Tuesday/ anchors aweigh 🛳️

Early on Tuesday afternoon, it was time to run out to the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore to board the Diamond Princess for our 14-day cruise up and down and around the Malay Peninsula.

The view from the top deck of the Diamond Princess alongside Pier 1 at the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore, with the Singapore city skyline in the near distance.
The construction of the S$500 million terminal began in October 2009 and was completed in May 2012.
The tugboat helps a little to make sure the Diamond Princess pulls away from the pier securely.
In the mean time there is party music and Sail Away festivities happening on the top deck.
At about 4.35 pm we had moved away from the cruise terminal and we were on the way. That is Mein Schiff 6 at Pier 2, a cruise ship owned by TUI Cruises.
I was too late to make it to the top deck to catch a glimpse of the setting sun and will do better tomorrow. The Diamond Princess is making her way due east from Singapore and will soon turn northeast.
