Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you're taking a cruise that stops in Port Klang, Malaysia you'll soon learn about the taxi mafia waiting for you if you choose not to take a cruise tour. The price board says it's 280 MYR for a day tour to KL where the taxi driver waits for you at each location and brings you back. If you say you'd like to go to the Batu Caves they try and charge you an extra 100 MYR and will not accept anything less even though the caves are a mere 10 min drive from downtown KL. Don't accept their price. Take the lowest one-way fare to downtown KL and negotiate with the driver once in the car. You should not pay more than 280 MYR for the whole day. We weren't worried about getting stuck in KL as there are at least a hundred drivers working for Grab (Uber in Malaysia) who would have drive us back to the port for a fraction of the rate the taxi mafia wanted at the cruise port. They think they have you captive but they don't. Just negotiate with the driver once you've left the port!
We were on Royal Caribbean and our cruise arrived at 7am and left at 3pm. That was more than enough time to see the Batu Caves, Petronas Towers, shop I'm Chinatown and in the Central Market. We left as soon as we could disembark and were back on board by 130pm. We could have done more but torrential rain started. We wanted to leave KL before the drowned rats started floating up on the streets.

I took a cruise holiday last week. At first ,considered to take Taxi to this area. However after I found out that the parking fees only RM20 per entry ( parked for 4 days ) it is worth driving my own car and parked at the yard. Huge parking space and guarded. Comfortable facilities but with limited shopping area.

This is one of the ports in Malaysia where one can enter or exit Malaysia via cruises.
We took one of the cruise from this Boustead Cruise Center called Star Cruise Gemini - a four day three night cruise to Phuket in Thailand followed by Langkawi in Malaysia on the way back. The center is quite small unlike Airport but it does have the necessary facilities to help travellers travel across the world. If you are leaving from this center ensure you are way early as the entry to the Center normally has a very long queue. The security point at entry does a security check and charges 1MYR for drop off too.

Taxis are very expensive from the cruise terminal for couples, try and join another couple or you will be disappointed. The taxi drivers we spoke to weren’t interested in the Malaysian Ringitt, they wanted the US dollar, and so would do business with us..this was at the terminal...outside of the terminal they asked for ridiculous amount. As we have been to KL many times we just wanted to go into the local town , but were quoted $100, $150, $200..we walked back to the ship and didn’t bother..Book a tour before you reach Pt Kelang.

For everyone going on a sea cruise from KL this is the location to board in West Port, Port Klang. It is an approx 45-90mins drive from KL but may be longerr during peak hours. Overnight parking at the time of writing is RM20/per car/per cruise. The car park is big. Facilities in the cruise center is good with space for loading and unloading. Immigration is quite efficient too. Ship boarding and disembarkation in on the 2nd floor. During peak hours be prepared to queue and wait for 30-45mins before boarding. Overall the building is clean and well ventilated.

I visited the Cruise Centre on a Saturday. As there were no ship arrivals that day I was stopped at the gate and refused entry by the guard on duty. There were at least three other people who arrived after me. They too were not allowed to enter

This port of call for my 6D5N cruise on Dream Cruise is a port of call that really is in need of a renovation and addition of shops and eateries as well.
Also lacking is their security folks whom seems very lax in the way they go about ensuring safety of the passengers.
Only good thing is that the wifi is free.

If you're taking a cruise and Kuala Lumpur is one of the ports, this is where you are likely to pull into. As cruise ports go, it has all of the things one would want; it's well-lit, climate controlled, has a police presence, access to taxis, and some small shops where you can pick up sundry items and refreshments at a price far cheaper than the boat. They have souvenirs but they are on the junky side.
As for items of merit, sadly there is nothing to see here. But for a cruise terminal? It's not bad.

We stopped here last week on the Maasdam. There is not much to see or do here, other than some souvenir shopping or pay a steep price to leave by taxi or excursion.

Thank you for the info. May I ask (1) how did you secure your parking space? I emailed the parking operators at their given email but received no reply. (2) Is the parking lot shaded or out in the open? Thank you.

How am I pick up friend arriving at port klang from cruise? Which direction should I find them ?
Written 25 June 2023
Any idea how to pick friend up arriving from Cruise at Port Klang?, wondering if it is easier to drive directly to pick up point like airport (assuming like airport, if the car allowed to wait there?) or park car then to meet friends? Car park is cheap but trying to make it is easier to load suitcases instead of pushing around car park?
