Thank you very much for your kind words and I hope you have a fab-u-lous time in September! Kind Regards Luci x

Wow, lovely to hear from you! Thanks so much for all your hard work in the cafe - it's my favourite place on ship. You guys are always so lovely and welcoming - it's much appreciated. The brie pastries are delicious plus the biggest cookies ever. Thank you - hope to see you again soon! Regards Luci x

Hi, I am so pleased you had a fab time, it certainly is a beautiful ship, and so glad you had a better experience than us. We're going to give MSC another try soon. Take Care, Luci x

Ooh, great tip to know, thank you!

Hi, thanks for the comment. We've not tried Yacht Club yet but yes it it can be very expensive. Have you got a favourite cruise line at the moment?

Thanks for the note. I love Sky Princess too, so friendly. Yes one day was a little bumpy! Take care, Luci x

Hi, thanks for the note. I think we had a few problems on our sailing. One it was in school holidays and they vastly overbooked on child places, two, the ship was very new and seemed a little understaffed and three it was a winter cruise so it was too cold to be outside so this pushed the whole cruise ship inside all day and all night so was sometimes hard to get a seat and felt very busy. It would be interesting to hear from anyone who has cruised on a summer cruise to see if a lot of people being out on the sun decks alleviated this problem? Also MSC prices are very competitive so I think they are a popular choice especially families. Whatever you decide to do, Euribia is a lovely ship so do let us know which ship you decide on and how you get on. Take Care Luci x

Hi there, apologies for the delayed response and thank you for your comment, really appreciate this extra info. Best wishes Kerrin & Luci.

Hi, thanks fore the note. We always used to cruise Royal Caribbean but that was before children and having to cruise in school holidays now we can virtually get 2 weeks on P&O for 1 week on Royal Caribbean. Personally for our view, the food wasn't bad on P&0 except the buffet was not so good - certainly not Windjammer standard! However, on Arvia you get another 3 restaurants and the main dining room included in the price so there is a good choice to eat else wear. P&O is more of a classic ship, the entertainment wasn't bad, some good bands and showa and we enjoyed the cinema but it's not got the big attractions like RC. I think it depends what you are looking for, I really liked P&O, but if you are looking for things like Flow Riders, Flumes, Ice Rinks, Rock Walls, Water Shows etc it's not that type of cruise. That being said we just wanted to chill out so was great for us. I think what you are doing is perfect, checking out the differences in the ships so you know what to expect! Obviously this it's just our opinion and everyone's is different but they are totally different ships but I have to say for the price I thoroughly enjoyed it. Kind Regards Luci

@@CruiseCornerLuci thanks for reply. I’ll certainly look into them after our next cruise

Hi, many thanks for your kind comments, we really appreciate it. Thank you and kind regards Luci

Hi, thanks for the note. This was filmed in August 2024 and yes they did allow self serve in the buffet. They did have a member of staff trying to get everyone to wash their hands when they went in but didn't enforce it so yes, like you, I always carry hand sanitiser to use just before I eat! Looking forward to trying Sun Princess - sounds fab!

Hi, thank you so much for your kind comments, you've certainly made my day! So pleased you enjoyed the video too, take care love Luci x

Wow, thank you so much for your lovely comment. We're a fairly new channel and it's so amazing to receive such nice reviews. Thank you for taking the time to send a kind note. Take care, love Luci x

Hi, many thanks for your kind comments. We really loved Ariva and would definitely go again! Hope you have a fab time next year, take care Luci x

Hi, just a quick note to say hope you have a fabulous time on Arvia - we really enjoyed it and would definitely go on it again! Take care Luci x

We agree totally - we are doing the cruises the opposite way around from you. We have cruised Arvia and doing Iona early next year so I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed Iona too - it will be interesting to see if there are many differences with them being sister ships?

Wow, thank you so much for your lovely comment, you've made our day! Being a fairly new channel it's so nice when someone takes the time to say they enjoyed the video. Thank you and kind regards Luci x

Thank you so much for your kind comment, we really appreciate it. Kind Regards Luci & Kerrin x

Hi, many thanks for the note, we're off on Iona early next year so it will be interesting to see the differences between the two ships. Regards Luci

What ship would you suggest? I have only been on arvia. Are they any similar prices too.?

Hi, thanks for the note. It really depends on what you are looking for and budget - and also if you have to holiday in school holidays or not. If you want the mega ships like Royal Caribbean with all their amenities, fairground, water shows etc, these can be on the more expensive side. One of the more cheaper lines is MSC. Now they do have some really beautiful ships, with flumes, arcades etc but their service & food doesn't seem to be up to the other cruise line standards. However a friend of mine is cruising with them soon - 4 day cruise for just £250. We like Arvia as we wanted to relax for a couple of weeks and we have just cruised Sky Princess which I really love - it, like Ariva, doesn't have all the big amenities but just has fabulous food, good entertainment and really good staff. A few of the cruise lines now are doing the short break cruises so before splashing out on a longer holiday, you could always try a mini-break cruise. If you can cruise out of school holidays then you can get some really good deals too. Also make sure you join the free loyalty programmes on each ship as you can get some discounts for this too. Kind regards Luci x

What cruise ship do you like?

@@tristancollins3037 Hi, thanks for note. Pre-children (when we had more disposable income lol) Royal Caribbean was our go-to cruise line and we never had a bad cruise with them. I loved Sky Princess and P&O Ariva but these are not so good if you are looking for lots of activities such as rock climbing, ice rinks etc, more for just chilling. MSC Euribia was a lovely ship but food/service was not so good but fantastic flumes, arcades etc. It's so exciting to see all the newer ships come out and they are pushing the boundaries all the time with new activities/entertainment so here's to hopefully more exciting cruising to come!

Thank you so much for your kind words, we really appreciate it!

Many thanks for your kind words. Best wishes. Kerrin

Hi there, thanks for your comment. Although our personal experience with MSC wasn’t great we do have some friends who said MSC was the best cruise they’d been on. Euribia is a beautiful ship with a lot of good features, it was just the service that let it down for us (we found out later that they’d over booked and were under staffed) so hopefully next time we go it will be out of school holidays so may have a different opinion. All that said I’m sure you’ll have a fab time. All the Best Kerrin & Luci

Hi, thanks for the note. To be honest we only ate there once as the service was so chaotic! The food was ok, maybe not up to the same standard as some of the other cruise lines but it was ok. The main 2 gripes it seems that people have with MSC is the quality of food and service - however Euribia was a stunning ship so the good and bad do balance out. Kind Regards Luci

@@CruiseCornerLuci thank you for the quick response. Did you try the Japanese restaurant and/or Le. Grill (French Bistro)?

@@NLMusique Hi apologies, no we didn't try those restaurants so couldn't comment on those, sorry.

@@CruiseCornerLuci thank you for letting me know

Apologies for the delayed response, there was such a good variety of bars & restaurants, a couple required a dress code (eg The Crows Nest was no shorts in the evening and tie during formal nights) and others didn’t (like 6th Street diner for example or Brodies) so it all depends on what you’re looking for. Hope this makes some sense and hope you have a fab time in the Caribbean.

@CruiseCornerLuci Ah that's great, thanks for replying my friend. Yes really looking forward it.

I have been on arvia a few times and it is really relaxed, ño shorts but as long as you have a nice top on tie doesn't matter. My father has been on arvia 6 times since last October and has never worn a tie. He just makes sure he has nice trousers and shoes and even a Polo shirt. Happy cruising 🎉

Hi yes it certainly is a stunning ship!

Hi there, thanks for the comment and I'm sure you'll have a fab time. September 2025 will be here before you know it! Best wishes, Kerrin

We’re going on that one too 😊

@@leighhoult Hope you have a fabulous time, we really enjoyed it! xx

Will be there this September. Excited but a bit worried also. It's our first time on cruise

@@nazimarohom5274 Thanks for the note, I am sure you will have a lovely time. All the staff and crew are very friendly and it's a beautiful ship. Have a fabulous time and please let us know how you got on xx

Hi, thanks for those extra tips. I didn't even think about the medication being in different packaging so I'll definitely take them in the original boxes and then put in my pill box for my next cruise, thank you! Regards Luci
