Genting Dream with Kids: A Family Cruise Guide
Golden Tropics Travel · Updated
A short cruise on Genting Dream is an easy family holiday from Malaysia: you unpack once, meals are close at hand, and there is plenty for children to do on board. Here is what families should know before booking.
What children can do on board
- Waterslide Park with six different slides (Deck 19)
- A kids’ water play area beside the main pool (Deck 16)
- Little Dreamers Club for children aged 2 to 12, with activities grouped by age
- A ropes course with a 35-metre zipline, and a rock climbing wall, for older children
Choosing a family cabin
Many cabins sleep three or four guests using sofa beds or Pullman beds that fold down from the wall. Check the bed layout for your cabin type when you book, especially with young children.
Families who plan to spend most of the day at the pools and activities often start with an interior or oceanview cabin; a balcony cabin adds private outdoor space for quiet time.
Safety rules and limits
Waterslides, the zipline and the climbing wall have age, height and weight limits, and children must follow the lifeguards’ and staff instructions. Rules for the kids’ club, including any charges after the free period, are confirmed on board.
Embarkation day and documents
- Each child needs their own passport, valid for at least six months.
- For sailings that visit or start in Singapore, complete the SG Arrival Card online before arrival.
- Pack a small bag with swimwear, sunscreen, medicines and a change of clothes for the first afternoon, as main luggage can take time to reach your cabin.
- Arrive at the terminal at your given check-in time: Port Klang Cruise Terminal or Marina Bay Cruise Centre in Singapore, depending on your sailing.
