From Tokyo to Singapore on the Adventure - a tentative PTR

[Amunet]

Hello!

This is a tentative PTR because im still not 100% sure i can go. My cat, Mochi, became suddenly ill and it required a lot of blood transfusions (and more). She died last week and I blew through my savings to try and keep her alive.

If im able to recoup most of the vet bills I paid, than I can go on my cruise Planning this cruise helps me a lot during this time and DCL has always been my happy.

When: B2B Feb. 12-16th & 16-19th 2026
Ship: Disney Adventure
Who: Me!
Cabin: Deluxe Inside 9975
Itinerary: Singapore (cruise to nowhere)

The first cruise will be my 5th Disney cruise and the 2nd will be my 6th, which means I will be Gold Castaway status for the second cruise!
The first cruise will be during Valentines Day, im not sure if DCL does anything for that, but the second will be during Lunar New Year, which is a huge holiday in Singapore and China. The second cruise is a 3 day but it is more expensive than the first 4 day cruise because of that major holiday. Im really looking forward to finding out if they do anything fun for the holiday.

Im living in Japan, near Tokyo, for research and booked this cruise before I even moved here! My home university is in Canada, where I get my funding from so Budgeting will be in CAD or JPY.
I booked on opening day booking for Silver CC and was able to get the same cabin for both cruises. The agent said she can see the different themes for each cabin so we spent time looking for a Frozen themed cabin! Im excited because I bring my own decorations and they are Frozen themed.

I think that's it ... onto planning!

The flights to Singapore seem to be 7-8 hours one way from Tokyo and vary between $500-700CAD.
The airlines Im looking at are:
- Scoot
- JapanAir
- ZipAir
I do have student benefits with Singapore Airlines but even with 10% and a baggage allowance, its still more expensive than the other carriers listed.

Im leaning towards Scoot with economy there and premium back.

Im planning on flying in on Monday the 9th to spend a few days in Singapore before the Thursday cruise departure.

Im eying one of the Holiday Inn Express hotels because its not horribly expensive, close to transportation, non-smoking building, and has breakfast included.
For 3 nights it would be about $650CAD based off of the direct website price

Other Plans

Transportation:
Im used to public transportation in Japan so sticking with public transportation for the trip will be easy for me as well as cost effective.
I would buy the 4 day tourist pass, which is about $40 CAD
Not sure what transportation i will choose to get back to the airport after the cruise though.

Activities:
Gardens by the Bay
Night Safari
Botanic Gardens
History & Culture Night Tour (not by DCL)
