I am in the position of booking for our first ever cruise ! In fact, it will also be our first holiday away from South Africa. Not only am I extremely excited by this but also extremely nervous about spending money, a lot of money, doing the right thing.
I have always dreamed of doing a cruise, as well as a trip to the Singapore region. The Star cruises seem to be absolutely ideal !
My concern is this: after much internet research, my wife and I both felt that the Virgo was the ship to go on ... problem is, it';s not doing the area we want to visit over July this year (our time of travel). The travel agents have suggested we go on the Aquarius -
I need advice from you guys who have done all the ships, especially the Aquarius.
We are not gamblers, and have never been on a ship before, so don't know whether we will experience sea-sickness.
Can we expect to be "blown away" by the Aquarius, as much as we would have been if we went on the Virgo ? We enjoy our food --- I've read that this is a bit disappointing on the Aquarius - is this true ?
Do they also have "extravaganza" type shows on board ?
We're looking at the 5 night cruise to Phuket ... is this a good choice on the Aquarius ?
Sorry for all the questions, just don't want our very first trip together to be disappointing.
