Creator's Key Takeaways

I have not long been back from my Far East adventure. Uh, and I'd love to talk you through some of those highlights, some of my findings, some of the uh, main questions I've been asked since going away.

The crew on board Ovation of the Seas were stunning. And it was such a different cruise for me, not just because it was sailing out of Singapore and to a country I'd never visited before, Malaysia, which by the way was just stunning.

I would say it was up there with my best experiences which have been on with Qatar and Emirates. Uh I wouldn't say it was better though. I wouldn't, but it was certainly very good.

Direct flight from the UK to Singapore never felt unsafe at all. not flying over those affected areas um and not having to change anywhere.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose flights carefully to beat jet lag, factoring in time differences and flight times.
Always check what you are allowed to take into a country and what is banned.
Book Cloud Forest tickets in advance to save time and avoid long lines in the heat.
Get to Long Bar at Raffles Hotel for opening to avoid long waits.
