Creator's Key Takeaways

I used to work on cruise ships something people ask me all the time is if I'd be interested in more guest experiences and the answer is yes as of right now I've only been on one Cruise as a guest

I have very much been mentally preparing for just in case I cannot get on the ship I'm just going to have a great couple days in Singapore

I am really happy with it I experienced my first balcony cabin back when I was on Utopia in July and sure maybe an interior cabin isn't as glamorous as a balcony cabin honestly the best sleeps of my life are in interior cabins

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the standby process if you know a crew member, but be prepared for potential delays
Consider an interior cabin for better sleep, especially if you're jetlagged
Book private longtail boats in Thailand for a more personalized experience
