- Welcome to Hollydaysatsea and my latest video.
Episode 2 of my Cabins to Book and Avoid series focus's on P&O cruises brand new ship Arvia. What a fabulous ship she is. If you are new to the P&O Cruises fleet and new to Arvia, then this episode shows you some really great locations to book and also any areas that may create an issue for seasickness or possible noise or vibration. SO here is your Ultimate Guide to booking your perfect cabin on P&O Cruises Arvia.
My personal view of course as always and I very much recommend you do your research before you book. Not everyone wants to prebook a cabin and are happy forthe cruiseline to choose one for them, this in many instances can save you money. If you do prefer to know your location then this video is a good place to start.

Great tips and things to consider before choosing your cabin, thanks for sharing 👏
Glad it was helpful! Thankyou , any questions let me know :-)
@@hollydaysatsea thanks will do 😍
Very detailed guide. Much appreciated, thank you!
You are very welcome :-)
Hi. Excellent analysis, thank you. One point about the extended balconies, our neighbour was in one and didn't like it as they overlooked all the other balconies, and those balconies overlooked them. This lack of privacy stopped them from using the balcony. Conversely, some people loved them as they could talk to their neighbours more easily.
Exactly, I think with these cabins I wanted to show the photos so passengers know what to expect and can make there own mind up. Great for groups of friends too. Thankyou Richard for your lovely comment and great point you make.
Hi just booked cabin 9321 thanks to advice from this video. Thank you for advice and tips.
Hi Dean , cabin 9321 seems to be a popular choice, for many the extended balcony cabins are a big hit. The ones on deck 9 are slightly overlooked by cabins on deck 10 only slightly so just make sure you are ok with this too :-)
So happy for you, which sailing are you booked on?
Thanks🥰🥰
Just got back from 2 weeks on Arvia’s sister ship Iona. While I agree that in general deck 4 seems like a good deck to be on, we stayed in 4460 and a lot of noise from the stabiliser hydraulics which must be underneath cabins in that area. No doubt the same is true on the other side of the ship.
Thanks for sharing! Appreciate it :-) Holly
Thankyou,👌🏻🙏🏻🥰
I hope it’s helped :-)
Deck 15 everytime, never noticed any noise from horizon
Wow so help this we are planning to go on our first cruise for our honeymoon in 2025 and we’ve had so much advise but this has been amazing will definitely be watching more videos of yours !
Do you think it is worth the upgrade from a normal balcony to a deluxe balcony ? We did debate a suite but very expensive!
If you can afford it then yes. I have stayed in a deluxe balcony and standard balcony on Arvia and it is nice to have the extra space and amazing location that a deluxe balcony gives.
If you are looking for a great price then join my I Hollydealsatsea Facebook group . I get exclusive deals with my agent partners x
Holly, I’ve just found you and loving your videos. We’re busy choosing between 10629 and 12303 for a November cruise. Which would you recommend please?
Hiya, I would go for 10629 definitely, near the lift which is a bonus but not directly outside. I hope this helps and Thankyou for your lovely comment.
Thank you so much-this was very informative for us as we are about to book our first P&O cruise which will be only our 4th cruise. Really looking forward to it.
Glad it was helpful! When do you go?
Very informative, thanks Holly. I was wondering what is on deck 3. Is that a service deck, and if so, isn't there going to be constant, 24 hour noise into the deck 4 cabins?
Hi George, a very good question but from what I here no one in deck 4 has ever mentioned any noise coming from deck 3 that I have heard of. I have stayed on other ships and been on the bottom deck and can honestly say although I was concerned at the time I heard no noise from below .

Hi Holly were in 16212 on the Iona & loved it....near The Epicurean, Crows Nest & Adult only are on Deck 17. Our bed was next to the balcony. We are looking for a duplicate set out balcony room on the Arvia. Room 16206 is available, but how do i find out if the bed is nearest the balcony ?
Hiya, the only way I know is to join the Arvia facebook groups and search for your cabin 16,206. Now these cabins are next to each other and from what I believe without being able to guarantee it the layout of beds is alternated . So 16206 will probably have the sofa next to the balcony . Maybe a quick call to P&O cruises for the answer. As no way of knowing from the deck plans. :-)
Hi Holly. We are booked into room 5525 next year, next to the 4 you recommend. Do you hear the music from above in these cabins? Great video and great advice. Thanks.
Hiya, great location but just be aware that cabin is interconnecting with the cabin next door. most people don’t mind that but it’s still nice to be aware before you travel x
@@hollydaysatsea Thanks Holly. Appreciated.
I’m worried about being seasick down the Bay of Biscay. What Deck would you recommend for a med cruise in the summer? I had a deck 9 recently on Venture which was ok to Amsterdam…?
Bay of biscay can be hit and miss as we know but not too bad in the summer months , ideally you want to be between deck 10 midship or if not deck 9-11 but midship ideally for the best position. Hopefully you will be fine and the weather lovely.
Hi
we are booked for deck 11. The first balcony at the beginning of the curve of the ship [mid] is this a good location ie no overhangs above
Hiya, what is your cabin number please and I will take a look for you.
Hi Holly. We are booked into 15610 and I've seen a couple of things since to say it has a massive overhang on the balcony from Horizons. Do you know how bad the overhang for this balcony is?
Yes there will be an overhang so as you are stood on your balcony above your head will be horizon court, can you private message me on hollydaysatsea Facebook page do you think?
When do you go?
Hi I’m looking at booking our first cruise on this ship and are after advise on small balcony cabins(gz). Would you remember these or should I pay more for a standard balcony cabin. It’s it best to be at the front or back of the ship? Thanks
I would definitely say pay more they are really small, same size as an inside cabin . Sometimes the difference for a standard cabin isn’t much more :-)
Hello! We are on Deck 17 and in a family cabin with our 2 young children - 17215 Inside cabin Forward - we have never done a cruise before so wondered if this is a good spot or worth upgrading to a different deck or room?
Many Thanks!
Apologies for not replying as yet, did you book this cabin?
Do you know which sea view cabins don't have a seat by the window so I can avoid these please.
I don’t unfortunately , ask your agent though they maybe able to help :-)
What’s the difference between a inside p/f cabin and a p/e inside cabin,confused regarding the configuration..
Cheers 👍
Hi , The PF are the cheapest and are forward inside cabins high deck and the PE grades which are slightly more expensive are forward inside cabins on a lower deck
Hi, this will be our first cruise aboard avia and have booked our cabin. We have a balcony cabin on deck 11, mid ship. Is this overlooked?
Also, is it better to book an excursion before the cruise or onboard
Hi mark, what is your cabin number? If there is a particular excursion you would like to book then book it so I’d doesn’t sell out. You could also look at venture ashore they make sure they get you back to the ship on time so see if they do a similar excursion and if they are cheaper too :-) have a fabulous time , when do you go?
Deck11516
Which are the best suite cabins on arvia. Do you agree suites are best for 3 adults
Yes definitely recommend them for 3 of you. I would always look for a suite on the back or side of the ship. The front of the ship suites can be very windy depending on the weather x
Looking for 1st cruise. Is deck 9 a good choice on either side of ship?
Deck 9 is a good cabin as long as not at the back as the club house is underneath you and can cause some vibration. Just make sure anything underneath your cabin is fairly quiet and you will be ok. Cabins above and below you are always recommended x
Going on arvia next year I am having a suite deck 11 is that a good deck
Deck 11 is a fab deck to be on, what is your cabin number?
Hi this is a great video to let us see what our ship will be like but may I ask why no disabled cabins were looked at even though I see you’re not disabled.We are booked in to floor 12 cabin 642 is that accessible with a decent balcony for a permanently disabled wheelchair user? I do hope you get back to me thank you very much
Hi Kerry, Thankyou so much for your comments. I’ll take a look at the deck plan for you. Regarding accessible cabins , I have only reported on the cabins I have stayed in, looked at and been aware of by previous passengers.
I am on deck 12 currently only a few cabins from yours so I will see if I can find anything out from our cabin steward for you . Leave it with me :-)
@@hollydaysatsea that would be very very very helpful thank you very much.We should have been going on the Britannia ship this July for our 50th birthday unfortunately due to ill health we have just had to postpone it for a whole year for recovery time needed.
Our new ship is the Arvia, for July next year just means we have to stay 50 for another year. I’m a twin so look very much looking forward to this trip I just want everything to go well.Much appreciate your time in getting back to me very kind xxxx
Hi Kerry, there is a group on Facebook P&O Arvia cabins and suites. Yesterday someone posted a video of accessible cabin 12625 which will be perfect for you! Are you on Facebook and I’ll tag you in the post.
Off on our 1st cruise 9th june cabin is 15126 balcony cabin is it noisy.
No you have cabins above and below you so a great location and handy too for the pool and horizon buffet :-) have a great time
What about deck 17 we booked on there with extended balcony and you haven’t mentioned it
What cabin number are you in and I’ll take a look?
17320
I was on deck 17 but mid to aft so I didn’t see your cabin but I know other people who have stayed in the cabin you have booked have loved it :-) you will have great views from your cabin too being so high up :-) have a wonderful time.
What balcony cabin is the better one 11418 or 11452 please?
Hiya, there isnt one better than the other. although whichever you book you right or left view will be slightly obstructed due to this psrt of the ship sticking out a little so to speak x i stayed in cabin though 14420 and great location
How do you book your cabins
How do I myself book my own cabin?
Hi, I am booked in to stay in cabin 15.621 on Arvia next year. Is that a good cabin do you think? Is the overhang a big issue? Many thanks
If I can be honest with you, you are not only under the overhang but under horizon restaurant. although a good location as only one flight of stairs to the buffet and infinity pool, personally i would go a deck down and stay on deck 14 if you can x
@@hollydaysatsea we are not too fussed about being under the restaurant as we’ll be up from 7am every day anyway and go to bed around 11pm. It’s just the overhang… is it a really big overhang? And if we wanted to move cabins, Is it possible too?
Ahhh no problem, yes your balcony will be shaded but if you are not going to be wanting to sunbathe on your balcony then you will be fine :-) contact your agent and have a chat to them. My advice though would be to move down a deck of you can. :-)
Hi, I have been looking at others, will 15451 be better? Thanks
Yes definitely better as you are more inline with the deck above you :-)
Holly we have booked cabin 15240 the cabin next door is a large will they over look us please x
Hi Gail, no they will not over look you at all, it’s the cabin on the other side of them they will overlook :-)
@@hollydaysatsea is it blocked then . Our cabin is GF15240
And will it be private holly please
There balcony is long too
Not sure what you mean it is blocked. You have a full clear view with no one to the left or right of you overlooking you. It will be private and you have cabins above you and cabins below you too so should be quiet.
