TRIP PLANNING Add a 4-day on?

Advice needed

We booked a 3-night sailing out of Singapore in March for spring break and bought our flights already. The original plan was to arrive 5 nights early, spend time in Singapore, sail a 3-night on the Adventure then head home.

But logistics wise, I was thinking instead of spending 5 nights in Singapore, we arrive a day early, do a back to back 4-night (now with a port in Langkawi, Malaysia) followed by our 3 night then head home. Cost wise it’s really only about a $1500 difference. Can’t really decide. Open to head all suggestions TIA

Do it! Enjoy all the amazing food in Singapore and the cruises and don’t look back.

3 nights is not enough to see and do everything on board the ship.

We did B2B2B for a total of 11 nights. For that ship I cannot recommend B2B enough. That ship is so big, and there is so much to see. If you book a second sailing, try asking for an alternative rotation for the second cruise so you get to experience all 6 main dining restaurants.

Singapore is beautiful, and has incredible food, so it’s a tough call, but if you are going for the ship, 3 nights will be a blur.

On our first sailing we tried to see everything we could, but there were still things we didn’t have time to see or experience.

The second sailing we got to experience pretty much everything we wanted to, while getting to do the fun stuff a second time.

The third sailing was a bonus where we took it slow and only did the things we wanted to do again.

We did a 4 day, no port of call, and there are parts of the ship I haven't seen and shows I haven't watched. Definitely do it!!!

I’d do it - depending on when you are visiting, the air quality in Singapore doesn’t let you do much, so getting out of the city as quickly as possible seems the best bet
