🚢Creating useful cruise content that's all about the ship and destination 🚢.
⭐🧜♀️ABOUT ME🧜♀️⭐
Hi👋 I'm Steph. I started cruising in 2005 and so far I've spent just under 200 nights at sea. I created this channel because I love cruise holidays and I want to help you get the most out of yours - whatever your budget, itinerary or ship.
I run this channel on my own and in my spare time. I take time to research and create useful and beautiful videos. I prefer to create quality over quantity which means I might not always be able to upload weekly videos.
I like to keep things which are dear to me private, so you won't see much of me or my family in front of the camera. The main focus will always be the ship and the destination.
Almost all of my content is made on cruises I have paid for myself and I always fully disclose when cruises or ship visits are hosted.

Is there no immigration control upon departure or arrival?
Yes there is.
Bring a wife/girlfriend - they love exspensive drinks . Guaranteed to get your moneys worth , if a your with a women . Bloody Mary's for breakfast , lunchtime cocktails , dinner = wine ,cocktails . Then club/casino boshing away on the cocktails again ... At about 10 pound a pop.- the wives will take P&O to the cleaners on your behalf . While the man drinks a few fiver beers and maybe a single malt . Joking aside : Very good video - perfectly explained . P&O have definitely tried to close the loop holes. From.what I have seen : for a cruise line and having a captive audience, they are extremely well and fairly priced . ( 7 pound ish - cocktails vs 5 pound beers = better than alot of pubs ) . I think for some people it's the hassle of paying - but one "duberry " i didn't think of is shore days. I doubt you could drink 50 "Spondooleys" on some shore days , after a little sleep vs what the package allows you to have
Thanks for watching. 😁
Hello my client s will be in Flam on June 24. 2025. Their cruise ship will arrive at 0700 am and depart by 1530. Is it possible to take the Falm Rail way early in the morning 0800 and be back by 1400 the same day? I hope to hear from you! Thank you. Maud
Hi Maud - yes this is possible as the round trip only takes two hours (if the do the direct journey and don’t get off at the top) - most cruise passengers do the direct return journey. To book, just use the website I’ve mentioned in the video, to book tickets about 6 months out to get the best pick of ticket times - one about 9:30 or 10:30 am should leave enough time to get off the ship and also get them back by or just before lunch time to explore the rest of beautiful Flam. You might want to show them this video of other things to do in Flam too ruclips.net/video/wwCBJzvaYjA/видео.htmlsi=wLyEV075XdpRccGo
Thanks so much for this lovely and informative video. We've just booked this cruise for May 2025, our fifth river cruise with Riviera - as you can tell we love them!
When I was on board there were SO many returning and loyal customers on my sailing. And I can totally see why - the crew and staff are amazing and the accommodation and décor on board is gorgeous ... and the food!! oh the food. I'm still dreaming about that fish and chips. Have a wonderful time on your river cruise - I loved this itinerary.
Great video, thanks for posting. Looking forward to doing Basel to Cologne soon!
Thanks for watching! that sounds a great itinerary - I could easily spend a few days more exploring Cologne.
What an absolute abomination of a ship. I'd rather stay at home. How is that a holiday?
That’s fine. We all like different things and that’s ok.
As a frequent cruiser I found this excellent video extremely informative, telling me details that I was unaware of. I shall certainly recommend it to other people. Well done.
Thanks so much for the kind comments Gillian. 😊
*was elegant until it got painted like a 2fast 2furious star car 😢
🤨
@@CruiseWithAmber bright flashy paint, decals the works, the black tie affair type of livery she used to wear was achingly beautiful though
Wow! Thank goodness I watched this! Having just booked a Suite which advertises Balcony etc and the confirmation showed room 8110 imagine my shock to see we won’t be getting what’s adverised such as Balcony, Butler Service or even a Bath! Awful! On to p&o already and it’s only been a few hours. So disappointed thank goodness it wasn’t on the day! Can’t see ANYTHING anywhere showing anything different.
It’s in the (very) small print on the deck plan about the lack of a bath and no balcony - but you’d have to go looking for it. The good news is with this suite is the you get all the perks of the B grade suites such as the butler, priority boarding, and the epicurean (more info on all the perks here ruclips.net/video/qI1iE1hbzvo/видео.htmlsi=2K9FCJN_0-09DKCt) but glad to have helped so that you were able to rectify before it was too late.
I am sailing for the second time out of Southampton this coming October. Does anyone know if it is ok to drop our luggage off before we check in? We are taking a train from London that morning, and wanted to do a bit of walking around before boarding without having to drag along our things.
Hi there- yes it fine to do this - we have a few times. The luggage pods open about 11am so you can drop your luggage off then. The taxi can drop you right outside the luggage pods and depending on which terminal you’re sailing from it’s only a 15-25 min walk into central Southampton. I’ve put more info in my blog post if that helps. cruisewithamber.co.uk/cruising-from-southampton-ultimate-guide/
@@CruiseWithAmber thanks so much! This was very helpful 😊
Is there a seafood menu, if so where do you think is best to go , 😅🇬🇧
Hi David. There is no real seafood restaurant on board Arvia - but my suggestions would be - the Quays for great fish and chips or green and co for lovely sushi (if that’s your thing) the epicurean do some lovely lobster and crayfish starters on their menu. And look out for daily fish specials in the horizon buffet and main dining room. Hope that helps!
@@CruiseWithAmber a big THANKYOU,as I’m going on the cruise 5 weeks time , my step son works for PO CUSTOMER SERVICES AND HAS SAILED ONCE , HE CAN TAKE US TO THOSE LOCTIONS ON THE SHIP , THANKS AGAIN ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
The waterfall is in Myrdal ?
It’s on the way to Myrdal
I’ll be on it for 9 days in November!
A bunch of us are on it for 9 days in Jan 2025. Can’t wait.
Oh my that sounds like it’s going to be a great cruise - and a great start to the new year - have fun! Wish I was coming with you.
Hi this is brilliant and was so helpful, is there one for Britannia 😂
I’m in the process of creating one for Britannia. 😊
@@CruiseWithAmber that’s wonderful thank you 😎
Thanks for the videos - really well done! Worth noting: the "Havila Gold" package is no longer available on any of the Havila ships
Yes I see they’ve changed a few things since I sailed with them in ‘23
P.1
Worth the extra and once you've had a suite you'll want one everytime!
So true!!!
We are going on our first cruise. Arvia May 2025. Thank you for your video. We are really torn as to whether to get the drinks packages? How do you get drinks when eating food and are they included in packages we are 2 adults and 2 children xxxxx
It’s a very personal thing getting the drinks package it all depends what you like to drink and how much. Have a look at this video which might help. ruclips.net/video/aNQAWOhFvos/видео.htmlsi=Ff6Ldo76S_VW_U_L You can order drinks in the restaurant and the drinks menu will tell you if they’re included in the drinks package. (Most will be) We found the drinks package didn’t work out the best value to us as a family if 4 because our kids started wanting the mocktails and things which weren’t included in the refresh package, and we like the cocktails but not all of them were included. It was better value for us to pay and you o ad order a bottle of wine at dinner instead. Hope that helps.
This year wil be my first actual christmas on a ship ❤
Ooooh that sounds so exciting- you will have the BEST time!!!!
Bro the queen mary 2 isnt even that cool, I'd much rather go on regal 100 times
😊
Amber, we really want to guarantee getting on the Flam Railway. Our cruise is a year out and the cruise options are already closed out. Help!
Good news is that you can still book direct. More info here ruclips.net/video/wOib8VerCKE/видео.htmlsi=bdF3_66sXht_lHrD and here cruisewithamber.co.uk/flam-railway-hints-and-tips/
Hi we are down tommorow any ideas wheres best to catch the disney ship ?
@@masterballuk6780 probably from city or horizon cruise terminal. Best to check cruise mapper or the Southampton VTS site - links in my blog post cruisewithamber.co.uk/cruising-from-southampton-ultimate-guide/
Hello, you dont mention if a double or Queen size bed?
I'm not sure what this is in relation to in the dining guide but there's more information here on the beds - hopefully that will help. www.havilavoyages.com/faq/onboard-experience/cabins
I'm going in about 6 weeks 🎉
🎉
Very detailed! Thx for your guide and that really helps me decide on my trip over there.
Glad it was helpful! have a wonderful time in Flam!
Hello we will be in Noway soon and i have a question. When talking about what side to sit on the train for pictures and views you stated to sit on the right side; are you saying the right side when facing the head of the train or the back of the train? Thanks for all the great information!
Right side in the director the train is headed when you leave - I sat on the right ride on the way up in the video.
This is an excellent video: so clear, I like your tone and your use of B-roll! Fantastic!
Thank you very much! That’s such a lovely thing to say. You’re very kind. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for including the cabin number in the video description. We are reserved for this room and find the video via google.
No worries! Glad it was helpful. Have a great voyage!
Thank you very informative and enjoyed watching your video. I took notes for our cruise in march when we visit port of Cadiz.
Glad it was helpful! I've got some others cruise port guides planned for upload soon too - make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss them
Im going on there tomorrow
whoo hoo - have a great time
It was fun
Brilliant, we have booked this for 2026 and found this very informative. Thank-you x
Glad it was helpful! 😁
thanks for sharing! we went to the Flam last month through a cruise ship but we did not get a chance to ride a train due to fully booked.
Thanks for watching and thanks so much for taking the time to comment too. That's such as shame about missing out on the train. Hopeful you can visit again sometime. Flam is a wonderful port - i hope you had a great time nevertheless.
I used Penguin parking (Cunard, July 2024) and recommend it. Satnav found it easily, immediately after IKEA is a set of lights, turn right and the entrance is in front of you (the satnav said do a U-turn at the lights, but it’s a right turn). The site is shared with BSA-Regal, BSA-Regals signs are more noticeable than Penguins. So look for BSA-Regal, you can’t miss it. Staff were friendly and helpful and load your luggage into the minibus. Journey time to the ship is less than 5 minutes. From where you drop your car at their portacabin, cars are parked 10 to 50 yards away in the same compound. My car mileage was the same reading as when I dropped it off. You’re given an instruction card on what to do upon arrival or the evening before if you can get a signal at sea. I could, as we passed Dover in the English Channel. Text them your name, ship and disembarkation time, you even can do this when you wake up and the ship has docked at Southampton. Once you make it through arrivals, call them and the minibus arrives in a few minutes. I’ll use them again when I sail with Cunard in April 2025. They give you a discount voucher for repeat custom.
I’m going on that ship in 2 hoursss
yaaaay - have an amazing cruise!
@@CruiseWithAmber thanks it’s amazing xx
I'm doing a Caribbean cruise on Arvia next year, and this has been really helpful. Many thanks
I’m so glad it’s been helpful - have a fabulous time on board! And thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 😊 please feel free to share with anyone else you think might find it useful.
Great video 👏🫶
Thanks so much Phil 😁👍🏻
overrated, J & K train in India and Glacier express and Bernina express in Swiss are way ahead
not travelled those routes yet, but if it's any things better than Flam then they must me amazing. Thanks for watching 😁
Thank you for this great and very informative video! We will be in Norway next May and we will definitely plan to do this lovely train ride.
Glad it was helpful! have fun in Flam when you finally visit. 😁
Great review. We'd be interested in staying there before a cruise from Southampton. Cheers 🍻
Glad it was helpful. It's so convenient! The only downside was the lifts were undergoing maintenance when we stayed which made the journey to the lobby a little longer than usual.
i thought P&O had stopped us taking spirits onboard as is shown in this video?
they have - I've tried to out a little note up on screen in that part (as this was recoded before they changed things) but RUclips doesn't seem to be showing it.
Hello greetings. Thank you for tge video. So nice. Can you give me some info. Please, ill be travelling to norway in a few months from now. When you say in the Train the best view to take pics and for the landscape its in our right hand side, but its when you enter in the train or when you are seated. That differs. And about the best time of the day to make que trip.?Thank you. Best regards❤
its the right hand side when facing the direction of travel. Time wise - early morning means you miss the crowds so if you can get on the first couple of trains then it might be quieter. Hope that helps. Have a great time in Flam and thanks for watching.
She looks gorgeous! ❤
She's a really beautiful ship (given her age 😁) they've done a great job maintaining her well and investing in the refurb .
This video has been incredibly helpful thank you! we set sail in 3 days, very excited now :)
I'm so glad it was helpful! hope you're having a great time on board.

😁👍🏻
is it just weird that I’m just commenting on this video while being on Iona for the 2nd time!
not weird at all. Glad my video finally found you. 😁👍🏻.
Did you get to see Cabins 4102, they are Seaview Superior and located at the front of the ship, configured a little differently. Would you recommend that cabin?
Unfortunately on our sailing all these grade of cabins were occupied, so I didn’t get a chance to look in. As it’s right at the front you might fell a little more movement than the midship superior Seaview cabins. So if that doesn’t bother you then you should be fine.
I think the train takes about two hours round trip and just a 5-minute stop on a glacier seems very short to me.
Yes, about 50 mins each way. It doesn’t stop on a glacier it just stops at Myrdal station where passengers can connect to another train service to Oslo and Bergen.
