Third casinos finally surface
Btw they say dinner needs long pants/collar top for guys except the Lido
How strict are they with this ?
Went for City Check in today
For sailing on Sunday, they offer City check in on Fri and Sat
Gotten all our key cards already
The guy at the office there said by this way save one step for tomorrow
Tomorrow just need to wait for luggage scan and immigration clearance only
Think they plan for this long term
City check in is one of the option at the queue ticket machine at their office at Genting Centre
Went there today slightly over 10am, just after their office open. Nobody there at all.
So assume I was the first one
After that got another guy came to do the city check in as well
Seems like not many people are using this method to hasten the boarding process
Think they should send out sms/whatsapp instead of email like what they did
From the FAQ site the charges for wifi seems quite ex
Definitely more than RC
Not sure how's the speed
Btw, anyone know what's GD max passengers capacity?
I can't conclude but I read somewhere is 5k. It's lower berths capacity is no doubt 3.3k.
According to this news, GD maiden voyage to Bali have 2561 passengers onboard. so GD take up rate is pretty low. Consider now is peak holiday season.

Hello! I’m going on the cruise soon. Does anyone here know what are the complimentary dining options for dream palace guests and whether meals/snacks are available for suite guests 24 hrs? I’ve read that there are no free supper options for regular guests but not sure abt suite guests? Wondering whether I need to bring my own snacks! I’m bringing young teenagers along and theres is not much info online
Wow thanks for the super detailed info! I’m going for the 2 nite cruise only so your recommendations for the specialty restaurant is indeed helpful! Hope I can get to try the steak! Will update again when I come back. Hope there aren’t anymore super long queues but I wld imagine there wld be queues for for the 2nite cruise cos so short time to try everything!I just got back from the dream palace suite, it is really lovely.
Dining option include (complimentary):
[All guest]
The regular non-suite restaurant (buffet and set meal style) 3 main meals
Morning snack and afternoon tea (idk location) - 2 light snacks
[Suite guest]
All the above, and include below:
The suite palace restaurant at level 17 - 3 main meals
The complimentary specialty restaurant (2 for 2 night, 5 for 5 night sailing) - under main meal, either lunch or dinner
Seafood BBQ night (5 night sailing only) - on Thursday ( my butler didn't tell me and I miss it, sob sob)
Afternoon tea at suite palace level 16
Supper around 11- I can't remember wat time ( palace suite restaurant)
So basically, u can have 3 main meal and 2 light snack in between and a supper after 11pm. Rule for dining: u can only choose to dine once per session. Additional entry during same dining period is charged $15 per entry
Eg. If you dine at mark best (specialty restaurant) at 6pm, and u decided to pop by buffet at 8.30, as dinner time is 5.30-9.30, u r consider 2 round dining hence will be charged $15 ( the rule according to my butler on first night)
BUT, one night I have dinner at Silk Road and it is horrible, I complain to my butler and she kindly agree to allow me to dine again at Chinese restaurant (common area) under her escort and we have priority entry, no scan card no extra charged.
Booking available for lunch and dinner, breakfast at palace suite cannot book, depends on luck whether need to Q or not.
Room service available with a charge ( according to my butler)
I do not feel hungry, all meals I didn't have to Q.
Lunch Menu at palace restaurant rotates every 3 days (cuz on 4th day I see same menu) - ask when is the lobster day and go for it
Must go specialty: Mark best for steak. Hot pot for Super large portion serving. Teppanyaki for the Chef performance.
Avoid Silk Road
Enjoy your trip and kindly update if the service improve, whether the Q is still horrible for non suite guest restaurant and activities

It is also possible that people are worried about the recent Bali volcano eruption thus sailing to Bali has lesser people? Maybe phuket one will have more passenger.

no doubt will have, however I believe majority in favour of this itinerary would have already book before the volcano erupt.
By the way, i heard GD will be offering new itineraries starting April, to South China sea. We'll likely see Laem Chabang (Bangkok), giving us another reason (or excuse) to cruise again, haha.
