Rob and Ali Cruise & Travel description on YouTube:

Hi Everyone, We are Robert & Alison and we live in beautiful South East Queensland, Australia. We are both originally from England but chose to live here for the lifestyle and, of course, the sunshine. We started this channel as Rob and Ali's Big Days Out during the COVID Pandemic really to share our experiences in the Great Outdoors with our families in the UK as they were unable to come to Australia. We have always loved cruising and as Australia opened up again we were lucky to be able to rekindle this with the exciting new ships and cruise lines that are returning or coming to Australia. The channel seemed to be an ideal outlet to combine our love of cruising and creating lasting memories that we can share with others, so we changed it to Rob and Ali Cruise & Travel. We hope you enjoy our insights & adventures and if you do please hit the Like button and consider Subscribing. Finally, we love to read any comments and will try to reply to all of them. Thanks Rob and Ali

What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

It has been the perfect day here on Mystery Island.

This is definitely going to be a memory that we'll remember for the rest of our lives.

What a perfect day. Adventure in the morning and then this in the afternoon and the views.

final thoughts on the Yum CH at drag lady great out of five out of five probably five yeah I'm going to give it a five out of five as well that was absolutely superb

if you come to Tokyo do not miss doing this it is the best

The Watch-outs

we wouldn't have this room again and let's tell you why three reasons why we wouldn't have this cabin again noise noise and noise

I hated it. I wouldn't go to that restaurant of an evening because it is the it's the open stations of where the um waiters um do the dishes.

the only thing I can give a big fat double thumbs down to is the piano app oh my God it has just driven me crazy today

it's not relaxing I I have to say it really is not relaxing

smoking and vaping it is not allowed on your balcony and this is not again it's not to be a party pooper it is a huge sale it is it is hardly to do that because you know people don't want to go into a room they're a non-smokers

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Rob and Ali Cruise & Travel .

  1. If you're on for two weeks, plan activities so you don't repeat the same thing again.

  2. At brunch, you can ask staff to delay sweet treats until you finish your main course.

  3. Bring your own hair dryer and straightening tongs, as irons and kettles are confiscated

  4. Keep the cool box door open to circulate air and keep drinks colder

  5. Pre-purchase the $40 voucher for the specialty restaurant for extra value.

  6. Use the ship's provided travel sickness tablets instead of over-the-counter ones.

  7. Book tours online in advance to avoid last-minute hassles.

  8. Bring snorkeling gear for beach stops.
