As an avid cruiser, I was eager to experience the new offerings by Asia-based Resorts World Cruises. Their ship Genting Dream sails exciting itineraries from Singapore, including quick getaways to Malaysia and seasonal cruises to Australia.
I embarked on a 4-day Borneo cruise aboard the Genting Dream and found it a comfortable, activity-packed floating resort.
Spacious and Modern Stateroom
After boarding for my cruise at Marina Bay terminal, I was impressed by my stateroom’s ample size and sleek design. The comfortable queen bed, flatscreen TV, and sofa provided plenty of space. The private balcony also added outdoor lounging with calming sea views.
Modern amenities like power outlets, on-demand entertainment and free WiFi ensured creature comforts. Daily housekeeping kept the room spotless. I appreciated the thoughtful touches enhancing the maritime escape.
Tempting Dining Options
Genting Dream offered no shortage of dining variety with over 35 restaurants and bars. Highlights included Prime – the upscale steakhouse, Silk Road – dishing out Chinese fare, and the classy Blue Lagoon seafood restaurant.
From casual poolside venues to sushi bars to romantic fine dining, the culinary offerings spanned global influences. With so many options, I could try something new every meal. Complimentary room service also provided convenience.
Action-Packed Days and Nights
During days at sea, I enjoyed activities like karaoke competitions, dance classes by the pool, slot tournaments in the casino, and trivia games testing my pop culture knowledge. Parents and kids had dedicated playrooms for unlimited fun.
At night, guests could enjoy cinema under the stars on the top deck or visit the lavish Zodiac Theater for origami-inspired Cirque du Soleil spectacles. The excitement continued till late in the pulsating clubs and lounges.
Smooth Sailing From departure to docking, everything about my Genting Dream cruise went smoothly. Friendly staff provided excellent service with a warm Asian hospitality. I was truly pampered from the indulgent meals to the nightly entertainment.
For an affordable, luxurious way to escape while visiting Singapore, I wholeheartedly recommend these revitalizing Resorts World Cruises.
