Delays are not unique to Villa Vie Residences!
Just to have some perspective on the cruise industry. Delays are not unique to Villa Vie Residences - they happen all the time! The press has been particularly tough on us. Let's hope they paint a new picture once we sail this weekend. Below is an article about Royal Caribbean's brand new Icon of the Seas - which just launched in January 2024 and their delays just this week!
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.
What a gorgeous night this turned out to be. Great company and amazing views with yummy food. Life is Good!
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!
