We're definitely seeing an increase in the number of "specials" being offered in Singapore by the cruise lines, but one of the biggest downsides is the cost and distance. Travel in the region is very cheap especially with the Low Cost Airlines and a beach that will take you 2 nights to sail to on a cruise ship is a 2 hour flight. The first (and last) cruise I took from Singapore had no more than 5 non-western guests on board. Not sure how this demographic has changed since then, but if they really want to make it work they need to appeal to the asian and not western market (which is VERY different).
