Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Our First Video

Hi there and welcome to our first video. We are Deb & Matt. This video footage was intended to be just for some testing, but as a raw first take we loved it when we watched it and is keeping with taking you on the journey from the beginning. The video quality isn't perfect, but neither is a rose until it blooms. The audio isn’t the greatest. But for a first run that’s ok. We know where we went wrong. It is all learning! We are starting a journey setting up a new business together. We have chosen the #kajabi platform to help us launch. Flashy “expert” videos are great (trust us we have been watching plenty) but this is your chance to learn as we learn. If you haven’t heard about Kajabi as an online platform follow this link to check it out at https://app.kajabi.com/r/GzeU6QUq Be sure to subscribe! **Affiliate links disclaimer** As we go on our journey we may post the occasional affiliate link, which means we may earn a small commission. It helps us and we appreciate if you do click through, but you can always just use your favourite search engine and find the product or service that way too.

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Our BIGGEST Cruise Highlights & Disappointments of 2025

G’day everyone! Join us for an `end of year` `youtube recap` as we reflect on 2025. We’re sharing our top 10 `likes and dislikes`, `ranking` our most memorable moments, and even some shocking ones from our `travel vlog` adventures. This `daily vlog` is a bit different, but we hope you enjoy our `year in review`!

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on our cruise and travel highlights and low lights of the year — and sharing them with you in this special Merry Christmas end-of-year episode 🎄🚢

In this video, Deb and Matt put each other on the spot, taking turns to name a highlight or a low light across 10 different cruise and travel topics from our 2025 adventures. Some moments were unforgettable, some were challenging, and a few taught us lessons we’ll never forget.

This is an honest, reflective, and fun look back at a huge year of cruising — from incredible ships and destinations to things we definitely hope not to repeat next year.

💬 We’d love to hear from you:
What was your cruise highlight or low light of 2025? Let us know in the comments.

Thank you for being part of the Deb & Matt Chat community this year. Your support, comments, and conversations mean the world to us.

🎄 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Deb & Matt 🎄
Here’s to more cruising, travel, and deep & meaningful adventures in 2026.
