We’ve rescheduled our cruise trip to July. Was supposed to embark on a cruise to nowhere in February, but we were down with covid. Royal Caribbean was nice to allow us to reschedule and refund our trip in cruise credit. But of course, we had to top up the difference when we rebook our trip. Sadly, it cost more now compared to when we booked it in August last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early June, Royal Caribean sent us an email updating our cruise itinerary. Instead of cruising to nowhere, we’re having a cruise to Malaysia. We’ll be stopping at Port Klang (Kuala Lumpur) and Penang. And we’ve got a list of what we should do before embarking on this new adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MySejahtera App<\/h4>\n\n\n

MySejahtera App on Play Store<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Download the MySejahtera app on Google’s Play Store or Apple Store on your phone. You need this app when travelling to Malaysia. It’s like our Tracetogether for contact tracing purposes and to check your vaccination status.<\/p>\n\n\n

After you’ve set up an account in the app, look for “Traveller”.<\/p>\n\n\n

Traveller’s Page<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

You need to fill up your travelling information and vaccination details. It takes about 7 days for your application to be approved. You’ll receive a Blue Traveler’s Card on the app which you need to show during boarding day in order to debark in Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Found this website<\/a> on how to complete the digital traveller’s form on the app. It’s helpful and glad that I found it. Was clueless on how to fill up, especially when I have to key in a Malaysia address and contact information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: it’s quite frustrating to fill in travelling information in order to get the blue traveller’s card before the trip. Not only do you have to wait for the date to reflect on the app, but you also have to wait for the time too for both departure and arrival. Just my thoughts when using the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Royal Caribbean International App<\/h4>\n\n\n
\n

Download the Royal Caribbean International app from Google Play Store or Apple Store. You need to check-in through the app and update your vaccination records.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"
Royal Carribean Check-in on app<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The day before boarding, you need to fill up the health and safety questions to complete your in-app check-in.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"
Activities on Spectrum of the Sea<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Before sailing day, we get to scroll through the app to see what activities that’s available when we’re cruising with Royal Caribbean. You can book tours to attend after you debark to enter Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singapore-approved Supervised Rapid Antigen Test<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

All guests, regardless of age, must schedule a Singapore-approved supervised rapid antigen test. It is not included in our cruise package, so we’ve to pay for this out of our own pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check your email as they’ve all the information given with the options on where to book for the rapid antigen test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We booked an appointment with a MOH-approved supervised rapid agent test clinic near home. You’ll receive an SMS from MOH after your appointment is booked. You will also receive a reminder a day before your test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The supervised rapid antigen test was much faster than I expected. Maybe because the one we went to is a test centre and not an actual clinic. Lesser human traffic helps speed up the process. It cost us $30 for two pax and we received an SMS notification of our results within 15 minutes. Heard that the telemed is more costly, but you’re paying for the convenience if you do not want to travel to a clinic or a test centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once done with the above things to do, it’s time to head off for your cruising adventure!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
