    Very interesting to hear that there are so many differences to Iona. I get why there’s more to do outside because it’s a warm weather ship year round but changes to restaurants seem more perplexing.
    The 6th Street Diner and Green & Co look amazing, I wonder if they will be retrofitted?
    Sindhu is my favourite P&O Specialty Dining restaurant but I can’t wait to try the Keel and Cow soon.

    • @cruisingwiththe4bs
      @cruisingwiththe4bs  Год назад +1

      Hey as always thanks for commenting and watching.
      Diner was my favourite, foods good but it’s the theming! Loved it. Green and Co was the big shock, really tasty such a shame it was half empty a lot of time!
      Will be interesting to hear your thoughts on keel and cow. It was a great ship to film.

    Hi Guys, Great to meet you on board and a great video. My preference is still Iona over Arvia. As I said to you on board compared to MSC and Royal Caribbean we found that P&O is still lacking essentials for kids like a water slide. I can still hear those Spanish dancers/clappers in my head !!!

    • @cruisingwiththe4bs
      @cruisingwiththe4bs  Год назад

      Thanks Ray, it was lovely to meet you also 😊 watch out for todays video as you made the thumbnail lol.
      Agree with all of your points, maybe next time P&O will add something actually for kids 🙄 as those high ropes are for 10+ really due to height restriction. Thank you for watching 😊

    Fantastic tour of Arvia guys, your best ship tour yet :) she looks like a stunning ship, and we're excited to sail on her to the Caribbean later in the year! Compared to Iona, she seems like the better sister - the ship just seems to have a bit more character. Have been on both recently, which do you prefer?

    • @cruisingwiththe4bs
      @cruisingwiththe4bs  Год назад

      Thank you very much gents, she is a beautiful ship, hopefully you will have better luck with sun beds than us in the Caribbean 😂. I think of the two Arvia just has the edge with the new restaurant concept and the little extras, however it was nice that it’s the exact same layout as we knew our way around straight away, will be interested to see what you think of her 😊

    hello great vid, we are due to go on the arvia in july 24 after seeing ur walkaround we are more excited. can i ask .. can you go in the pools with the kids at anytime? also does it feel like you can walk around free or is there loads of people in ur face ? thank you

    • @cruisingwiththe4bs
      @cruisingwiththe4bs  7 месяцев назад

      Hi, thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated.
      All pools are child friendly except the beachcomber which is adults only, but this one is far away from the rest. The inside one closes around 6 to get ready for evening entertainment. Others normally close for the night sometime in the evening for cleaning etc.
      Certain places especially on sea days can feel busy (buffet, around pools on nice days etc) but you can escape these always and find a quieter place, port days can be especially quiet. Have a great cruise.

    QUESTION: As a family with two children, did you opt for a drinks package? We going in July and also have 2 kids, and we are pondering its value.

    • @cruisingwiththe4bs
      @cruisingwiththe4bs  Год назад +2

      Hi Andrew, thanks for watching.
      We decided against it and always do on p&o. The drinks prices are very good on p&o and the drinks package is expensive in our view. Remember you can take as much soft drinks as you like , we take whole suitcase and top up in port and one litres of alcohol each (for use in cabin 😄). If you take water bottles plenty of water stations around the ship. We drank quite a lot never worried on what type of drink we were having and didn’t go near the cost of drinks package. Also with 5/6 ports you then can have drink off the ship.
      This is just our opinion others will differ, Hope have a great cruise. Any other questions please ask.
      Tom

    Just asking for a friend, going on his first ever cruise, to The Caribbean with P&O in December.
    The travel agents where he booked his cruise keep sending him emails regarding excursions during the cruise.
    Is it worth booking these in advance, or can they be booked during the actual cruise. Do they work out the same price, or is there an advantage to booking early (within the UK) or late (during the cruise

    • @cruisingwiththe4bs
      @cruisingwiththe4bs  9 месяцев назад +1

      Hi Brian. Thanks for watching and commenting. Regards excursions the only advantage of booking before is if it’s at risk of selling out. If your onboard you can Ofcourse use onboard credit you can’t if booking before. If want ideas on Caribbean Arvia cruises and excursions then I would check out cruising Coleman’s some great ideas.

    Hi, great vlog, we're boarding Arvia next week (17/9). Couple of questions, Sindhu, I'm sure you said if you book in advance & pay cover charge (£10pp) that they give you 20% discount on total bill. Is that true because it doesn't mention that on the website?
    Can you go in the Keel & Cow just for drinks or do you have to order food?
    TIA, Mike

    • @cruisingwiththe4bs
      @cruisingwiththe4bs  10 месяцев назад +1

      Hi Mick, thanks for commenting and watching.
      Yes when we were onboard, early June. We booked two weeks before when the bill came at end of the cruise the £10 pp and 20% discount was added.
      Definitely can head to keel and cow just for a drink, it kind of all mixes into one in the atruim, but your be able to see the bar area to the side.
      Anymore questions just ask have great cruise

      If I recall there are different packages of WiFi, you can buy each day or for the whole time, it’s approx £14 for 24hrs (although don’t hold us to that lol) but it’s not cheap and not the best connection.

If you want to do a lot of official excursions then yes you would be heading upto 3k but we find in the med, DIY is cheap and easy.
