Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Embarkation Chaos & 90s Vibes! Our FINAL P&O Australia Cruise | Pacific Encounter to Carnival

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Embarkation Chaos & 90s Vibes! Our FINAL P&O Australia Cruise | Pacific Encounter to Carnival

by | May 21, 2025 | | 0 |

It’s the end of an era! Join us as we set sail on our very last P&O Australia cruise aboard the Pacific Encounter — now rebranded as Carnival Encounter. This isn’t your average embarkation day… delays, disorganisation, and an approaching cyclone made for a chaotic start to our nostalgic 90s themed cruise! 🌪️🕺

From long lines at the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal to unexpected boarding hiccups, we take you behind the scenes of this unforgettable embarkation experience. But it’s not all stress — once onboard, we dive into delicious dining, get into the 90s party spirit, and reconnect with cruise creator friends like Rob & Ali from Robynellic.

🚢 Whether you’re a die-hard P&O fan, curious about the Carnival switchover, or just love a good cruise vlog, this is the perfect kickoff to our brand-new series.

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Cruise Cabin Review Royal Caribbean Quantum of The Seas Virtual Balcony 10231

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Cruise Cabin Review Royal Caribbean Quantum of The Seas Virtual Balcony 10231

by | May 4, 2025 | | 0 |

What’s it really like to stay in a Virtual Balcony Cabin on a cruise?

In this video, we (Deb and Matt) give our honest review of cabin 10231 — an interior cabin with a virtual balcony aboard Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas. This is NOT the full tour (we’ve already done that in another video!) — this is all about the real experience: layout, bed comfort, cabin temperature, power points, storage space, and what worked (or didn’t) during our two-night cruise.

We also share our thoughts on whether this high-tech interior room is worth considering for your next Royal Caribbean cruise.

🛌 Thinking of booking a Virtual Balcony cabin? Watch this review first!

🎥 Already watched the full cabin tour? This video is the follow-up you need to hear how the room really stacks up once you’re living in it.

Is a 2-Night Sampler Cruise Worth It? Quantum of the Seas Weekend Review!

Welcome aboard Day 2 of our Royal Caribbean Quantum of the Seas weekend sampler cruise! In this video, we dive into the big question: Is a short two-night cruise really worth it? Or is it just a “booze cruise”?

We skip the usual vlogging and take a more reflective approach, sharing insights from our own experience and chats with fellow cruisers. From the Murder Mystery trivia and selfie scavenger hunt to big stage shows like Sequins & Feathers and 70s Disco Fever, we explore the fun, food, and frenzy that makes short cruises surprisingly impactful.

Whether you’re new to cruising, looking to test the waters, or just after a weekend escape, this video will help you decide if a sampler cruise is right for you!

📍 Plus, we break down the value, vibe, and vibe-check of these short getaways — including a look at whether the reputation for rowdy weekends holds up.
