Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Dear Michael Bayley… We Have 3 Wishes for Royal Caribbean in 🇦🇺👀

by Deb & Matt | Feb 19, 2026 | YouTube: Deb And Matt Chat | 0 |

We filmed this at dinner onboard ⁨@RoyalCaribbeanAUNZ Anthem of the Seas Cruise Ship— and it might be our cheekiest video yet 😅

Dear Michael Bayley…

We have THREE humble wishes:

🇦🇺 Year-round Royal Caribbean cruising in Australia
🌴 An announcement date for Lelepa
🥧 And… we need to talk about the goat cheese tart

During the Captain’s Corner onboard Anthem, Matt asked about year-round cruising in Australia — and the whole theatre CHEERED. 👏

So we thought… why not make it official?

Let’s see if this makes it to Miami 👀

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

by Deb & Matt | Jan 19, 2024 | YouTube: Deb And Matt Chat | 0 |

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.
