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: Dear Michael Bayley… We Have 3 Wishes for Royal Caribbean in 🇦🇺👀

We filmed this at dinner onboard  ⁨@RoyalCaribbeanAUNZ   Anthem of the Seas Cruise Ship— and it might be our cheekiest video yet 😅

Dear Michael Bayley…

We have THREE humble wishes:

🇦🇺 Year-round Royal Caribbean cruising in Australia
🌴 An announcement date for Lelepa
🥧 And… we need to talk about the goat cheese tart

During the Captain’s Corner onboard Anthem, Matt asked about year-round cruising in Australia — and the whole theatre CHEERED. 👏

So we thought… why not make it official?

If you agree with us:

👉 LIKE the video
👉 SHARE it with your cruise friends
👉 TAG Royal Caribbean & Michael Bayley in the comments

Let’s see if this makes it to Miami 👀

@RoyalCaribbean
We address Michael Bailey with three requests, focusing on the possibility of year-round cruising in Australia. As dedicated Royal Caribbean cruise ambassadors, we believe the Australian cruise community deserves this exciting development. We offer cruise tips and travel tips for those eager to explore the world on a cruise ship.
