A Worthy Sea-Cation
Epicure Magazine|June - July 2022
Packed with a wide range of activities, entertainment and dining options, a cruise on the Spectrum of the Seas by Royal Caribbean is a surprisingly fun way to travel - even if it is to nowhere.

A Worthy Sea-Cation

Cruises never appealed to me because I always assumed they were boring. After all, what can one actually do on board a ship? Eat, sleep, repeat? I can do that at home, thank you very much. You could watch a show or go to the casino, suggested a well-travelled friend. Sure, but it doesn't sound exciting enough. I'm also prone to motion sickness - let's just say my previous experiences on ferries and yachts were stomach-churning.

A recent trip on the Spectrum Of The Seas proved otherwise. Touted as Asia's largest and most technologically advanced cruise ship, the three-year-old Spectrum is a sight to behold. It is 350-metres long with 16 decks and 2,137 staterooms that can house more than 4,200 passengers. But it is the ship's action-packed features, exclusive amenities and specialty restaurants that make it an exciting holiday for all on board.

During the two-night Shakedown Cruise hosted by Royal Caribbean, I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun I was having even though the cruise was going nowhere. Plus, I had a newfound appreciation for the term smooth sailing because of how stable the ship was. No stomach-churning moments for me, and that's already a win.
