4D3N Genting Dream Cruise full experience & tips!
My first-ever cruise on the Genting Dream, and it was a “no-kids, just us” romantic getaway with Mr. Chen 🎀
Finally a chance to hit pause, escape the chaos, and let my inner mom self fly free 🕊️
We sailed from Singapore → Phuket → back to SG, and it was everything we needed (and more)!
🛒 Booking
We booked directly through the [official website] – super easy to check routes, compare cabins & secure a good deal. Highly recommend!
🛏️ Cabin Type – Balcony Stateroom
Tons of cabin options, but we went for a balcony room – and YES, it’s worth it!!
Waking up to sunrise views, sipping wine with sea breeze on the balcony… ultimate ocean luxury. The room was cozy, clean, and the view? Unbeatable.
🍽️ Dining Onboard
✅ Free Dining Options:
3 main restaurants with international buffet, Chinese cuisine, and Western meals + afternoon tea! Never went hungry.
💰 Paid Options:
We tried the Western fine dining – steak 🥩 + wine 🍷 + ocean view = peak romance.
🎡 Free Activities You’ll Love
• Giant water slides
• Swimming pools
• Rope course & zipline
• Rock climbing
• Mini golf
• Basketball, ping pong, gym
💫 Special shoutout to the Zodiac Theatre – nightly shows with impressive stunts & great production quality. Truly entertaining!
🫧 Foam Party Alert!
Don’t miss the bubble party! Super fun and energetic – music, dancing, foam everywhere. (Small extra fee, but so worth it.)
🎳 Other paid activities: bowling, billiards, arcade games, creative workshops, etc.
