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'm so happy to be here and experience all these new places the ship and just everything it has to offer

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use a 360 camera for versatile filming without aiming
Consider a private longtail boat for a local Thailand experience
Call housekeeping to adjust the virtual balcony settings in interior cabins

Getting on the ship as a standby guestCompare it to flying standby for airlines; hope for the best and have a backup plan in port
Limited time in port (e.g., one day in Thailand)Choose a local experience like a private longtail boat instead of popular but distant excursions
