World Dream Super Seacation Cruise To Nowhere

DreamElite is Dream Cruises’ free loyalty programme allowing you to earn points from all qualifying cruise nights and spending on board Genting Dream, World Dream, or Explorer Dream. DreamElite is a status-based loyalty programme, which means the points aren’t exchangeable for cash. Instead, Dream Points are used to increase your status which in turn gets you various benefits on your cruise.

Perhaps the most useful perk of being a DreamElite Member is for the free drinks and discounted drinks packages.

The free drinks coupon (and other coupon-based perks if you’re interested in them) are redeemed on board the World Dream at the DreamElite Member Information Counter.

Redemption is quick and easy from the staff on hand.

DreamElite 4th Anniversary Mocktail

~~I received an email before my cruise about the DreamElite 4th Anniversary Special Complimentary Drink for DreamElite members, which perfectly matched up with my cruise date.~~

~~The complimentary DreamElite 4th Anniversary Mocktail is redeemed from Mixt Cocktail Bar (Deck 8 MID).~~

The DreamElite 4th Anniversary Mocktail is quite sweet but it might have been my fault for not stirring the syrup below before drinking it with a straw. I think it was blue pea? But I couldn’t figure it out.

DreamElite Welcome Drink

DreamElite Jade, Sapphire, and Diamond members also get a welcome drink on each cruise. This is a non-alcoholic drink from Lobby Cafe or Red Lion only.

While General members (0 to 500 Dream Points) are not entitled to it, with 200 Dream Points issued per qualifying night in a Stateroom or 400 Dream Points per per qualifying night in a Suite, you would be immediately be promoted to Jade member at the end of your very first cruise in a regular Balcony Stateroom if it was a 3 night cruise, which means pretty much everyone is a Jade member and above on the third cruise.

Lobby Cafe

Over at the Lobby Cafe, only 2 drinks are on the DreamElite Welcome Drink, which are Yuan Yang and Milo Dinosaur.

The Yuan Yang was rather sweet, and tasted similar to espresso syrup for the coffee part of things. The milk would have played a part too, with the white-ish colour the Yuan Yang is giving out.

On my next cruise, I tried the Milo Dinosaur.

During Phase 2 (Heightened Alert), only takeaways are available, and my Milo Dinosaur was served in a brown paper bag.

The staff at Lobby Cafe really took the meaning of a “sealed container” very seriously when she taped up the hole which I need to punch my straw in.

The Milo Dinosaur is a more familiar taste, and was nicely sweet and thick.

Red Lion

If the two freshly made drinks aren’t for you, just go upstairs to the Red Lion.

Anything from the non-alcoholic drinks fridge can be taken as your welcome drink.

You can also opt for a Fresh Young Coconut.

DreamElite Pre-Booked Premium Beverage Package (10% Discount)

Perhaps the most useful benefit of the DreamElite membership is having 10% off pre-booked beverage packages. This is done by phone at +65 6223 3311 after booking your cruise.

DreamElite Pre-Booked Premium Beverage Package Price

2 nights: S$187 (Usual Price S$208)

3 nights: S$241 (Usual Price S$268)

The Premium Beverage Package gets you a “Package 1” sticker on your stateroom card for easy identification by the staff at bars and restaurants.

Premium Beverage Package Soft Drinks Menu

Premium Beverage Package Beer and Wine Menu

Premium Beverage Package Mocktails, Coffee and Tea Menu

This is the extensive Premium Beverage Package I got for ~~S$170~~ (old price) on a 2-night cruise. This now costs S$187.

Alcoholic beverages are served from 7am to 10.30pm, with the last order at 10.00pm. That means cocktails and sparkling wine at breakfast. Drinks are free flow, though you can only order 1 at a time.

You can also get premium still or sparkling water throughout the cruise, 24 hours, and other non-alcoholic beverages too.

DreamElite Pre-Booked Classic Beverage Package (10% Discount)

If you’re not into cocktails and liquors, the Classic Beverage Package does the job well too with beer and wine included for about half the price.

DreamElite Pre-Booked Classic Beverage Package Price

2 nights: S$97 (Usual Price S$108)

3 nights: S$142 (Usual Price S$158)

The Classic Beverage Package gets you a “Package 2” sticker on your stateroom card for easy identification by the staff at bars and restaurants.

Classic Beverage Package Soft Drinks, Chilled Juices, and Water Menu

Classic Beverage Package Beer and Wine Menu

Classic Beverage Package Coffee and Tea Menu

Beers and wines are sufficient for food pairing and slow leisure drinking, so the Classic Beverage Package works too.

But should you pre-book your 10% discounted DreamElite Beverage Package?

Here’s the part which Dream Cruises doesn’t promote before your cruise, and that’s the on-board discounts or sales.

You get a 10% off your your DreamElite pre-booked beverage package, yes. Clear cut.

The free 24 hour Premium WiFi voucher promotion is over. Just pre-book your 10% discounted DreamElite Beverage Package.

However, when purchasing a beverage package for the full price on board during this on-going “promotion” (with no end date in sight, but it can be revoked at any time too, just like The Palace Premium Beverage Package), you get a free 24 hour Premium WiFi voucher. And yes, that is for all Premium, Classic, and Refresh (non-alcoholic) Beverage Packages.

A 2-night Premium WiFi package for 1 device costs S$28, and a 2-night Standard WiFi package for 1 device costs S$18, so if I were to value a 24 hour Premium WiFi package, it might be somewhere in the middle at S$23. (And no, you cannot purchase the WiFi package on the second cruise day to pay for lesser nights – it’s counted according to the cruise duration.)

However, instead of valuing the 24 hour Premium WiFi package, you should count it according to the discount you get. For me, the 2-night Standard WiFi package is more than sufficient and surprisingly allows me to stream YouTube videos even though it’s specifically sold as not being capable for it.

The discounted DreamElite Pre-Booked Premium Beverage Package price for 2 nights costs S$170, while the usual price is S$188. That means, if you are booking a 2-night Standard WiFi package, you will simply break even for your cost. Now, if you buy the discounted DreamElite Pre-Booked Classic Beverage Package for 2 nights instead, the price is then S$86, with the usual price at S$95. If you need WiFi at all when booking the discounted DreamElite Pre-Booked Classic Beverage Package, the total cost will be more than if you were to receive the free 24 hour Premium WiFi package, and that’s definitely more with the Refresh Package too.

~~tl;dr: If you don’t need WiFi, get the discounted DreamElite pre-booked beverage packages without worries.~~

tl;dr: If you need some WiFi, don’t get the discounted DreamElite pre-booked beverage packages because you will get a 24 hour Premium WiFi voucher when purchased on board which is valued higher than the 10% discount.

The free 24 hour Premium WiFi voucher promotion is over. Just pre-book your 10% discounted DreamElite Beverage Package.

Just don’t buy one thing though…

Whatever you do, do not get the Beer Lover Beverage Package.

For S$88 on a 2-night cruise, which is only a S$7 saving on the Classic Beverage Package before DreamElite discount, you will be entitled to free-flow of a grand total of 1 type of drink – Heineken on draft. Draft is not even available at all bars and restaurants, unlike the Classic Beverage Package which gets you both bottled and draft beers if you like. Even if you are Beer Lover, get the Classic Beverage Package for convenience.
