are. 

We are lao jiaos already and very much looking forward to June 21. Hoho.
