Creator's Key Takeaways

I just returned from cruising around Asia with the Celebrity Solstice this was a 12 night cruise that left from Singapore going to Hong Kong a few stops in Thailand as well as Vietnam on the way there and I had such a good time

make sure that you show up early so when you are coming to an Asia trip especially if you were in the US or Europe the time change is drastic

the main dining room by the way on Celebrity was absolutely fantastic I would highly recommend it especially compared to the buffet

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Arrive in Asia a few days early to adjust to the time change
βœ“Watch your food intake on longer cruises to avoid overeating
βœ“Bring local currency for Thailand and Vietnam for small purchases
βœ“Book third-party excursions for better food and smaller groups
βœ“Download the Grab app for transportation in Asia
βœ“Wear long pants and cover shoulders for temple visits
