Creator's Key Takeaways

Let's hope it's really good. Let's hope it's worth it. Let's hope I haven't just booked two things that are very, very similar.

I found the one yesterday more scenic whereas I thought this one today was supposed to be more scenic. So that's interesting.

It's been really cool exploring Thailand. I really want to go back other times and maybe I should stay in a resort or something.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider not doing both the Phuket highlights and panoramic tour on the same trip as they may be too similar.
βœ“Bring your Cass card to claim your passport on Deck 11.
βœ“Make sure to complete the new arrival card when returning to Singapore.

🚒 Ovation of the Seas | Royal Caribbean Cruise Vlog – Day 5! Day 5 of the cruise and we’re back in Phuket for another port day aboard Ovation of the Seas. This time we take on a panoramic island tour, featuring one of the most scenic drives of the entire trip. While a couple of stops make a return (yes… the temple and cashew nut factory again πŸ˜…), the real highlight is the journey itself β€” incredible coastal roads, elevated viewpoints, and some seriously stunning scenery. After another day exploring Thailand, we head back to the ship and sail away from Phuket, continuing the adventure across Southeast Asia. πŸ“Ί Do you mind repeat stops on excursions β€” or is it all about the views? πŸ”₯ Support the Channel on Patreon: Want to see more of the world through my lens?
