Join Deb and Matt as they enjoy a **cruise** and spend a relaxing second day in **Hobart** after getting off the **Ovation of the Seas cruise** ship. They explore the city, enjoy some sightseeing, and try local food while taking it easy on this **royal caribbean** trip, after their time on the **ovation of the seas**.
🌄 After a dramatic few days, we take it slow in Hobart.
In this voiceover-style vlog, we bring you along for a relaxed day of recovery, reflection, and beautiful Tasmanian scenery as we spend our second day docked in Hobart aboard Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas.
🗻 We visit the summit of Mt Wellington (Kunanyi), stroll the Hobart waterfront, grab a bite from local cafes, and share snippets from our downtime onboard the ship.
This isn’t our usual vlog format — but after the medical emergency, this slower day gave us time to recharge and appreciate the cruise in a different way.
✨ In this episode:
Our slow cruise day in Hobart
Stunning views from Mt Wellington
Local life, coffee, and quiet moments

🛳️ After a medical emergency at sea, we’re sitting down to share everything that happened — and most importantly, why travel insurance matters, even for cruises within your home country.
Join Deb and Matt as they recount their first day in Hobart, sharing unexpected moments from their **Hobart trip**. They reflect on their experiences and provide a behind-the-scenes look at their unexpected health scare onboard the Ovation of the Seas Cruise and their hospital emergency visit in **Hobart** that limited their **tasmania travel** adventure.
In this candid and emotional video, we explain:
⚠️ How the medical emergency unfolded
🚑 What happened in the ship’s Medical Centre
🏥 Our experience at Royal Hobart Hospital
💸 The real costs involved – both onboard and onshore
📑 The critical importance of travel insurance – even for a domestic cruise
🎥 This video is both a Day 3 recap and a wake-up call for anyone cruising without travel insurance.
We share our experience so that you don’t make the same mistake… or face the same risks.
