Penang to Phuket on a super cruise

I was already on a high when I knew that I was going on a cruise. And I made the most of that feeling by imagining myself as a character in the movie Titanic as I stood on the top deck of Star Cruises’ SuperStar Libra! With the wind blowing in my face and the loud splashing of the ocean below – that was my defining moment on the cruise.

Thankfully, the 42,285-tonne cruise ship was so big that my fear of seasickness abated, though I did feel a bit light-headed for the first two days.
