Sep. 28th, 2009, I rode on the second popular dinner cruise! So called the dinner cruise, we can enjoy seeing romantic sunset, eating luxury dinner, and exciting performance. Well, but I’m worried, if I get seasickness… Is the sunset really beautiful comparing with seeing it on land? How’s the atmosphere? I have so many simple questions!! I will find answers for my question♪
On Board ～ Enjoy Sunset
Today, I come here by Hiro-chan Car! I arrived at Bali Hai around 4:30, still warm sunshine. Usually, Bali Hai shuttle van picks you up. (right picture)
It’s broad Bali Hai office. Check-in and finish payment here. They accept the credit card.
They have the English booklet. It has today’s schedule and cruising menu. Take medicine for seasickness. I took 1/2 tablet, just in case.

Gift shop in the office. Bali Hai T-shirt is Rp.70,000～ You can buy water-proof camera, and cold-drink, etc.

Wow! In the garden, The lady dressed-up with Bali costume gives me a flower-lei☆ Happy!!
Boarding time is 5:30 pm, so I have enough time. Enjoy free time in the garden with welcome drink. Photo Frangipani. I see cloud, but it’s good weather. I can see sunset!
Meanwhile, passengers arrived one after another! About 30 passengers for today.
Nationalities are; 40% Japanese, 20% European-Americans, 20% Asia, and 20% middle-east Asia… borderless!

It’s time～! We take picture with Balinese girl at the pier. You can purchase this picture during cruising. (Rp.40,000))
In 15 min., we leave port. While waiting on the deck, crews give us hors d’oeuvre.
I take two. Thank you♪
On the deck, they explain how to use the life-jacket. Listen carefully, just in case.
Just the departure time! It’s getting dark. Enjoy cruising （＾□＾）/～！
With great view, couples are holding each other…
Oh, it’s good picture!! I work hard to take picture beside them.

People start drinking! They sell drinks here, so if you want to enjoy sunset with tasty drink, you need to brink money for drink!
I want to drink, too!!
Then, sun is going down.
Sky color is changing to orange. Sunset to the Indian Ocean. I was wondering that how is the sunset seeing from the sea, but, wow, awesome!!! The cruise is sailing the route that we can see great view from the deck. For me, it was the best sunset in Bali!
Dinner and Amazing Showtime!
It was great sunset as it’s SUNSET Dinner Cruise! After sunset, we move down on stair. On the table, there are over 30 kinds of international food! Drink is coffee, tea, and mineral water.
I found funny thing! This is the fruit-curving with water melon. It’s real! This is the fish with pineapple. It’s gorgeous!
Cheeses for alcohol Luxurious Indonesian food
During dinner time, singers are performing. Group of Japanese people join the cruise on the day, they sing some old Japanese pops. You can request, too!
After 40 min. starting from dinner time, we are getting full, and the live-music turns to like-karaoke. And then, the dance show performed by entertainment staffs. └|≧∇≦|┐！Here is some…
Bali Dance by two girls. They are good than the dance in cheap restaurant!
Well-trained muscle show. Nice posing!
Wow, I can see underwear, too!! They are just resolute, that’s the professional performance!
Very tall ladies perform the cabaret show!
For 50 min. happy show time, it was exciting (*ﾟ▽ﾟﾉﾉﾞ！！
Fever, fever!
Now, it’s the time!
Staffs bring passengers on the stage.
It’s disco time!!
I join on the stage and take picture with the tall lady (?)! Everybody dance, dance, dance!!
ヽ(=´▽`=)ﾉ
If you want to drink and talk in quiet place or want to court a woman… Please go to the second floor. Enjoy live-music at the bar counter.
The deck in the third floor is nice, good night view! Maybe, those lights are in Sanur… The dinner cruise offers you happy and romantic time.
It was great sunset in the Sunset Dinner Cruise. Depend on the weather, you might miss the sunset… but, if it’s the good weather, you can see the most beautiful sunset in Bali. It’s really romantic time to see the sunset going down to the Indian Ocean. I wish I could come with my boyfriend!
They have great varieties of food in dinner buffet, and taste good, too! I ate 4 pieces of fruit tarts. Moreover, Bali Hai can prepare a cake for you by previous order. (Please ask the price.) It’s good for birthday, anniversary and surprise party!
I enjoyed the cabaret show a lot! That was not just dancing by amateur staffs, but fun performance by professional dancers. Awesome!
I got seasickness when I joined the Beach Club Cruise, but this time, the cruise sail slowly, so I didn’t get sick. I didn’t see other passengers getting sick, so I can recommend this tour for people who easily get sick.
You should remember that alcohol is not included on the fee. If you want to drink, don’t forget to bring money with you. I wish the fee includes one soft drink or beer, though. Over all, they offer good service, that’s Bali Hai. Thank you very much!
