Quick facts
Getting ashore
When to visit Singapore
Best Feb-Apr for drier weather, though Singapore stays hot and humid with possible rain year-round.
Getting back to the ship on time
The terminal is close-in and well-connected by MRT/taxi, but rush-hour traffic can still eat your buffer, so head back at least an hour before all-aboard.
All-aboard is ship's time — check it in the daily programme, and set your watch to it.
