Embarkation day is always chaotic — and this Voyager of the Seas New Year’s Eve cruise was no exception.

G’day everyone! Join us for a new “cruise vlog” as we begin our adventure aboard the “voyager of the seas royal caribbean”. This “embarkation” day from “Brisbane” marks the start of our nine-night South Pacific journey, and we’re excited to share every moment with you. We’re joined by Noah and Grandma, making this a true “deb and matt chat” family affair, showcasing the best of “royal caribbean australia”!

In this video, we take you through embarkation day from start to finish, boarding Voyager of the Seas at the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal for a 9-night South Pacific cruise.

We cover everything you actually want to know:

🌴What the Brisbane cruise terminal experience is really like
🌴Coffee & gift shop stops before boarding
🌴Boarding problems and delays
🌴Whether The Key has lost its value
🌴Casino walkthrough, muster drill & Royal Promenade atmosphere
🌴First impressions from Noah and Grandma
🌴The Key lunch, baggage drop & day-one specials
🌴Waterslides, FlowRider, teen lounge & sports areas
🌴Sailaway party chaos (yes… conga line included)
🌴Dinner, closed decks, rough seas & night-one vibes

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Voyager of the Seas Promenade Cabin 8533

We’re back on Voyager of the Seas for a 9-night New Year’s Eve South Pacific cruise, and we’re kicking off this cruise news series with a full cabin tour!

In this video, we take you inside Promenade View Cabin 8533, an interconnecting interior promenade cabin (connecting with 8555). We break down storage, bathroom size, power points, bedside tables, lighting, privacy, noise levels, and what it’s really like to sleep with the Royal Promenade just outside your window.

If you’re considering a Promenade View Cabin on Voyager of the Seas, or deciding between an interior, promenade, or balcony cabin — this review is for you.

We also cover:
✅Set Sail Pass & cabin entry
✅Limited cupboard space (yes… only one!)
✅Shower size and bathroom layout
✅TV placement and bedside lighting
✅Cabin power limitations
✅Privacy concerns and noise levels from the Promenade

👉 This is an honest, real-world cabin review filmed on board during a busy New Year’s cruise — no fluff, just the details you actually need before booking.

👇 Let us know in the comments:
Would you choose a Promenade View Cabin, or is a balcony still king?
