Cruisecation with Genting Dream.
I had a fantastic trip moment cruising around Hong Kong for three days on a luxurious Genting Dream Cruise.
Genting Dream comes with excellent service and facilities making your trip a memorable holiday. The cruse is clean and has different themes every month. You can enjoy e wide choice of dining experiences at restaurants and bars, where you can choose Asian and Chinese cuisine or Western flavor. There are complimentary breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but If you look for extra meals and drinks, you can visit some restaurants and bars open until late at night.
The deck room with a balcony overlooking the sea is clean and wonderful. The terrace is a great spot to relax and feel the sea breeze! The cruise also offers numerous entertainment and attractions you may not find on land. You should see the daily program schedule to ensure you will not miss exciting attractions and shows such as pole dance, magic shows, and other music and dance performances. Besides, for activities that require booking, please quickly book so.
The cruise has plenty of recreational spots and outdoor facilities, including multiple pool types, water slides, rope-climbing, playrooms, card rooms, mahjong, bowling alley, and duty-free shopping. Some are suitable for kids. On top of this, go to the highest deck in the evening to enjoy the LED lighting of the cruise. It’s fantastic.

Creative Art Adventure Hunt !
#mustdo - Beautiful Arts Hunting onboard SOTS Final Series 3
Royal Caribbean's Spectrum of the Seas is consistently thrilling me with artistic surprises ! It's like taking on a treasure hunt while out at sea onboard the RCI cruise. There's simply so many quality art pieces and installations to capture onboard !
So I have showcased some impressive art collection and installations at the elevators, gangway, lift well and at the staircases. Now onwards to other locations for our final segment of our arts treasure hunting onboard which is a definite selft MustDo adventure activity !
Now, for those who are not staying in suite and above or on the unlimited dining package, we will usually go Main Dining at Level 3 and Level 4. The entrance walkway at Deck 3 has an impressive virtual art and if you observe carefully, you can see ballet dancers across the virtual art wall. Once you are inside, you will also notice the gigantic installation at the centre of Main Dining, hanging from the ceiling. And during dining hours, this structure is actually slowly rotating too !
For those who prefer the buffet at Windjammer Marketplace at Deck 14, there are various extract art pieces hanging along the walls too ! Also there are plenty of wall art paintings at various locations of Deck 14 when you walk around between the Solarium and pools
If you have a chance to eat at Silver Dining, did you notice the beautiful peacock structure at the entrance too ? Did you also notice the silvery installation outside cafe two70 ?
A favourite spot of mine is the fairytale decor and velvety chair outside the specialty restaurant : Wonderland. Also there’s a panel of artistic leaflet display at Body and Soul’s wall at Deck 13 too !
Let's not forget that when you are tired and walking back to your cabin, did you notice a myraid display of creative art pieces hanging along the hall ways too ? What a wonderful way to destress your eyes a bit before reaching your cabin !
Finally, in your cabin room, there's also an abstract art painting above your sofa too. From Day 2 to Day 4, expect to see creative animal towel art pieces being folded by your room attendant and left on top of your bed too !
Simply awesome right ? This visual wealth of artistic treasure is certainly one big reason that makes it more worthy of your cruise onboard RCI ! So many locations for photo shoots and instragram stories ! So book your RCI cruise on Trip.com and join me in my MustDo arts hunting activity onboard too !

RCI Is Full Of Artistic Surprises
#mustdo - Beautiful Arts / Photography Hunting onboard SOTS Series 2
Royal Caribbean's Spectrum of the Seas is ever so full of artistic surprises ! It is never a dull moment when taking an RCI cruise as there's simply so much artist pieces, architecture and photography onboard ! It is always so fun to explore and discover the often overlooked artistry onboard !
In an earlier Trip Moments, I showcased some impressive art collection at the carious staircase landings. Today, my focus is on photography collection in the lifts, arrival gangway and walls and the magnicicant lift well installation !
So we have two sets of elevators onboard (forward and main elevator/gangway). At the forward side, there are 6 elevators (3 per side of wall). There are four rows of elevators at the main elevator/gangway : 2 elevators per wall side and in the middle there are two sets of 3 elevators with see-through glass panels looking into the lift well.
Only the lifts by the walls will have art and photography pieces. It is a thrill to wait for each lift to open and discover the lovely artistic photography hanging within the wall of each lift. And to wait for the lift to be empty before you can snap a full picture of it lol. Good cardio too for you to toggle between two sets of lifts in forward and gangway :)
At the arrival gangway, there are also art pieces along the walls. But the main highlight is the magnificant lighted installation of flying doves in harmony at the lift well dangling majestically down from the ceiling. Great photo point and standing in hallway at the lift well has that fairy like appreal too !
If you take notice, the lift landing has a different artistic appeal too ! Some have tiled designs, mosaic and even coordinated carpeting that lends an overall artistic feel to your overall arts hunting journey onboard !
Book your RCI cruise on Trip.com and join me in my arts hunting onboard too !

Happy Pizza Snacking Time !
#mustvisit - Authentic New York Pizzeria Onboard SOTS
Location : Sorrento's Pizza, Deck 14, Royal Caribbean Spectrum of the Seas
Operating Hours : 11:30AM - 02:00AM
Ambiance/Facilities - Cosy pizzeria, airconditioned seating
Highlights - Freeflow pizzas and beverages
Rating - 4 / 5
Located on Deck 14 of Spectrum of the Seas, just outside Windjammer Marketplace is Sorrento’s, an authentic pizzeria from New York that is open from 11:30am until late @ 02:00am.
You can enjoy a slice of piping hot slice of thin crust pizza in between meal time as well as for late night supper here ! Otherwise, simply chill over a cup of hot tea, coffee, green tea, black tea or cold beverages like lemon tea, fruit punch at the self serve beverage counter. Condiments like tomato ketchup, chilli flakes, pepper and tabasco sauce are available too, DIY style.
The pizzeria has a very cosy setup, plenty of seating space and managed by a bunch of very hardworking and friendly staff who ensures that the beverage counter is well restocked and your table cleaned up. Also the pizzas are being oven baked at all times to ensure uninterrupted supply of pizzas ! Three flavours are available currently : vegetarian, cheese and pepperoni.
I will usually get the vegetarian and pepperoni pizza slices and then enjoy them whilst playing a few rounds of Mobile Legends Bang Bang lol.
So to sum up as to why this is a MustVisit pitstop in your cruise itinerary :
- To hang out and chill over drinks
- Enjoy comfort food of thin crusted pizza
- Take many wonderful afternoon and sunset selfie shots by the glass panels facing the ocean
- Snap shots with Sorrento's bright red signage inside as well as at the main entrance outside
- Snapping away at the pizza ovens churning out freshly baked pizzas and seeing staff slicing them up ready to serve - truly theraputic
- Using the restaurant or Windjammer Marketplace as backdrop for different insta-worthy selfie shots to be added to your photo collection.

Artistic Showcase on Staircase Landing
#mustdo - Beautiful Arts Hunting onboard SOTS
Ever considered taking the stairs instead of the lifts when you are onboard Royal Caribbean Spectrum of the Seas ? I can assure you that you will be visually rewarded if you do so.
Firstly, you get to do some cardio and exercise to burn off some calories from all the yummilious food @ Windjammer Marketplace , Main Dining and Speciality Restaurants so you have better appetite for your next scrumptious meal !
The second and best reward will be the visual feast of beautiful contemporary art pieces that decorate each and every staircase landing. From oil paintings, ceramic art installation to portraits and extract photography , there’s always something interesting at every staircase landing !
Also after every headliner show, the lift landing will always be packed with patrons so why not take the staircase and enjoy all the fine and exciting art pieces at the same time ?

Happy Shopping Onboard SOTS
#mustdo - The Royal Caribbean Souvenir Shop
Location : Level 4, Royal Esplanade
Ship : Royal Caribbean Spectrum of the Seas
Located along the Royal Esplanade on Level 4, The Shop is just sandwiched between The Collection (luxury goods) and Regalia Fine Watches. Another landmark to look out for will be the Leaf & Bean or the Music Hall which is just opposite. It's not very difficult to find this souvenir shop at all.
So this shop retails all Royal Caribbean branded lanyards, t-shirts, umbrellas and other merchandise and souvenirs like your fridge magnets, kids toys, plushies, water tumblers and even walkie talkies. They even have their own version of the long sleeve oversized tee with Spectrum of the Seas embroidered boldly across the back !
For my visit, I bought a classic green tee with the Royal Caribbean insignia at the left bottom of the tee as well as a Sky Pad print at the base, the Coca Cola x RCI tumbler, key holder and lanyard set. There are other various prints and other classic designs with vintage prints to look out for too if you prefer other tee designs !
The friendly staff will be more than happy to assist you with your purchases and depending on your RCI tier status, you can get some discounts too ! Note that all purchases will be billed to your account and thereafter charged to your credit card on record.
And oh did I mention that I simply adore the RCI shopping bag that comes with every purchase too ?
Happy Shopping or feel free to just window shop ! Do remember to book your next RCI seacation on Trip.com !
