If you're struggling with taking too many liquids (or travelling for a longer time), then sard soap or Dr. Bronner castile soap is fantastic (especially Dr Bonners with their different scents, it makes your clothes smell amazing)
@melw3518 Great suggestion. That Dr Bonner Catstile Soap is a must pack. Very useful.
How is the balcony? I didn't see that.
Hi Janet, the footage wasn't able to be used unfortunately. The Balacony has two semi-reclining deck chairs and two foot stools. Check out this video which is a very similar cabin. The review has a section around the 11:50 mark. The balcony is near identical. th-cam.com/video/Xy7R-2Kt6L4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=a-pzKJjFaec3WcZC
Great video guys. Can't wait to groove with you again soon.
Looking forward to it.
Hi Deb and Matt enjoyed your video. Sounds like you had a fabulous time.
Thanks Joanne. It's always fun to look back and reflect on the adventures we have together. There was certainly a lot more indoor time than usual, but there were so many fun activities we really didn't miss it. Next stop the 80s!
@@debandmattchat I look forward to seeing your videos and your reviews. Great job guys. 👍
Thank you so much. This is the Best checking video. You answer all my questions. And you are the only one who shows how to check in from the desktop. I ❤ it
Thank you. We really appreciate your kind words and it means a lot to know that we were able to help you out.
Loving your videos Deb and Matt. Very informative. Keep it up. Always on the look out for new videos.
@@Joanneklonaris Thank you so much.
Did you book this category or did you do a bid upgrade?
We specifically booked this category on this trip as we had our son with us. It was more about the bedding configuration.
No worries, we hope the video helps ❤
Thanks guys. For the info.
Our pleasure!
Disco glam on my bucket list. Thanks you 2 😃
You will love it ❤️🕺
This really makes me want to try the Disco cruise.
@user-zd9oh2wn5m We highly recommend it. It was so much fun. Keep watching because at the end of August we are also heading on an 80s cruise.
matt is very shy type
🤣That he certainly is not. 🤣 Just saving his energy for the epic moments!
Looked like a good fun trip guys. I'm liking the lanyards you had made, looking professional 👍👍
It was an absolute blast and would highly recommend it. So much fun and energy for a short cruise and we have an 80s and 90s cruise booked too. The lanyards arrived just before this cruise and they are great. And compatible with all cruise lines.
Nice work, have a good day
Thank you! Cheers!
Only autistic people could enjoy this content, more please
Thanks Charlie. We love making videos and sharing what we learn along the way. We hope it helps.
hi Deb and Matt the food at Luke’s looks amazing will need to try it next time I’m on the adventure. Noah’s birthday cake looked yummy. Loved your outfits really colourful. I have to say this cruise looks good. Will need to try it. Keep the videos coming. Look forward to the next video. 👍
Thanks Joanne. 💓As Deb mentioned in this video is was probably one of the most fun cruises we have been on. Lukes is certainly great. We dont visit on every P&O cruise, but we certainly do enjoy it for special occasions and Noah was pretty chuffed. They cake was beautiful. 🍰🍰🎂🎂
Looked so much fun. 🤩
We packed so much fun in to this cruise. It was a real blast! 🕺
RCA is a rip off should be in Australian dollars while sailing out of Australia
I can definitely see where you're coming from. It would make things much simpler for everyone involved if prices were in Australian dollars while sailing out of Australia! With that said, you do pay in Aussie dollars for anything purchased before hand through the app or the website. eg activities, dining packages, drinks packages, shore tours etc. Its only when onboard purchases are made that passengers are charged in USD. Even if they did charge in AUD the price wouldn't change because they would adjust for the exchange rate. And this isn't uncommon. Many cruise lines charge in USD that visit Australia it really is only P&O/Carnival/Princess that offer the AUD option and for Princess it isn't all sailings.
I go to Luke's at least once on every cruise it is a treat I will be going to Luke's next cruise too and Happy Birthday to Noah too
It is a nice treat to have. We don't visit every time. But we do try and align it with birthdays, anniversaries and the occasional date night.
Wow, it's amazing how much fun you can fit into one day and not a single car ride or Uber ❤
One of the reasons we love cruising so much, especially from our home port. The holiday starts straight away.
Love the outfits. Totally awesome haha.
Thanks this was such a fun Cruise. We have an 80s cruise coming up so more costumes on the way.
Loved the groovy moves. Noah is lovely, forever smiling and he looked like he had a ball. I cracked up when you had your wigs on when you were boarding the ship, then in the background you can see Noah in his blond wig.
Noah certainly oozes happy. Deb got her groove on more on Day 2 and 3. Just wait for the dance class 🤣🤣
Glad you guys went on the glam cruise and when Voyager goes to Brisbane i will be sailing on her in 2026 she is on my bucket list cant wait
It was a lot of fun. We are booked on a couple of cruises on Voyager when she returns to Brisbane. Should be a lot of fun when she arrives. 🛳🛳🚢🚢
Those outfits are gold! 😂 so spewing I missed it. Looked sooo much fun.
We didn't even come close to the best costume either. Everyone was totally into the theme it was great.
@@debandmattchat I love that!
@@CruiseCrazedFam It was very cool
like the outfits guys. You all looked the part. Keep the videos coming.
We looked it but were certainly feeling a little flat that day. The early morning slip up took away a little of the day 1 energy. It was so great though with all the cruisers getting into the Disco Glam theme.
@@debandmattchat hi Deb and Matt yeah it looked really fun like Ami said. Might try it next time. Interested to see the rest of your time on the cruise.
@@Joanneklonaris Highly recommend it. It was one of the most energetic cruises we have ever done. The onboard crew did an amazing job.
It's an outrageously large area to rope off for exclusive access for suite guests on a ship like Adventure/Encounter. Meanwhile, everyone else is crowded into the non-exlusive areas if they want to enjoy being outdoors on this ship. I just don't understand this as a business decision by P&O - people are going to cruise on this ship and decide "never again", or potential guests like me are going to be turned off the whole idea and choose a different ship. Hopefully Carnival have better sense.
Its not uncommon for cruise ships to have areas that are "exclusive" to guests in a suite or with a higher tier of loyalty status. The interesting thing with Byron Beach Club on Pacific Adventure is that it is slightly larger than on Pacific Encounter. In the grand scheme its actually not a lot of space. At the end of the day people will always choose whats right for them. Some people prefer smaller ships, some larger. Some like ships with lots of activities, some don't. The great thing about cruising is there are so many choices.
Thanks for sharing this info, we haven't booked Byron yet.
On our last cruise it was quite cold, so we barely visited. However when we were in warmer weather we used it extensively. So our suggestion would be consider what time of year you are sailing as you may not be spending a lot of time there in the winter months.
Yuck, could think of nothing worse
@@tyeueyu Not a fan of cruising?
Look at you guys living the suite life.
Hahaha. We had noah for this one. A Standard cabin would have meant separate beds for us, as we had Noah too, and the price was right. Not often we do something like this.
@@mattconstance2196 makes sense to me.
looked good. 👍 liking your videos as well.
Thanks Joanne, we appreciate you watching them ❤
I was in one just up from you, i really enjoyed it.
Oh awesome Belinda, it was such a fantastic trip. We will have lots of videos to come ❤
Looking forward to it.
We just need to spend some time putting all the videos we did together as we took a few lol (well when I say we I mean Matt as he is the editor) I just do star jumps on the balcony 😂
Pity they are moored in Jervis Bay atm
Hi there, no we got off this ship this morning, news reports we heard said we were still in Jervis Bay, but we made it back this morning on schedule 😊
Saw you on the cruise
Oh nice next time you see us please come and say hi 👋
After watching ur video i wont get of the ship so i will sit by the pool i knew its not the best cruise terminal never heard of a terminal that doesn't provide public transport sorry Qld u wont get my money
Stay tuned there are rumours of public transport connections via ferry coming soon. We have a video coming in the next couple of weeks about this. Don't forget to subscribe.
Get it Deb 💃🏻
Haha it was a lot of fun such a great cruise
Thanks guys, was a fantastic night.. great to meet you all.
It certainly was a great night. We are on pacific adventure right now and the chefs table is the same menu, so tempting as it was soooo good.
Nice. I like that. I hope they have that QR code for services when I go on next march. Thanks deb and Matt. 👍
Hey Joanne, I have no reason to think they won't have it onboard in March. What cruise are you doing?
@@debandmattchat im going to new Zealand
@@debandmattchat hi deb and Matt can I ask when do I find out what theme nights royal will have for when I go on my cruise??
This looks amazing guys. We might need to try it and Deb, you looked stunning. 😍
From a value for money perspective, it was amazing. Definitely a different Chefs table experience compared to others such as on Royal Caribbean, but thoroughly enjoyable. P&O sell these "onboard only" for their shorter sailings.
@@debandmattchat we are yet to do a chefs table. If we can get a chance without kids we might need to. 😁
@CruiseCrazedFam We love doing them, but not too often 🤑. It is really surprising how different they are between brands and even ships within he same brand.
Hey guys would you know if they have an option for non drinkers and if so, the cost ?
@@jammo4747 We haven't see reduced prices for a Chefs Table experience on any cruise for non-drinkers. What we have seen is alternatives offered, such as mocktails and other refreshments. Even if you weren't having the wines, it would still be worth it in our view, given you get very well sized meals and you get the galley tour.
I didn't want to spend the money but The Key sounds like I'll enjoy embarking and disembarking plus meeting others who bought The Key at lunch when we meet for a couple of meals. Just bought the key at $37/day and I feel just so ... RELIEVED knowing I won't have to stand around losing my patience getting on and off the ship. Thanks!
@SoCalCycleLawyer thanks for the message, yes we agree the line ups can be something that makes you lose patience lol. We hope it makes your trip more enjoyable and love hearing about your experience after your cruise.
Thanks for showing us the Brissy cruise Port terminal
Now you know for when you guys head this way for a cruise!
do u need travel insurance from sydney to brisbane by a cruise
Hi Ash, We always recommend travel insurance. It's important to remember that travel insurance doesn't just cover you while you are on your cruise, but also protects your outlay before you cruise. If the worst happened and you were involved in some sort of accident before you cruise, the travel insurance will often cover cancellations etc. Obviously each policy is different, but we never leave home without it. It is also important to remember that Medicare (If Australian)does not cover any costs onboard, nor does private health insurance and if something did happen you would want to be protected financially.

Best joke ever, telling my husband the same joke now 😅
Because of this video I have brought the key to help all 5 of us we are on anthem out of Southampton next week and yours was the best explanation I have heard
Hi there, we are so happy to hear you found the video helpful. We looked up your cruise and we are very jealous, it sounds amazing. We hope you all have a fantastic time and look forward to hearing how you felt the key did, or didn't benefit you all. Happy Cruising
Thank you we are looking to go on a trip around Australia and New Zealand. When we are ready to go over there. We have visit family in New Zealand a few times, so looking forward to a trip to Australia
There are plenty of great cruises from Australia to New Zealand, and some other great cruise destinations too. In the mean time enjoy your cruise next week. 🛳️🚢
Do you get internet for each person in the room? We will have two people, so do we get one device each or do we have to share?
@@karriestewart1462 You sure do. The Internet is for one device per person who has the Key Package.
When we boarded in Honolulu last year, the debarkation from Australia had been delayed. I think many people came way early for embarcation, so terminals was full of people waiting to board. We had the key, so we found an employee and asked him where to go. He let us through, so we were on the ship in less than 10 minutes. We enjoyed some of the onboard benfits. We felt it was worth it for us.
That's a really good point. It certainly does help with getting through crowds on embarkation day.
Great idea! I think if you have one already, you could use a swimmer's dry bag / swim buoy - they are similar configuration to keep water out, not in, but they should work as well.
It's definitely a possibility, although you would want one that is a bit drippy, many of those can be ber rather smooth in our experience and might not release the dirt well. It's a great idea to consider though if you have one on hand.
OMG, you two are hilarious. What a wonderful way too propose. Matt you’re such a romantic. I love Deb’s reaction 😂
A romantic "kidnapper" 🤣 Thanks for watching. We certainly do enjoy laughing our way through life together.
Hi deb looks like a good idea. Just a question does this tear your clothes at all? Im on the royal next march and unfortunately as you know they don’t have do it yourself laundry facilities.
Hey there, this bag certainly doesn't tear at your clothes they are like little silicone bubble type things lol sorry not the best description but very soft on your clothes. I will be taking mine on all our royal trips.
Hi deb I got one for my cruises next year. Thank you for the video oh and I also brought a clothes line too. Thanks again 👍
Oh awesome let me know how it goes for you ❤
