This is how she looks
Super Star Virgo
One of the largest cruise in South East Asia
Owned by Genting HK International
1st sight she's just an ordinary ship (big ship) to me but Virgo surprises us every day!!
With the view from the deck
when Virgo embark at Harbour Front Singapore
Very futuristic view

Wanted to go there
to have the feel of
"The King Of The World"
butttt, it's locked!! =(
Room mate call me Bond Girl cause we stay in the "double O 7" room
1st surprise in the room welcoming us
