![]() Perfectly controlled and graceful handstands while her blond tresses hung down and brushed his face. He was there for her to flip up and balance on, upside down, with one hand, on his face. His partner provocatively strode over to him in her high heels, and then I realized what part he played in the act. They looked very different from the rest of the samba dance troupe in fact, the stalwart giant of a man didn’t look like a dancer at all. ![]() I barely sighed over their exit of blazing dark eyes and flashing skirts before another couple walked on stage. With movements as graceful as silk caressing a woman’s curves, they snapped and twirled and dipped their way across the stage to very appreciative applause. No wonder the show was titled Hot Hot Hot! When we thought things couldn’t get more exciting, out flowed a couple for a sensual, passionate ballroom dance. Flamboyant feathered headdresses and sexy costumes shook and gyrated to the lively rhythm in an intoxicating show. Nestled into the richly upholstered lounge chairs, we beheld a glittering showcase of Brazilian samba. Then the night’s entertainment extravaganza began in the elegant Stardust Lounge. Our first night, we were treated to the exquisite tastes and impeccable service of Taipan, an elegant Chinese a la carte restaurant. With travel, accommodation and eats taken care of, all you have to do on a cruise is pack in a full day of leisure before retiring to your floating honeymoon suite! The many leisure and entertainment opportunities would make the perfect mini-honeymoon for a couple to wind down after all the stress of planning a wedding, and cruise along to an idyllic beach destination. Of course, there was the popular Star Club where you can get lucky in games of chance. Or perhaps get one’s fat massaged off, in King Neptune’s Health Club’s spa and steam room? There’s even a hair salon to help you attain beachy waves as you lie and worship the sun on the ship’s expansive sun deck, or lounge in the three swimming pools or outdoor jacuzzi. After availing oneself of the six included meals on board though, one could always work off the kilos in the cruise’s gymnasium, or run a couple of laps around the jogging track. There were six different dining establishments with cuisine ranging from freshly grilled seafood to Western cuisine. You could sing the latest tunes in the Observatory Karaoke Lounge while enjoying the sea views, play mahjong in the room dedicated to the game, and shop for international designer goods and duty free perfumes and liquor in China Duty Free. Our charming hostess made sure we knew how many ways there were to relax and enjoy ourselves on board the newly refurbished ocean liner. A whopping 230 meters in length, and we soon got discovered just how long that was on our tour of that grand dame. The 50-tonne SuperStar Gemini was massive. The friendly marketing team at Star Cruises ushered us into priority boarding along with the rest of the media group. It wasn’t difficult to locate the boarding area at Vivocity’s Habour Center-it was filled with families and couples waiting to board the popular floating resort.
