Thank you

Thanks for subscribing . The weather is looking promising. Can't wait to get going 😀

Oh , it was a lot of fun. I am a huge Stitch fan and we got to watch the film in their private cinema which I hadn't seen for a while! Just checked out your channel and seen you have just been to Copenhagen. Love it there and of course Tivoli was a big influence on Walt 😀

😄It was very tasty

Yes, it is much easier to see and understand when you pay direct yourself. I believe on Princess for example all the auto gratuities are pooled and shared out fleet wide. On p&o it has become a little easier as gratuities are included in the price of your cruise and if you choose to pay a little extra then of course you can but there is no expectation.

Hope you like it.

You can book Disney dining 60 days out from the reservation date. The only difference with a Disney Resort Hotel such as the Contemporary (the Drury is a Partner Hotel) is that their guests could book at 60 days out from their check in date for the entirety of their stay e.g. if they were staying for 10 days they could book all 10 days at the 60 day out mark. Hope that makes aense

I'm going to need that sheep 🤣

Welcome aboard!You guys have certainly done a lot of cruising. Where are you off to next?

@@maverickgil Thank you 🙏 We actually have nothing booked yet, this is the first year we have no plans, life’s been a bit of a rollercoaster this year but we need to get one booked asap 😂 Fancy the Norwegian fiords but also would like to sail into Kotor - maybe we’ll do both 😍

Love the Fjords, a beautiful cruise experience

Hi, Embarkation time is partly based on membership of the loyalty club(Peninsular), for example Ligurian and Suite guests will be given the earliest arrival times , followed by Baltic and Caribbean tier. Booking a suite or a mini suite is therefore one way of getting an early boarding time. You can join the "early queue" at the port ,but whether they let you board early will depend on how busy your cruise is . 😄

@@maverickgil That's very helpful-Many thanks-Alan and Cheryl-Plymouth

Love it

Thank you.

we are coming in December 2024, can't wait

Hope you enjoy it. We will be staying there again ourselves, later this year. Glad the video helped 😄

One of my favourites 😄

Thanks it is a beautiful ship

So much choice, there are plenty of good places to eat on Arvia. Enjoy Iona, we are booked on the Iona soon too!😃

Forgot to say that Iona does pizza in the Olive Grove unlike Arvia

Hope you have a wonderful time 😃

You’re welcome 😊

Hi, yes there will be a vlog on some of the ports we visited. Cadiz you can walk off and straight into the city which is lovely, Barcelona and Valencia there is a short shuttle bus ride to the city which are both worth seeing La Coruna you can also walk off and is a lovely town with shops and a beach. Alicante is also a really nice city with shops and beach with either a reasonable walk or shuttle ride to town and beaches(or a trip to Benidorm).

Hi, If you go into my p&o cruises for your cruise reference it will show you specifically what entertainment is pre- bookable for your cruise. It is mainly shows that are in the Headliners theatre and the Limelight Club. I believe the 710 is normally booked once on the ship either through the web service or by joining a physical queue each night on a first come first seated basis. I have another vlog "So you booked a cruise!" on the channel which takes you through the pre booking process we went through online for Arvia which might help.😄

You will have a great time, I am sure 😄.

We are as well, k409. Let’s hope the weather is good… fingers crossed!!

🤞for you

@@maverickgil let’s hope we haven’t had a proper holiday since Covid. So we decided this year was the year to get back too it.. we are also going to the canery islands end of September on the Britannia. Great and informative video by the way!

@@Hankercheif Great to be back travelling again. Brittania is a nice ship.

Yes Iona and Arvia are very similar with some subtle differences. Sailing on Iona next year to the Canaries and looking forward to that one. P&O look to have confirmed that pre booking of dining now available 120 days before sailing but having some "teething problems" with the system! New show coming to the Arvia in June, current shows been running since the launch I believe. 😀

Is it perhaps p & o ferries you are thinking of , which is a completely different company ?

It was P&O Ferries that sacked their staff not P&O Cruises. They are two completely different companies with P&O Cruises being owned by Carnival Corporation whereas the Ferries company is owned by DP World. They are not affiliated with each other

Thx guys

We are back to that lovely Florida sunshine this Winter-can't wait.

@@maverickgil and very tempting you've made it look 👍

It has been a little rough and foggy off the coast of Africa this morning. Most of today though has been beautiful sunshine and calm seas in the Mediterranean.

It's very nice Maximus 😀

That's awesome 😎

You will have a great time, the Arvia is a beautiful ship.

It's a great show 😀

I think others, who shall remain nameless , placed extra items in my case 🤣!

Hi Jennifer.Really quick because the Drury bus doesn't stop at other hotels to pick up, it is straight through to the Parks, approx 10-15 minutes.

@@maverickgil Thank you!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it and much appreciated Gil

Glad you enjoyed it! Gil

Hi, We mainly used the hotel bus service for the parks, which was good on the whole and free of charge;you can book this at the hotel in advance online, normally the night before. On occasion we did use an Uber ,which are readily available and the costs were for a one way journey as follows: Magic Kingdom & EPCOT $14, Hollywood Studios $9 and Animal Kingdom $16. These prices do vary based on time of day, demand and choice of vehicle; if you have the app it is very easy to see what is available and pick the best deal for you. An alternative which we have used as well , is to walk to the Disney Springs (5mins) and get on the Disney transport there, or walk to Saratoga Springs(15 minutes walk next to Disney Springs) and get on the Disney Transport direct to the Parks from there. Lots of options in the Springs area. Gil

Hi and thanks. The music is the "Bossa del Sol"

The best!
