One of the day, I worked up early to watch sunrise at sea on board Costa Classica.

Below are some pictures that I took which is quite colorful. Not really sunrise as the sun is not visible.

There is a well equipped gym on the cruise ship where we spend some time to burn some fats with the consumption of so much foods.

Our cruise ship 1st port of call is Kuantan which is also my hometown. The cruise ship dock at the Kuantan Port @ Gebeng which is about half an hour drive from the town centre.

The sky is quite gloomy during the monsoon raining season.

You can see the taxi queuing up to pick up potential customers.

It is mandatory for all passengers to participate in the fire drill. Each one of us is given a Fire Drill Card which we need to return during the fire drill.

When we heard the siren, we will have to put on the life vest gather at the assigned loaction for briefing on fire & evacuation procedures.

Below are some pictures of the Costa Classica. According to the official website, Costa Classica is one of the best loved ships in the fleet, perhaps because of its welcoming and surprising personality or the recently refurbished beauty of its furnishings, or perhaps simply because it is a modern and comfortable ship on which to travel in total relaxation.
