Susan Siboi one of the residents who got to board a cruise ship for the first time, expressed her joy in that she was a marine engineer student.
“I was so happy that I finally got this opportunity, to get to see what I only learned in class. However, I wish we were given the opportunity to see more places inside the ship, like the engine room and the cabins,” said Siboi.
The lucky ones who got to board the ship also walked away with goodies from Oman which included: T-shirts, Oman food, Kanzus etc.
