The Diamond Princess made it into her final port of call for this voyage this morning, arriving at Port Klang at 8 am.
I was well enough to take the shuttle bus to the AEON Bukit Tinggi Mall, 20 minutes away. That was a consolation prize, since I had cancelled my excursion into Kuala Lumpur, and the Petronas Towers 😢, two days before (not sure I would be well enough to do the whole-day excursion).
That ship in the distance, all the way across from our own terminal, sails under her new name Star Voyager, operated by StarCruises.
From Wikipedia:
She was built in 1997 and previously known as Dawn Princess and Pacific Explorer, having previously been operated by Princess Cruises and P&O Cruises Australia. In 2001, while operating in Alaska’s Glacier Bay National Park, Dawn Princess struck and killed a humpback whale while travelling too fast through the protected waters. Princess Cruises was later charged and found guilty in United States federal court and paid a fine and restitution totalling US$750,000.
Looking at my mall pictures, I now regret I did not buy the little gold wafer with the Petronas Towers on.

And the book? I should have bought that as well, but Amazon may be able to help me mend my mistake.
