Ok need to start with the boring stuff first. First thing first, any size of the luggage that can check in with your flight is also allowed in the cruise. But need to take note that the large Non-Hand Carried need to check in from Singapore Immigration and Royal Cabribbean will emailed you the label tag to print and stable onto your luggage. Hand carried luggage will be fine to bring in, but will go through security checks at the scanning machines. The Royal cabbribean will still need to check your boarding pass + passport. Boarding pass will be emailed to you when you do your check in before sailing 3 days and before, so best to do it early as i did 1 month ago. But Singapore Immigration in Singapore Cruise Center is so much different than what i did during my regular Malaysia Singapore commuting. Over here, no passport required and i didn't even need to scan my fingerprint. All i need to do is look at the machine and walk through, totally took like 15 seconds and pass through the gantry. So fast ! Then fast forward to going down Penang, all we need is to bring the sail pass card and we are out for our Penang trip. There will be many taxi and private tour over at penang jetty. Normally a small family size, just book the grab to go around should be fine and much cheaper. Overheard some charged them for over RM400 for only 4 hours ride. Mine entire 4 grabs car ride costs lesser than RM80 for three pax. So private rides isn't necessary at all. Then back and out to Singapore, just Sail pass is sufficient, but still think passport still necessary to bring around lah. Why am i saying this? Because my last cruise trip procedures were different, passport is always necessary and cruise will safekeep our passport. But this time its different, we are holding on to our passport most of the time. So yeah this is more for the immigration processes.
