A cruise to remember - Star Cruise Libra
I was excited beyond measure when my parents planned the cruise for the weekend of 24th and 25th february. Although I had heard so much about this cruise from friends and relatives, the actual experience was much more than that. It would be difficult to convey the exact thrill of the experience in this blog, but hope you get an idea through this photoblog.
OUR SHIP: Star Cruises- LIBRA
The modest ship named Libra, of the Star Cruises sailed us through an amazing one night cruise from the Maldar International Cruise Terminal at Indira Dock, South Mumbai. The ship departed at 8 pm, 24th feb (saturday) and returned the next day at 2 pm. We boarded the ship by 4 pm on saturday.
