🚪 Welcome to our home away from home aboard Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas! In this video, we give you a full cabin tour of our Oceanview Balcony Stateroom – Cabin 12282 (Deck 12, Forward).

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Rydges Sydney Hotel Review | Best Hotel Near Overseas Passenger Terminal Circular Quay for Cruising?

A hotel stay in the heart of Sydney!
In this video, we give you a full room tour and hotel review, including what we loved (and didn’t!) about this central Sydney hotel.

Before boarding Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas, we stayed at Rydges Sydney Harbour (Australia Square) – just 850m from the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay.

We highlight features like the bedding, bathroom, and location making it one of the **best hotels in sydney**. So tune in and find out if this is a great choice for **Sydney stays**.

📍 Location-wise, it’s hard to beat – walking distance to Sydney’s major attractions like The Rocks, Circular Quay, the Sydney Opera House and, of course, the cruise terminal.

✨ Whether you’re a cruiser looking for a pre-cruise hotel or just after a city break, check out if Rydges Australia Square is worth the price tag!

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Crazy Rocky Seas On Our Cruise Adventure!

This is it… the final day of our last ever P&O Australia cruise aboard the Pacific Encounter. 🌊💔
The seas were rough, the vibe was emotional, and we closed this chapter of cruising with denim, dancing, and a heartfelt montage of P&O memories.

⚠️ With cyclone weather impacting the itinerary, we took a slower pace, showed you the swells from around the ship, enjoyed the Double Denim Party, and caught an awesome performance by the Rebels of Retro.

But the real highlight? Stick around to the end for our farewell tribute montage — a 5+ minute celebration of our favourite P&O cruising memories from over the years. 🎥💙

From the Pacific Dawn to the Pacific Encounter — thank you, P&O Australia. You were a huge part of our cruising story. 🚢

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: 90s Icons, Cruise Chaos & Matt’s Unexpected Work at sea Day | Day 2 of Our Final P&O Cruise

Day 2 of our Farewell P&O Australia Cruise is here — and what a mix of mayhem and magic! 💼🌪️🎉
While the cyclone continues to interrupt the cruise plans, Matt is unexpectedly pulled into work mode (yes, even at sea 😅), and Deb gets stuck into 90s trivia, themed parties, and some well-earned solo exploring.

We catch up with cruise friends Rob & Ali, hand out some surprise gifts to viewers, and cap the night off with a Matrix-inspired 90s icon party and a fantastic show by Andrew De Silva (CDB) — and yes, the Spice Girls, Power Rangers, and Forrest Gump all made an appearance!
