Ahoy! Cruise with me on Royal Caribbean Spectrum of the Seas. We are lucky to have SOTS at Marina Bay Cruise Center and this save us time to do a fly cruise on SOTS.

These staterooms are all over the cruise and you can see which part of the cruise you want to stay.

So in a way, you don’t need to stay in a suite to enjoy special access. In the junior suite, the toilet and the bathroom are segregated. The shower and the bathtub are also segregated so it is in fact more better than the grand suite. The grand suite.

Each cable car can seat about 8 adults and take about 25 to 30 minutes. It was fun and exciting and I had to take a few times to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Benjamin Sheares Bridge - National Day Celebrations🇸🇬♥️
#nationalday
But this viewing guide for the Singapore Fireworks Festival is not an apology, it's the fireworks season in Singapore again! Starting from June 15th, every Saturday evening until the National Day on August 9th, there will be a fireworks display over Marina Bay. The following is my summary of the viewing locations P2-P3 that I have been watching for several years. The Benjamin Sheares Bridge is one of the few locations that can capture both MBS and CBD within the same frame, while also incorporating characters into the scene. There is an entrance to the bridge behind MBS Hotel and facing Baogongkou Subway Station, just a few steps away. It is very crowded and child friendly.

What an Experience - Singapore National Day Performance♥️🇸🇬
#nationalday
The atmosphere among the audience was quite lively, and the host gave me a relaxed feeling! The gala, sports meet, and concert are integrated into one, and everyone is fully engaged and energetic. The young man who plays the president is also very engaged, and he can use camera zoom in from positioning to facial expressions. It may be the National Day gift package launched on site, which includes food, drinks, main food, snacks, fans, throat candy, stickers, tissues, inflatable sticks, and fluorescent watches. I really like it. I will tidy it up on August 9th and continue to tidy it up next year
