Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Embarkation Day 1 – Quantum of the Seas – Brisbane Australia

This video is a little bit different for us in the way it is presented. Let us know what you think.

We track our day through the ship as we board Royal Caribbean Quantum of the Seas for the first time.

We have added a clock/timer to most sections of this video so you can keep track of how long it takes though out the day. We start with boarding at the terminal, move through immigration, boarding, lunch, a spa visit, a stop at the seaplex and then through to dinner and an evening walk.

We tried to remove the background music as best we could from most segments of this video, as it was playing quite loud on some parts of the ship, unfortunately that means some of the spoken audio is a little wonky, so we have provided some commentary.

This was the December 2023 Christmas Cruise with stops in Port Villa, Noumea, & Mystery Island.

We love travel and cruising and hope you enjoy this video.

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Deck 11 Room 228 (11228) Balcony Cabin Tour Quantum of the Seas

Come with us for a quick introduction and cruise cabin tour to Cabin 11228 (Deck 11 Room 228) on Quantum of the Seas. Note that cabins are near identical on both Quantum of the Seas & Ovation of the Seas, as they are sister ships within the Royal Caribbean fleet.

This is our raw first impressions. We even get lost on the way.

We found the room to be very spacious and met all our needs. The bathroom was a great size, deck was reasonable and there was plenty of storage.

This video covers power, bathroom, bedding, storage and more.
