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

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 β€” 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!) β€” 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.

πŸ›Œ Thinking of booking a Virtual Balcony cabin? Watch this review first!

πŸŽ₯ 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.

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Is it worth it? Royal Caribbean Quantum of the Seas Sampler Cruise

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!

πŸ“ Plus, we break down the value, vibe, and vibe-check of these short getaways β€” including a look at whether the reputation for rowdy weekends holds up.
