[Thaiyotakamli]

[Shibadog]

[Kangadrool]

Come heavy rains and strong winds, all these people would get wet as the walkway is not sheltered, unlike the Aircon walkway at HarbourFront Cruise Centre. Why never adopt all the good points for MBCC planning and operations.

This is similar to countless white elephant infrastructures built by incompetent and corrupt governments in the region, the "Build First Plan Later" mentality. I hope the high speed rail doesn't suffer the same fate. IMHO cruise holidays are some of the most expensive and boring holidays out there.

Totally agree. They see potential in this segment and they work toward it. But they never understand the idea of value. When i pay $10 i expect a $10.10 thing/product.

I think with our COE, we can buy this kind of vehicle. . .

 

 

Like that gridlock then gridlock lor. 6.9 million also never mind, we have lotsa water to play with! hahaha.

and everyone will hope the ponding will occur more often!!

Some suggestions for MBCC to consider :

1. City location for check-in and checkout of luggages.

* the luggage will go directly to the respective cabins, so there is no need for intermediate handling by passengers.

2. Free shuttle services for passengers to/fro the City location. This will lessen the traffic volume to MBCC.

3. City location : Suntec City ? Convenient access to major public transport, lots of coach parking, Aircon mall, etc...

wah.. CBD already very crowded leh..

 

If really want to shift the check-in/out location.. I suggest Singapore Flyer!! that one becoming one big white elephant soon..

Singapore Flyer is a good location, as I remember there is a very big coach parking area. Is there MRT nearby?

Passengers are advised not to take a ride on the Flyer before the cruise. kenna stuck in the Flyer mean they can wave goodbye to the cruise liner from the Flyer.

How come airport no such congestion? So many planes landed?

Also have to consider how the F1 races would affect the choice of location.

[Kangadrool]

How many tourists arrive via air vs via sea vs via land? You will get the answer by answering this Q.

Wait till the Oasis or Allure of the Seas comes in to port, that will be 'Grand'...

The suggested locations at Flyer or Suntec City are for "city check-in" of luggages and passengers. Luggages would be transferred directly to the respective cabins. Passengers would be shuttled to the MBCC. This would ease the traffic situation at MBCC.

Of course MBCC have to evaluate these suggestions.

Never heard of this place until now, becos gotta see some family members off on a cruise.

I googled the area but couldn't see any car park lots or access.
