Deb & Matt Chat on YT: SAVE Money! DIY Cruise Laundry

In this video Deb takes you through one of her “must pack” cruise items and how it saves us plenty money and reduces our packing needs, especially when we are on a longer #cruise. Given we no longer have to overpack and we can SAVE $$$ this is one of our favourite #cruisetips and #travelhacks for laundry.

Deb recently purchased The @Scrubba wash bag and has been testing it before our big Transpacific cruise on Ovation of the Seas. She shot this video onboard Royal Caribbean Quantum of the Seas, but the great thing is no matter where you travel this product will be useful.

Enjoy the video as she does the washing, and we end up with fresh clean laundry.

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Deck 11 Room 228 (11228) Balcony Cabin Tour Quantum of the Seas

Come with us for a quick introduction and cruise cabin tour to Cabin 11228 (Deck 11 Room 228) on Quantum of the Seas. Note that cabins are near identical on both Quantum of the Seas & Ovation of the Seas, as they are sister ships within the Royal Caribbean fleet.

This is our raw first impressions. We even get lost on the way.

We found the room to be very spacious and met all our needs. The bathroom was a great size, deck was reasonable and there was plenty of storage.

This video covers power, bathroom, bedding, storage and more.
