Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Transpacific Cruise Vlog Day 11 and 12 Deb Gets Sick

by Deb & Matt | Nov 21, 2024 | YouTube: Deb And Matt Chat | 0 |

While things start out ok on Day 11, by Day 12 it is clear Deb is not very well. Find out how she gets on in this latest cruise Vlog from our Transpacific Cruise on Royal Caribbean Ovation of the Seas.
We also caught up with Scott and Leanne a.k.a “CruisingTravellers” on Instagram.

Matt and Noah also have a boys date and enjoy the wonderful Jamies Restaurant again, while checking out the “sexiest man” competition and Matt maybe spends a little too long one night at the Bar in Boleros.
