Dream Cruise diluncurkan pada tahun 2016, dengan armada pertamanya yaitu Genting Dream.

Baru, tahun 2017 armada keduanya, World Dream Cruise diluncurkan.

Cruise ini melayani beberapa rute di sekitar Asia, tapi yang populer bagi orang Indonesia dan juga yang pernah saya coba adalah rute Singapore – Port Klang (Malaysia) – Singapore selama 3 hari 2 malam .

Karena saya naik cruise bareng para influencer keren, ada top travel blogger Indonesia , youtuber, tv-host, dan juga selebriti. Seru banget deh!

Kapal pesiar ini berangkat dari Marina Bay Cruise Centre .

Dari kejauhan hanya terlihat seperti kapal yang sedang bersandar, tapi dari dekat baru kamu bakal takjub dengan ukuran kapal yang segede gedung.

Prosedurnya kurang lebih check in, ngelewatin imigrasi dan custom clearance , terus berangkat deh. Saya dapat kamar tipe balcony, cukup luas.

Kasurnya nyaman, ada sofa untuk bersantai, sama seperti nginep di hotel.

Di kamar ini juga ada balkon untuk melihat matahari terbenam. Saatnya explore Genting Dream Cruise. 

Berikut adalah aktifitas dan hiburan seru yang bisa kamu lakukan di Genting Dream Cruise: 

1. Restoran di Genting Dream Cruise 

Sebelum naik cruise, teman saya bilang. Timbang dulu berat badannya pas pulang timbang lagi, pasti kaget.

Bener banget. Di dalam kapal banyak jenis makanan dari Asian Food sampai Western Food.

Ada 2 restoran yang sudah termasuk dalam paket yaitu Lido Restaurant dan Dream Dining Room .

Jadi mau sarapan, makan siang, malam, kamu bisa datang ke sini untuk makan sepuasnya.

Lido Restaurant lebih ke gaya buffet sedangkan Dream Dining Room menyajikan Chinese Food.

Selain itu, ada juga restoran lain yang bisa kamu coba, tapi harus bayar pakai uang sendiri, seperti Hotpot, Bistro by Mark Best, Blue Lagoon, dan Umi Uma .

Kalau ditanya restoran mana yang paling saya suka, sepertinya bakal milih Bistro by Mark Best dan Umi Uma.

Hidangan di Bistro by Mark Best benar-benar fine-dining .

Saya cobain tenderloin steak -nya, benar-benar lembut dan gurih.

Ketika mencicipi dessert -nya, matcha mousse , sekali masuk mulut rasanya meleleh.

Kalau Umi Uma , dari namanya udah bisa tebak kalau resto ini menyajikan makanan ala Jepang. berarti ada sushi, sashimi, bento, udon,

Highlight dari restoran ini adalah pertunjukkan teppanyaki .

Kamu langsung duduk di depan chef yang dengan lincah melakukan trik yang menghibur seperti melempar telur, bernyanyi dan menari. Suasananya benar-benar fun .

2. Zodiac Theater

Setiap malam akan ada pertunjukan yang dijadwalkan di Zodiac Theater .

Dengan pakaian dan panggung yang berkilauan, para pemain berbakat akan membuat kamu terpesona dengan keterampilan menari dan gerakan akrobatik mereka.

Voyage of the Lovers Dream adalah salah satu pertunjukkan yang harus ditonton di Genting Dream Cruise.

Pertunjukan ini akan membawa kamu ke dunia fantasi kisah cinta unik antara putri duyung dan astronot. 

Kebetulan pas saya ke sana ada juga pertunjukkan spesial China’s Got Talent yang diadakan di Zodiac Theater juga.

Atraksinya bikin jantung deg-degan.

Terakhir kali saya nonton pertunjukkan keren begini  juga di atraksi wisata Macau , tepatnya di City of Dreams.

3. The Bridge Tour

Rasakan bagaimana menjadi kapten kapal dengan The Bridge Tour .

The Bridge adalah area paling penting di kapal, tempat kapten dan perwiranya mengontrol dan memastikan bahwa kapal berlayar dengan aman di laut.

Para kru, sebagai pemandu akan menjelaskan bagaimana cara melihat angka-angka di layar yang menceritakan kedalaman laut, kecepatan, dll. Kamu juga dapat ngobrol dengan crew kapal yang ramah.

4. Area kolam renang dan sportplex

Area kolam renang dan sportplex selalu sibuk di siang hari.

Selalu ada aktivitas yang disiapkan kru seperti games, aerobik, dan banyak lagi. Ada lapangan basket juga  di kapal!

Kamu bisa coba wall-climbing   atau   flying-fox . 

Flying fox adalah salah satu pengalaman terbaik saya di kapal, sangat menegangkan.

Bayangkan melakukan zip-lining dari satu ujung ke ujung lainnya di atas laut lepas, dengan tinggi hampir 35 meter.

5. Crystal Life Fitness and Spa

Saya ada cobain pijat satu jam di sini di Crystal Life Spa . Penampilan furnitur, dekorasi, dan pilihan warnanya sangat bagus.

Sebelum masuk ke kamar, saya diberikan formulir dan saya bisa memilih bagian tubuh mana yang akan lebih diperhatikan nanti, saya pilih leher dan bahu, daerah favorit saya.

Pijatan seluruh tubuh dimulai dari punggung, turun ke kaki, dan berakhir dengan pijatan di kepala.

Staffnya sangat perhatian dan bertanya  apakah kekuatannya cukup. Saya tertidur tidak lama sebelum pijatan selesai.

6. Bar Hopping!

Butuh sedikit  alkohol untuk membuat diri kamu lebih rileks? Di setiap sudut Genting Dream Cruise ada aja bar.

Jika kamu ingin minum sambil berjemur di bawah sinar matahari, Pool Deck Bar atau Sun Deck Bar adalah tempat yang tepat.

Pecinta champagne? Langsung  ajake Bubbles Champagner Bar .

Ada juga Johnnie Walker House dengan Dinding Konstelasi Whisky yang indah.

7. Zouk Club dan Zouk Beach Club

Ternyata di Genting Dream Cruise ada club favorit saya, Zouk .

Dulu pas tinggal di Kuala Lumpur sering banget party di Zouk. Jadi keingat jaman dulu.

DJ-nya asik, lampu lasernya keren, standarnya Zouk banget.

Kalau mau santai doank bisa ke ruangan sebelah untuk main bowling atau billiard.

Salah satu pengalaman naik Genting Dream Cruise yang tak terlupakan.

8. Genting Casino

Mana tau mau coba keberuntungan dengan main di mesin roulette atau di meja casino-nya.

Kalau saya memang jarang beruntung sih jadi ga cobain casino haha. 

9. Party dan kembang api 

Di malam terakhir benar-benar wah banget! Semuanya pada berpesta, flashmob dekat kolam renang.

Mau orang dewasa, anak-anak pada ngikutin gerakan crew di atas panggung.

Pastinya saya juga ikutan joget. Di penghujung acara ada kembang api, meriah sekali!

Takut salah bagaimana ya? Bisa dibaca terlebih dahulu ketentuannya di website Klook. Kalau pesen pakai link di artikel ini ya 🙂

Tanya dong, untuk aktivitas di dalam cruise seperti kid pool dan jacuzzi dan zodiak theatre harus reservasi dl nda? Ada aplikasi cruise yg harus diinstal utk reservasi? Thanks before

Hallo untuk kid pool engga perlu, untuk beberapa show iya ada yang harus book dulu ada yang first come first serve. Pas di dalam cruise nanti ada info buat scan qr code sih biasanya kalau mau book

Halo.kak… belinya pake aplikasi apa ya? Saya pakai klook tapi ternyata harga yg saya pilih pas pembayaran di bagian bawah ada TnC harga khusus untuk singapore residents dan pemegang pass. Saya tanya ke CS gak di balas2 sampe sekarang.

Hallo, kayaknya karena ada spesial sale. Aku coba contact Klook juga ya untuk ngecek ntar aku infokan.

Halo kak iya ini bikin dilema jg book via klook.. Nanya CS jg begitu blgnya buat singapore residetnt. tp kl buat non resident ga dikasi tau tmbh brp nya. Bole share dong kak kl misal dpt update hehe..

Hallo, aku udah clarify ke tim klook – rate nya sesuai dengan yang tertera di website Klook kok, tidak ada penambahan harga untuk non resident. Yang mungkin ada perbedaan untuk promo kartu kredit tertentu yang dikeluarkan di Singapura. Selebihnya kalau promo-promo umum gitu harga tetap sama kok.

GENTING DREAM: Cruise Guide for First-Timers

The idea of going on a cruise may be intimidating for some because of the cost. Others dismiss it as a retiree’s holiday option. That may be true many years back, but this trend is gradually changing as years roll by.

The rise of more cruise lines, offering different options and encouraging healthy competition, resulted in relatively reasonable cruise rates. Some of these companies are going the extra mile to reach out to the growing number of travelers that are willing to spend on things or experiences that give good value for money by creating themed cruise ships and coming up with innovative itineraries. Genting Dream is one of those that cater to a wide range of guests — friends, families, couples, and even company incentive trips (or sales conference/meeting).

If you will be sailing with Genting Dream soon and it is your first time, this post is for you. We hope this will help you prepare and maximize your cruise experience. Here are the things you can expect.

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS GUIDE?

Packing & Pre-Trip Preparations

• Travel Documents. You need to bring these documents: passport, a photocopy of your passport’s bio page, a copy of your cruise ticket, and a visa (if necessary). If you are a Philippine passport holder, no visa needed because the sail destinations are within Southeast Asia and the homeport is Singapore. If you want a hassle-free purchase transaction, you may present your credit card.
• Clothes/Outfits. Come on. We know you want to snap as many photos as you can while onboard and during shore excursions. We normally pack two sets of clothes per day: casual for the day activities and smart casual or dressy outfits for the night events, especially if you plan to watch the evening shows or try the fine-dining specialty restaurants. The same goes for footwear. The important thing is that you are comfortable.
• Toiletries. The stateroom comes with the toiletries: shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, lotion, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, cotton buds, and tissues. It also has bath towels, hand towels, bathrobes, and hotel slippers.
• Check-in Luggage. Each passenger can check in more than one luggage without incurring additional fees.
• Onboard Currency. The default currency while on the ship is the Singapore Dollar (SGD).
• Onboard Time. Genting Dream follows Singapore time (same as the Philippines) throughout the entire cruise.
• Dream Cruise Mobile App. Download the App before getting onboard. You can use the App to view ship information, see the daily onboard schedule, check availability of onboard attractions and facilities. You can also use this to send IM to your shipmates, purchase your onboard WiFi package, and review your onboard account statement.

• Embarkation Process. Genting Dream is homeporting in Singapore at the Marina Bay Cruise Center. Upon arrival at the terminal, look for the baggage drop area for the pieces of luggage you want to check-in. Prepare your travel documents for check-in. After that, you will pass through immigration and then security checks before you can finally board the ship.
• Checking-in. You need to present your cruise ticket at the check-in counter to get your Access Card that will serve as your cabin keycard and your purchase card for onboard shopping and when dining at specialty restaurants. You can check-in online via the official website from 7 days up to 24 hours prior to the departure date. If you are going on a shore excursion, you also need to present the Access Card when getting off and returning to the ship. Do not lose this card. When you do, relax. Go to the Reception and they will print another one for you after answering SOP questions.
• Surrender Passport. Upon boarding, the staff will take your passport. Do not panic. You will get it back after the cruise (before you check out).

WELCOME ABOARD!

ATTENTION! Changi Lounge is offering the Fly-Cruise Transfer service, which includes: Seamless bag transfer. End-to-end luggage transfer from Changi Airport Baggage Claim area to the Marina Bay Cruise Terminal to your stateroom! Your luggage will be waiting for you in your cabin. Advance cruise check-in at the lounge. You will have your documents processed in advance and get your Access Card here. Enjoy the lounge amenities. Complimentary buffet, various drink selections, free internet connection, desktop computers, and electrical outlets. It also has meeting rooms, a nap room, and a shower room. You can also explore Jewel while waiting. The lounge is located near the famous Rain Vortex and the Changi Experience Studio. Ground transfer. The transportation to the cruise terminal from the airport is also covered. When you avail of this service, you will skip the check-in process at the Marina Bay Cruise Center and head straight to the immigration process.

Safety Drill

Before setting sail, there’s a safety drill that everyone is required to participate in. You need to pay attention and familiarize yourself with the ship’s map, especially your Assembly Station (which is indicated on your Access Card), and the emergency exits in case of an emergency. Check the Dream Daily/Dream Weekender directory that you will find in your cabin for the safety drill schedule. Ours was held at 9:00 PM.

3 Complimentary Restaurants

This is part of what you paid for when you booked your cruise ticket. You can dine here without incurring additional fees. It’s free-of-charge. Genting Dream has three inclusive restaurant options:

• Dream Dining Room Lower. It serves either a semi-buffet type or Chinese set menu, depending on the schedule. You may check the Dream Daily/Dream Weekender directory for the info. This is located on Deck 7, Aft section of the ship. Reservation is required.
• Dream Dining Room Upper. This only serves the Chinese set menu. This is located on Deck 8, Aft section of the ship. Reservation is required.
• The Lido. This serves Asian and international buffet, including Halal and Indian cuisines. The outdoor area of the restaurant is a 24-hour snack place that also serves morning tea and afternoon tea. This is located on Deck 16, Aft section.

Dream Dining Room Upper and Lower have a ballroom hall-themed setting and floor-to-ceiling windows that afford guests the magnificent views of the ocean.

Note: Alcoholic drinks are not free-of-charge.

You may also try the specialty restaurants! Genting Dream has nine. Charges apply when dining at any of these, but if you are craving any of their offerings, go for it. Here are your options:

• Umi Uma (Japanese Cuisine and Teppanyaki / Korean BBQ; Deck 8, Aft)
• Hot Pot (Choice of meat, seafood or vegetarian hot pot; outdoor setting; Deck 8, Aft)
• Prime Steakhouse by Mark Best (Western Dishes / Steak; Deck 8, Mid)
• Seafood Grill by Mark Best (Western Dishes / Seafood; Deck 8, Mid)
• Gelateria (Homemade Gelato; Deck 8, Aft)
• Blue Lagoon (Hawker Food / Asian and International; Deck 7, Mid, open 24 hours)
• Lobby Café (Coffee / Tea / Bread; Deck 6, Mid)
• Silk Road Chinese Restaurant (Chinese Fine Dining; Deck 6, Forward)
• Crystal Life Cuisine (Healthy Options; Deck 15, Forward)

Shore Excursions (Shorex)

To put it simply, these are pre-arranged tours at every stop. One of the best things I love about cruising is that you get to visit other countries while enjoying the cruise ship’s amenities and features at the same time.

This time with Genting Dream, we took the weekend getaway package with a stop at Bintan Island in Indonesia. For this stop, there are three Shorex options to choose from: Tanjung Urban Explorer, Scuba Tryout at Trikora Coast, and Bintan Black Coral Leisure Diving. We took the first option which includes Gurun Pasir Busung (sand desert), Telaga Biru (Blue Oasis), and Trily Resort Center Mangrove Forest in the itinerary.

You can also pull a D-I-Y. It’s up to you. Here are the scenarios:

• Booking a Shorex. This is the same as joining a guided group tour. You won’t have to worry about getting to one attraction to the next or how much it will cost you because everything, including the meal, will be taken care of for you by the local tour operator partners. You can be assured that you will return to the ship on time.
• Pulling a D-I-Y. You can travel at your own pace and control your itinerary. It is also a cheaper option. BUT, you need to be aware of the time. Make sure that you return to the port on time or earlier because the ship will not wait for you. It will leave, with or without you.

Whatever you choose, you will be given a small sheet of paper upon disembarkation. This usually contains instructions and the address of the port where the ship is docked. Don’t forget to bring your Access Card and a photocopy of your passport bio page.

Note: Some Shorex options may require a lot of walking or trekking or activities that might not be suitable for those with health issues. Carefully check the itinerary and assess if the tour is viable for you. Also, each tour needs a minimum number of participants. A tour may be canceled if it doesn’t meet the minimum requirement.

Room and Amenities

Genting Dream has four types of accommodations: Interior Stateroom, Oceanview Stateroom, Balcony Stateroom, and the exclusive suites, collectively referred to as The Palace. Since the ship caters to families and big groups, there are over 100 connecting rooms. About 70 percent of accommodations feature spacious balcony staterooms. Aside from the toiletries and towels, the rooms also have haird ryer, mini-refrigerator, safe, water kettle, complimentary bottled water, tea, coffee, and sugar packets. These are replenished daily as housekeeping do regular cleaning.

The cheapest is the Interior Stateroom. If you want to make the most of the ship’s features, you will probably be spending most of your time outside the room — swimming, sunbathing, eating, playing, shopping, watching shows or going on shore excursions.

Here are some amenities that you can enjoy for FREE:

• Waterslide Park. You have six slide types to choose from — from gentle slopes for the family to steep inclines for the adventurous. Wear proper swimming attire. Follow the rules and the staff on duty for your safety. Located on Deck 20, Aft.
• Main Pool and Kids Water Park. Located on Deck 16, Mid. You can see the Waterslide Park from here. You can also relax and sunbathe at the Sun Deck on Deck 17, Mid.
• Crystal Life Fitness. This is the gym. If you don’t want to miss your workout routine, you can do it here. Located on Deck 15. You can also go to the Jogging Track on Deck 17, Forward.
• Ropes Course. Perfect bonding activity for the family, couples, and groups. Complete the course and punctuate it with the 35-meter zipline, gliding along the side of the ship above the water from Deck 18.
• Sportsplex. A large outdoor court that can host basketball, tennis, archery, bubble soccer, and other physical games. Located on Deck 19, Aft.
• Rock Climbing Wall. Wear proper footwear. Located on Deck 18, Aft.
• Mini-Golf. Nine-hole putting course. Please wear proper sports shoes. Located on Deck 18, Aft.

If you like to shop or bring home some souvenirs, you can get duty-free items from The Dream Boutiques located on Decks 6 and 7. The Dream Store/Souvenir Mart, located on Deck 6, is where you can get Dream Cruises merchandise. If you fell in love with one of the artworks you see inside the ship, you can go to the Art Gallery, located on Deck 8, to purchase a copy of that artwork.

Evening Shows and Events

The night is as exciting as the day onboard Genting Dream. You can choose from brilliant live production shows brought to you by the award-winning international entertainment team. During our cruise, we have two choices: SONIO – A Tale of Two Dreams and Some Like It Hot. We were able to watch the latter at Zodiac Theatre. You need to reserve your seat for the show at the Box Office on Deck 6 (Mid). You can find the opening hours of the Box Office on the Dream Daily/Dream Weekender directory sheet provided in your cabin.

If you want to brush up on your moves and still got the energy to dance the night away, let Zouk and Zouk Beach Club orchestrate an unforgettable party for you as it brings the best beats by world-class DJs. Both are located on Deck 17. Zouk is Singapore’s most sought-after nightclub and consistently chosen one of the top ten clubs in the world.

If you booked a 5-night cruise, expect a grand night party on the last night called Dream Night. This usually happens at the pool deck. You can also check out the bars if you just want to have a sip and unwind. Here are some of them: Sun Deck Bar (Deck 17/Mid), Pool Deck Bar (Deck 16/Mid), Red Lion (Deck 7/Mid/24 hours), Bar 360 (Deck 6/Mid), Karaoke (five rooms/Deck 6/Mid), and Bar City, a collection of bars in one area: Johnnie Walker House, Penfolds Wine Vault, Mixt Cocktail Bar, Humidor Cigar Lounge, and Bubbles Champagne Bar (Deck 8/Mid).

Cinema at Sea

For movie enthusiasts, you can still watch while on board. Depending on the schedule, here are the places to catch flicks: Zodiac Theatre (Deck 7/Forward), Zouk Beach Club (Deck 17/Aft), and the Lobby (Deck 6/Mid). Check the Dream Daily/Dream Weekender directory sheet for the venue and the time.

Yes! You can connect to the internet while at sea. How? Subscribe to WiFi through the Dream Cruises Mobile App. Here are the rates. Note: Rates vary depending on how many days and the package type.

• Standard: SGD19 – SGD95. Good for e-mail, chat, and social media. You can connect up to two devices.
• Premium: SGD29 – SGD145. Good for e-mail, chat, social media, and light media streaming. You can connect up to two devices.

Checking Out and Disembarkation

The day before disembarkation, you will receive a Disembarkation Notice explaining the check out procedure, disembarkation procedure, travel document collection, and baggage collection.

• If you don’t want to carry your luggage throughout the disembarkation process, you may leave it outside your cabin on or before the specified time. Set aside a small carry on bag for all the important stuff such as your wallet, your travel documents, prescribed medicine, etc. Get your luggage at the Baggage Claim Area after going through the immigration process.
• Settle your account’s balance before checking out to avoid delays during disembarkation. Reminder: A mandatory gratuity of SGD21 per night is charged to EVERY guest. For guests staying in the suite, it’s SGD26 per night. This rule is not applicable to infants below two years old.

Genting Dream cruise review and survival tips by an indie traveller

By: Author Jaclynn Seah

Posted on Published: December 24, 2017  - Last updated: October 23, 2019

Categories Review , Malaysia , Singapore , Thailand

Excluding the time I spent a week sailing through the Galapagos Islands , the last time I went on a proper fancy cruise was back when I was a very young child and I remember absolutely nothing from that experience. So tagging along with my family on the Genting Dream cruise over the holiday season was a rather interesting experience for me, and I thought I’d share with you what my cruise experience was like, and some hacks I figured out to make your cruise better (and involve less queuing).

Also – this is not a sponsored post , I wasn’t even planning to write about this trip at all since it’s a family vacation and it’s not my usual style of travel, but I was looking for info on the Genting Dream the day before I departed (wooh for last minute research), and only realised then that this was a pretty new route that launched just a month earlier in late November 2017 and the ship will spend a year with Singapore as its home port . There were pretty mixed reviews from Tripadvisor , so I thought I’d add my voice to the conversation. Also, I’m sure other indie travellers might be in the same boat (hurhur pun) as me and this might help them survive their own vacations a little beter.

I did the 6D5N Island Escapade that followed a route from Singapore to Klang and Penang in Malaysia, and then to Phuket , Thailand before heading back home, my last trip of 2017 . Click on the hyperlinks to see my experiences and recommendations travelling in these areas.

Why would an indie traveller even join a cruise?

I’ve established through my travels that I like to travel in a certain way that I describe as Indie Flashpacker, where I figure out my own travel plans and don’t have much of an itinerary, and while I travel pretty cheaply I’m willing to spend on occasion. But taking a cruise is quite the antithesis of being an Indie Flashpacker, my biggest issue is that it sometimes feels like you are trapped in a Marina Bay Sands Twilight Zone that you can’t escape . Sure, this ginormous ship has 19 decks and planned activities, but it does get stifling after a bit.

And the most important thing about travel for me is being able to explore a place on my own terms and time, and that’s quite difficult to do on a cruise schedule, where you are pretty much limited to very short day/half-day trips every time you are in port. You could do it, but you’ll need to do a lot of prep work to squeeze the most out of your limited time on land. To be fair, I love waking up each morning in a new city or country, and the plus points of not having to squeeze on planes or go through tedious airport security is awesome, but if I wanted to properly visit a place, this is not how I want to do it.

You think being on a somewhat inclusive cruise (I’ll get into why I say ‘somewhat’ further down) means being able to turn your brain off for a bit, but frankly I found having to figure out their schedule sometimes a tad stressful, especially because there are quite limited hours for certain activities, so I couldn’t quite laze around as much as I wanted to if I wanted to get stuff done.

The Genting Dream Survival Guide

Enough of my whinging – regardless of how or why, you’re headed on a cruise, and here’s how you can survive the next few days and actually have yourself a decent time. Read on for more details on my Genting Dream cruise experience as well.

Board early if you can

The Genting Dream is HUGE. And I mean GINORMOUS. The ship has 19 levels, accommodates 3,400 pax and easily towers over any other ship in port with it. Correspondingly there are a massive ton of people trying to board the ship, so boarding early means less arduous queues to suffer through, and if you have luggage, it gets sent up to your room much faster then if you come on board later. Hot tip: pack your essentials in a day bag that you can carry with you so you aren’t stuck waiting for your bags to get sent to your room.

The ship set sail at around 6pm, and the final boarding call time was at 430pm, but we decided to head in much earlier and reached the Marina Bay Cruise Centre at around 12pm. It was about 1pm when they called for our group to board, and about 120pm by the time I put my stuff down in my room. I was definitely quite a lot faster than my sister who had to take her kids through the regular counters while I went through the automated check-in for Singaporeans. There are a lot of foreigners who fly into Singapore just to hop on this cruise, mostly Asians – the nationalities I was seeing/hearing a lot of: Singaporean, Malaysian, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian.

The main perk of boarding early is that it is the best time to go try out the popular activities that you really do not want to queue up for – everyone else is just getting oriented to the ship, so you have a lot of people wandering around exploring, but no one is really ready to do anything. We had the main pool on Deck 16 mostly to ourselves that first afternoon, and my sis and I hit the water slides multiple times that evening without having to queue or wait as others had to do in the following days, and I saw some people doing the rope course as well.

Other optimum times to hit the facilities with less crowds around are during mealtimes or if you come back from your day trips a little earlier than everyone else – most people aim to return in the last hour or so before the boarding time, so if you put your things down in your room and head straight out, there’s a good chance you’ll get less of a queue.

Of course if you can afford it, the Dream Palace VIP level means no queues wherever you go, but it costs about 2x as much as a regular room, so I’d say only if you can afford it and want to live the lux life.

Know the daily activity schedule

The timings of meals and activities fluctuates every single day, which is a bit of a pain for someone like me who likes having a fairly stable time schedule to remember. There is a daily newsletter with highlights that gets placed outside your room or in the main areas, or download the Dream Cruises app, which has the same info that they have on the e-notice board located around the boat.

There were a ton of families on board with kids of all ages. I think you need to be at least 1.4m in height and about 8-10 years old to fully utilise all the fun facilities like the slides and rope course, otherwise you might end up a tad disappointed like my poor niece.

Some random activity comments:

• Water Slides: There are 2 baby slides, but for the real fun you have to climb up 3 decks to the large water slides. There are 3 levels, my favourite was the Medium level because there is a particularly steep vertical drop right at the start which is like, woah.
• Rope Course: You’re about 2m in the air walking over obstacles and climbing stuff which is pretty fun – stick to the outside of the course where you can look down over the side of the boat, but the best part is the zipline at the end of the course where you zip over the side of the boat. Most thrilling to do on the last day while the boat is on the move!
• Glow Bowling: This can be found at Zouk at Level 17 and is UV lit later in the night, but it usually is a lot less crowded if you go earlier in the evening as it starts getting crowded after dinner and there are only 4 lanes. It also costs $8/game (10 frames) – which means each person pays $8 to bowl 10 frames unless you’re happy to share.

You have to sign up for slots for some of the activities like the night shows in the theatre. Unless you have a really big group and want to guarantee a slot for your entire group, I honestly don’t think you need to bother, especially later in the trip when the theatres seemed more empty. My mum who’s pretty organised about this sorta thing signed us up for 4 shows, I ended up going to only 2 of them:

• The Santa’s Leading Ladies show was a medley of Christmas songs sung by 3 ladies that I personally found very boring and made worse by the amount of typos in the song lyrics flashed on either side of the stage, as well as the poor gif like animations used in the background. I’ve seen more polished school projects, come on.
• The house show Voyage of a Lover’s Dream is a bit of an abstract mishmash of everything and there seems to be a very loose storyline based on an astronaut and a mermaid falling in love (you’ll see the artwork on the side of the boat as well), and it’s entertaining at least. Some of the acrobatics are mindboggling, the trampoline act is like woah.

This is a Genting boat after all, so there are tons of gambling opportunities for you all around as you walk around Levels 6-8 where all the dining and shopping happens. I hardly went to the casinos because I’m just not interested so I can’t tell you very much about that.

Where and when to eat

Genting Dream boasts of over 35 dining concepts within its ship , but here’s a bit of a reality check, only 3 of these are inclusive dining areas like The Lido (International buffet, deck 16), Dream Dining Upper (Chinese food, deck 8) and Dream Dining Lower (Western food, deck 7), which is what you are limited to when you’re on a plebian tier (my words, not theirs). Everything else you pay extra for unless you are in the Dream Palace tier (that’s like the VIP tier).

The meal timings fluctuate, and you would think going to eat early would mean less queuing, but that seems to be what everyone thinks as well, so you are actually better off going at around an hour or so after the opening meal time for that first wave to leave, especially on the first day. My friends on the VIP tier say that the premium restaurants were mostly uncrowded, so if you are tired of queuing, maybe consider forking out the cash for a fancier experience.

For breakfast, I had a much better experience in Dream Dining Lower than in The Lido – it was much easier to get a seat and much less crowded. There was less food selection of course compared to the buffet spread in The Lido, but the food quality was definitely better, actually warm and better tasting in my opinion. The Dream Dining rooms do set meals, so you get assigned a table and either get to choose from a list of set meals (western), or you get served family style (chinese).

The Lido definitely does lunch and dinner better – I like having variety, but it also gets pretty packed compared to the other 2 dining areas. It’s a U-shaped room with multiple food stations, but it isn’t entirely identical on each side. The starboard (right side when you face the front) of The Lido tends to be less crowded compared to the port side (left side). The bend of the U is an extremely popular Indian food section – this cruise seems to be quite popular with the Indians, which means yay curries and papadum for variety but holy moly it gets crowded when the Indian folk all come into the restaurant at once.

If you have super picky eaters, there’s a bakery on board and some smaller meal options where it’s not crazy expensive that might work for you. Donuts were going at around $3.50 and a Breakfast Set for around $7, not cheap but hey you’re a captive customer, it’s not insane either.

Some food comments:

• I’d recommend: beef (DDL as a set meal and the carved roast up in the Lido), bak kut teh (DDL – it’s Malaysian style with lots of ingredients but the soup quantity itself is quite small), live noodle stations (super spicy tom yam, great prawn noodle soup and lor mee, I liked the fishball noodle soup but the fishball itself was forgettable), fried chicken (can’t go wrong honestly). We had a seafood Chinese dinner that was pretty good on our last night (DDU)
• I’d skip with no regret: juices (these are very much cordial drinks and very sweet at that. Stick to water), dory fish (DDL – it’s kinda soggy and fishy), porridge (especially if it’s not hot like our first breakfast in The Lido)

The ship docked in different ports every day – Kuala Lumpur (Port Klang, I skipped this and stayed on board), Penang (Swettenham Pier which is really near George Town) and Phuket (near Patong Bay).

For Phuket, you’ll need to pick up a ferry transfer ticket to transfer you from the boat to the land, unlike the other 2 where you can walk off the boat directly. Whatever time you pick, hustle down to pickup area (ours was in the Zodiac Theatre) as early as you can, because they board on a first-come-first-serve basis and it can take awhile. We waited at least half an hour for our 945am call time to finally board a ferry. The return is much faster though, possibly because the seas are less choppy in the evening and there are more boats.

The moment you disembark, you will be surrounded by people offering taxi services – do your research beforehand so you know how much to pay and not get ripped off. It’s a bit of a swarm, I let my family work out the details and just tagged along. You definitely could consider walking, catching a cheap public bus or taking a Grab in Penang because of the proximity to George Town, unless you plan to travel further. For Phuket, there is a decent stretch of beach within walking distance of the port if you rather not travel too far. It’s a bit crowded, but you can do your sea sports and the water/sand are nice enough.

The ship also organises day tours, which I honestly thought were pretty pricey, but that’s to be expected. We had actually planned to go on a Phi Phi island tour but the weather wasn’t great so that got cancelled. Instead we ended up heading to some sort of activity centre for ATV rides, and they also offered elephant rides and ziplining.

Looking for ideas on things to do in Penang and Phuket?

• There is so much street art to see and easy to get to in George Town ( click here for a detailed guide ), or if you are more adventurous and are hiring a driver anyway, why not head to Balik Pulau or take a quick ferry transfer to Butterworth ( here’s where to go exactly )
• Of course Penang is a great foodie destination, so make sure to eat, eat, eat !

Most of my Phuket experience has been about their resorts, but there was that one time I ate insects , which was pretty memorable :p

So that’s a bit of my experience on the Genting Dream and cruising, there are good things about cruising and as can be seen from the sheer number of people on board, lots of people love this type of travel but it’s just not for me, so I doubt I’ll be cruising again anytime soon. Drop any questions you might have below and I’ll try and help.

I am going to spent 5N6D on genting dream cruise with my wife and two kids. I will have 4 shore excursion i.e. port klang, lagkawi, penang and phuket. My querry is that can i get shore excursion options outside the port from local travel agent or i have to book in advance.

Jaclynn Seah

Usually at the port when you disembark from the cruise ship, there are lot of drivers etc offering you tours and other services, so you can book from there. You can probably make your own arrangements as well, or book via the ship's tour desk.

Going on the Genting Dream cruise in the 1st week of October.

Can you please tell us what kind of wall sockets for power are available in the rooms?

I honestly don't remember offhand, sorry!

Thursday 25th of April 2019

Hello, I'm curious on where did the ship docked at penang? From the port is there any form of transport available to go george town? If so, how much should i set aside for it?

Hi Estie - if you look at the section under day trips, in Penang the boat docks at Swettenham Pier which is quite close to downtown George Town. There are lots of taxis waiting and guides waiting for passengers coming off the boat, Price really depends on where you go though, hard for me to advise about that.

What it’s like to go on Shore Excursions with Genting Dream to KL, Penang, & Phuket on a 6D5N Cruise (Review)

By June Wan

Once again, the world is our oyster. Travel lanes are open and there are flights to almost every part of the earth. But if the thought of folding yourself into a standard airline seat induces mental cramps, why not consider a cruise? Even better; say “bye” to those maundering cruises to nowhere that were de rigueur during COVID days, and voyage on a vessel to a destination – or three.

That’s what the child and I did when we were invited to cruise with Genting Dream on its inaugural sailing from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur (Port Klang), Penang, and Phuket. Genting Dream, which is run by Resorts World Cruises, offers specially curated shore excursions for each port of call. These are run by independent tour operators and can be booked onboard at least 24 hours before.

(See also: SingaporeMotherhood’s first 6D5N cruise on Genting Dream )

KUALA LUMPUR (PORT KLANG)

It is a 45-minute journey from Port Klang jetty to Batu Caves. This limestone outcrop north of Kuala Lumpur consists of three main caves featuring temples and Hindu shrines. A massive gold-painted statue of the Hindu deity Lord Murugan stands guard next to the iconic rainbow steps. Plain-clothed devotees ascending to worship cut a stark contrast against influencers twirling in gauzy skirts for that perfect social media shot. We buy a packet of seeds to feed the pigeons, but there is not enough time to climb the 272 steps and enter the caves to explore.

From here it’s a journey back in time to the 1960s, the golden era of KL’s Chinatown. Lovingly restored and meticulously curated, Kwai Chai Hong is a celebration of chinois nostalgia. Snap a photo with an installation, pose before a mural, and grab a cuppa of ‘gao’ coffee at the nearby Kafei Dian, a retro kopitiam housed in a 109-year-old Pos Malaysia Office building.

Chop Chop curry pok and we’re back on the bus heading to Petronas Twin Towers for lunch at Madam Kwan’s. This KL foodie institution serves classic Malaysian dishes, and its signature Nasi Lemak has been recommended as the best nasi lemak by the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia. We’re feasting on Nasi Bojari today though, a hefty indulgence of tri-coloured rice, Assam Prawn, Beef Rendang, vegetables, and deep fried chicken drumstick.

We need a walk around the mall to help move the meal down. By the way, the 88-storey Twin Towers is also home to Petrosains, The Discovery Centre. If you have the time, this science and STEM centre is definitely worth a visit with the kids.

Our final stop is the Regent Layered Cake Shop, an old school bakery whose layer cakes that alternate spongy chiffon and silky jelly were named ‘cake of the world’ by CNN Travel. In terms of flavour, pandan is the classic, but they also have corn, yam, a mix of the two, and, when it’s in season, durian.

If “Char Kway Teow” is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear “Penang”, it might be a good idea to sign up for a shore excursion and learn more about this Pearl of the Orient. For instance, did you know that there’s a Penang Hill? And that a cool funicular takes you up there? At 833m above sea level, Penang Hill is where you can get breathtaking views of the city, and eat, hike, stay, and visit the UNESCO awarded Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve.

We descend one peak to scale another, this time in the heart of the city, and by less exciting means. Top @ Komtar has a Rainbow Skywalk on Level 68, and an Observatory Deck on Level 65. It’s a touristy thing but the view is spectacular, and there are cute installations to take photos with. The queues to the lifts for each viewing level are slow-moving, something to keep in mind as you will have to factor in time to return to the ship.

It is peak lunch hour when we make it to Lebuh Keng Kwee in George Town and the coffee shop is heaving with customers. There is more waiting to do, this time for our Char Kway Teow and cendol, but the flavours are worth it. We order the oyster omelette and Assam Laksa as well. When it comes to Penang hawker food, resistance is futile.

Of course we get to admire the street art that this UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for. After all, if you went to Penang and didn’t take a photo of the street art, did you even go to Penang?

Genting Dream is the first cruise ship to visit post-pandemic Phuket and the island is ready and waiting. The sun’s rays streak through a cloud mesh as we board our shuttle for our five-minute ride across the sea. Stepping onto the shore, it seems as if the entire island has come out to welcome us. Music is playing. The Governor of Phuket is here. Thai dancers in shiny costumes flow with grace in welcome. Tourism officials shake our hands and present us with specially-sewn tote bags. You win. I have my Baht and am ready to spend, spend, spend! But first…

We head for Phuket Old Town, a vibrant enclave of historic Sino-Portuguese architecture, cafes, museums, and shops. Our first stop is Woo Gallery, a shophouse museum that showcases how Chinese migrants in Phuket lived a 100 years ago. There are antiques and artefacts galore, from priceless glass-blown vases that signify wealth and status by their shape and colour, to ancient gramophones, porcelain, and even a wooden baby rocker.

From there we walk a few doors down to the quaint Bann 92 cafe where a couple of Nonya matriarchs teach us how to cook our Thai Hokkien Mee lunch. We eat in the lush backyard garden, and try our hands at making ang ku kueh. There is time to wander around the very photogenic and Instagrammable Phuket Old Town after this. Later we stop by Pornthip for edible souvenirs, and the Madunan T-Shirt Shop which sells tees at wholesale prices.

The van drops us back at the jetty. We’re free to wander, as long as we return to the ship by 6pm. Should we get a massage? Eat some Thai food? Go to the beach? Do some shopping? There’s enough time to do it all but the sky is darkening and the child – who has been waking up early for three consecutive days – is drooping like a withered daffodil. So we hop onto a shuttle and head back to our home at sea, the Genting Dream.

Shore and Sea on the Genting Dream

Three shore excursions over three consecutive days on a six day, five night cruise is no joke. Call times are at 8am and by the time we make it back to the ship after the excursions it is late afternoon. Hence there is only one full day to take advantage of the ship’s facilities.

To give you an idea:

• Sunday – board Genting Dream in the afternoon
• Monday – Kuala Lumpur
• Tuesday – Penang
• Wednesday – Phuket
• Thursday – At sea
• Friday – Back in Singapore

Of course, it is possible to plan your own shore excursions and return earlier, or skip the shore completely and enjoy a relatively less crowded ship. However the shore excursions are a good idea if you are new to the destination, or prefer to leave the planning in the hands of the experts. It may also be easier if you are cruising with young ones or the elderly.

To be honest, I’d have liked an extra day at sea to decompress and enjoy more of Genting Dream’s facilities (more on them in our first Genting Dream trip report here ), which is what the child and I did whenever we could. The best part? Chilling out at the cabin balcony, watching the sea meet the sky, and knowing that there’s more of this out there for us to enjoy and explore on another cruise, another day.

Genting Dream’s next 6D5N cruise to KL, Penang, and Phuket is on 12 March 2023 (during the March school hols, b tw ) . Three-night cruises from Singapore to Phuket will start in May this year. See the latest deals and book your cruise at https://rwcruises.com/

Genting Dream Review

Review of genting dream.

The 2016-built MS Genting Dream cruise ship was the first vessel in the fleet of the Chinese premium brand Dream Cruises (Genting Hong Kong/GHK-owned subsidiary company launched in November 2015). One of the world's largest passenger liners , the 151300-GT-ton vessel debuted in November 2016. Its former fleetmates were World Dream/Manara (2017/sistership), Resorts World One (1999-built as SuperStar Virgo, named Explorer Dream after the transfer from Star Cruises in 2019) and the larger Global Dream/Disney Adventure (2020/GLOBAL-class).

The vessel (IMO number 9733105) is currently Bahamas- flagged (MMSI 311000319) and registered in Nassau .

Since May 2022, Genting Dream operates for Resorts World Cruises ( new travel brand ) established by GHK's former owner Lim Kok Thai.

MS Genting Dream's last drydock refurbishment was in 2023 (February 17 through March 1), being previously refurbished in 202 (January). Both drydocking renovation projects were conducted in Singapore (at Sembcorp Marine Admiralty Yard).

History - construction and ownership

In late-April 2022, Asian online media reported that Genting Dream becomes the first liner in the fleet of "Resorts World Cruises" - a Singapore -registered company (incorporated on March 9, 2022) established by Lim Kok Thay (Genting Group/Genting Cruise Lines). Also was reported that Resorts World Cruises is in negotiations with banks and investors to acquire Dream Cruises' other two vessels (Explorer Dream, World Dream).

The company's management team is led by Colin Au (CEO and Executive Director) and Michael Goh (President and International Sales Directors). Resorts World Cruises opened bookings for Genting Dream on May 18, 2022.

The parent company "Resorts World" is a Genting Group-owned subsidiary (Malaysian hospitality and casino franchise) and brand used across all Genting-owned resorts and casinos worldwide. Resorts World has ultra-premium properties (46 total/as of 2022) in Asia (Malaysia's Pahang, Terengganu, Langkawi-Kedah, Singapore's Sentosa Island, Philippines' Newport City-Pasay, Entertainment City-Paranaque, Macau's Nam Vam Lake), also in the USA (Winchester Nevada, Queens NYC, Kiamesha Lake NY, Miami Florida), Bahamas (North Bimini) and Europe (Solihull-Birmingham, England UK).

On May 18, 2022, at a news conference, Resorts World Cruises officially announced that as a "gesture of goodwill" the new company will offer complimentary FCCs/future cruise credits of "equivalent value" to all customers affected by World Dream's cancellations ( cruises to nowhere from Singapore/bookings for voyages scheduled for departure between March 2 and August 31, 2022). The FCCs were valid for the period June 15, 2022, through March 31, 2023, and applicable only to affected World Dream bookings that had not yet received any refund from the original booking source.

According to Colin Au (Resorts World Cruises' CEO and Executive Director, also GHK's former Deputy CEO), as the provisional liquidator couldn't revive the brand (Dream Cruises), they had worked with the Chinese lessors (Genting Dream's shipowner) and had decided to restart operations under the new "Resorts World" brand.

GHK is a global entertainment, hospitality, and leisure company based in Hong Kong . For its new Dream Cruises brand, GHK ordered two custom-built vessels to serve the Asian market, specifically China. GHK's other two cruise market segments were served by separate brands - Crystal Cruises (ultra-luxury) and Star Cruises (contemporary).

On October 7, 2013, Star Cruises announced that GHK signed a shipbuilding agreement with Meyer Werft ( Papenburg Germany ) for the construction of a new vessel for Star Cruises, with scheduled delivery in 2016-Q4. On February 10, 2014, was ordered a sistership, with scheduled delivery in 2017-Q4. Both vessels were with gross tonnage 150,000 GT tons and double-occupancy passenger capacity 3364.

However, later GHK decided to create a new brand (Dream Cruises) and both newbuilds were transferred to the new company. MS Genting World's (later renamed "MS World Dream") steel-cutting ceremony was held on February 9, 2015, at Meyer Werft Papenburg shipyard. MS Genting Dream debuted in November 2016. The sistership World Dream was launched in November 2017. On August 20, 2016, Genting Dream was floated out of the covered building dock 2 at Meyer Werft Papenburg.

Decks and Cabins

MS Genting Dream staterooms (1686 total) accommodate between 3376-3400 passengers served by 2020 crew, meaning a crew-to-guest ratio of 1:1.7, which is the highest in comparison to any Asia Pacific ship. The German-built vessel is also designed with spacious interiors.

~70% of all staterooms are with private step-out balconies, and 100+ cabins are connecting (with adjoining interior doors) making them suitable for families. Suite services include special perks, privileges, professional European butler service.

The largest accommodations are the Dream Grand Villas (sized 224 m2 / 2410 ft2). Other Dream Suite categories Executive (56-80 m2 / 600-860 ft2) and Deluxe (43 m2 / 460 ft2).

"THE PALACE" is a ship-within-ship concept/exclusive complex consisting of 154x premium Palace Suites (sized 37-40 m2 / 400-430 ft2), with exclusive dining and lounge venues/areas, butler service, suite-only perks. The 5-star luxury complex is sized nearly 10,000 m2 (108,000 ft2) and includes The Palace Restaurant, Gym, exclusive sundeck with a swimming pool. The all-inclusive luxury experience features Seafood Buffet (The Palace Restaurant), complimentary Premium Beverage package (in all onboard bars and restaurants), Captain's Welcome Cocktail Party, Crystal Life Cafe (healthy breakfast, vegetarian lunch), dedicated Kids Program (for children 2 to 12 yo), dedicated "Connoisseurs Circle" (enrichment program), complimentary fitness classes, complimentary shore excursions, priority services, specialty dining shipwide.

The boat has 18 decks , of which 14 are passenger-accessible and 10 with cabins.

Note: Deck 15 is actually the ship's "Deck 14". This enumeration is due to the fact that for the Chinese, numbers that include 4 are considered unlucky - similar to the Western practice about the number 13, and the Italians' number 17.

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

Genting Dream features 35 bars and restaurants, offering a wide choice of dining experiences for her guests. The restaurants offer regional cuisines, with an emphasis on Chinese and Asian dishes, as well as international flavors like Southeast Asian, Japanese, Italian and more. A 610 m wrap-around promenade is a special place for dining and offers seaside dining and lounging from early morning to late evening in various themed venues.

Follows the complete list of Genting Dream restaurants and food bars.

• Genting Dining Room (300 indoor seats) is a complimentary restaurant open for breakfast (7-10 am), lunch (12-noon - 2 pm) and dinner (5-8 pm). Chinese dishes and vegetarian options are always available.
• Dream Dining Room (872 indoor seats / 370 upper & 502 lower level) is a complimentary restaurant open for breakfast (6-9 am), lunch (12-noon - 2 pm) and dinner (5-8 pm). Chinese dishes and vegetarian options are always available.
• The Lido (629 indoor seats, 194 outdoor seats) is a complimentary buffet (self-serve) restaurant open for breakfast (7-10 am), lunch (12-noon - 2 pm) and dinner (5-8 pm). Breakfast options include made-to-order dishes (omelets, pancakes, waffles). Lunch and dinner options also include made-to-order dishes (pasta, salads), fresh-baked pizzas, soups, carving stations (roasts), Asian entrees, vegetarian dishes, separate salad bar, fresh fish (catch of the day), desserts (incl sugar-free items). In November 2018, Dream Cruises introduced on Genting Dream Halal cuisine options, which made the liner currently the only one in Asia with JAKIM Halal food certification (granted by Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia).

Genting Dream Wiki

In January 2017, Dream Cruises announced the inaugural cruise itineraries of their first newbuild Genting Dream. The homeporting in Singapore (starting December 3, 2017) made it the first large-sized cruise ship based there for year-round operations. Genting Dream is the latest generation vessel (Germany-built) and is calling at more than 10 ports in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam during 2018.

The vessel (Meyer Neptun yard/hull number S712) has volume 150695 GT-tons, DWT-deadweight 15370 tons, mx width 44 m (with the bridge wings), max draught 8,6 m. The powerplant is based on MAN B&W marine diesel engines (model 14V48/60B) with combined output 62,4 MW (83680 hp).

Before Resorts World Cruises, the registered shipowner were three Genting Hong Kong Ltd-owned companies (Xiang CR18 HK International Ship Lease Co Ltd, Sea 172 Leasing Co Ltd, Compass Shipping 32 Co Ltd) while the registered operator was GENTING CRUISE LINES.

The vessel's physical construction/assembly officially started on December 4, 2015, with the keel-laying ceremony held at Meyer Werft GmbH's Neptun yard in Papenburg Germany . During the ceremony, a massive keel block (number 2 / one of the ship's all 92 building blocks) was lifted into the dock to officially start the assembly process. GHK's Chairman and CEO Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay laid the traditional "lucky coin" (a good fortune symbol) under the block to bless the new vessel.

The vessel was floated out from drydock on August 20, 2016. Its conveyance (northbound route to North Seas along Ems River) started on September 18, leaving the Papenburg shipyard at around 2 pm. It entered the North Sea waters on Sept 19, at around 6 pm. After the scheduled sea trials, the ship docked in Bremerhaven (at Columbus Cruise Center).

On November 14, 2016, was the christening ceremony held at Guangzhou (Port Nansha) . The ship's godmother is Mrs. Puan Sri Cecilia Lim - wife of Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay. He is Chairman and CEO of GHK (Genting Hong Kong) and second son of Genting Group's founder Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong. The naming ceremony was attended by over 900 distinguished guests, including numerous VIPs (prominent Chinese government officials, top executives from the cruise industry and shipping trade). Among the VIP guests were Cai Zhaolin (Guangzhou's Vice Mayor), Zeng Xiaofeng (Tourism Administration of Guangdong Province's Deputy Director), Chen Hongxian (Guangzhou Port's Chairman), Cai Jinlong (Guangzhou Port's General Manager). The welcome aboard event was held at the ship's Zodiac Theater (999-seat show lounge) led by Thatcher Brown (Dream Cruises' President). Next spoke Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay (GHK's Chairman and CEO). Followed the traditional for China exchange of gifts.

On October 12, 2016, the vessel was officially delivered to Dream Cruises by Meyer Werft in Bremerhaven. Ships' hull art (titled "Voyage of a Lover’s Dream”) is by the Chinese artist Jacky Tsai.

Wartsila Funa was the supplier of the ship's unique external "Dynamic Exterior Lighting" system. The order was placed in 2016-Q1. The innovative lighting system provides stunning visual effects (color, movement, and video) to the vessel's exterior. The technology is based on custom-designed and individually controlled LED RGBW lighting units. Wartsila Funa specializes in audio, video and lighting control design for large land-based public facilities (including theme parks, attractions, museums) and for cruise ships.

Ship's first Captain (Master) was Jukka Silvennoinen.

In late-September 2019, GHK (shipowner) sold Genting Dream (via sale-and-leaseback deal) to a consortium of three Chinese banks. The liner was sold for USD 900 million (~EUR 805 million) or 80% of its current market value (EUR 1,055 billion / USD 1,18 billion). According to a previous filing, as of June 30, 2019, the vessel's unaudited net asset value was ~USD 862,5 million (~EUR 777,3 M). The deal was finalized on January 15, 2020. The liner was immediately bareboat chartered (leased back to GHK) for 12 years, which means it will be purchased back by GHK in 2031.

The vessel's sale and leaseback transaction was with a 4-party consortium of Chinese financial companies - Bocomm Leasing (Bank of Communications Financial Leasing Co Ltd, 2007-founded), CMB Financial Leasing Co Ltd (part of China Merchants Bank), CCB Financial Leasing Corporation Ltd (part of China Construction Bank) and CDB Leasing (China Development Bank Financial Leasing Co Ltd). GHK's Financial advisor was DNB Markets (2003-founded, part of DNB Bank ASA / fka DnB NOR Bank).

Genting Dream refurbishments review

In January 2020, the ship was drydocked for 3 days at Sembcorp Marine Shipyard ( Singapore ) for general maintenance works and technical updates. During the drydock was installed a new dual water hybrid scrubber (exhaust gas cleaning system, supplied by Valmet) and 2 new overboard discharge valves (for the Valmet scrubbers). Maintenance works also included hull cleaning, swimming pools modifications (for reducing the vessel's draft/draught) and equipment tests - conducted by specialists from the companies Wartsila (engines), ABB (propulsion system) and DNV GL (classification society). Refurbishment works / new flooring received the World Buffet (Lido restaurant).

Genting Dream was last drydock refurbished in 2023 (February 17 - March 1) at Singapore's Sembcorp Shipyard. The drydocking was mainly for regular maintenance (technical and class works).

Itineraries 2017-2018

Genting Dream is departing from Singapore between December 3 (2017) and March 25 (2018), operating on the following itinerary routes:

• 2-Night Weekend Cruise (Every Friday)
• 5-Night Singapore-Kuala Lumpur-Penang-Phuket Cruise (Every Sunday on Odd Week)
• 5-Night Singapore-Surabaya-North Bali Cruise (Every Sunday on Even Week)
• 12-Night B2B cruise (back-to-back) combining the above 3 itineraries with the alternative of a land hotel instead of the weekend cruise.

In September 2017, CLIA Australasia (abbrev "Cruise Lines International Association") held its annual "Masters Conference 2017" onboard Genting Dream. The conference sessions were lead by Scott Koepf (motivational speaker) and were focused on the cruise industry's trends and how travel consultants can benefit from the sector’s growth. The annual event is open to consultants with "CLIA Ambassador" level accreditation and employed by CLIA member travel agencies. Masters Conference 2017 commenced in Hong Kong (China) on September 16. All booked travel agents enjoyed 1-night pre-cruise accommodation before boarding the ship for a 5-night cruise to Japan visiting Naha (Okinawa Island) and Miyakojima . Participation fees were included in cruise prices (USD 1880 pp double occupancy/airfare excluded).

Genting Dream Cruise The Palace Exclusive Facilities

Genting dream palace exclusive facilities.

Resorts World Cruises’ Genting Dream has a private area for The Palace guests featuring a ship-within-a-ship concept. On top of the already many facilities, activities, and entertainment options on board for everyone, Palace guests also get to enjoy cruising in an exclusive private area for Palace guests only. Here are the exclusive Palace facilities on board Resorts World Cruises’ Genting Dream.

Genting Dream Cruise Deck Plans

Deck = Level/Floor FWD = Forward (Front) MID = Midship (Middle) AFT = Aft (Back)

The Palace exclusive facilities are congregated around the top forward part of the Genting Dream ship.

Palace Priority Check-In

Palace guests have access to the priority check-in counter at Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore for a fast-track check-in all the way to immigration. Ground staff will usher Palace guests past the normal security and check-in queues , and Palace guests can wait in the lounge while their check-in process is sorted out by the ground staff.

Palace Restaurant, Deck 17 FWD

Palace guests get to dine in the exclusive Palace Restaurant located at Deck 17 FWD.

Food in the Palace Restaurant is served in a semi-buffet style with appetisers and desserts laid around the on the buffet counters and main course orders taken by waiters and butlers.

Palace Pool & Sun Deck, Deck 18 FWD

Palace guests also have access to a private pool towards the front of the ship.

Right up front, there are also 2 Jacuzzis which offer a great view out when the ship is moving.

Palace Gym, Deck 18 FWD

There is also a private gym for Palace guests, with machines looking out to the sea.

Palace Spa, Deck 18 FWD

The Palace Spa with steam and sauna rooms are free of charge for Palace guests.

Nevertheless, this part of The Palace is the same as World Dream, so here are some pictures from my previous cruise on World Dream instead.

Genting Club

Genting Club is a high-limit casino reserved for Resorts World At Sea Gold members and above only. The Palace guests can play here too as it is located within The Palace via a set of stairs or The Palace Private Elevator.

Inclusive (Free) Specialty Restaurant Menus

While there are many other specialty restaurants around Genting Dream that requires additional charges, The Palace guests get to eat at specialty restaurants for free with specially-curated Palace set menus available. Check with your butler for more details.

The Palace offers an elevated cruising experience that is private, exclusive, and personalized with various facilities for the exclusive use of The Palace guests only, and a butler who takes care of your entire cruise experience. The quality of food you’ll get on Genting Dream is also vastly different from Balcony and below since premium ingredients are used in the Palace Restaurant and the specialty restaurants around the ship are also part of your dining entitlements.

This cruise was kindly sponsored by Resorts World Cruises.
