This is an exhibition that fans of the Conjuring movie shouldn't miss because the exhibition has complete replications of important scenes from the movie with every detail. There is also a little ghost to create an atmosphere for us to enjoy the visit. The staff are also lovely and friendly. Overall, it's great.

Buffet was great. but I don't know why there was no choice for me to stay upstairs for the view. instead i was assigned downstairs indoor with not mucg view to look at while cruising.

the cruise went fine. the singer knows how to sing songs of different dialect, food is fine too. the table is a bit dark because of the dim light. we were not able to see the temples due to some unforeseen event. it rained during the last minute of the cruise so we went down on the ground floor to watch the performances.
