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

by Deb & Matt | Dec 18, 2025 | YouTube: Deb And Matt Chat | 0 |

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.
