This is our end-of-cruise cabin review of our Promenade View Interior Cabin on Voyager of the Seas, sailing from Brisbane, Australia 🚢🇦🇺

• Bed and bedroom comfort
• Bedside lamps and lighting
• Shelving and storage limitations
• Accessibility issues
• Power points and charging
• A cabin fault we experienced

Posted by Deb & Matt | Dec 30, 2025 | YouTube: Deb And Matt Chat |

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).

• 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.

Join our “cruise vlog” as we explore this fantastic “royal caribbean cruise ship” and give you all the details from the bathroom to the storage areas on this amazing “cruise ship”!

Promenade View cabins are popular on Royal Caribbean ships, offering a window overlooking the Royal Promenade instead of an ocean view — but are they worth it?

• Bathroom and shower setup
• Bed comfort
• Power points & charging (⚠️ important!)
• Cooler box vs fridge
• Air conditioning controls
