Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Crazy Rocky Seas On Our Cruise Adventure!

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Crazy Rocky Seas On Our Cruise Adventure!

by | Jun 3, 2025 | | 0 |

This is it… the final day of our last ever P&O Australia cruise aboard the Pacific Encounter. 🌊💔
The seas were rough, the vibe was emotional, and we closed this chapter of cruising with denim, dancing, and a heartfelt montage of P&O memories.

⚠️ With cyclone weather impacting the itinerary, we took a slower pace, showed you the swells from around the ship, enjoyed the Double Denim Party, and caught an awesome performance by the Rebels of Retro.

But the real highlight? Stick around to the end for our farewell tribute montage — a 5+ minute celebration of our favourite P&O cruising memories from over the years. 🎥💙

From the Pacific Dawn to the Pacific Encounter — thank you, P&O Australia. You were a huge part of our cruising story. 🚢

Deb & Matt Chat on YT: 90s Icons, Cruise Chaos & Matt’s Unexpected Work at sea Day | Day 2 of Our Final P&O Cruise

by | May 23, 2025 | | 0 |

Day 2 of our Farewell P&O Australia Cruise is here — and what a mix of mayhem and magic! 💼🌪️🎉
While the cyclone continues to interrupt the cruise plans, Matt is unexpectedly pulled into work mode (yes, even at sea 😅), and Deb gets stuck into 90s trivia, themed parties, and some well-earned solo exploring.

We catch up with cruise friends Rob & Ali, hand out some surprise gifts to viewers, and cap the night off with a Matrix-inspired 90s icon party and a fantastic show by Andrew De Silva (CDB) — and yes, the Spice Girls, Power Rangers, and Forrest Gump all made an appearance!

It’s the end of an era! Join us as we set sail on our very last P&O Australia cruise aboard the Pacific Encounter — now rebranded as Carnival Encounter. This isn’t your average embarkation day… delays, disorganisation, and an approaching cyclone made for a chaotic start to our nostalgic 90s themed cruise! 🌪️🕺

From long lines at the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal to unexpected boarding hiccups, we take you behind the scenes of this unforgettable embarkation experience. But it’s not all stress — once onboard, we dive into delicious dining, get into the 90s party spirit, and reconnect with cruise creator friends like Rob & Ali from Robynellic.

🚢 Whether you’re a die-hard P&O fan, curious about the Carnival switchover, or just love a good cruise vlog, this is the perfect kickoff to our brand-new series.
