Genting Dream: Cruise experience (5 of 5)
Read part 5 here.
Day 5: Cruising day (South China Sea)
As the cruise enters its last full day, most of the ship's facilities and outlets are open the whole day. There was also a Bridge and Helipad Tour for passengers who are interested in knowing how the ship operates.

Other facilities
In addition to all the facilities introduced in the preceding parts of this travelogue, there were also a number of other facilities that I thought were worth mentioning.
The Reception at Deck 6 serves as the point of contact between the passengers and the ship. Services provided at the Reception include bill settlements, currency exchange, cabin card replacement, and an array of services related to the ship's services.
The Box Office takes in passenger reservations for theatrical shows and is the primary point of sale for ticketed events on board the ship.
In the event of an illness or injury, medical assistance may be sought at the ship's on board Clinic at deck 5. The Clinic provides round-the-clock medical assistance and is equipped with a small operating theatre for minor procedures.
Meeting Rooms
For corporate events such as conferences, meetings, or seminars, arrangements may be made for the use of Genting Dream's meeting rooms and boardrooms.
Genting Dream has four Meeting Rooms at Deck 5, named Bintan, Langkawi, Penang, and Phuket. The meeting rooms are served by a reception area.
The Bintan, Langkawi, and Penang meeting rooms can be configured in any one of the six configurations: Theatre, Boardroom, Classroom, U-Shape, Fish Bone, and Banquet. Phuket is available in Boardroom configuration only.
In addition to the meeting rooms, there are also two Executive Boardrooms at deck 7, near the Zodiac theatre.
