Continued from Scandinavia Trip Day 9, Part 1…
My last time on a cruise ship was some 8 years ago on Star Cruises’ SuperStar Virgo. It was a 3-day 2-night trip to Okinawa from Taipei. It was a truly unforgettable experience for me. I was vomiting my guts out the whole time.
So I can’t help but feel a bit icky about the Silja Serenade. I don’t wanna make a foul-smelling mess of myself and gross out the few new friends I’ve made on this trip.
Seeing this sign totally eases up my mind. Silja lines is, after all, the official seacarrier of Santa.
It feels a bit strange to be traveling from Sweden to Finland and suddenly be in New York. But I guess the cruise operator didn’t really think about that. The Big Apple is the theme on Silja Serenade.

Our very humble room
It has all the basic necessities so I really can’t complain.
Toilet and bath
I can fit in the shower so again, not complaining.
The view from our cabin is so calming
Time to check out the rest of the ship
Of course, I do the restaurants first. A line is forming outside Happy Lobster.
