Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Mystery Island Cruise Day | Danger, Snorkelling & Island Life | Voyager of the Seas

Posted by | Jan 22, 2026 | |

Day 4 of our Voyager of the Seas New Year’s Eve cruise takes us to one of the South Pacific’s most talked-about ports — Mystery Island.

This video is our full cruise-day experience, from the tender process to exploring the island, making a costly mistake (yes… we forgot our wallet 😬), and spending the day swimming, snorkelling and relaxing — with a few unexpected challenges along the way.

We cover:

🚤Tender boats and arrival at Mystery Island
❌What not to do when visiting the island
🦞Lobster lunch prices and island food options
🏝️Walking the island & what there is to see
💲Local markets, airport & facilities (including the toilets!)
😎Pre-booked cabana / bungalow experience
⚠️Snorkelling dangers, tides & safety
🐠Second attempt snorkelling & reef fish
🏖️Family-friendly activities and beach time

Wrapping up the day before New Year’s Eve celebrations onboard

This is an honest, real-world look at Mystery Island — the good, the beautiful, and the parts cruisers need to be prepared for.

👇 Question for you:
Would you snorkel here — or is Mystery Island better enjoyed from the beach?

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Tastes of Asia Mystery Trivia and 70s Disco Party on Voyager of the Seas

Posted by | Jan 20, 2026 | |

Day 3 on our Voyager of the Seas New Year’s Eve cruise might just be one of the most fun-packed days of the trip.

Good morning, good morning! It’s “day3” of our cruise, and we have a restaurant booking for lunch at Izumi, but first, we need to sort out a diary conflict. Later, we’re looking forward to the 70s disco party, after some fun “mini golf” and a “family friendly” performance. Join us for another exciting day onboard!

We kick things off with the Royal Murder Mystery Trivia Game, teaming up with friends to solve the case. From there, it’s off to Izumi for specialty dining lunch, followed by some downtime where we create our own fun onboard with a new card game we brought along — Flip 7.

As the sun sets, we head out for mini-golf at sea, before the night really comes alive with:

🥢Dinner in the Main Dining Room
🎤The Music in Pictures show in the Royal Theatre
🪩A full-blown 70s Disco Inferno Party on the Promenade
🎤Late-night entertainment in the Star Lounge

This video perfectly shows how sea days on Voyager of the Seas balance activities, downtime, food and night-time entertainment — especially on longer cruises.

👇 Question for you:
Are you more about organised cruise activities, or do you prefer bringing your own entertainment onboard?
