It was almost lunch when our ship entered Kaohsiung Port, and I was totally unprepared. Boats zig and zag across the harbor, a small white lighthouse towering over its waters. Along the city’s skyline, a hexagonal building geometrically stood out, greeting us visitors a warm welcome. And me, I was scrambling all over the ship, trying to get to the Resorts World One top deck from my room in time for a better view of Kaohsiung City.
When people ask me what’s the best thing about being on a Resorts World One cruise, I always tell them that besides the destination we visit, it’s really the food. And with good reasons, it is culinary heaven. Food choices range from Western, Italian, South East Asian, Japanese, and of course, Chinese—since the ship is based in Hong Kong. It has three inclusive restaurants—which means eating there is free of charge—seven premium specialty restaurants, five food booths, two bars, and one exclusive restaurant reserved for Palace guests—the most expensive class on the ship.
Joining a cruise is never boring. It’s my fourth time to travel on a cruise ship and I still get excited every time. During our four-day cruise from Hong Kong to Taiwan aboard the Resorts World One cruise ship, I never ran out of things to do.
But if you’re still not convinced about joining a cruise, here’s an extensive list of things you can do while aboard Resorts World Cruises’ Resorts World One. This is particularly helpful while on high seas, en route to your destination, since there’s not much you can see but the endless blue sea.
The sea glittered with artificial stars, reflecting the electric lights of the buildings surrounding Kaohsiung Harbor. It was our first and last day in the city, having docked at noon, and now departing mid-evening. A brief but fun tour of Kaohsiung—a cross section of what the city has to offer. I was at the top deck of Resorts World One, on a cruise visiting two southern Taiwan locales, musing over the day that was.
