Cruise Like a PRO with These Cabin Storage Hacks!
I've flown from Perth to Auckland twice for cruises. Given Freo has been dumped by most cruise lines now as a HomePort , looks like I will be flying more to get on cruises. Probably Singapore for me , it's often cheaper than Sydney or Brisbane.
Enjoy watching your vids and the insights ❤ Thanks and keep it up 👍 🎉
Hi everyone
👋 Hi there.
Hi Deb and Matt, Other great video. Can’t wait to see all your Adventures.😊
Hi Deb and Matt. I have found this video very useful. My wife and I live in Hobart and I was wondering if you would know if it’s Australian Eastern Standard time for check in. We are an hour in front of Brisbane here and I want to do the check in tonight. Thanks
Hi There, welcome aboard. We have found that it is always midnight at the port you are disembarking from. We are in Brisbane, so our upcoming Quantum cruise was midnight here, but our upcoming Ovation cruise out of Sydney was 11pm here at home (Midnight Sydney with daylight savings). It was the same for our Transpacific Cruise from Hawaii, it was midnight Hawaii/Honolulu time. Usually, the app and website take a few minutes to update, so it might be like 5 past the hour, and the app always seems a minute or two before the website. Hope this helps.
We’ll be on the Anthem twice next year so we’re anxious to see your future videos. We’re scheduled to sail out of Singapore in three weeks but Tracy fell and fractured her leg. We’ll find out tomorrow (hopefully) if she needs surgery or if she’ll be okay to travel (we’re supposed fly in two days). It’s life
Oh no! Hope Tracy can recover quickly! Sending prayers 🙏 As well as the vlogs, we will be releasing a video with an overview of the ship.
@ Thank you!
We always stay up on Orchard Rd.
Great location.
Just get a grab or if you have more time take the MRT. Bugis isn't a bad area to stay
Grab is very easy to use in Singapore, and usually do use the MRT a lot to get around because it is so cost effective. We have often stayed at Lavender in the past and this is just ever so slight closer in. It's a great location, we highly recommend it.
Enjoying your videos, have a great adventure . Ali from Rob & Ali ❤
Thank Ali.
what seat numbers are you in please?
We had Economy Seat 42A & 42B on the way over to Singapore and then 42B & 42C on the way back. Good seats. Quick to get on and off the plane. It was one row behind the bulkhead so there were a couple of babies in flight capsules nearby but that weren't too noisy and settled well.
great to hear your commentary guys, we will be flying the same route in a few days, my apprehension was actually about the airport experience
Brisbane is a "better than good" airport. Not great but certainly not bad by any stretch - apart from the bit of construction noise at the moment we are always comfortable there. Changi is a beast! Very efficient but VERY big. Enjoy your trip. Are you heading beyond Singapore?
Hey Guys, Looking forward to seeing all your trip ❤ We have flown to Italy x 2 UK Singapore and Japan through to Alaska. Cheers Guys 🥂
Wow you guys are seeing some great sights! thanks for sharing.
Hello Deb and Matt I have flown to Singapore to join Ovation also Lhr to cruise out of Southampton many times to the Baltic and Europe our choices are not great here we join Queen Anne in Auckland on the 23rd a sector of her maiden World Voyage.
Thanks for joining our travel adventures 🛳✈️. We really enjoy flying to other locations to cruise. It's such a great way to see the world. The Queen Anne looks like an amazing ship. We look forward to doing a Cunard cruise one day.
What a beautiful day at Mystery Island, and Chefs table looked great, wine and all 😂
It was a beautiful day indeed. And all that wine at the Chefs Table....We swear it was rocky seas 🌊 that had us wobbly 😉😂
We went to Noumea December 2023, and it was okay. It was too hot to explore 😄.
@LizelleWraight Ut certainly can get quite humid and hot there. We have been there on some shockingly hot days. Luckily this one wasn't too bad.
Great Barrier Reef in Jan 2026
Oh Nice. Certainly get to take in some beautiful sights on that cruise. Enjoy, Thanks tor watching. 🛳🚢
Gbr
The reef is such a beautiful place to cruise. Enjoy!🚢
Enjoy Princess! Been on a cruise to NZ on the Royal Princess and quick Syd to Melb on the Grand Princess. I’m curious what you think of Coral since it looks to be the same class ship as the Encounter/Adventure…Will you be trying the plus or premier packages? I think Princess gets the ‘old people’ rep because they don’t have any waterslides or many kids activities. I quite like them for value, right mix of price to quality ratio I think
Yeah we are keen to see what it's like compared to the others. From memory we have the plus package for them.
Thanks for the info, especially the challenges with the bow thrusters and being located above the theatre 👍 interesting that the ship would be shutting off the a/c at night - cant imagine that would fun for guests that would be sleeping without ventilation, inside and ocean view cabins especially since they won’t even be able to open a window
We don't think it goes off completely but may just be lowered to a low fan, we just love being cold and under the blankets lol
I got an obstructed window on my next cruise on Adventure in March
We have had obstructed ocean views a few times on Pacific Encounter. We dont mind them. Deck 8 is a very convenient deck to be located on.
Should have asked for a fan
True that is an option. Now someone fanning us while sitting on that massive deck would have been nice 🤣
@debandmattchat just need to pay for my fare i can fan you LOL
Thanx guys, appreciate your updates so much
Our pleasure. Glad you're finding them helpful.
Watching from Mackay!
Love visiting up there.
Oh WOW!! That’s cray cray! 🤣 No, seriously, how exciting for you! I’ll be on the first cruise for Carnival Encounter too!
It is a little crazy....As it gets closer that realisation is starting to hit us 🤣 Looking forward to seeing you on cruise #5 😎🛳
Thank you for your time in putting this together. Cheers
Our pleasure. We hope you found it useful.
bloopers yes
Gotta love a few bloopers 🤣
What are you anthem sail dates? Be cool to see you on board! Making the trek from brissy for our first rc cruise!
We just finished on Anthem in Singapore last week. We will be back on her in October for her first 3 nighter when she arrives in Australia.
We had rain when we were in Noumea in March 2024 and couldn't even see Lemon Bay! We did part of the hop-on-hop-off bus, found out the aquarium wasn't open until 1pm and decided to go back on the bus to the terminal. We weren't supposed to go again on our next cruise, but due to the Port Vila Earthquake we will now be going to Noumea but on a Monday so some things will be closed ie cultural centre and markets. One thing to point out about the scooters etc is that you need to check you're covered by your travel insurance, as they're usually an extra
Very good point about insurance. Hope you enjoy your visit to Noumea. It is such a shame what happened in Port Villa.
Yes Back In 1988😊
So just a couple of years ago 🤣
Hi Like your Vlog’s what currency did you use in Noumea, please… thanks
Hi Mark, The stalls at the ferry terminal all took AUD, USD and Franc. Many of the also had card facilities. So we used Aussie cash to pay for the Train and Google Pay at the patisserie.
I will look forward to getting back to Noumea again now that things are good there again
Still a few restrictions in the outer area, apparently, but yes, we felt very, very safe.
do you believe the cabin was worth the money?
Yes definitely. We were obviously travelling peak season and it was a longer cruise. But this balcony is so well protected from the weather that we used it ALOT. We would book this cabin again in in a heartbeat. It's important to remember though sometimes "worth the money" means different things to different people. For us it means different things depending on the cruise, ship, length of time, destinations and of course price difference between Interior, Ocean view and balcony etc
Lovely to see Noumea again. Have a really soft spot for it as it was my 1st overseas holiday! Flew there with my sister for 2 weeks when I was 18. We took a very small boat to Amadee Island too! I know many people don't like it but I feel if you go to Duck or Signal Islands or down to the morning markets and boat harbour, it's lovely! Love the patisserie too!
It is certainly a beautiful place. Glad we could get out and do something "easy" with our parents on this one, snorkelling at one of the smaller islands is definitely on the list for one of next visits.
Geeez.....you guys won LOTTO or something!????😂
Haha we wish. No just careful planning, booking early and taking advantage or special offers.
Queensland!
Yep our home port is Brisbane. So a number of starts will be from here.
You both enjoyed it all and wow the food at Chef's Table
It certainly was a great experience actually sharing it with the whole family. And it was a spectacular day with them at Mystery Island too.
We had the same experience on Ovation of the seas last year getting onto mystery island. Love mystery island
It certainly can be a challenge getting in there sometimes. Unfortunately, the announcements that were being made didn't always correlate to what we could see or were experiencing but that's ok, not every day can be a perfect one. It was still a beautiful day.
Hey guys what website did you use to book your cabana on mystery island? Great video as always!
Hey there, the website is mysteryislandtours.com
See you soon guys, your chef table waiter sailesh ❤❤
Looking forward to it.
Thank you for all the videos you guys put up i have a silly question to ask if that's ok? My bestie and I are organising our first international cruise and would love to try snorkelling and my question is what sort of camera do you use to Abe able to see all those amazing colours of the fish and reef??? This would be very helpful, thank you so much 😊
How exciting for you, and not a silly question at all. We use the DJI Action 4 for our snorkelling.
@debandmattchat awesome thank you so much this will help for our future new adventures to come and would love to use something that shows awesome colours so I can show my kids all the different fish in the world :) Thank you for the advise you give its so helpful thank you and thank you for the videos they are so amazing to watch and learn from. :)
Thank you so much for the lovely comments, we love that they help people. Thanks for watching and it sounds like you have some great adventures coming up
@debandmattchat we sure do have some new ones coming even though we can only do 1 a year but we make sure they are great ones so next year we are looking into our first international cruise which will be so exciting for us and new as we have never left Australia. Bring on cruising ❤
Oh how exciting look forward to hearing what you choose
Good video, it's funny I've been there 4 times and it's never been sunny, always cloudy or raining
We watched rain dance around the island all day that day.
Wow them room's are tiny compared to splendour and luminosa, not much desk space and no lounge,
This wasn't a mini-suite. This was a straight up Balcony room. Our room on Splendor did have more desk space, but no lounge.
@debandmattchat every balcony and ocean view room I've ever had on splendor has had a lounge, i usually sleep on it as its better for my back
Thanks for another great video.
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.🛳
I love mystery island we were supposed to do this on our last cruise the South Pacific but we ended up in QLD instead as they rescheduled our whole cruise we were a bit sad as the kids would have loved it. Maybe next year!!
That is awesome shame, it's one of our favourite places, hopefully you get there next year
cruising on splender in August and Encounter in sept
Oh how exciting we hope you have an amazing time
Bendigo
Thanks for watching, we hope you still get to do some cruising even though there is unfortunately no more cruises out of Melbourne at this stage
Not sure what was happening but the sound cut out a lot, so I missed a lot
Hello, I'm sorry you had issues with the sound, not sure why. I just watched it again and had no audio issues so not sure what happened for you.
I can relate to waking up too early in the morning on the first morning on a cruise, yes those white parties are great they are good value and the changes to itinerary I am flexible with it, as it can be beyond anyone's control at times at least we are still on the ship which is the main thing. Happy birthday too
We feel the same love the sea days and we always say the ship is the destination as anything can happen with making it into ports
I was walking past these cabins and could smell bali. But I like bali flashbacks so would stay in one of these for the balcony. Looks lovely.
Oh really, we love the smell when you arrive in Bali but can't say i noticed that, definitely a good cabin though.
Great cabin tour. Do like this type of video. Also I Love the Magnets on the Cabin door. Very cool.😊
Thanks, we hope it helps people who have booked the cabin know a bit more when they book.
