    Great to see you back cruising and posting on this channel again. We watched the video and realised we were on the same cruise. We really enjoyed it too, it was our first time on Arvia.
    We said wouldn't it be strange if we spotted ourselves on your video. Then we did....twice!! We spotted ourselves (from the back) in the Neil Lockwood show in the theatre. Then we saw ourselves sat at the front in the Dean Stansby show in the Club House. They are both fantastic performers, some of the best we have seen on P&O.
    If you remember, Neil Lockwood was late joining the ship due to weather and only performed on one night. But he was amazing. We got off Arvia and then got on Iona the following day, and so we were delighted that Neil was also on that cruise and did two different shows.
    Hope your health is keeping in good order. Best wishes for more cruises soon.👍👍

    • @MattsOceans

      Fantastic - thanks for sharing that. A while back now!!! Neil was certainly a highlight and as I said, he knew what he was doing for sure!

    My best compliment I can give you is that I enjoy your vlogs equally to those of Emma (from Emma Cruises)-you both have a similar, bright and positive demeanor (as well as similar taste-she also was very positive about her recent experience on Arvia)

    Welcome back, although we still catch up with your adventures on your other channel.
    We are just off Celebrity Apex - our 6th with Celebrity and our 1st on an Edge class ship . Celebrity food has got a lot better in the last 18 months, so good that we (and many many others) ate in the buffet 7/13 nights - usually it's 1-2 . We have a secret favourite cabin type on Edge class ships now - but there isn't many of them so we are keeping quiet :-) . One thing Celebrity have gone daft on is drinks prices - insanely expensive, the premium package doesn't even include wine that can be picked up relatively easy in the UK for £9 a bottle. It was very easy to bring your own drink on board at the ports if you wanted to as all security seemed to be done in the port just before the Duty Free Shop!

    • @MattsOceans
      @MattsOceans  Месяц назад +1

      Thanks for that... I had noticed that duty free swerve on a P&O cruise which does seem to undermine the policy a little!!! And I know there are a few traditional balconies on edge class ships - I wonder if that's what you're hinting at!!!

    • @MattsOceans
      @MattsOceans  Месяц назад

      Thanks - I haven't although I saw advertising for a cricket themed cruise with some big names on it so perhaps I should.... A little put off by Emma Cruises experience where they had to cancel the cruise before it left port but after everyone boarded.... Although I think that was an inaugural and the certification wasn't fully in place....

    • @farrah7748
      @farrah7748 Месяц назад

      @@MattsOceans yes I think it was an inaugural cruise that was the problem. They have won travel awards since then, I really think it was a one off. My husband and I have done a lot of cruises including MSC and NCL and Ambassador is our favourite! Check them out, would be perfect for your Mum as you can embark at different ports all over the UK

    I would highly recommend Celebrity Cruises Matt and Mum. Wheel chair users always have Reserved Tables on their top-deck Buffet Diner called Oceanview Café. They do look after people with disabilities very very well. As usual please travel outside the School Holidays for the best experience.

    • @MattsOceans
      @MattsOceans  2 месяца назад +1

      Thanks Tim - school holidays are a well known no-no!!! We did cruise Celebrity before and immediately after the you-know-what and they were great, but they are quite expensive these days...

    The other issue with drinks package and some bars (Anderson’s was our favourite as well ) had limited drinks no way of getting Malibu in Anderson’s or brodies. Even though they took the order and money then came back to say they don’t have that drink🤯

    • @MattsOceans
      @MattsOceans  2 месяца назад

      That's a good point - it was all a bit strange. Just cruised Norwegian again and the crew would dash half a ships length and back again to fulfil an order if they didn't have the bottle to hand....
