5D4N Royal Caribbean | Penang Phuket | Day 2

 

Good Morning Penang Malaysia!

The children's waterplay has a specific timing on the opening hours, so it is still too early to go there. We went to the indoor pool for some water fun with our squirt guns.

Soon the cousins came and join them in the hot tub. It is very cold in the mornings!

10am: Finally the waterplay is opened!

So the kids toggle between the waterplay area and the hot jacuzzi tub, because with the strong winds blowing, it was very cold at the waterplay area.

Lunch at the Dining Room. We like it that as a party group of 11, we can all sit down together for a restful meal. The windjammer is too much of a hassle for us to find tables/seats to sit together as a family.

Jalan Jalan with hubs around the cruise ship before we dock at Penang!

It was drizzling in Penang, so it was quite unfortunate that we are not able to do the Art Mural walk. My FIL hired a driver to drive us around, so off we went for some indoor activities - Upside down musuem, durian feast and Bak Kut Teh.

We ordered Black Thorn and Hundred Year old Tree. The kids had bubble gum which is a novelty since we don't have it in Singapore. Jules and James are trying to see who makes the biggest bubble!

Upside Down Museum was packed on a weekend afternoon. The staff were ushering us like packs of cows, quickly taking our photos and telling us what to do and which station to go next. There wasn't any time for us to rest,talk or laugh at the photos taken. It was like just going with the flow.

The good side of things was that we managed to get so many memorable photos as a family! 

Dinner was at a Claypot Bah Kut Teh store along the roads. Ah, before we went for dinner, we stopped by a local produce shop to buy some snacks. I bought tau sar piah (green beans), some cuttlefish snacks and a box of bah kut teh spices. It was such a hurry that I didn't manage to take any photos.

The kids playing their slapping hand games. They find it so amusing.

7pm: Back to our mothership!

8pm: Silk Road. After that we went for the Effectors which depicts 4 superheroes in 4 different colours with different powers. Not much to say about the performance or storyline.

The highlight was the drones flying above the audience!

look who fell asleep. Yes, it is way past her bedtime.
