Superstar Virgo in Manila (Day 2-Laoag)

It's the start of a new day! I woke up at 7 in the morning to get ready for Laoag, Ilocos Norte.  But we weren't at the Mediterranean Buffet (yes guys, this is how we roll☺) until 9, because I think the kids enjoyed their beds so much and waking them up was a struggle for me.

So here's what I had to start my day right ☺ Please don't judge because we won't eat lunch anymore so we have to fill our tummies with these food. 




We stayed at the Mediterranean Terrace until 11 A.M., just doing our usual selfies.






When we got tired of staying there, we decided to disembark at Currimao by riding a ferry.

                            
We didn't have a picture taken at the usual "I love Currimao" sign because it was so hot that time. Anyway, we rented a van that costs P3,500 and asked other cruisers, who arrived at almost the same time,  to join us in going around Laoag, Paoay and Currimao and just split the van rental to 8. Here's a group picture of us before we left the port.


We were able to go around these places: 

Ferdinand E. Marcos Presidential Center
                                      






Bell Tower

 

 
Aurora Park


Paoay Church

St. William's Cathedral

Malacanang of the North






Playa Tropical Resort





We were back to the ship at around 4 in the afternoon. We immediately took a shower because we stink since we were under the sun for hours. We then went to The Parthenon Pool for BBQ night.








Check out the food that I had. I was starving so it was a no diet night for me. 



We ended the day by watching Ric Green's magic show at The Lido. The theater was full! I think it's because even the kids in the ship were there to watch this amazing show. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take a picture of the show. But watch my vlog because I included some videos of the show there. 

Before I end this blog, I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed sharing with you the things that we did on our 2nd day.  Read day 3 because we will be exploring Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

Superstar Virgo goes to Kaohsiung, Taiwan (Day 3)

Image
Our third day was filled with so much excitement since it's our first time to go to Taiwan. We started with a buffet breakfast. I filmed about what the Mediterranean  buffet has to offer. Watch it here:  Check out the pictures to what what I had to fill my tummy up☺ We decide to disembark at Kaohsiung, Taiwan at exactly 10 in the morning. We are only allowed 7 hours to explore the city so we can't waste any time. Just a tip to first time cruisers, you need your access card to go in and out of the ship, or to simply go around and make use of their facilities. So make sure to have this with you at all times. Here's what my access card looks like. It was a sunny day in Kaohsiung so it was a perfect day to go around the city. The temperature was a lot colder compared to the Philippines so it was easier to go around. Again, we didn't avail of any of the shore excursions coming from the ship because it was too pricey for us. So we have to find a vehicle that would

Superstar Virgo Cruise in Manila (Laoag-Kaohsiung-Hongkong)

Star cruises finally brings their famous ship in Asia, known as Superstar Virgo, here in the Philippines. Sailing dates started on March 19, 2017 and ended May 23, 2017. After a couple of days of discussing about it and playing with the idea of trying out the life of the rich and famous (feeling lang), my hubby and I decided to avail this once in a lifetime experience. So I contacted Iris Galvez of  ITG Travel and Tours and she booked the 6 days/5 nights trip for us. Our travel dates were from April 23-28. Of course I was so excited, especially a week before the trip, so I bought a lot of things and packed everything that I think was necessary and useful for us. I will be writing a different blog post for all the items that I brought with me so watched out for that.  Fast forward to the day before our cruise, I log on to their site for online check-in ( https://booking.starcruises.com/OnlineCheckIn/default.aspx?lang=en ). This is actually available from 7 days up to 8 hours of

Superstar Virgo in Manila (Day 1- Embarkation)

Image
So this is it! The first day of our 5 nights cruise. Let me give you an idea of how it all started. Our ship was scheduled to sail at 6 in the evening but we are asked to go to Manila Port from 3 in the afternoon. Being very excited, we went there as early as 2 p.m. Good thing that we did because the line wasn't long yet. 30 minutes or so, we were already looking for our cabin. It was such a maze doing so since the ship is huge It is expected that you'll kinda get lost inside. It was a relief to know that our luggage were waiting for us outside of our cabin. We just explored the room and check the activities stored for us during the day. They have this daily Navigator were you can check their daily schedule. After about 30 minutes of chilling inside the room, we explored the ship. Here are the places that we went to: Galaxy of the Stars, Deck 12                      The Promenade. Deck 7        Activity Center, Deck 10   Aquaswim, Deck 1
