Rob and Ali Cruise & Travel
Australia
Приєднався 11 жов 2020
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

Dietary requirement? So I can ask for fresh raw whale meat ?😂
And yes Robert…don’t like the artificial squirty shaving foam on scones 😩☝️
Defs jam first lol 😂 as always a most enjoyable snippet of your lil cruise 🎉
Lots of Fun
We always try to have fun :-)
Pity the high tea was not complementary like on other cruises I’ve been on.
They do sometimes do a mini high tea at the Avalon Cafe but the one in Angelo's was $39 pp.
Do you know if you can get the high tea fully pescatarian?
Sorry Leona, I don't know.
Congratulations on your Anniversary and fancy cruise. Rob finally got a win at Shuffle Board (not because you were solo) and Ali bravely conquered the flying fox. High Tea and Speciality dining completed a cruise to remember ❤
Thanks Janine. We've been on a few comedy cruises and we wanted to do something a bit different. We already knew that there were a couple more that we wanted to book whilst we were on board so we got the $400 on board credit back from those which enabled us to splash out a bit on the dining etc. Shuffleboard win was a big bonus though.
Never knew that a cruise with P&O could be so fancy. Thanks for sharing with us and good on you Ali for trying the flying fox.
It's a shame she dropped the camera, would have loved to have seen the video of her face LOL.
We were at this high tea too. 🥂
We have thought about doing this before but this was the first time we actually tried it.
Who is the cruise director right now?
Not sure Charlie. It was Nathan and I believe he may be still the CD at the moment.
Ok thankyou guys so much love the content keep on going
Thank you and we really appreciate your support.
One of my mates was on that cruise
Hope your mate had as good a time as we did.
Sorry for a very late comment, but we're looking to book 2 of these rooms for a January cruise up the QLD coast. We have a bub that will go down for day naps - how are the curtains at actually blocking out light? We were wanting an interior cabin because of the black out but this is all we have as an option.
Thanks for tips 1st cruise in 9 weeks we going to North Queensland
Thank you so much for this video. I've just booked this same cabin for my mum and I next August. Fingers crossed it's as good for us.
Love watching your vlogs. Your voices are so clear and perfect. You both could have made it on television or radio. You guys are so natural and there is no acting as you guys enjoy everything you do and can see the love that you share. Hope to meet you one day as you guys are the ones that changed our minds in regards to cruising so as soon as I recuperate we will rebook and take off on our first cruise. Thankyou for everything, take care, love from the ones just down the road.
Rob’s looking like Rod Stewart’s twin brother! Ali’s double denim and big hair is fantastic! You both look like you’re having a great time on this cruise.
I was on a P n O cruise earlier in the year and the bain of my life was the silly shower on off, I'm blaming it on I'm a lefty .
Some are OK but some are a bit tricky.
happy anniversary!🎉 I had tears in my eye's when the waiter sang for you. that was so beautiful. As always, so much fun watching
Always love your Videos! So there is an upcharge for the YumCha. I have not been on P&O since I saw you guys in October Last year. Maybe a new thing, maybe only dinner is included at Dragon Lady?
Hi Darlyn. Thanks for watching and supporting us. Dragon Lady is included for dinner but they do a special lunchtime menu which is the Yum Cha. You pay per plate and they generally have 3 pieces for between $7 and $12 a plate. It's a bit like the High Tea where there is an extra cost for that if you want to do it. Waterfront and Pantry are still open for lunch and are included in the fare.
Perjalanan yg menyenangkan... Mengunjungi Rabaul 😮
I love your honesty about the meal at Angelos. I like watching vids where people are real and aren't worried about respectfully giving their honest opinion rather than paying lip service to the companies.
Thank you.
I’ve been using the magnets for several years and LOVE them. I’ve even taken small melatonin wire baskets like used in lockers to hold small pad and pens for notes. Even put a few clips on the basket to hold notes, tickets or ??? I’ll be boarding the Miracle on 11/15/24 and plan to take my basket to hang in bathroom first my make up! Thanks for your great video🥳
Always give 100% enthusiasm, honesty. Gorgeous outfits for Gatsby night, emerald dress stunning and my fave pink hair. Ali l agree with you Angelo's may have used a base for multiple tomato dishes.
Thank you Janine. Ali does love that hair and it does look good.
Hi guys, what cruise did you book for future? We are booked on NG in February 👏
Hi Judy, We have a few booked but many are shorter weekend ones. Longer ones are New Year on the Encounter and NZ on Celebrity in April. We actually don't have anything booked for February right now but I don't think we have enough leave from work to do anything other than a weekend cruise anyway. PNG is a good cruise, we loved it.
WILFRED!!!!! We adore Wilfred! He is the most lively loving waiter on the whole ship! He's absolutely wonderful with my children too, so they adore him as well! ❤️
He was brilliant. Hope he's still there next time we go on the Encounter.
Wilfred is our favourite waiter!!!
He was great. Hope he's still on board next time.
Hi Rob and Alli you tips, advice and general commentary is helping me to be much calmer about going on a cruise in Jan Feb next year. As its been 40+ years since my last cruise (on the Fairstar!) and my first solo ever, you are both greatly appreciated.
great video guys :) im a bit worried about our cruise on friday and trying to stay awake at night.since the chemo i have been falling asleep around 7pm each night ,im totally exhausted, so i dont know how im going to stay awake till 1am each night to enjoy the fantastic night time entertainment on the ship. im worried that im going to ruin it for myself.
Sorry for the late reply Deb. Hope you're feeling alright and enjoying your cruise.
Hi Guys - What time was your dinning for Angelo's please.
I think we were round about 7:30. We tend to eat later rather than earlier.
You’ve inspired me to try Yum Cha this week while onboard. As well as one of the tastings 😊
Hi Fiona. Hope you enjoy it, and the cruise.
The serenading at Lukes was wonderful. He had a nice voice too. They really go all out to look after you. You both look wonderful. xoxo 💖
Dear Rob and Ali! You guys are the absolute best! My family and I adore your videos, and infact get excited when we see you've posted 😊 Love the new intro! You guys are seriously the cutest ❤❤ Going on the encounter soon, your videos make me so happy and excited! Thanks for bringing joy to my family, and cheering me up when I'm down ❤ Love from an aussie teen 💕💕
Thank you so much for the lovely comments. Hope you have a fantastic cruise but if there's anything else you want to know please drop us a message.
Rob and ali - are you cruising with carnival to PNG at the end of November? Are you starting to get recognised on each cruise now by subscribers?
We are not on that cruise, unfortunately but yes, many people recognise us and we love to stop and chat to them. Hopefully catch up with you on board one day. Have a fantastic trip to PNG, we love that cruise.
Happy Wedding Anniversary Rob and Ali!! Congratulations!! Hope you thoroughly enjoyed yourselves. Thank you for sharing with us!! xoxo 💙
Sharks aren’t the problem there. I’d be more worried about what’s left of you car when you get back.
Thank you - helpful as always. Going on a cruise in December and looking forward to it!
Thanks Sue and have a great cruise
Fantastic. Have you done a back to back and show us the process of it.
We haven't done one yet but are doing next month. We are doing a 3 night domestic followed by an 8 night international. We will be making a video of the process.
What do you mean there is not much to do at the Brisbane cruise terminal!? The local sewage treatment plant is right next door and is always worth a visit 🤣🤣
You're right Mark. Might add it onto the weekend outing list in case we are short of something to do anytime :-)
Beautiful, congratulations! I cried, so wonderful, so very special.😍
Ali you are a born tv presenter! So professional! Also good job Rob on your part. Thanks 4 tour
Lol, she certainly does get into it. You're right though, a lot more of a natural than me.
i am doing my firs cruise in march next year thanks for the tips
Have a fantastic cruise and glad to be of help.
Hi your videos are really helpful. I am a first time cruiser and my cruise is on 18th with P&O, I booked in a 12pm boarding time. My question is how early can I go for check-in.
Arrive early, you will be let onboard! Just do it👍
Sorry for the delay. Is that on the Pacific Explorer from Melbourne? In general, they do like people to try to stick to the allocated times to avoid backlogs and queues. We have been on a couple of Princess cruises where they do not have boarding windows and it was chaos. Having said that, 12pm is pretty near the earliest time anyway so there shouldn't be much of a delay. If it's the Explorer from Melbourne, we have only cruised once from Melbourne so can't really tell you how strict they are there. When we went it was shortly after the cruise pause lifted and they were strict about a lot of things. However, it was a different time then. Have a fantastic cruise.
Yu mean Michael Caine yu bruva ?
@2:20 you can also have blonde hairs in you tacos as well.
We’re doing our first cruise on the 22nd can’t wait watching your videos made us cruise ready can’t wait to thanks for the tips
