I love this video I'm so excited I'll be doing my first ever cruise on this ship on the 12th December for my 65th birthday,I'm looking forward to watching your other videos ❤
Just booked Azura for next summer, after a week on Iona. Really looking forward to it, you're video has convinced me, it's the correct choice. Thank you for sharing this.
Ahh, I’m so happy the video has helped you - thanks so much for watching! Have the best trip - please come back and let me know what you think of the ship!
@FraserAtSea I will, that was our third time on Iona, but for some reason, it didn't feel the same. We think it may be a bit too big for us now, so looking forward to something a bit smaller. Once again, thank you very much 👍
Very interesting,Fraser. I really enjoy your ship tours. Especially of ships in the P&O fleet. American travel agencies don’t/can’t book P&O cruises so you’re my only hope of seeing the interior of their ships. Appreciate the effort.
Hey! Thanks for tuning in - got a few more to come from P&O actually, and am heading off on their biggest ship tomorrow, so stay tuned! Thanks a lot for your support, Greg!
18 hours after this posted, but here I am. 😂 Enjoyed the tour, thanks! I'm not an "art" person, but I do a walk through just to see. I never understood the art auctions popularity, though. Couple of times I've wandered past and was surprised how many people participate. I love seeing ships decorated for holidays. Pretty!
I’m glad you’re here - I always like chatting with you in the comments! I adore seeing the ships all Christmassy - they suit it so much, don’t they? I always like a walk through the art, although would never like that walk to be in my own home, haha!!
Love your vlogs, keep 'em coming. I might be interested in taking a P&O cruise, but I think as an American, traditional American lines make more sense even for UK and Western European cruises.
Hello! 👋🏼 Thanks a lot for watching, and I totally hear you. I think P&O is actually quite difficult to book from the US. There are loads of American lines offering great European itineraries!
Ah this looks all so familiar (commented before on my other id Beardoin) was on her August/Sept and found her really good to be on. Interestingly you are one of the first to really show the ship brand merch shop, nobody else really wants to do this, yet its the one thing for me thats nice to see. Just a question, was the nose/bow section open to walk around when you were on her, as that was closed off when i was onboard, could only do this from the top deck instead.
Ahh, hello! I love the merch shop - I’m glad I’m not alone and you do too, ha! The nose section was open on some days, but not all of the time - I absolutely LOVED that part of the ship! Thanks a lot for watching!
Hey! I vary from time to time to be honest - sometimes, I enjoy dining with others, but other times I prefer to dine solo. I never feel uncomfortable doing so - if you think you might, I’d recommend taking a book or something to keep yourself busy! 😊
I believe it depends on the cruise. I’ve only ever bought for the week. I think it’s Princess who offer day passes for their version of the Retreat, but I think P&O might be cruise length passes
Been on Azura 4 times including 2 on Christmas run in the Caribbean. First, you mentioned “Snooker and Pool” This is misleading, as there is only Pool. Why O’ Why did P&O take Azura off the West Indies run. There is something Spiritual about Azura, I’ve been on Ventura twice which is the sister ship, and it doesn’t feel the same for some reason. As Azura only does the Europe run I don’t want to use any other ship on P&O.
Hi! Thanks for watching, and thanks for your comment re Snooker and Pool. As for the West Indies, I sailed on Azura round the Canaries, and felt it was a wonderful ship for a great route - I wonder if it could be worth giving a go! Thanks a lot for watching!

Thank you for your in depth review. We are taking our first cruise ever on Azura next month so now I’m reeeeeeeally looking forward to it!
Ahh, that’ll be here before you know it. Thanks a lot for watching, and have the best trip!!

Ahh, enjoy! She’s a lovely ship - I really enjoyed my time onboard. Have a great trip!

Great ship tour Fraser, I’m going on Azura February canaries and Madeira can’t wait 😻
Ahh, thanks so much for watching - glad to hear you enjoyed!
You’ll love Azura - she’s a great ship!

Thx again handsome! I needed this break from US elections, I voted today 😊 ugh now relax with your videos! ❤
Ahh, I’ll always offer you the break - check back soon, haha! Thanks a lot!
Brilliant video Fraser, thank you. Will be on Azura in April & July 2025 (Mark, Solent Ships🔧 )
Ahh, great that you’ve got 2 trips booked on her. Thanks a lot for watching - glad you enjoyed - AHOY!
Thanks
Thanks for watching, Wendy!

As a solo passenger, do you eat at a table on your own? If yes, do you feel uncomfortable doing so? Great videos

Can you get a day pass for the retreat?
I believe it depends on the cruise. I’ve only ever bought for the week.
I think it’s Princess who offer day passes for their version of the Retreat, but I think P&O might be cruise length passes
Just wondering how long ago this was filmed? Just trying to get a very recent picture of the ship
Hey! This was filmed about 18 months ago, but the ship hasn’t changed since 😊
@@FraserAtSea Ah, so Christmas 2022. We were on in March 2023 .
When is this from?.
This is from a cruise I took at the very end of 2022. She’s not been refurbished since, so all remains the same! 😊
