Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Black Friday Travel DEALS + This Week’s Cruise Headlines | LIVE with Deb & Matt

by | Nov 19, 2025 | | 0 |

Join Deb & Matt LIVE for this week’s Let’s Chat About It — packed full of cruise news, travel updates and our favourite Black Friday travel deals!

Here’s what we’re diving into this week:
🚢 Virgin Voyages Black Friday Mega Sale

Virgin releases its lowest fares ever and offers up to 70% off the second sailor, plus bonus bar tabs — one of the biggest promotions they’ve ever run. Great deals on 2024–26 sailings.

🍽️ Carnival Expands Adults-Only Premium Menu

Carnival is expanding its premium dining menus across adults-only sailings, improving entrée quality, dessert options, and elevated specialty offerings.

Carnival Launches New Zero-Alcohol Drinks Package

Carnival unveils a new zero-proof beverage package, but there’s controversy: not all inclusions from the alcoholic packages carry over, meaning guests may still face gaps in value.

Celebrity Cruises 2027–28 Edge-Class Sailings

Celebrity reveals new Australia & New Zealand itineraries aboard Edge-class ships, with prices starting from $200 per night, offering premium experiences at competitive pricing.

PLUS — OUR FAVOURITE BLACK FRIDAY TRAVEL DEALS

Cruises, flights, hotels and travel tech we actually recommend — with real value, not gimmicks.
