Cruise is the most boring holidays to take
Eat sleep see sky moon and sun
Movies free and food is buffet
Docking take hours

Better take a bus to Sungai Nibong Bus Terminal which is t Penang Island.

If you take one to Butterworth, you need to take a boat to Penang Island.

These boats take less than 10 minutes to travel over to Swettenham Pier in Georgetown and operate between 07.00 am and 8.30 pm.

Departures are between every 30 minutes (peak hours) to every 60 minutes (off-peak).

Own time own target la!

If you join a tour group, it’s everyday wake up 6am.rush here rush there
Go to shops, they try to koyok sell you
Night time, tour guide just send you to hotel to watch television 

If go free and easy
It’s never easy with transport
And the costs that add up is never worth it

U go Cameron or Sabah or some other ulu towns. My worst experience was in Cameron Highlands where I couldn't get a rental car. Got once took taxi to visit tea plantation and no taxi to go back. Hv to wait for bus. Lucky I managed to stop a tour bus going to the hotels. Driver don't want to charge me any fees but I gave him $20.

Okay I have booked for 4 days starting on Thursday for Penang.

Thanks for all the tips. After much consideration, I am taking the bus as the small jets flying there pose a real safety issue for me.

I will be staying near Gurney drive area

Many years ago, I took a bus from Singapore to Bangkok with a navy buddy. The bus stopped at Butterworth and from Butterworth to Hat Yai by car, then from Hat Yai to Bangkok by bus again. 

I remember the bus left Singapore from People's Park around 2000 hrs and arrived at Butterworth around 1400 hrs the next day. It was very tiring and miserable to sit in the bus the whole trip and I will never do that again. ...

[WhatDoYouThink!]

Long distance buses are aso not totally safe. Which rows are safer in case of accidents ha? Front rows can exit faster, but the impact is aso greater
