Glad you liked the video and thanks for subscribing. We found the key to be really helpful. We will be doing a video on that in the next few weeks. We actually have two more RCCL cruises later in the year and after thinking about it have booked The Key again.

@@debandmattchat I am going on the Quantum this Friday and the video was just perfect. You looked like you had done it before! Will be watching more of your videos for sure.

[@debandmattchat]

@jordiscope7944 Quantum is an awesome ship you will have a blast.

[@dhavallrpatel6183]

Thank you folks.... we are cruising soon,,& surely your tips will help us a lot ❤

[@debandmattchat]

You're most welcome. We are currently putting more videos and aim to drop 1-2 videos each week for the next few weeks. If you have any questions drop them in the comments and we will try to answer them in an upcoming video.

@@debandmattchat - Once again thanks for your msg. I am bit confused about dressing.. Do they compel us to wear compulsory specific dressing !! Also, would appreciate based on your vital experience, what would be comfy clothes to carry at this time of the year...Do v carry formal clothes ?/. We are sailing next week..

[@debandmattchat]

@@dhavallrpatel6183 Dress is generally up to you, after all you are on holiday. With that said most cruiselines do provide guidance such as no swim suits or board shorts in the main dining rooms etc. Generally theme nights, such as formal night or A tropical night, or 70s night etc are optional. Some people love to get right in to it and we have seen plenty of tuxedos on Formal Nights, but again this is optional. For us personally, we like to dress a little nicer for dinner, but for Matt that generally just means a casual button up shirt and dress shorts. Just be mindful that some speciality dining may have more specific requirements, for example The Chefs Table experience and Restaurants like Chops Grille you will want to be dressed a little nicer. Think of it like this, at home if you went to the Food Court at a shopping center, a local Italian restaurant in your suburb, or dinner at the Hilton you would always wear something different and appropriate to that venue. During the day, at on this cruise, Matt wears Polo shirts, Linen Shirts and T-Shirts, with Shorts and long pants sometimes at dinner. Deb, shorts, shirts and long dresses. Be mindful if cruising that your destination could change because of weather. Cruises in December 23 out of Brisbane were diverted south instead of to the Pacific Islands and North Queensland because of Cyclones, so they needed warmer clothes.

Thank you so much folks once again 👍🏻✨... for detail insights... As will be helpful a lot, as v are going in the same cruise and destinations..😀

going on the cruise this morning from brisbane quantum of the seas

[@debandmattchat]

Hope you are enjoying it Bailey

We had our very first cruise on Quantum Feb 2023, our next cruise is Quantum Feb 2025! We loved Quantum and can't wait to get on her again - 266 days to go! 🙂 I agree, do everything you can on line/app before getting to the port. We do Jnr suite so get key like benefits and yes boarding is so fast!

[@debandmattchat]

It certainly makes for a much more relaxing experience. We love Quantum. The next season will be her last in Australia, with Voyager coming to Brisbane for the 25/26 season. Great point about the Junior Suite vs Key Benefits.

[@rasferrastfarian739]

@@debandmattchat Yes that's exactly why we're back on Quantum, it won't be back 😞We're booked on Voyager in 20206 :-)

[@debandmattchat]

We have one last one on quantum as well couldn't let her go without one more goodbye and we too have voyager booked so looking forward to it too 😀

[@debbieblincoe9880]

Happy New Year. Thank you so so much for this video - just found your channel! We off on RC for first time on 7th Feb for 8 nights.

[@debandmattchat]

Thanks Debbie. Glad you liked the video. We have a few more coming out over the next few weeks. RC Quantum was an amazing experience. If you have any questions, drop them in the comments and we might try and put a video together to address them.

[@debbieblincoe9880]

@@debandmattchat yay thanks for that i'll have a think! Already learnt stuff already and will be getting boys together in morning to take their photos to upload to save time.

[@travelwithdebandnick]

we have done 2 cruises on P&O and last december we went on virgin voyages :)

[@debandmattchat]

Hi Deb, We have done plenty of P&O cruises. Looking forward to a Virgin Voyages cruise hopefully next season. Every cruise line and ship has its own unique feature set. Nothing is ever the same thats why we love it.

[@travelwithdebandnick]

were wanting to try as many different cruise lines as we can :) we have our march cruise booked on quantum of the seas to airlie beach, then november we have an 80s cruise booked on pacific explorer, then april 2025 a cruise on carnival splendor to the pacific islands, then may 2026 the crown princess from sydney to brisbane :) theyre all new ships and new cruiselines for us, bar the pacific explorer, we went on her on the first cruise after the shut down. im so excited for each cruise as they are all different and theyre going to have different experiences onboard :) we have booked the key for our quantum cruise and the princess premier package for our princess cruise :)@@debandmattchat

[@debandmattchat]

Sounds like you have lots of fun times on the high seas ahead🚢⚓🛳️ Enjoy!

[@travelwithdebandnick]

im actually concerened about the storage to be honest as there is myself and my fiance and my mother in the 1 cabin, and i hang most of my clothes and i do not pack lightly, im a big overpacker so im really worried there wont be enough room for all of our clothes and 3 large suitcases and 3 overnight bags.

[@debandmattchat]

For experienced travellers - we don't pack light either. We had A large, medium and carry on suitcase (3 in total). The we all had backpacks and a large Bathroom/Amenities case. We had tonnes of room. Both of sides of the main bed have hanging cupboard and there is a full size chest of draws. The cupboards also have a combination of drawers and shelves. A full length cocktail dress might possible bundle a little in the bottom of the cupboard, but its not a major issue. We just release a room review video for our cabin. Be sure to check that out. When we are back on in March we will also do a much more detailed tour. We missed a few things this time around.

[@dhavallrpatel6183]

Dear , one last question- Do they have a Hair dryer in shower cabin ? 😊... as i just go an email from royal and they have asked not to carry on some electrical gadgets.. like cooking,, and allied stuffs so , bit confused if they will allow Hair dryer .

[@debandmattchat]

Yes Hair dryers are available in the cabin and if it is not there, you can ask your cabin steward for one. They will very happily assist you. As per the Royal Caribbean website: Items that generate heat or produce an open flame are prohibited. This includes heating pads, clothing irons, hotplates, candles, incense, and any other item that may create a fire hazard. NOTE: The only exception to this policy is curling irons and hair straighteners.
