Ovation of the Seas Cruise: Thursday 18 October - Singapore

We had thoughts of going to the Gardens by the Bay today but we're both still a little tired from the travel.  So, we started the day by having breakfast and then walking around to an absolutely enormous shopping and office area (Suntec City).  I don't think we saw any more than a small proportion of the whole place and there was definitely more shopping there than anywhere in Canberra.
By this stage, we had found out that our boarding time for the cruise had been delayed.  We were scheduled to board at 11:30am Friday, but that was based on the ship arriving at about 6am.  However, they had a medical emergency overnight and so had to return to their previous port, and won't be arriving in Singapore until 11am.  Our new boarding time is 4:30pm.  I asked the hotel if they'd extend our checkout time until 2pm and they agreed - and without extra charge!
We went out again and checked out using the MRT to get to the port, and it looks like it will be okay provided we avoid peak hour - the locals wouldn't take kindly to tourists with suitcases during peak hour!
Dinner was at another large shopping area nearby that we had not even realised was there, even though our hotel overlooks it!  I think we could spend a year here and still not find all the interesting stores and restaurants in the area :-)
Came home expecting to crash but someone got into the lift on the 10th floor talking about a smell of smoke; he was quite concerned and was going downstairs to report it.  We were one floor higher and we could also definitely smell something smoky, so we got our important things (aka phone, iPad etc!) and went downstairs.  By the time we got there though, there wasn't much going on, and the lady at the desk told Paul that it had all been dealt with.  Possibly someone just cooking illicitly in their room.
Given the dramas we had in Sydney before our last cruise (woken up twice in one night by fire alarm and fire trucks) I'm hoping that the lady at the front desk really is right!!!
Added note: since we didn't burn to death in the night, it was obviously all OK :-)
