On Monday, 16 January, Bali registered a new record when the huge, 264 meters MV Legend of the Seas cruise ship carrying 2,300 passengers berthed alongside the pier at Benoa harbour in South Bali. Passengers stayed to enjoy the bewitching island for three days from 16th to 18 January 2012.
This is the first time that a cruise ship of this length and capacity could enter the narrow channel, and berth alongside the pier since this was extended ready to cater to longer ships, the channel deepened to 12 meters and also widened to 150 meters to allow ships to manoeuvre, explained Iwan Sabatini, General Manager of Pelindo Benoa in charge of Bali harbours.
Bali has become a popular destination for cruise ships, both on long around the world voyages as well as on regional cruising, continued Iwan. In 2011, a total of 35 cruise ships called on Benoa exceeding the original target of 28 ships to this port last year.
For 2012 Benoa is expected to receive at least 38 cruise ships with 8 ships calling at Tanah Ampo in East Bali. Another Bali harbour is Celukan Bawang, where the Seaborn Adventure cruise ship will call on 22 January.
In January, the Spirit of Adventure carrying 264 passengers called on Benoa, as did the Azamara with 800 passengers last December as well as the 160 meters Athena with 518 passengers. More regional ships are now also making Bali a turnaround port, serving among others, destinations between Australia and Bali, calling on Komodo Island and islands in the Maluku and Papua archipelagos.
Iwan was also proud to announce that Benoa Bali received “The Best Port Welcome” award among the Dream Awards given by Dream Destinations magazine in the UK.

If Bali can be one of the destination by foreign tourists from both air and water lines. I believe this is a good thing to increase state revenues.
No need to doubt if Bali is well known to the world. But my concern is how the government's role in promoting other attractions are no less interesting to Bali.

Slideshare is a leader of free-sharing contents. It's very powerful for a group who want to find its identity fast and relevant.
To translate a code to another type is need a processor, a processor to read the file. I always failed to transcode my video file because my networking is slow.
To change a file format to other types is consuming times. Sometimes we feel bored because the file we transcode is big and we have to wait.
Notification in social media should be filtered. Sometimes, the notification is too many. People have chance to miss the important one.
No wonder that Bali was chosen as a haven from cruise ships in the world. This is because Bali has a good reputation of tourism in the country and abroad.
