Matt's Moments description on YouTube:

Every airline has a backstory. Every train route has something most passengers never notice. Every city has a way of getting around that nobody talks about. Hi, I'm Matt — and Matt's Moments is where I tell those stories. Wings, wheels, rails, or waves — if it moves, I want to be on it and tell you what it's actually like. The channel covers the full spectrum: airline reviews, train journeys, tram rides, bus routes, cruise ships, unique hotel stays, city transport deep-dives, city-to-airport adventures most travel channels completely ignore, and on-location globetrotting videos from wherever the journey takes me. Every video comes with the real cost, a dive into the history behind the transport, and a straight-up verdict on whether it's worth your money. Some of it's premium. Some of it's budget. All of it's honest. If it moves, we're boarding. Subscribe and ride along.

The Good

that was my first helicopter ride ever and what a way to do it on Victoria Falls scenery such a beautiful quick Scenic flight loved it

These tacos are pretty phenomenal. the crazy taco. All right, full bellies.

MSC, I think your entertainment is beating a lot of the other cruise ships. So, keep it up.

Great magician has to tell a story and the slide of hand and quick hand. Great show. Good job, MSE on that one.

Incredible. Incredible show. I didn't record it but the acrobats were amazing. Made the ladies and probably some of the men scream.

The Watch-outs

I'm rating this airline one out of five for its comfort.

Not a single steak we've ordered has been good. And so that brings you to like why is it why is the struggles? What's going on?

that line was ridiculously timed long about an hour away

some of these string cars are smell like pure Funk trying to be mindful stay fresh clothes and you feel better too

The service. I hate to pick on the service because it's usually the company leads them in a different direction, but they got these waiters and waitresses frantically running around.
