We're going to have a perfectly amazing, beautiful beach day.

Absolutely stunning. Like, look this beautiful bay here. There's um glass bottom boats, uh kayaks and things like this.

🥉KnowledgeableDeb & Matt Chat

I am so glad I came and did this. Thank you, Deb, for giving me the nudge and the permission.

The Watch-outs

I just asked for a hot chocolate at the Avalon Cafe and got told, 'No, I couldn't have a hot chocolate. I can only have what's on the menu.'

🥉KnowledgeableDeb & Matt Chat

we on a South Pacific Cruise last year you got off at about that 9 9:30 type Mark we went down to where um the disembarkation spot was so it went it went the line went all the way from midship down through the Music Hall like it was insane insanely long

🥉KnowledgeableDeb & Matt Chat

I can't think of anything worse than having blue bottles things or jellyfish things on Mystery Island while on a cruise ship

🥉KnowledgeableDeb & Matt Chat

It was very dry. It was very, very dry and very fatty. So, unfortunately, I had to sort of pretty much put my whole main meal aside tonight

🥉KnowledgeableDeb & Matt Chat

I am beyond devastated I'm really hurt by this um I didn't ever want to be in this position

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Deb & Matt Chat.

  1. Check in on the app before going to Waterfront for breakfast.

  2. Use the daily crossword and sudoku puzzles at the main cafe for a simple activity.

  3. Be prepared for possible miscommunication about theme nights and activities.

  4. Ask your cabin steward for more hangers if needed, especially for longer cruises.

  5. Keep the cooler box door ajar to let in a bit of heat while maintaining coolness.

  6. Use the shower handles for stability when the ship is rocking.

  7. Be mindful of sea days on New Zealand itineraries if you get restless.

  8. Check the itinerary details to see if the ship stops at both Mystery Island and Lelepa on the same cruise.
