Arrived in Singapore this morning. About 4am I we started smelling a odor like exhaust fumes coming in our air conditioning. Lasted until we docked at 8am. Found out later it must have been from other ships close by. YUK! Room service had a hard time getting our breakfast order straight today. Brought wrong cereal twice! We were not in a rush so not a problem. After working out and showering we went off the ship right into a HUGE mall. I found a Seiko watch that I have been looking to buy as crystal on my current one is super glued on. Don't laugh, it worked! New watch was even on sale. Mall was so big we got lost in it when trying to return to the ship. All the US stores have shops in this mall.
Ok, after lunch we had a 1:45 meeting time for our "Iconic Singapore" tour. There was 9 buses doing this tour (Regent does not fill the buses to avoid being crowded). We have to go through immigration then a security check in the cruise terminal when getting on AND when getting back on. So with about 250 people getting off it took a while. It was also pouring down rain when we got off. I got to thinking about all the hassle to get back on the ship at 6:30 after the tour and decided not to go. We were here 3 years ago so, been there done that, already. The tour was to visit a temple & mosque (I have seen way too many of them already). It was also to go to Raffles Hotel where the Singapore Sling, mixed drink, originated. We saw the hotel already and I did not need a "Sling". So our friends, Allison & Joe, are on the tour and we headed back on board. I had my usual afternoon cappuccino and back on the internet writing this.
Our veal Parmesan dinner last night was excellent but service extremely slow again. Guess I will have to say something. We were seated just after 7pm and left at 9pm without dessert. Wanted to get to the showroom little after 9pm to get a front row seat. Production show was "Broadway Tonight" with Jean Ann Ryan singers and dancers. We saw the same show last segment and will keep going back every segment as it is wonderful.
Going up to Sette Mari for big ole veal chop tonight for dinner.
