Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Our Cruise Turned Into a PIRATE PARTY! Full Day Vlog Voyager of the Seas

Sea Day Royal Caribbean on Voyager of the Seas and things got… interesting.

What started with laser tag quickly turned into a full pirate takeover onboard.

Join us for a fun-filled “day in the life” aboard our Royal Caribbean cruise! We kick things off with breakfast, then head straight into an exhilarating “laser tag” battle. Later, we’re planning a lively “pub crawl” and enjoying all the “family fun” activities this “cruise” has to offer.

🏴‍☠️ Pirate pub crawl
💍 A pirate wedding ceremony
🔔 “Captain! Ring the Bell!”
🍽 Main Dining Room lunch
🐘 Towel animal surprises
🎉 Evening parties

Sea days on Royal Caribbean are never boring — but this one was next level. This is certainly not a family friendly day at say – but is definitely LOTS of fun.

If you’re wondering what to do on a cruise sea day, here’s what happened when pirates took over our ship.

👇 Question:
Would you join a pirate pub crawl at sea?

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: No Plans in Luganville… Then We Found This 💙 Santo Blue Hole

Day 7 of our New Year cruise brings us to Luganville on the island of Espiritu Santo — home to some of Vanuatu’s most beautiful natural attractions.

Join us as we document our arrival in Luganville in this latest travel vlog. The ship’s docking process is always fascinating to watch, and we’re sharing our morning routine, including some quick breakfast ideas. This cruise adventure in Vanuatu is full of unexpected moments, even when we have no pre-booked activities.

We arrived with:
❌ No shore tour booked
❌ No fixed plan
❌ No idea what to expect

And then we discovered the breathtaking Nanda (Jackies) Blue Hole. Now on of our Top Travel Recommendations.

Crystal clear freshwater. Lush jungle surrounds. Almost surreal.

Did we accidentally walk into paradise?

After exploring Luganville town and doing a short walking tour, we head back onboard Voyager of the Seas for:

🍝 Giovanni’s Italian dinner
🎉 80s Night
⚓ Anchors Aweigh
🎶 Cruise theme party

If you’re cruising to Santo or Luganville with Royal Caribbean, this is a must-watch port day guide.

👇 Question:
Would you explore without a booked excursion?

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Tastes of Asia Mystery Trivia and 70s Disco Party on Voyager of the Seas

Day 3 on our Voyager of the Seas New Year’s Eve cruise might just be one of the most fun-packed days of the trip.

Good morning, good morning! It’s “day3” of our cruise, and we have a restaurant booking for lunch at Izumi, but first, we need to sort out a diary conflict. Later, we’re looking forward to the 70s disco party, after some fun “mini golf” and a “family friendly” performance. Join us for another exciting day onboard!

We kick things off with the Royal Murder Mystery Trivia Game, teaming up with friends to solve the case. From there, it’s off to Izumi for specialty dining lunch, followed by some downtime where we create our own fun onboard with a new card game we brought along — Flip 7.

As the sun sets, we head out for mini-golf at sea, before the night really comes alive with:

🥢Dinner in the Main Dining Room
🎤The Music in Pictures show in the Royal Theatre
🪩A full-blown 70s Disco Inferno Party on the Promenade
🎤Late-night entertainment in the Star Lounge

This video perfectly shows how sea days on Voyager of the Seas balance activities, downtime, food and night-time entertainment — especially on longer cruises.

👇 Question for you:
Are you more about organised cruise activities, or do you prefer bringing your own entertainment onboard?
