Angry Birds Space handicraft workshop

With the Angry Birds activities in Changi Airport, it is money spending time for parents again.    Besides Angry Space Birds plush toy, there are also handicraft and catapult play activities.

There were Evil Space Pigs and Angry Space Birds on the table for children to look at when painting on the clock or tote bag.

It is very rare that my 2 boys posed in front of camera willingly.



















The tote bag and clock were fully redeemed fast.   We went there twice and they were fully redeemed.   So, the third and fourth time, we went there before the redemption counter opened.   We managed to redeem 2 tote bags and 2 clocks.





















Angry Space Birds plush toys for my boys.

At Canopy with classmates from Carpe Diem

We had many free plays at Canopy from the Costa Cruise ticket that we booked at Seiki Travel in Changi Airport.   Tonight, we invited Chen Chen's ex classmate Tian Xin and Png Png's current classmate Tian Yu to play with the boys.   Tian Xin and Tian Yu are siblings

The 2 pairs of siblings.   Both my boys enjoyed the most among all the plays they had in the past at Canopy as they each has a friend of their own to play with them.

Costa Cruise Victoria - day 4

Goodbye Costa Cruise Victoria.   I took the last opportunity to snap pictures
A very ancient style stage.

Why are there cloth towels and paper towels in the toilet?   The cloth towels are for drying hands, whereas the paper towels are for visitors to place on the door nob when opening the door.   Great hygiene standard.

Costa Victoria landed in Singapore
So long Costa Victoria

Costa Cruise Victoria - day 3

Today is our last day on board.   We took a group photo at the deck.

Visitors can loan board games from the information counter.  There were a few sets of  board games but we don't know how to play with most of them.   We loaned scrabble.  Hubby and Chen Chen played Scrabble at the board game room.
Png Png colored his coloring book and ran around in the board game room. 
We also visited the library.   We didn't borrow any books.   We just look around for what are the collection there.   There were mainly adult books in many languages -  English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese,  France,  Portuguese,  Deutsche.  There were a few books for each language.


 
My boys, especially Chen Chen likes to go to The Squok Club which offers activities like going round and get to know the cruise, games, meet the pirates.... The Squok Club opens daily on sea and port days from 9am to 11pm.  My boys joined the Mini Club which is for ages 3 to 6.   Though Chen Chen was 8 year old and supposed to be in Maxi Club (for ages 7 to 12), he joined the Mini Club to be with Png Png.   We enjoyed couplehood time when my boys were in The Squok  Club.   And, the best thing is, it is free to join the Squok Club activities. 
 
 
Children had to wear a  Squok Club tag on their hand for identification since day 1 till the day they leave.
 
The Squok dollar that my boys got from participating in the activities.   The Squok dollars were used to exchange for gifts on the last day on board.
 
 
Png Png posed for photo with the model of Costa Cruise Victoria.
 
The dinner on the last night was Italian dinner.   The setting iwa casual.   My hubby and boys were very happy that they could go for dinner in casual wear.


Our dinner









At the end of the dinner, the waiters and waitresses performed Italian dance.   Dinners were invited to dance with them.   I was the only one from our table sporting enough to join the dance.   It was fun!   Mamma mia!

Costa Cruise Victoria - day 2

Good morning sweetie.   Time for breakfast.
Didn't get enough sleep, continue to sleep at the buffet restaurant.
We requested the waiter in the buffet restaurant to take group photo of us.

There was gala dinner tonight.   My boys were in formal suits.   He is so handsome.

Costa Cruise is very organised.   A specific table is reserved for particular visitor every night.   There is no worry of having to wait for a seat for dinner.
 Fine dinning were served.   Surprisingly, the portion is big though.   I enjoyed my dinner but not my parents and hubby as they prefer Chinese food which was included in the menu but not that many courses of it. 


 
Png Png :  Mamma mia!   Muah!
