Steven Ma Goes on a 15 Day Cruise Vacation

Last month, Steven Ma Chun Wai requested vacation days from TVB to join a cruise tour. On the 15 day trip, Steven went to Kobe and Hiroshima in Japan, as well as Dalian, Shanghai, and Beijing in China. He spent the last 3 days of his vacation in Beijing and flew back to Hong Kong afterwards.

Previously, Steven already took two cruise trips. He prefers to travel to destinations on a cruise ship rather than flying direct to the location. Steven is afraid of hassles at the airport, such as losing his luggage and security checks. However, while on a cruise ship, he can leave his luggage in the room and roam freely abroad the ship.

Some people may complain about the boredom of cruise tours. On the contrary, Steven enjoys the relaxing and free nature of the trip. Since cruise vacations are catered towards foreign tourists, no Chinese food served abroad the ship. Throughout the 15 day trip, Steven was forced to eat Western-style cuisine and could not drink Chinese soup until departing from the ship.

Although Steven does not possess any gambling luck, he played the slot machines abroad the ship. This resulted in gambling losses of $300 (USD). However, Steven did not feel unhappy about the loss. He enjoyed the exciting experience of playing slot machines.

Did Steven have any intimate encounters while on board the ship? Steven said no, while pointing out that the cruise passengers were only interested in a relaxing vacation.

Although some passengers had to pay over six figures for luxury room accommodations, Steven felt it was money well spent.
