We went on Arvia last month and felt your experience was very similar to ours. We really enjoyed the Chefs table (we both had the beef wellington) and were shown to our seats. We preferred it to the main dining room as found the service really slow down there., though that may have been because Arvia was also at full capacity! Because of my job, we currently have to travel in school holidays , buy have decided that we wouldn't travel on either Arvia or Iona in school holidays again. Our favourite venue was the 710 club, which we visited most nights
Thank you for watching. With Dom being a teacher we encounter the same problems. We also enjoyed visiting the 7/10 club. It had a great vibe that was different to anything else on the ship.
Your experience in Chefs Table mirrors ours, long queues into the Skydome, rushing for the best table, canteen style seating, tables too close, and service rushed. Won’t be doing it again, next time we’ll book speciality for both Black Tie and Celebration nights on our TA on Arvia.
We love that you went down and ironed your shirts. Seemed like a very busy sea day. Oh my the chefs table……..ordering dessert at the very start! The French onion soup looked horrid. Chicken nuggets and cheese 😂😂.
Great honest vlog chaps … really capture the true essence of the ship …really reinforces my belief that I will never set foot , or give any of my hard earned money to P&O cruise line …the amount of incredibly irritating situations you described during this was mind blowing ….there are always a large minority of selfish chavvy types on board …..once again , good stuff chaps , look forward to more of your insightful reports .
@@TomandDomTravel a mix of celebrity, Cunard and Azamara…all depends mostly on getting a bit of value for my pound ….all very good and all a very different experience..
Been waiting for this vlog since you mentioned it in your live yesterday! Not sure how to feel about Chef's table... As it's free I think it's defo worth a try once but don’t think i’d do it again from seeing your’s and other vloggers experiences
@@TomandDomTravel Yes - I’ve not done it myself so would try it the once but it doesn’t look particularly premium or much different compared to what you could get in the main dining room!
We saw Deal or No Deal on Caribbean Princess last month, you're right it was a great bit of entertainment! We saw the final but after seeing that we regret not buying one of the entry tickets to join in. Although my favourite part was when the game crashed and the cruise director had to ad-lib for 10 minutes, totally cringe...
@@TomandDomTravel I wondered that too when it happened, but whatever the issue was it carried on from where it left off fortunately. My guess is the random part is already generated when the game starts and is saved just in case... then they do the whole pantomime of a show to stretch out the results. But, I was on holiday so I shouldn't have let my mind wander into a potential theoretical technical fault finding mode!
Hi guys! Boo!! So sorry to see your cruise was so busy. The absence of a Cruise Director / Entertainment Manager is really apparent on P&O in comparison to other cruise lines. We weren’t even sure they even existed! 😂
Hi Tom & Dom 😊 I’m going on the Iona on 7th September to the Fjords and really looking forward to it 🚢 On celebration night do people dress up in different colour suits and ties??? I only have a grey suit available to me and I’m abit worried I will stick out like a sore thumb 😂
Just subscribed. I always thought that chefs table was a totally different menu to the MDR. However, having just watched Pearl and Brian latest Ventura vlog, they had the same as you in the MDR. Therefore, regarding the chefs table, it’s a NO from me. Keep up the good work guys, from Gary and Leigh ( South Wales ).

Love watching your vids, thank you. It just shows that P&O have become low cost which is a shame.
Thank you for watching. 😀😀
Another great video and very helpful
Thank you! Very much appreciated 😄

Wanted to look the part. Might as well not bothered with being sat in the buffet 🤣
Great VLOG… you’ve been very diplomatic with this but I don’t think I’d book this one anytime soon! 😂
Thank you for watching. It certainly wasn’t the premium experience the name suggests 🤣

We would absolutely say give it a go but it’s certainly not the premium experience the name or celebrity chef attached may suggest
@@TomandDomTravel Yes - I’ve not done it myself so would try it the once but it doesn’t look particularly premium or much different compared to what you could get in the main dining room!
@caitlinpalmer9191 if you try it let us know how it goes

Thanks for watching. That must have been a very strange situation. As the game is random we wonder how difficult it is to reset the board

@SpeakToTheGeekTech yes absolutely. Just sit back and enjoy

Totally agree not sure why they don’t do this as so many people having a cruise director
Great vlog fellas. Chicken Nuggets 😲
Thanks for watching! Couldn’t believe how quick those nuggets went
@@TomandDomTravel 😂

Hi. Thanks for watching. A grey suit will be fine. We found there was a mix between those in a tux and those in suits. Have a great cruise!
@@TomandDomTravel thank you very much 👍 Looking forward to it and your video was very helpful ☺️
Thank you.

Thank you! We are thrilled you enjoyed the vlog. As for the chefs table menu we think you are right
To have chefs table in sectioned off area of buffet puts us off and to have a free for all for tables is asking for trouble.
Thanks for watching. It really didn’t meet the expectations the name suggests
One and done for me with chefs table too. Hate seeing kids put to bed in bar chairs....just take them to bed!
Thank you for watching. Agree on both points
Only been on one P&O cruise, awful so never again.
Thank you for watching! Have you cruised on any other lines?
The French onion soup is awful now on p&o
We have had much better on other ships
A strange cheese plate with just one big piece of cheese.
Thanks for watching. Not the best Dom has had.
