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?

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: “Confidential Discussions” 👀 Royal Caribbean’s BIG Plans for Australia?

Posted by | Feb 14, 2026 | |

We’re currently sailing on Anthem of the Seas and had the opportunity to ask a question during the Captain’s Corner… and the answer has us thinking 🤔

After mentioning he had recently visited Lelepa, the Captain spoke about “confidential discussions” regarding year-round cruising in Australia — and even hinted at the possibility of bigger ships.

Could Royal Caribbean be planning something major for Australia?

In this short update, we share exactly what was said, what it could mean for Aussie cruisers, and why this might be big news for Brisbane and Sydney.

Welcome to Day 3 on Voyager of the Seas, our final day onboard sailing from Brisbane, Australia 🚢🇦🇺

This day was packed with fun, games, walks around the ship, and meeting lots of fellow cruisers — exactly what a final cruise day should be like. But late in the evening, the atmosphere changed when a scary incident occurred that required ship security (not involving us).

In this Day 3 vlog, you’ll see:
• Windjammer breakfast and classic “Washy Washy”
• A fun Cruise Murder Mystery game
• Why we say avoid Chops Grille (this time!)
• Ice cream stops (always important 🍦)
• Family-friendly deck activities
• The daily cruise program
• 80s Night & the 80s Party
• A busy Royal Promenade
• And finally… a moment that genuinely shook the vibe of the ship

This video wraps up our Voyager of the Seas Brisbane series, including first impressions, cabin tours, dining experiences, and daily cruise life.
