Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Everything Was Fun… Until This Happened | Voyager of the Seas

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).

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.

G’day everyone! Join us for an `end of year` `youtube recap` as we reflect on 2025. We’re sharing our top 10 `likes and dislikes`, `ranking` our most memorable moments, and even some shocking ones from our `travel vlog` adventures. This `daily vlog` is a bit different, but we hope you enjoy our `year in review`!

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on our cruise and travel highlights and low lights of the year — and sharing them with you in this special Merry Christmas end-of-year episode 🎄🚢

This is an honest, reflective, and fun look back at a huge year of cruising — from incredible ships and destinations to things we definitely hope not to repeat next year.

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Royal Caribbean Room 7311 Cabin Tour | Voyager of the Seas

Posted by Deb & Matt | Dec 18, 2025 | YouTube: Deb And Matt Chat |

This is our first impressions cabin tour of Promenade View Interior Cabin 7311 on Voyager of the Seas, sailing from Brisbane, Australia 🚢🇦🇺

We’re onboard the “voyager of the seas royal caribbean” for an exclusive “cabin tour” of room 7311. This “royal caribbean cruise” adventure begins with us showing you the initial view of our “voyager of the seas interior stateroom” and its amenities. 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?

In this detailed cabin tour, we show you:
• The layout and storage
• Bathroom and shower setup
• Bed comfort
• Power points & charging (⚠️ important!)
• Cooler box vs fridge
• Air conditioning controls
• Promenade views — day & night

⚠️ Important warning for cruisers: this cabin has ZERO bedside power, which may be a deal-breaker for some guests.

This video is part of our Voyager of the Seas Brisbane series, including ship tours, dining reviews, daily vlogs, and an end-of-trip cabin review later in the cruise.

If you’re cruising Voyager of the Seas, choosing between an interior, promenade view, ocean view or balcony cabin, or planning your first Royal Caribbean cruise — this video is for you.
