Pre-boarding Checklist
Before boarding, here are a couple of things you should take note of to make check-in a smoother process:
1. Check your Assigned Check-In Timing
To make checking in more efficient, all guests will receive their assigned check-in timing 7 days prior to their cruise. If your reservation was made less than 7 days before your cruise, you will receive your assigned check-in timing 48 hours prior to your cruise.
2. Complete your Mandatory Online Check-in
Before you set sail, you’ll need to complete a Mandatory Online Check-in which opens 72 hours prior to sailing and closes 24 hours before sailing. Guests can do so on the Resorts World Cruises website under the ‘Manage My Cruise’ section. This is to confirm some of your personal details before boarding the ship.

1) Printed or an electronic copy of your cruise ticket
2) Your passport with at least 6 months of validity
3) NRIC/FIN or Birth Certificate (for guests under 16 years old) for Malaysia Residents

Boarding at Port Klang Terminal
📍 Terminal address: Pulau Indah, P.O. Box 288, 42009 Pelabuhan Klang
Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia
Check-in for the Genting Dream in Malaysia is at the Port Klang Terminal, and the process is quite simple and straightforward. Once you’ve arrived at your assigned check-in time, the staff will guide you through all the things you need to do.
Once you’ve got all the admin things done, you’ll be ushered into immigration, and after that, you’ll be on your way to board the ship!
On Board the Genting Dream
Once you get on the ship, you will receive your sea pass card attached to a lanyard. Make sure to have this with you at all times on the ship!
Your first task onboard? Head straight to your Assembly Station stated on your card to register your sea pass and view the safety video. This is important as should there be any emergencies on the ship, you will need to assemble at your designated station. Once you are done with this, you're free to roam!
#KlookTip: Once you’re on board, you’ll want to make reservations to your favourite activities and restaurants before they run out of slots! The speciality restaurants such as Umi Uma (Teppanyaki), Hot Pot and Bistro (Western) can be booked up pretty quickly, so you’ll want to save some seats for those! To make reservations, you can use the phone provided in your room and dial ‘073’.
