Are we Cursed?

Good thing I have a blog to remember all this pre sail drama! Yesterday I was all packed and ready to walk out door to airport, when we had a late day ship update, called tea time ( like in spill the tea)! Anyhow, even though we FINALLY have all our approvals, paperwork, certifications and insurance we can't launch because we have now where to access SHIP for us residents ! The ship yard of H & W, where we have been this whole time, is currently in bankruptcy or as they call it administration - so there is no staff there and therefore we have no security to allow us access to boat, gangway or pathway. They have to move us to a Cruise Terminal and now that is the off season, there is only one operating and they have commitments through Sunday. The current plan is to move us early Monday morning, board us residents and finally SAIL AWAY! So I again moved my airline ticket to Sunday night to meet them Monday in Belfast!

SINGAPORE - MARQUEE DANCE CLUB

By PAT PATRICK • June 21, 2026
Bosco and I went back to the Marina Bay Sands, Marquee Night Club for Dancing on Friday night. We got to the club around 11pm and they stayed open till 5 a.m! There was a little bit of a cue to get into the club, but I had bought our entry tickets online prior, so we went through quickly.

SINGAPORE - High atop in the MBS Sky Park

By Pat Patrick • June 21, 2026
After walking through the Luxury Mall of MBS we went through the tunnel, under the street to the Hotel Towers . The lobby is very much like a Vegas Casino. Tower 1 is where the observation deck & Le Noir Cocktail Bar is at the front of the Ship and the french restaurant Ce La Vi is located behind these closer to Tower 2. Then comes the infinite edged swimming pool and end the aft section of the Ship is the italian restaurant & bar Lavo . We went up to the 57th floor and requested a walk in reservation at Lavo around 6 pm and we got lucky and were seated out on the terrace by 6:30 pm. We were there for sunset and both light shows, with prime viewing spots. They didn't rush us out at all and we enjoyed a yummy meal! When we left around 8:30 there was a crazy long cue waiting for tables, we got so lucky!
