Hen's Night On Star Cruise

Last month we celebrated my good friend Priscilla's Hen's Night on Star Cruise Pisces. It was a cruise to nowhere, leaving from penang, so the 6 of us took a drive up in a jeep loaned to us by her hubby-to-be.


Boarding......Julia, Robina, Priscilla, Juanita, Kavi and The Ninja

Now for weeks before the trip i was super super excited cos i had never been on a cruise before. Plus it was really affordable.. RM130 per person inclusive of board, buffet dinner and buffet breakfast.



But i must say that overall i was a little disappointed with the cruise.

Room

Room was just tiny. Especially for my big butt! I mean there were 4 of us in one room and we could barely fit our suitcases inside. Thankfully the bathroom wasn't too small


With Kavi in our tiny room

Swimming pool

The pool was on the same floor as us but it was soo small i think it could prob fit only 10 people!! I had of course imagined this huge huge pool which we'd all be lounging round in our little bikinis.
Woe....



Entertainment

There were no performances as i had imagined. No scantily-clad Russian chicks with big head-plumes kicking their feet up in the air. What they did have was this band that was soo bad the rodents back at the pier were hanging themselves!



One of the dining areas

Plus points :

Food

Dinner was pretty good. Pasta, ostrich meat, big-ass prawns. Breakfast was ok

Liquor

The club has buy one free one will 1 am

Sauna/Spa

Massage is pretty good and affordable, and by Chinese masseuses. RM77 for a 45 minute Swedish massage. They have a pool and jacuzzi inside which looks fantastic, but you have to pay around RM22 (if i remember correctly) to use this pool. Open till 6am

Casino

Yes you can gamble! I had such a good hand i won RM250 in half an hour!!! Woot! It is under Genting so bring your genting card along


The place was also mostly empty cos people go there mainly to gamble. You get a lot of middle-aged to geriatric folk who come just for that...which is why the ship looks very deserted. But thankfully we had each other and we kept ourselves busy and entertained playing our games

We got the bride-to-be dressed in her veil (couldn't get one in shocking pink unfortunately) and she got claps and a lot of attention everywhere she went. And then we all had saucy names....i was 'Sexy Pussy' and Kavi was 'Muff Cummshot' and we had to call each other that the whole night, failing which we would be forfeited.


We also had a balloon-blowing game where the slowest person would be forfeited. The point was of course to poke a hole in the bride's balloon then give her tips on 'blowing'.....but the hole i made was too small and she ended up being the fastest blower! LOL!




So all in all we had fun but only cos we had great company. I wouldn't go for Star Pisces again (although The Gang is planning on going and i'll probably go again anyway!) but i would definitely want to try one of the other bigger ships like Aquarius which is supposed to be 4 times bigger than Pisces and has 3 huge pools! Woot!



At the club with some hot doctors.

Anyway she's getting married this weekend and i am one of the bridesmaids but i've been eating like a hungry monster these past few weeks (why does that always happen only when u really need to lose weight???)....i mean just yesterday i had 3 dinners!!! Yes THREE!!! One with prem, one with ram and one all by meself! I should probably just starve myself this whole week.


Details :

Star Pisces Cruise to Nowhere
Time : Board at 5pm. Check out latest by 10am next morning.
Departure : From Penang but it seems from October onwards they'll be departing from Port Klang

I like the way you're holding your balloon, Saby. And all the food you're eating seems to be going to your boobs.

Really an affordable cruise is hard to find and when you do they are not very good at all according to stories shared to me by friends. I must say though that no scantly clad Russian chicks is MAJOR points off.
