Hi all,

Does anyone here with assigned host can advise, moving forward from July 2022, if the Friday departure cruises to Bintan/Batam and/or Sunday departure cruises to KL/Penang will need us to download and set up their own countries' Trace Together App when we go for their ShorEx?

Many old kakis had been sharing in this forum not to chase after the Tier-Point and Card status. Just budget your entertainment amount and enjoy the trip.
Yes, winning is more important than chasing TP

No point losing a lot for $$ for chasing the TP when the money lost can use to buy many trip,

Set your priority right is important

During Pre covid, we do not need go thru their custom when we go Shortex as the cruise will keep your passport

But do not know if it is still the same arrangement now

They always giving complimentary cabins. So where their revenue from?
Really earn so much from gamblers?
You may be underestimating how a casino can make money.

One of the most profitable businesses in the world is running a casino. Casinos are never afraid of punters winning, they just worry that punters won't keep visiting them.

One of the most common marketing strategies to attract visitors is in-house perks, which are usually only available within in-house facilities, such as free rooms/cabins, free upgrades, reward points, and various loyalty programs, etc...

Of all casino visitors, high rollers are the group they look after the most, as this group brings them the most lucrative income.

The cruise will just tender off, not dock. You need to use small boats to go over to bintan batam. Gaming and all other activities still open.

Last heard Malacca port anchorage was undergoing expansion but not sure if is ready. Otherwise ship will call and anchored at Port Dickson. For both Malacca or Port Dickson, the ship will anchor outside the Port and ferry boats are available to transfer to shore. Malacca shore Jetty is quite close to the main shopping mall about 5-10mins by taxi (available at Jetty costs abt RM30 one way). Port Dickson is far away and easily 1-1.5hour each way by coach to Malacca. Malacca has few big shopping malls and many street shops to roam around for food or sightseeing.

Penang is very convenient. The ship will berth at Swettenham Cruise Terminal. Just need to walk out to the main exit and you can take taxis or Grab or the free City Shuttle Bus.



Free Shuttle Bus details. Take from bus stop #4.

From what I noticed, Royal Spectrum already starts sailing into Malaysia yesterday. And while arrived at MBCC, they would also require you to have your My Sejahtera app being set up during the check in too. All passports were to be collected at the ship's gangway during boarding too. I am presuming that since Genting Dreams is also starting to call at ports in Bintan/Batam and/or KL/Penang, perhaps they might also follow suit soon too🤔
