What’s New on Genting Dream — Resorts World Cruises Review
Find out what’s new and what’s back on board the new Resorts World Cruises’ Genting Dream!
After having a whale of a time on Dream Cruises’ cruise to nowhere , we were pretty bummed when it ceased operations in March 2022 . Thankfully, it has returned under a new name — Resorts World Cruises !
To find out what’s new and what’s back, we hopped on its inaugural cruise on 15 June 2022. So here’s a preview of what to expect on Genting Dream 🚢.

Before you set sail, here are some pre-boarding essentials to take note of:
1) Mandatory online check-in — closes 24 hours before sailing 2) Take a supervised or tele-supervised ART test and present a negative result — earliest one day prior to sailing 3) Fill up a pre-boarding health questionnaire — on the day of sailing 4) Collect your cruise key card — on the day of sailing 5) Check-in via SafeEntry on the TraceTogether app or token — before boarding the ship
What’s New on Genting Dream
This may be the same ship under Dream Cruises but we’ve sussed out the new stuff.
1) Immersive Activities with Performers
This was one thing I really loved about the cruise. Especially when I spotted my on-board dance instructor on the big stage performance just a couple of hours later!
The entertainment organisers wanted to create an immersive experience for guests to “dive” into, so guests could interact with the performers even when they were off stage.
An afterparty was held at the dance floor of Zouk Beach Club so the fun doesn’t end when the performance does.
Unfortunately, my dance instructor recognised us so we couldn’t escape the awkward dancing 😅 but at least we still had a great time!
2) Foam Party at Sea
For those who just want to party (but with an extra kick), here’s a brand new activity: foam party at sea!
Equipped with a giant foam spraying machine, gigantic floats, and water guns, we had a blast blowing foam at each other for two hours and imagining it was snow in hot, humid Singapore.
Don’t worry about the aftermath too. There will be towels provided to help you dry off before you head on to your next activity.
3) World’s First Internationally Halal-certified Kitchen on a Cruise
Genting Dream is not the first cruise ship to serve halal food, but it’s the first with an internationally halal-certified kitchen.
This is based on OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) and SMIIC (The Standards and Metrology Institute for Islamic Countries) standards. The cruise also holds a vegetarian certification by Global Vegetarian Certification Services.
We even went behind the scenes and discovered that there are dedicated timings and lifts to deliver the food.
From the way the food is prepared and delivered, to the way utensils are washed after — everything is segregated so there is no chance of cross-contamination at all!
While this doesn’t really affect me personally, it helps give my Muslim friends peace of mind when dining on a cruise 🙂.
On-board Activities
Most of the facilities and activities are similar to the previous Dream Cruises, so here’s a recap of what you can expect on this one.
Rain or shine, these are some activities that you can do: arcade, bowling, karaoke, t-shirt or tote bag painting workshops, and workout classes. But prepare to fork out some cash for certain activities.
For example, bowling costs S$10 per game and it’s S$22 to buy a t-shirt to paint on — but at least you’ll get to keep it! We also recommend booking slots for the karaoke room early in advance because demand is really high.
If you’re looking to save a few bucks, try the free workout classes instead! Choose from yoga to a couple of dance classes like funk line dancing, hip hop dance, Brazilian carnival dance, and traditional flamenco dance.
We didn’t have time to try them all so we went for the Brazilian carnival dance where we learned different types of dances like the salsa and samba. It’s a one-hour class so expect a lot of hip-shaking, spinning, and sweating. Remember to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated!
While we can’t splash around in the sea, we can definitely do so at the on-board waterslide park. There are six different slides to choose from — my personal favourite being the donut-shaped slide which opens up mid-way, allowing you a glimpse of the blue sky before diving back to darkness and into the water.
Besides the water slides, there are also pools and hot tubs for you to swim and “chill” in leisurely.
But if you don’t want to get wet, try the ziplines, rock climbing wall, high obstacle course, mini-golf, ping pong, or even giant chess.
You could even set up a friendly basketball match in the SportsPlex too.
Or dance and party your hearts out to popular hits played by DJs all through the night at Zouk Beach Club.
Bonus — Visit the Captain’s Bridge
Before covid hit, there were organised tours to the captain’s bridge — a control room where the captain and his crew navigate the ship.
But due to social distancing restrictions, the tours stopped and we don’t have that luxury anymore. So we were actually glad to discover this hidden gem on board to find out what it’s like!
Head up to deck 15 via the lift (forward lobby) and walk past Crystal Life fitness. Turn left and walk all the way to the end. You’ll find a small, hidden room with a clear view of the captain’s bridge, plus a really cool mini replica of the ship to admire!
Entertainment
Every day, a newsletter would be delivered to your cabin — with various show and programme schedules so you can plan your day to catch them all!
*Note: The timings are in local (SG) time.
One highlight not to be missed is definitely the Yin.Yang performance at the Zodiac Theatre. It blends eastern and western entertainment, featuring a world-class array of performances from balancing acts to contemporary dances.
I was deeply impressed by one performer in particular, Tong Shaohan, who wowed us with his unique double vocals — singing both female and male parts in a duet.
We were truly shocked, yet in awe when we found out this beautifully dressed lady who sang in a high-pitched voice turned out to be an extremely talented man.
*Pro-tip: Arrive earlier as doors close 10 minutes before showtime and seats are on a first-come, first-served basis.
Apart from the Yin.Yang show, we also had a sneak peek of Dream Boys (which isn’t new), but is set to make a comeback sometime in July.
Dining Experiences
On the Genting Dream, there are more than 20 dining options including restaurants, cafes and bars — not all are free though, so take note!
Inclusive Restaurants — Complimentary
These are the places where you can eat your fill without any charges.
As mentioned above, Genting Dream has an internationally halal-certified kitchen. However, it’s only limited to food items in The Lido restaurant.
But don’t fret because there are still plenty of cuisines to choose from, such as Western, Chinese, and even Jain — for vegetarians with a strict diet of not consuming any food produced underground (including potatoes and carrots).
For other non-halal options, there’s also the Dream Dining Room Lower and Upper which serve Western and Chinese menus respectively.
*Note: Check the daily newsletter for restaurant breakfast, lunch, and dinner timings. You’ll also be charged an extra S$15 for a second meal during the same meal period.
Specialty Restaurants — Charges Apply
The food might be more pricey (from S$60), but speaking from experience, it’s really worth it! During our time on the cruise, we tried two specialty restaurants: Umi Uma (Japanese teppanyaki ) and Bistro (Western).
We ordered the Emperor (steak and seafood) and Samurai (chicken and salmon) set from Umi Uma where the chef cooked our dishes before us. The meat was cooked perfectly and not chewy at all! The salmon also had a flavourful, buttery taste 😋.
At Bistro, we had a full four-course meal with a seafood salad appetiser, pumpkin soup, and a choice of seafood tower or braised beef cheeks, before ending it off with some sweet panna cotta!
Other dining places include Silk Road Chinese Restaurant, Hot Pot, Lido Outdoor Hotpot and Grill, and Crystal Life Cuisine.
*Pro-tip: Reserve in advance as restaurants can be fully booked during peak hours.
Cafes and Bars — Charges Apply
Besides restaurants, you can grab some light meals at cafes like Lobby Cafe and Blue Lagoon, or even cool down at Gelateria with some homemade gelato.
There are also various bars all around the cruise for alcohol-lovers — open all day till late. Check out Bar 360 for drinks and live music, Mixt for its innovative cocktails, or Tributes which has indoor and outdoor seating coupled with entertaining performances.
Accommodation
Genting Dream offers various room options, from balcony to oceanview staterooms and even palace suites.
Balcony Deluxe Stateroom
We stayed in a Balcony Deluxe Stateroom which consisted of a queen-sized bed, a large sofa, a bathroom, and of course, a balcony overlooking the sea. To be honest, I was really surprised by how spacious the room is.
We were also lucky to find a bathtub in our bathroom (apparently, not every room has it) and the dual-tap sink was way bigger than the one in my home.
But the best part of the room would have to be the balcony — where we got a gorgeous view of the sunrise.
Cost: From ~S$550/pax for three nights
Palace Suite
We didn’t have time to tour the Palace Suite but this is what it’ll look like:
It looks pretty similar to the Balcony Deluxe Stateroom, but the private balcony is twice as big! Staying in a palace suite also gives guests certain perks like access to exclusive restaurants and programmes, as well as a 24-hour butler service 😏.
Cost: From ~S$1,100/pax for three nights
Is Resorts World Cruises’ Genting Dream Worth Checking Out?
It’s been a very long time since I’ve been on a cruise (I’m talking about 10 years ago-long), so I was really excited to just hop onto a ship once again!
I was glad that the water slides still remained and I could have fun like a kid again without any reserve. Being older now, I could also appreciate the fine dining experience of a full-course meal and of course, drinking alcohol 🍷.
The halal-certified food also didn’t taste any different from usual and I stuffed myself with plenty of different options. The highlight of my cruise though was interacting with the performers when they weren’t on stage and discovering more about their culture.
Fun fact: Do you know why Brazilians dance so well? According to my Brazilian dance instructor, Gabrielle, most kids there start learning from 10 years old!
With Resorts World Cruises as a new cruise line, we now have more options to set sail from Singapore’s ports. Although we didn’t dock anywhere this time, the automatic time change when we were near Indonesia made us feel like we were overseas.
Starting 1 July, the cruise will also sail internationally to Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand! You can make your reservations online with prices starting from ~S$149 per person (book by 3 July 2022) 🤩.

Review of Resorts World Cruises Genting Dream Promotion Package on Klook
I have always wanted to try Genting Dream Cruises but my last attempt was unfortunately foiled by Olympia’s illness. When it subsequently filed for a winding-up application, I thought my hopes of ever sailing on it had sank to the abyss as well. After some shrewd corporate restructuring (depending on which side you are on), Dream Cruises returned under a new ownership structure and taken on the parent brand name of Resorts World. As I have been monitoring its cruise ticket prices for some time, I could immediately tell a good promotion if there is one. Acting decisively, I paid approx. an all-in price of S$320 per pax (including port charges and gratuities) for a 4-day 3-night cruise on a balcony stateroom over the Hari Raya Haji long weekend via the Klook platform. Considering that a cruise package is all inclusive (full-board), this is an attractive price that is much cheaper than a hotel staycation in Singapore. This is my review of Resorts World Cruises Genting Dream which also berthed at Port Dickson and Penang during my sailing.
1) Spanking new facilities that are under-utilised
First impression when I stepped foot on the cruise was how new it was. As shown in Diagram 1, the balcony cabin that I stayed in was clean and spacious while the toilet was of a comfortable size as well.
Diagram 1: Balcony stateroom in Genting Dream
Despite being modern facilities, they were strangely under-utilised throughout the cruise. I soon realised that this was because majority of the passengers were there for the casino instead. As a result, my family enjoyed the swimming pool, waterground slides, high ropes obstacle, gym and other facilities to our hearts’ content.

There was minimal need to queue in line or share the facilities with other users. This meant that Olympia could use the Little Dreamer’s Club up to the 2-hour daily limit (chargeable after 2 hours) even though it has a maximum capacity of 18 pax at any 1 time.
Diagram 3: Little Dreamers Club and Aerobic Exercise
Some of the complimentary classes offered had so little attendees it almost felt like a private class at times!
On the contrary, the casino was packed to the rafters with virtually every slot machine taken up during peak hours. Little wonder that the line to sign up for membership was insanely long.
2) Penang stopover
My family really enjoyed the half day spent at Penang. It could have been longer if not for observing the little’s one nap time. Unlike at Port Dickson the day before, Genting Dream called at Port Swettenham directly. This meant that we could disembark and board anytime without having to wait for scheduled tender boats.
Once on land, we avoided all the land tour packages and car rental services as they were severely overpriced. We got around Georgetown with Grab and each trip never cost more than RM15 even with wet weather surcharge! Like most tourists, we went on a food tour and sampled great local hawker fare such as chendol, oyster omelette etc. Of course, we returned to the cruise not only with our stomachs full but also hands full of local goodies and souvenirs.

As a tip for travelling during the Covid pandemic, you will save plenty of time by downloading and registering on the MySejahtera mobile app before departure.
What Can Be Improved
Apart from the positives, I also find that there are certainly areas for improvement for Resorts World Cruises.
1) Check in and Check Out process
We were issued a check-in time of 1pm and expected to check in at this time as I had already completed the online check-in. When we arrived at Marina Bay Cruise Centre promptly at 1pm, we were greeted by 3 long queues outside the departure hall. It didn’t help that passengers with later reporting times were also allowed to join the snaking queues.
We finally received our boarding pass and room keys after waiting for 45 minutes and thought that this marked the end of further waiting. To my disappointment, the operator made all the passengers wait inside the departure hall as the cruise was not ready for boarding. After an almost 2-hour ordeal, we finally reached our staterooms at 3pm.
Diagram 5: 2nd round of waiting inside the departure hall
Checking out was an equally cumbersome affair as the operator held everyone up in holding areas before progressively releasing the groups. I understand that this is to stagger the passengers and minimise bottlenecks. However, I felt that this was not completely necessary. Based on my experience cruising with Royal Caribbean , there is usually no congestion as most passengers would have their own preferred times to depart the ship between the 3 or 4-hour window after arrival time.
2) Too many activities/facilities require additional payment
I also found that there were way too many activities and facilities that required additional payment. For instance, I completely understand if a fee per game is levied to bowl in the dark as I imagine that this will be highly popular if it is made free of charge.
Diagram 6: $10 per player per game for bowling
However, I find it slightly off-putting when fees are being levied for exercise classes, dance parties and performances:
- $35 fee is charged for HIIT classes in the gym
- $20 entrance fee to Bollywood Blast Party
- Up to $80 VIP tickets for Dream Boys Performance.
Let’s not forget that these tickets were also heavily advertised throughout the cruise to ring up sales. I was not entirely convinced and did not part with my money to enjoy these paid attractions.
3) On-board entertainment
During our 4-day cruise, 2 complimentary shows were available at the Zodiac Theatre during our 4-day cruise:
Diagram 7: 2 complimentary performances/shows on Genting Dream
- 1) Yin. Yang- At best, this felt like watching (insert Country) Got Talent. At worst, this was a mishmash of disparate performances with no central theme running through it. Think acrobat, face-changing opera, Western pop dance etc.
- 2) Love Matters – This was really good and helped to salvage the previous night’s disappointment. Interaction was high, genuinely funny and audience was engaged and enrapt throughout.
I am optimistic that with time, Yin.Yang will be better because I have the nagging feeling that the show was hastily put together to accommodate whichever performers/artistes that decided to stay with the new ownership. Overall, I would rate the on-board entertainment a mixed bag.
I always feel that a big part of a cruise experience is about the food although this may not hold true for Genting Dream’s target audience. There are a few plus points when it comes to the food offering on Genting Dream.
Diagram 8: Lido Buffet and Dream Dining Room Upper (Chinese tze char)
The Lido is a certified Halal international restaurant which makes Genting Dream a viable option for Muslim travellers. Overall, the Malay and Indian food offered here would be the better cuisines, but I would suggest skipping the Western and dessert sections. Outside of meal times, The Lido also serve snacks but these are largely plain congee or processed food that are deep fried.
Genting Dream whip up good Chinese food at the Dream Dining Room Upper. In the mornings, I also enjoyed dim sum with hot tea. Even though this is a sit-down concept, feel free to order second helpings if the initial round of food is not sufficient.
Diagram 9: Dream Dining Room Lower (Western)
Western food is offered at Dream Dining Room Lower and there’s nothing much to shout about. Let’s just say that I have had better omelette at army cookhouse.
Klook Promotion
Bookings for Resorts World Cruises are currently powered on Klook’s platform where the full itinerary for the particular date is available for viewing. My experience redeeming the vouchers was relatively straightforward.
A week before travelling, Klook reminded me to perform online check in . I also arranged for ART tests via the platform. The only negative was that cabin staterooms were randomly allocated. Since I had booked 2 staterooms for my family of 4, I contacted Resorts World Cruises after booking to request for them to be adjacent or at least on the same deck.
Diagram 10: Example of an ongoing Resorts World Cruises promotion on Klook (Source: Klook)
Besides taking advantage of the promotion on Klook, I could also triple-stack the following promotions to reduce my purchase price further:
- Take advantage of ongoing promotion codes – eg: Get $25 off with GrabPay
- Activate Shopback to receive 3% cashback. Cashback is enhanced during special dates such as 7.7 sale
- Offset purchase price with existing Klook coins
As a result, I paid an all-in discounted price of $320 per pax for 3 nights of sailing which I consider as a fantastic deal given the food and entertainment that I had on the seacation.
If you miss the klook promotion, you can also enjoy free upgrade from Oceanview to Balcony stateroom and an additional $100 off by paying with any UOB card ( UOB One Card , UOB Evol Card , UOB Absolute Cashback Card )
Finally, do not forget to purchase travel insurance especially now that the cruises will port in other countries. I purchased Starr Travel Insurance Cruise to Nowhere from SingSaver to enjoy $10 PayNow Rewards for premium value below $99.
After this review, I have now officially sailed on Quantum of the Seas , Spectrum of the Seas and Genting Dream to destinations that ranged from “Nowhere” to Malaysia. That should complete the grand slam 😀

(Genting Dream Cruise) 14 Reasons You Should Board This Cruise Ship
Have you been on the Genting Dream cruise? If you have not, here is a brief introduction to the brand new elevated experience, where you can enjoy sailing on the 19 floors cruise ship!
Genting Dream is one of the 3 cruise tours offered in the Dream Cruises line by Resorts World Cruises of Genting Group. The others are *World Dream and Explorer Dream. This cruise ship with the concept of “A Resort Cruising at Sea'', measures 335m in length and 40m in width. With up to 18 decks and lots of food and fun activities, you can indulge in all the amenities and comfort while at sea!
*Update: World Dream ceased operation on 2 March 2022 and Explorer Dream was renamed Resorts World One
However, some of the entertainment and services here are not included in the all-inclusive offerings and require extra charges. So make sure to fatten up your wallet before coming. Without further ado, let’s dive into the 14 reasons you should board the Genting Dream.
Super Huge
The Genting Dream cruise ship can accommodate up to 3,352 passengers (lower berth) with 1,674 staterooms. During the day, adrenaline junkies can work out on the decks while kids can play at the playground. At 🌛night, guests can watch performances or up their game by betting on bingo games.
Comfy Rooms
Surprisingly, the smallest rooms on the Genting Dream are not as small as many of us would expect (imagine Jack’s room on the Titanic) from a cruise ship. They are comfortable enough for you to move around and stretch out and can accommodate up to 4 guests at a time. Plus, each room on the cruise comes with a private toilet and shower!
There are also light refreshments in the form of sachets like ☕coffee and 🍵tea, just in case you are too lazy to go out for a drink. 2 bottles of mineral water are also provided and will be replenished each day for free (we just love the word “free” don’t we?)
On top of that, the pillows and blankets will give you a hard time 😴waking up. They are very comfy, and if you have stayed in any of the Genting Group hotels before, you’ll know. The same pillows and beddings are also used in the Genting Dream.
Cashless Everywhere!
Some of the services, activities and facilities on the Genting Dream are not included in your cruise fee, and you'll have to pay on the cruise ship itself. One good thing is that you can pay without 💵 cash! All you need is a card, and you can have access to all facilities on the Genting Dream! This card is printed with your name and acts as your ID card.
You’ll have to carry it with you all the time (except when in your room) so that you can tap to access the services, activities and facilities on the cruise ship. You can keep track of how much you’ve spent on the 📺small tv in the room and then pay with your credit/debit card by scanning the QR code provided. Alternatively, you can make your payment at the reception on the 6th floor, but it is pretty obvious which is more convenient.
Halal Certified Food
Genting Dream is the first in the world to be OIC/SMIIC standard 🧕 halal-friendly certified cruise. The Lido provides an extensive range of international cuisines, and all of them are halal. You can enjoy everything served here as much as you want in a single meal period, for free! This buffet spread also has a vegetarian section for all the plant eaters to enjoy.
Never-Ending Eating
One thing about eating all these free meals on Genting Dream is that you can only eat at 1 restaurant per meal period. So let’s say you ate at The Lido for lunch, you can’t eat at another free-to-eat restaurant for lunch (unless you pay, of course). You’ll have to wait until it’s dinner time for that.
If you get hungry in between the main meals but don’t want to pay to eat at the specialty restaurants, the Lido Outdoor Snack Corner is such a lifesaver! It is a 24-hour free-flow station with snacks like samosa, 🍟french fries, sausage and fried bee hoon! There are even drinks like 🍵tea, ☕coffee and 🧃juices, in case you want to sip on something other than the mineral water in your room.
Of course, not to forget the non-halal restaurants for all the haram eaters non-muslims. Free-to-eat meals can be found at the Dream Dining. The Dream Dining Room(upper) is dedicated to serving Chinese set meals, whereas the Dream Dining (lower) serves semi-buffet western meals.
Pro-Tip: Come and queue early to get the sea view table! It is open 10 mins earlier than the allocated time.
Moving Casino on The Sea
Genting Dream is literally a moving 🎲casino on the sea! If you are a kaki judi, you are welcome to test your fortune with some games of bingo, pull some 🎰slot machines or play some 🀄mahjong. As you are not spending any 💸physical money, make sure to spend your money wisely and don’t get too greedy!
Family-Friendly Pool & Water Slides
On a hot 🌞sunny day, you can swim in the pool to cool off. There are shallow pool areas where 👧👦 kids can have a fun time 💦splashing at each other too! For the 👱♂️👱♀️young uns who prefer something more extreme than mere swimming and dipping in the pool, you guys can try out the water slides. There are 6 water slides with different levels of extremity on the cruise depending on how adventurous you are.
On the other hand, the 🧓 elderly can relax in the jacuzzi while watching the young people playing at the pool. Are these free? Yes! On Genting Dream, there are 4 jacuzzis around the main pool on Deck 16 MID and 2 jacuzzis at Zouk Beach Club on Deck 17 AFT.
However, just like any other outdoor activities on the Genting Dream, the pool and water slides are subject to ☔ weather changes. So if you are unable to enjoy these activities, read on to find out what other things you can do on this cruise.
Happy Kids Happy Parents
Besides the shallow pool area, kids can also spend time bouncing here and there at the bouncy playground on Genting Dream. Kids the age of 2 to 12 can get themselves busy at the Little Dreamers Club. There are lots of toys for 🧒kids to play with while parents can enjoy the beautiful sea view. This place is free but only for the first 2 hours. Are your kids able to resist the temptation of staying within 2 hours?
Keep-Fit Journey Sailing Smooth
There are lots of activities here to help you keep 💪fit and healthy while on the Genting Dream cruise. You can pay for professional fitness classes like pilates, HIIT (step), suspension training, etc or get active for free with activities like jogging (there is a jogging track around the cruise), ⛳mini golf, 🧗♀️rock climbing (wall) and many more. Again, like any other outdoor activities, some of them are subject to weather changes.
Pro-Tip: Make sure to check the itinerary to see what programs are available for the day.
Endless Activities Throughout The Day
If you are not a very active person and would like to join some less strenuous activities on the cruise, there is an arcade as well as Nintendo Switch games, workshops, family show time and more. Remember to check the itinerary for the time slot of your desired activities and register in advance.
Spend a Few Hours on The Land
Come on! You are not Davy Jones! Of course, you can enjoy beautiful sights and eat good food outside of the sea. It all depends on which tour you book. The cruise ship will dock at the designated jetty, and off you go! You are free to explore the towns, as long as you return within the given ⌚time. If not, we’re afraid that you’ll have to say 👋bye-bye to the Genting Dream.
If you plan to explore a town that is not in the country you came from, you’ll have to bring along your passport and go through the 🛃custom security check before you can leave the 🚢cruise.
At night, you can head to the Zouk Beach Club and enjoy the iconic Zouk’s Foam Party! You can 🕺 dance crazily to the funky music in a pool of foam. There will also be ice cream and drinks for everyone to enjoy. Make sure to register in advance.
The Night is Still Early
Why sleep when there are so many activities that can keep you awake on the cruise? Besides the Zouk Beach Club, there are also 💃dance lessons, 🎤karaoke, 🎳ten-pin bowling, live shows and many more. If you want to just sit around and relax, there is an outdoor cinema on deck 17 AFT, and it’s free!
If you want to up the game to make it more haram, you can head to one of the m any bars and lounges and order your favourite 🍹cocktail or 🍺beer. Not only that, if you are someone who has an alcohol reservoir in the stomach, you might want to consider taking one of the bottomless beverage packages.
Shop Til You Drop
There are many shops on Genting Dream offering high-end fashion and quality food & supplements from overseas. Look out for discounts on goods on your itinerary. You’ll not want to miss out on the good deals and value buys.
Who says you can’t be out in the sea during the monsoon season? Genting Dream is one of your best options to do so. The cruise is so huge that you won’t feel much 🤢 turbulence. In fact, many people reportedly felt no difference with being on land. We hope that these 14 reasons you should board on the Genting Dream are enough to make you want to jump on the cruise right away!

Genting Dream Cruise Balcony Deluxe Stateroom Review (With Deluxe Shower)
Genting dream balcony deluxe stateroom review (with deluxe shower).
The Balcony Deluxe Stateroom on Resorts World Cruises’ Genting Dream is the highest class of balcony accommodation available on board, but before the Palace suites. For this trip, I had the privilege to try out the Balcony Deluxe Stateroom which includes a deluxe shower.
The corridor along the Genting Dream for the staterooms. Most balcony staterooms are located between Decks 9 to 13.
My room is at 9152.
Insert the stateroom card into the slot by the door to activate the power supply.
Genting Dream Balcony Deluxe Stateroom
The interior of the Balcony Deluxe Stateroom on board Genting Dream. Genting Dream’s Balcony Deluxe Staterooms are at least 22 square meters big laid out elongated from the corridor to the balcony.
The Queen-sized bed in the room is convertible to form a twin bed. This is done by shifting the sofa-size bed towards the bulkhead and changing the side table to be placed between each single bed.
The sofa doubles up as a third single bed for triple-sharing. Some Balcony Deluxe Staterooms also have drop-down Pullman beds for quad-sharing.
The television plays the safety video on repeat when I first walked in to the cabin.
The TV remote is placed by the bed side.
1 UK 3-pin power socket and 2 USB power sockets are available on each side of the Queen-sized bed.
A wardrobe is located on the other size of the Queen-sized bed.
An in-room safe is available inside the wardrobe, along with extra bedding for the sofa bed.
Bathrobes are also placed inside the wardrobe.
Sufficient hangers are available inside the wardrobe for a long cruise.
There is a table across from the sofa where most room amenities are.
A UK 3-pin power socket and a New Zealand 3-flat-pin (in a V-shape and grounding pin) are available on the table.
Coffee and tea making facilities are provided, along with 2 bottles of mineral water. Additional bottles of mineral water are chargeable, but remember that the tap water in the cabin is drinkable, so just refill it from there.
Lists of TV channels, restaurants, and in-room dining are placed on the table.
A minibar is provided below the table.
A seat is also available below the table, along with a rubbish bin and hair dryer.
The balcony consists of two seats with a side table. Smoking is permitted on the balcony , but remember to close the doors.
Note that the cabin air-conditioning automatically switches off when you open the balcony door. You have to switch the aircon back on again after you return to the cabin from the balcony.
Balcony Deluxe Stateroom Toilet and Shower
The attached toilet in the Balcony Deluxe Stateroom is very spacious.
The toilet bowl is placed on the side, offering good space all around.
A double sink is provided in the Balcony Deluxe Stateroom toilet.
Toothbrush kits are provided by default, with additional amenities such as combs, shavers, shower caps, and sewing kits available by calling housekeeping.
Generic 3-in-1 soap and glasses are provided at the side of the double sink.
The deluxe shower provided in the Balcony Deluxe Stateroom is about 2.5 times bigger than the regular Balcony Stateroom.
A deluxe standing shower set is mounted in the Balcony Deluxe Stateroom shower with a bigger shower head from above and 6 nozzles spraying water straight out from the wall. 5 combination of sprays are available.
As I was on board Genting Dream’s first cruise to Phuket under Resorts World Cruises, I was presented with souvenirs from Resorts World Cruises and Tourism Authority of Thailand Singapore Office.
A tote bag, folder, and some information brochures were given by Resorts World Cruises.
A foldable umbrella, foldable tote bag, towel, and luggage tag are given by Tourism Authority of Thailand Singapore Office.
The Balcony Deluxe Stateroom on Genting Dream is sufficiently spacious with fresh air from the sea while sailing to a destination – a refreshing change to the new new normal as compared with my previous cruises in 2021 to nowhere on board World Dream during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This cruise was kindly sponsored by Resorts World Cruises.

Genting Dream’s The Palace
Described as a luxury ship-within-a-ship and a private club for travellers who appreciate the best things in life, The Palace all-suite enclave in Resorts World Cruises' Genting Dream truly delivers on fuss-free holidays
What Taking a cruise holiday is one of the most fuss-free ways of vacationing, as one has the benefit of an entire integrated resort moving along together from one destination to the next. A cruise guest has all the dining and recreation they could ever want conveniently located at his doorstep, and can elevate the experience with various packages.
Cruising as a guest of The Palace, however, takes fuss-free holidays to a whole different level. There is no need to consider what adds-on are necessary because the Palace guest gets them all, from free high-speed Wi-Fi for up to two devices and priority show arrangements, to complimentary dining at any of Genting Dream ’s six specialty restaurants as well as free-flow tea, coffee and juices all day, every day within the luxurious and exclusive cocoon that is The Palace enclave.
In keeping its promise of luxurious hospitality, The Palace speeds guests through check-in at the cruise terminal. A staff will handle the procedure while guests take a short rest in a lounge where coffee and tea are served.
Once on board, a butler is assigned to guests booked into every suite, and mine was Anya. She whisked me and my family off to the Palace Restaurant to make the most of the remaining hour of lunch service, while she brought our bags to our suite.
Later, she joined us to find out what we hoped to do over our two-night cruise, and recommended various restaurants, activities and shows that were suitable for us. As I was travelling with my little boys, Anya marked out a variety of attractions that will charm the young ones and proceeded to book and plan our itinerary on our behalf.
A handwritten programme, which packed in front-row seats at Yin.Yang theatre show (stunning, with a nice surprise at the end), art & craft workshops at the lobby deck (so fun), meals at specialty restaurants we were keen on (all delicious), and family karaoke (in a private room so nobody discovered how tone-deaf we were), was deposited in our room when we got back from lunch.
For our remaining time onboard, Anya was always present to say hello, find out how we were doing, and to escort us to our next programme. Should we need help, Anya was just a phone call away, no matter the time of day.
Facilities The Palace is truly an exclusive space that requires the right key card for access. Occupying the forward section of Genting Dream , The Palace offers a dedicated elevator to bring guests through decks 13 to 18 where all the private facilities and Palace accommodation are.
Palace guests have their own pool, Jacuzzis, sun deck and poolside café on deck 18. This is a wide open space dressed in rattan, white and beige and with lounge and pop music playing overhead. The vibe here is laid back and elegant, and lies in contrast to the boisterous party scene over at the public pool and sun deck.
Also exclusive to Palace guests is the Palace Restaurant on deck 17 where main meals, afternoon tea and supper are served every day of sailing; Genting Club on deck 16; the Palace Spa, gym and fitness studio on deck 18; and complimentary fitness classes led by a professional trainer at Crystal Life Fitness on deck 15.
With limited access, these facilities were often serene and partially occupied throughout our cruise. In fact, we had the pool, gym and fitness studio all to ourselves most of the time.
The only crowd I came across within The Palace confines was in the afternoon at the Palace Restaurant, when it was time for Afternoon Tea – a complimentary F&B treat that is very popular with The Palace regulars, according to Anya.
Room We had the Palace Suite – the lead in room category for The Palace.
The spacious unit comes with a queen bed with quality linen, sofa bed that sleeps two, walk-in wardrobe, pantry with premium coffee-making facilities and a minibar stocked with complimentary drinks and snacks the first round, roomy bathroom with his-and-her basins, bath and shower, and balcony with a pair of sun loungers.
The young ones were particularly impressed with the selection of animated movies on TV.
Verdict As the default trip planner of the family, I was unused to leaving someone else to organise our programme on board. However, The Palace’s 24-hour butler service was a luxurious entitlement I could get used to. I loved having the Wi-Fi, specialty dining and beverage add-ons as a default, which saved me from having to purchase them piece-meal. I loved even more the serenity and privacy offered by The Palace’s exclusive facilities. I would gladly return to The Palace for a rejuvenating me-time getaway.

RESORTS WORLD ONE CRUISE: REVIEW AND GUIDE
by thepinay solobackpacker | Jul 26, 2023 | Cruise Guide , Hong Kong , TAIWAN | 0 comments
Detailed cruise guide blog and review of Resorts World One cruise package and cruise ship.
Over a decade of traveling has taught me to appreciate various kinds of traveling styles. And one of my personal favorites is going on a cruise. Recently, I experienced Resorts World One 3 day 2 night cruise from Hong Kong to Taiwan. And the question I often get is, is cruising worth it?
The thing about cruising is, you can enjoy your vacation even before reaching your destination. And it can be enjoyed by tourists of all ages, whether you are traveling with your family, friends, or partner. It is like staying on a floating resort that strives to satisfy your every wish and whim. You have so much to experience onboard like shopping, poolside activities, thrilling waterslides, top-notch musical performances, Broadway-style shows, poolside activities, spa, exciting games, lively arcades, adventure activities, seminars, workshops, and internationally inspired dining options, among others. It is non-stop fun from morning to night.
Cruising also gives you the opportunity to explore underrated tourist attractions that you may never have heard of. You can join immersive shore excursions once you hop off the ship at selected ports.
And of course, while sailing, you can enjoy the ocean views from dusk to dawn. If you consider the cruise package that you are getting – the stateroom , dining, entertainment, pool, and other activities are already included in the price, you will find that cruising is reasonably priced.
TRAVEL BLOG CONTENTS

PRE-TRIP PREPARATION
Travel documents.
- Passport and Passport Bio Page Photocopy – Prepare your passport and photocopy of the bio page. Make sure that your passport has 6 months validity from the end of your cruise date, with at least 2 blank pages for your entry and exit stamp.
- Visa – Ensure that you have the appropriate visa. But for Philippine Passport Holders we have visa-free entry to Hong Kong and Taiwan. And both countries are now open to tourists regardless of your vaccination status.
- E-Travel Document – If you’re flying from the Philippines, you are required to register and fill out the form at etravel.gov.ph You need to do this before you fly overseas travel and before you fly back to the Philippines.
- Vaccination Certificate – I brought my LGU vaccination certificates, but no one asked for it. Bring your vaccination certificate, vax cert, or the yellow vaccination passport in case the Immigration in the Philippines or staff at the airline check-in counter asks for it. However, Resort World Cruises One is open to all passengers regardless of their vaccination status. But I would highly encourage that you get vaccinated since you will mingle with tons of other tourists from all over onboard.
- Copy of Flights, Cruise Booking, and Cruise Itinerary – You must secure a copy of these for Immigration purposes. You can print it or save a digital copy in case the Immigration Officials ask for it.
Important: If you are traveling with a child but you are not the legal guardian, or you are traveling with a child that has a different family name from the parents, or a minor illegitimate child is traveling with the biological father only, please refer to required travel clearance for Filipino Minors HERE .
PACKING TIPS
what to bring.
Pack like you would for a resort vacation. Dress comfortably , but also consider the season/climate of your destination. Bring at least one formal or semi-formal outfit for formal dining and watching the shows.
- Bring swimwear if you plan on swimming in the pool.
- Bring running shoes if you plan to use the gym. Bring trekking shoes if you are joining the shore excursion that involves hiking.
- Bring sunblock, sunglasses, and hats to protect yourself from the sun.
- Bring cash (Hong Kong and Taiwan Dollars). While they accept Philippine Peso onboard, they must convert it first to Hong Kong Dollars before converting to Taiwan Dollars. It is best to bring HKD and Taiwan Dollar to avoid more conversion charges. I did not see any ATM on board, so make sure you stack up cash (HKD or Taiwan Dollars) before boarding the ship. You can withdraw HKD at Hong Kong Airport ATMs.
- Bring Water Flask. This will come in handy if you want to refill and bring juice from The Lido to your room or during your shore excursion.
WHAT NOT TO BRING
There are prohibited items on board, and they are strict about it. They will seize the item and keep it in the safe. However, you can still claim and collect it after the cruise.
- Extension wires – You are not supposed to bring this on board. You are only allowed to use the sockets in your stateroom/cabin.
- Vape/E-cigarettes – Only regular cigarettes are allowed onboard. Use the designated smoking areas.
- Drone – While my drone was able to go through security without being confiscated. I know that flying it while onboard is prohibited, whether cruising or even if the ship is docked. Drone flying is allowed in Hong Kong, but Taiwan currently has a NO DRONE policy.
- Fruits and other Raw Food – You’re not allowed to transport fruits, vegetables, or raw food to another country as they may carry foreign insects that may destroy the crops of the place you are visiting. This will be confiscated at the airport or port of entry.
CHECK-IN PROCEDURE
Resorts World One Cruise ship homeport is Kai Tak Cruise Terminal in Hong Kong. This is where you will board the ship. So, yes, you must fly to Hong Kong from the Philippines or wherever country you are from. Then, you can proceed to Kai Tak Cruise Terminal along Victoria Harbor. You can go there by taxi, Grab, or bus.
It is advisable to arrive there an hour or so before your scheduled trip, as you must line up and go through Immigration and Security. Ensure you have all the travel documents with you for the check-in procedure.
Upon arriving at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, proceed to the check-in counters. The check-in procedure is like checking-in at the airport. You have the option to check-in your bags for free. Your bags will be sent directly to your staterooms. Make sure to bring your travel essentials with you as the luggage may arrive a few hours later.
Kai Tak Cruise Terminal
IMMIGRATION AND SECURITY
After cruise check-in, proceed to security and Hong Kong Immigration for your exit stamp. Present your passport and your cruise ticket and itinerary if asked. Remember, no photo or video taking in this area in case you are documenting your cruise trip. Stop recording, keep your camera.
STATEROOM CARD
After clearing Security and Immigration, you need to go through the Cruise Boarding Pass . You need to provide your passport and copy of the cruise ticket to claim your stateroom card . This card contains your name, your stateroom number and deck number, emergency assembly station, embarkation date, and vessel name.
The stateroom card is essential to enjoy your cruise. This serves as your access card to your stateroom and your credit card inside the cruise ship. Everything you buy or consume that is not included in the cruise package will be charged to your stateroom card. And you can settle the charges at the end of your cruise trip (before disembarking the ship) with cash or credit card. So, never misplace your stateroom card, it is your lifeline inside the cruise ship. If in case you lose it, proceed to reception on Deck 7 and have it cancelled and replaced right away. As anyone who has access to it can charge your card.
BOARDING THE CRUISE SHIP
After claiming your stateroom card, you need to pass through the x-ray procedure before boarding the ship. Then, once cleared, you can board the ship. There are 2 lines for boarding: the Palace Guest Line and the line for the rest of the passengers. Tap your stateroom card to the electronic device. Then the staff will get your passport, this is a standard procedure. Make sure you have the photocopy of your passport bio page with it. Resorts World One cruise ship will keep your passport during the sailing period, you can get it back after the cruise, before disembarkation. But every time you get off the ship for your Onshore Cruise, you will be handed the photocopy of your passport biopage. Check to make sure it has an exit or entry stamp on it. You will show this to the staff and Immigration Officers upon leaving the ship for the day tour.
Proceed to your stateroom and use the access card to open it. Check if your luggage is already outside your door. If not, wait for a few more minutes before it gets delivered.
WI-FI/INTERNET
But what about Wi-Fi? How do you stay online while on a cruise? Do not fret as Resorts World Cruises boast of satellite Wi-Fi connection where you can connect from 1-4 devices. You can choose between standard and premium rates. And standard rate starts at HKD 118 (₱826). We were able to use this during our 3 days 2 nights cruise with Resorts World Cruise One, and I must say the connection was reliable.
RESORTS WORLD ONE CRUISE SHIP
Measuring 268 meters in length and 32 meters wide with 13 decks. This massive, fine-looking cruise ship was manufactured by Meyer Weft at Papenburg, Germany. Resorts World Cruises One was designed to accommodate the growing Asian cruise market. This ship can billet up to 1,856 passengers in its 928 staterooms.
Resorts World One
STATEROOMS/CABIN
There are various kinds of staterooms (cabins) inside the cruise ship, which are located at Deck 4 to 11.
- Balcony Staterooms
- Oceanview Staterooms
- Interior Staterooms
- Palace Villa
- Palace Penthouse
- Palace Deluxe Suite
- Palace Suite
OCEANVIEW STATEROOMS
We stayed at the Oceanview Staterooms during our cruise. It is a decently sized room, around 13 square meters with 2 comfortable single beds. The cream wall adorned with minimalist wallpaper and the carpeted floor induced a chic feel. There is a double USB port at the bedside, which is immensely helpful for charging our phones and camera batteries.
Although it does not have a balcony, the sea view with morning light can put you in a good mood when you wake up each morning. There is a small sofa perfect for curling up for a good read or while browsing your phone. There is also a flat panel TV attached to the wall with satellite programs.
Resorts World One Ocean Stateroom
Our stateroom is provided with bottled mineral water daily. There is also a kettle and complimentary coffee and tea.
Storage was carefully planned inside the Oceanview staterooms. Under the bed, there is enough room to store our luggage. There is a multi-shelved wardrobe to hang our clothes and drawers too to keep our essentials. The wardrobe is conveniently located just outside the bathroom. It is equipped with a small safe to keep our valuables.
The bathroom may be compact, but it was also carefully planned to give you space to move around. There is a walk-in shower supplied with shampoo and body wash on a dispenser. Toiletries such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and cotton buds are provided too.
THE PALACE AT RESORTS WORLD ONE
The Palace is like a luxury ship within the ship. It is an all-suite concept where palace guests have 24-hour butler concierge service. It is meant for those who have more money to spend during the cruise.
Palace Guest enjoy priority check-in, private lounge, exclusive access to The Palace, priority access to Production Shows, selected exclusive Kids programs for children between 2-12 years old, set meal entitlements at designated specialty dining restaurants, Happy Hour with complimentary drinks, standard Wi-Fi package throughout the cruise, and more.
Resorts World Cruises has 17 restaurants and bars. And three of them are inclusive restaurants, meaning, it’s part of your cruise package, so you can dine there for free. The rest are exclusive restaurants, not free, you will be charged once you dine there.
RESORTS WORLD ONE INCLUSIVE RESTAURANTS AND BARS
Unlike the cruise ships I tried before where you are allowed to eat multiple times in a day at inclusive restaurants and bars, at Resorts World One, you can only dine once every mealtime at inclusive restaurants. For example, you already dined at The Lido for lunch, if you eat lunch again at Dream Dining Room or Pavillion, you will be charged. Most restaurants are available for dinner until 9:00 PM only.
Here are the restaurants that you can try for free once every meal during your cruise with Resorts World One.

- LITTLE DREAMER’S CLUB (Deck 13)
The Boutiques
While on board, you can browse The Boutiques at Deck 7 and 8. They sell authentic branded bags, perfume, watches, and jewelry, among others. What I like about shopping on cruise ships is that the products are tax and duty free.
There is also a gym on Deck 12 if you want to burn the calories from eating all day. They even have a spa if you want to rejuvenate.
Your kids will be able to enjoy here as well as they the Little Dreamer’s Club at Deck 13 to keep them entertained. It’s free for 2 hours.
Adults can have fun and play games at Resorts World One cruise ship too! The Zone at Deck 12 is where you can play console games and board games, whereas the ESC Experience Lab is where you will get to play arcade games.
ENTERTAINMENT

- PREMIUM ROOM (Deck 7)

But if you are into the serious type of gaming, check out the Genting Club , RW @Sea , Premium Room , and International Room . You can also play Bingo at the Grand Piazza – the ship’s activity venue at Deck 7.
Resorts World One is loaded with onboard entertainment, you will get to enjoy the nightly theater shows at the Zodiac Theater starting at 7:00 PM, 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM. They have Broadway-style productions and comedy shows. Be mesmerized by talented singers, musicians, and dancers performing during the shows. You can walk in, no reservation required, since they are on a first come first serve basis. And these shows are for free, part of your cruise package.
The Zodiac Theater
OUTDOOR FACILITIES
- BOARDWALK (Deck 7)
- PARTHENON POOL (Deck 12)
- SPORTS PLEX (Deck 12)
- CAESAR’S SLIDE (Deck 12)
- JOGGING TRACK (Deck 13)
If you want to savor fresh air, you can head to the Jogging Track at Deck 13, where you can do early morning jogging, running, or walking. They also have a Sports Plex , where you can play basketball. They open from 10:00 AM until 8:00 PM.
Parthenon Pool
And of course, the most popular outdoor facilities of Resorts World One is the Parthenon Pool where guests can swim at its Greek-themed pool. They can be crowded though, so be early. It is open from 8:00 AM until 10:00 PM. You should see its pastel colors at night, so pleasing to the eye. Also, do not miss Caesar’s Slide , a fun waterslide beside the Parthenon Pool.
RESORTS WORLD ONE SHORE EXCURSION
While you may be tempted to just relax and enjoy Resort World’s One facilities and activities, take advantage of the shore excursions being offered here. Shore excursions are pre-arranged tours by cruise ships. Since most of the ports are quite far from the usual touristy places of each destination, it can be hard to explore on your own, and often these packages are quite unique from the usual tour packages.
What I like about booking shore excursions directly with the cruise ship company is, it’s hassle-free, since they will take care of everything – the transfer between the ship and land, the tour guides, and the meals. They will also ensure that you will return on time before the ship departs, so, in case of unforeseen circumstances, the cruise ship will wait for you. Unlike if you do DIY Travel or book your tour with a travel agency outside of the cruise ship, you will be responsible if you end up being late.
During our 3 days and 2 nights cruise with Resorts World One, we availed ourselves of 2 Shore Excursions. Take note that this is not part of your cruise package, you will have to book and pay for this separately. You can approach the Reception/Concierge for assistance.
IMPORTANT : Before you leave resorts World One cruise ship for the shore excursion, claim a stamped photocopy of your passport from the staff. They will usually set up a table for this near the midship elevator.
KAOSHIUNG TOUR: SCENIC CIJIN ISLAND
A perfect day trip from Kaohsiung is Cijin Island (also spelled as Chijin or Qijin). It is part of the original core of Kaohsiung established by Hsu Ah-hua, a fisherman who sought shelter here from the storm. Cijin Island is oozing with tourist spots, and we got to visit some of them during the Shore Excursion.
I’ll write a more detailed post about the Resorts World One Shore Excursion but let me give you a list of the places we visited on Cijin Island.
- Cijin Island
- Kaoshiung Lighthouse
- Chihou Fort

DISEMBARKATION
At the end of your cruise trip, you need to disembark the ship. And here is how to do it:
SETTLE YOUR BILLS. Head to Reception, present your stateroom card/access card, and settle your bill using cash or credit card.
CLAIM YOUR PASSPORT. The night before your scheduled departure, claim your passport. If you have already settled your bill, they should hand it to you. If not, you need to pay first the charges you incurred in your stateroom card. The staff will leave instructions on your bed. Just follow it. During our tour, we were instructed to claim it at the table they set up near the elevator at midship from 7:00 PM to midnight the night before our disembarkation. But we forgot about it! Because we were busy packing our clothes. If that happens, you can claim it the next day at reception on Deck 7, no worries. Just claim it early in the morning, to avoid long lines and further delays.
LEAVE YOUR LUGGAGE AT YOUR DOOR. Pack your things the night before your departure. You can leave your luggage outside your stateroom door and your cabin attendant will pick it up for check-in. Make sure to hand carry your valuables, medicines, and gadgets. Do not forget, DO NOT pack the clothes, undergarments, shoes, or sandals that you plan to wear the next day.
GO TO THE MEET UP PLACE FOR DISEMBARKATION. Take note of your meet up time and venue for disembarkation. Be there at least 30 minutes before disembarkation to avoid delays. Usually, it is at the Grand Piazza on Deck 7.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
WHY CRUISE?
We have this preconceived notion that only the rich can go on a cruise. Since you need to break the bank to be able to afford a cruise. But times are changing, and these days, cruise trips are more reasonably priced than ever. If you take the time to calculate what is included in the cruise package versus a regular travel overseas, you will find that the price difference isn’t that huge.
For example:
I will write a more detailed post about the sample budget when taking a Resorts World One cruise. But it is possible not to break the bank when cruising. If you dine in at inclusive restaurants only and drink only the beverages provided at inclusive restaurants.
Also, Resorts World One sails to visa-free countries for Filipinos and other ASEAN Passport holders, so less hassle. You do not have to worry about visa processing. They also sail throughout the year, check their cruise schedule at their official website.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE RESORTS WORLD ONE TICKET PRICE
When you book a cruise ticket for Resorts World One, the cruise package includes typically includes your stateroom/ cabin, port fees, shows and entertainment onboard, activities, drinks, and meals (inclusive restaurants), use of facilities such as pool, gym, etc. If you want to avoid extra charges for the meals, dine in at inclusive restaurants only (The Lido and Lido Grill, Pavilion, and Dream Dining Room), one time per meal. Refer to the details above under the Inclusive Restaurants sections.
HOW MUCH IS THE GRATUITY FEE? IS TIPPING REQUIRED?
A required gratuity fee of HKD 450 (₱3,148) will be charged separately. You can settle this a day before you disembark the ship. If you want to tip a staff, you can still make additional tips at your discretion. If you decide to do so, a $10-$15 tip per person per day is reasonable.
IS CRUISING SAFE?
Yes. Cruise ships are designed and operated in strict compliance with international law. All the staff undergo rigorous training before they can board the ship.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET SICK ORS THERE IS A MEDICAL EMERGENCY?
There are licensed doctors, nurses, and medical practitioners onboard in case you need medical attention. Usually, the ships turn back or go to the nearest port if there is a medical emergency so they can transfer the passenger to the nearest hospital.
DO I NEED TO GET OFF THE SHIP AND JOIN THE SHORE EXCURSION?
No. Shore excursions are optional. You have the option to join or not to join the day tour. It’s up to you.
TRAVEL TIPS AND REMINDERS
Muster Station
Always check if your clock is set to local time. Remember, there could be a time difference between your country of origin and the place you are visiting.
In most countries, bringing fruits, vegetables, flowers, rocks, and sand are prohibited.
Familiarize yourself with the cruise ship. Take note of the fire exit, stairways, evacuation location, life vest location and lifeboat locations. Attend the safety/muster drill before the ship sails so you can learn about the proper procedures in case of emergency. It is important to learn the exact location of your muster station.
Wash your hands . Always wash your hands before eating or after doing activities to help prevent spread of disease caused by germs, bacteria, and virus.
Practice the LNT Principle. Leave no trace. Leave what you find, do not collect rocks and sand from your trip. Dispose your trash properly. Do not throw anything in the ocean. Plane ahead and prepare. Be considerate of other visitors aboard the ship.
Always bring your stateroom card. Make sure you always carry your stateroom card with you. Do not lose it.
