UPDATE - 12/02/20
At Royal Caribbean International, our guests and crew's safety and well-being are always our top priorities. After further consulting with our partners at Cruise Lines International Association and in conjunction with the CDC, we have decided to extend the suspension of sailings for our global fleet for all sailings through February 28th, 2021 – excluding sailings onboard Quantum of the Seas in Singapore and Spectrum of the Seas in China. Our plan is to resume further operation in March; however, the following circumstances have extended the suspension for the following ships and sailings:
• Australia sailings departing from January 1, 2021 – April 30, 2021.
• Odyssey of the Seas sailings from November 5th, 2020 through March 26th, 2021 have been cancelled. Given the closure of shipyards along with the disruption to the supply chain caused by this pandemic, we’ll need additional time to complete the Odyssey of the Seas’ scheduled construction.
We appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued loyalty. We will all come out of this stronger than ever. Stay healthy and safe. We miss our guests, and we’ll be ready to welcome you back soon.

Just thought I would share this article here... I think this is well written!

In2005, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced the cabinet’sdecision to build not one but two “integrated resorts”. Thisdecision was met with widespread criticism from the public andreligious groups. However, PM Lee stated that “As Prime Minister, Icarry the ultimate responsibility for the decision”.
5years later, the casinos were open. Initially, busloads of peoplevisited the casinos, most of them foreigners.
WhenI visited the casinos recently, I discovered that 80% of the cars inthe Resorts World Sentosa car park were Singapore registeredvehicles. Oneof the main objectives of the casinos was to boost tourism as well ascreate new jobs for Singaporeans.
However,I also noticed that most of the staff employed at the casinos,restaurants, hotels and theme park were foreigners. Therefore, the casinos did not really create much jobs forSingaporeans. What percentage of the staff at the integrated resortsare actually Singaporeans? What’s more, the higher level jobs suchas Pit Bosses are usually foreigners.
Iam a young working adult and even on a personal level, the casinoshave affected me greatly. My parents are compulsive gamblers who havepurchased the annual levy every year since they opened. And I rarelyget to see them any more, as they visit the casinos as many as six toseven times in a week. They neglect their jobs and are onlyinterested in gambling. I have tried to counsel them but they werevery stubborn and unrelenting. To date, they have each lost more than50,000 dollars at the casinos.
Istrongly feel that there needs to be more safeguards to limit thedamage caused by the casinos operating in Singapore. The currentmeasures put in place are grossly inadequate. For example, thegovernment should limit the number of times that Singaporeans canvisit the casinos to for example, eight times per month. The reasonfor this is that there are people who are going to the casinos almostevery day and neglecting the families and work. These need to be putin place as soon as possible, before it is too late.
Theday levy of 100 dollars is also counter productive. As a result oftrying to recoup the fee, gamblers would bet bigger amounts. It alsocreates an unfair environment for Singaporeans, as foreigners are notsubjected to this entry fee. As a result of the day levy being 24hours, Singaporeans would purchase the levy after work, gamble tillmidnight, skip work the next day just to utilise the full 24 hours.
Secondly,the government has not been very transparent about the negativeimpact of the casinos in Singapore. Based on some investigation andinsider information from staff, there have been a number of suicidesrelated to the casinos that were unreported. For Singaporeans whomight be considering staying in the resort hotels, do bear in mindthat some of the rooms are not “clean”. During a stay at one ofthe hotels at one of the casinos, we could hear knocking sounds inthe walls throughout the night. Besides these, there have been asudden increase in suicides in Singapore this year, such as drowningsat Bedok Reservoir, MRT tracks and jumping cases. I wonder how manyof them are possibly gambling related…
Therehave also been multiple stories of families that were ruined bybreakups, suicides or bankruptcy that were not reported in themainstream media. The internet can provide some clues. Although thecasinos did not force anyone to enter and gamble, by making it soeasily accessible to Singaporeans, it basically tempts people to goin and try their luck. The newspapers only report the news of onlySingaporeans such as the hawker who won 400k at MBS. This only servesto make people think that it is easy to make money at the casinos.However, I know of rich people who have lost millions at the casinosin a week as well as middle class people who have lost their lifesavings gambling, and had to sell their homes just to feed theirfamily.
Yes,although there are a few lucky ones who have won, but overall, 8 outof 10 people have lost money there. In 2011, the revenue of MBS andRWS was 2.3 billion and 2.6 billion respectively. Note that this isnot revenue for Singapore. In the casino, I overheard a conversationbetween two elderly women in Hokkien that one of their relatives wasaddicted to gambling. They borrowed money from both loan sharks andlicensed moneylenders. Being unable to pay their mounting debts, theparents “ran road” and left their children behind to fend forthemselves. I hope this story isn’t true as I really pity the poorchildren.
Oneday on the way to work, while taking the train on the circle line, Ioverheard two Singaporean uncles chatting:
(Sic)
“Today,I feeling lucky. I think today sure win big”
“Yousure? How come?”
“Lastnight I dreamt that I win a lot of money.”
“Wah.Win already treat me dinner ah.”
“Okno problem, if I win big, abalone and sharks fin also can!”

Ihope he had enough money to return home. More safeguards are neededto protect Singaporean families from the vice of casino gambling.
A)Limiting the number of visits by Singaporeans to a maximum of eighttimes a month. In order to visit the casinos beyond that limit, theyhave to submit proof of their financial stability to the regulatoryauthority for approval.

B)Implementing closing hours for the casino (between 4am to 6 am) sothat people would not gamble non-stop for days on end withoutsleeping and fainting in the casino.
C)Reduce the levy from 100 dollars for 24 hours to 100 dollars for 12hours. This is because the 24 hours hour levy encourages people tostay longer at the casinos and as a result, lose more money.
D) Scrap the annual levy at the casinos. The annual levy actuallyencourages Singaporeans to visit the casinos very often as they canenter whenever they like. Each time Singaporeans visit the casinos,they should have to pay the entry levy.
E)The current proposed safeguards only serve to protect those who areclearly at risk, such as undischarged bankrupts or those on financialaid. However, those people who are earning a low salary below 1500dollars have little money to spare, and probably no savings.Therefore, only people who have a certain level of income should beallowed to visit the casinos more than a certain number of times permonth.
F)Better management of crime related activities at the casinos. My malefriends as well as myself have witnessed multiple instance as well asbeen approached by foreign women offering “special services”.
G)There are also other forms of vice there, such as stealing otherpeople’s chips, mobile phones, handbags, fraud and claiming otherpeople’s winnings.
H)Poor security measures at the casinos. There have been people whoused other people’s identity cards to enter the casino.
I)Allow family members, relatives, employers to have greater ability toapply for exclusion for someone that they know that is at a risk forgambling. For example, currently, children of problem gamblers findit hard to apply for exclusion for their parents as their parentswould warn them not to.
J)Parents leave their children waiting outside the casino with nothingto do. I saw children sitting down on the floor outside the casinoslooking bored. Two hours later, they were still there.
K)The casinos’ impact on Singaporeans’ lives needs to be betterstudied.
L)The government should release the employment figures of the ratio ofSingaporeans and PRs employed versus the foreigners.
M)Overall, I feel that the casinos and integrated resorts have broughtmore disadvantages than advantages for Singapore.
Problemssuch as proxy gambling have also cropped up. Employers send theirforeign workers to the casinos to gamble on their behalf. Theseforeign workers are being exploited by their unscrupulous employerswho even dock their salary when they lose money. The government needsto acknowledge that there have been shortcomings on their part andnot claim that things are “well managed” and “under control”.
Nowadays,instead of spending time with their families, religious places orsports, gambling is becoming the new national pastime of many adultSingaporeans. Is Singapore becoming a SIN city? Should the casinos beshut down for good? I think that as a government, you cannot onlylook at GDP and ignore the social problems. Otherwise, you would beoperating as a profit oriented company, Singapore Private Limited.
Thethree buildings of MBS were said to be inspired by card decks.However, to me, they may very well represent three tombstones forSingapore if they are not managed appropriately. And the boat? Ithink it represents Singaporeans’ hard earned money being shippedaway. I can only hope for the best for Singapore.
