Posted by | Dec 23, 2025 | |

Welcome to Day 1 on Voyager of the Seas, sailing from Brisbane, Australia 🚢🇦🇺
G’day everyone! Join us for a new `cruise vlog` as we embark on our `travel` adventure aboard the `voyager class ship`, Royal Caribbean Voyager of the Seas. This `cruise ship` exploration marks our first time on this particular vessel, promising a fantastic `vacation` filled with discoveries. Stick with us for more content as we share our experiences on this `royal caribbean voyager class` vessel!

This is our embarkation day vlog and the very first Voyager of the Seas Brisbane homeport cruise of the season.

In this video we take you through:
• The Brisbane Cruise Terminal experience
• The embarkation and boarding process
• First impressions of the ship once onboard
• Windjammer lunch, casual dining & pizza
• Exploring wide open decks, promenade, casino & upper decks
• Muster station experience
• Live entertainment including Ice Odyssey
• Dinner at Chops Grille
• What the ship feels like on night one

We also share our honest first impressions of Voyager of the Seas after a full first day onboard — the crowds, the quiet spaces, and how she compares to other Royal Caribbean ships we’ve sailed.

This video is part of our Voyager of the Seas Brisbane series, including cabin tours, dining reviews, daily vlogs, and tips for cruising from Australia.

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Embarkation Chaos & 90s Vibes! Our FINAL P&O Australia Cruise | Pacific Encounter to Carnival

Posted by | May 21, 2025 | |

It’s the end of an era! Join us as we set sail on our very last P&O Australia cruise aboard the Pacific Encounter — now rebranded as Carnival Encounter. This isn’t your average embarkation day… delays, disorganisation, and an approaching cyclone made for a chaotic start to our nostalgic 90s themed cruise! 🌪️🕺

From long lines at the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal to unexpected boarding hiccups, we take you behind the scenes of this unforgettable embarkation experience. But it’s not all stress — once onboard, we dive into delicious dining, get into the 90s party spirit, and reconnect with cruise creator friends like Rob & Ali from Robynellic.

🚢 Whether you’re a die-hard P&O fan, curious about the Carnival switchover, or just love a good cruise vlog, this is the perfect kickoff to our brand-new series.
