Ready to set sail? 🚢 Here’s the scoop on my 4 days, 3 nights aboard the Genting Dream Cruise — cruising from Singapore to Phuket with a bonus snapshot of the dreamy Zhouzhuang Town experience (think night vibes, riverside strolls, and epic sunrises!).

Cruise Highlights:
- Departure from Marina Bay Cruise Centre, Singapore (address: 61 Marina Coastal Drive, Singapore 018947). Boarding is smooth — just arrive 2 hours before departure so check-in stress vanishes!
- Genting Dream has all the Western and Chinese-style architecture you want for the ‘gram at night. Don’t miss the open deck after sunset or the poolside sunrise for unbelievable views 🌅.
- At Phuket, the cruise docks at Patong Bay — easy access to Patong Beach and the vibrant night markets. Spend the day snorkeling or chilling in one of Phuket's beach clubs (local time zone for excursions is GMT+7!).
- Food tip: Try the themed buffets (seafood night = a must). For a snack between meals, hit the Lido outdoor café — coffee and pastries for days!

Quick Zhouzhuang Guide 🏮:
If you love tranquil rivers, lakes, and classic Chinese architecture, Zhouzhuang Town (Kunshan, Jiangsu; open daily 8am-9pm) is a total reset. Stroll the stone bridges and riverside alleys at night for total peace.

How to Get Around:
On cruise days, everything’s walkable (and elevators are speedy). For Phuket, book your land excursion via the cruise’s info desk for seamless transfers. In Zhouzhuang, electric carts and bikes are chill alternatives to walking.

Pro Tips:
- Always bring a portable charger—sunrise and sunset photos drain your battery fast!
- Use trip.com to pre-book excursions for better deals and no last-minute headaches.
- Weather on deck gets breezy by evening, so pack a light jacket.
