Boarding Timeline Step 1: Complete online check-in at webcheckin.stardreamcruises.com (closes 48 hours before departure). Step 2: Arrive 2–3 hours early or within your assigned time slot. Step 3: Check luggage, collect keycard, clear immigration & security. Step 4: Board via gangway — checked bags arrive at your cabin later. Pro tip: Arrive at the earlier end of your check-in window. This gives you time to grab lunch at The Lido and secure poolside spots before sail-away at ~5 PM. MBCCS — dedicated terminal for Genting Dream and other large cruise ships. Genting Dream vs Disney Adventure vs Royal Caribbean – Which Singapore Cruise? All three depart from Marina Bay · Here's how they compare on what matters Bottom line: Genting Dream offers the best value — it's the only one with actual port visits on short itineraries, certified Halal dining, and the most affordable option with 2-night getaways.

Royal Caribbean sits between the two and appeals more to thrill-seekers.
