new viewer here just subbed your channel thanks for sharing
Thanks for the info John. Off to the Carribbean for the first time in a few weeks on Discovery and looking forward to it 🍻
I am sure you will have an amazing time. Thanks for watching and commenting
I’m in this cabin next year ! Is this the single room interior cabin? I thought it was didn’t realise they had twin beds in?
Two beds pushed together. It was very comfortable. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
Hi, would love some Info on doing the tour, we plan to go there at Xmas 2025
Sorry for the delay. On a caribbean cruise lol. If you look at other comments you will see the email details for the company in question. Let them know that my channel pointed you in the right direction
Who are you sailing with in January?
Hi Paul. Hope you are well? P&O Britannia this time with Lisa 😊
@@cruisingwithjohn we will be there at the same time on Arvia
Another great informative video John 🎉
Thanks Ryan. Hope you are well 👍
Thankyou John, so easy now, can i just add a warning to your viewers do not use auto fill as i did for my wifes details i woke up at two in the morning and thought have i done it right and of course i haddn,t auto fill did not have middle names that your passport has, it was quiet easy to edit the form after you have retrieved it.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing this with us
Could have been a good video, but no description of the flight, food offering etc. Then there's that annoying music....
Yes unfortunately had a tech issue with the flight bits which was annoying as you have to be sensitive to other travellers. I will take the music criticism onboard for next time. Thankyou
How much is the land taxi to Villa Beach?
Thanks for commenting. It varied but was around $15 to $20 per person.
❤❤❤❤
Thanks matey much appreciated 😊
Did you manage to get into the Nr 1 lounge? I was under the impression that you only needed to show your premium cabin boarding pass. My wife and I are flying out on 16/1/25 and will be travelling premium. Do you have to pre book the lounge?
The No.1 lounge is part of the Tui Premium Package whereas if you book a P&O cruise with Premium, it isnt. I did manage to get in (eventually) but the receptionist was certain we were not entitled until i insisted that she check. Apparently it had been over booked ???. Thanks for commenting.
@@cruisingwithjohn Thanks John, we are sailing on Marella Voyager so should have access to the lounge. As you mentioned if flying with TUI in premium and it's for a P&O cruise you don't have lounge access. I've always been a bit narked by that having cruised a few times with P&O. We are trying Marella for the first time in the caribbean after being disappointed with P&O Britannia on our last cruise 12 months ago. We have sailed a few times with Marella in Europe and have always enjoyed our time with them.
An excellent and informative video. We’re working through your Caribbean videos. Do you ever book any of the Marella trips or do you always use local taxis/trips?
Thankyou so much for your kind words. Yes I have been doing some Marella trips recently but not had chance to edit and upload. Watch this space. Thanks again.
Hiii John, what are the requirements to enter barbados as tourist? Im from the philippines
Hi it looks as though you just need to complete the immigration forms for a limited stay. Thanks for watching and commenting
@@cruisingwithjohn could you help me please, can you give me the website to have this immigration form?
@@gabriellecereno8983 www.travelform.gov.bb/
@@cruisingwithjohn thank you so much
Very helpful thxs
You are very welcome. Thankyou x. Have you located my new 2024/2025 version ?
Death in Paradise, may be filmed on Guadeloupe, but is set on the fictional island of Saint Marie, with the main action being set around the town of Honoré, as well as the Honoré Police Station.
Absolutely right. Great program 👍
Another great review John. Merry Christmas ⛄
Thanks Ryan. A very Happy Christmas to you too ❤
😮😮😊
It's great to see that they have made it so much easier.😄
Form has now changed slightly
Thanks for commenting. I have also posted a updated version of this form as they no longer require a photo.
Met John on our Cruise to the Caribbean very informative and great friendly guy x had a good chat and laugh with him x if your looking for info he,s the man Sarah & Craig November 24th cocktails and coconuts x
Wow nice finding him
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was great meeting you both and hopefully we will bump into each other again
If you are going on a cruise, but staying a couple of nights pre-cruise - do you just say cruise??
Really sorry for the delay. Put cruise and then the number of nights.
Hi this is hunter savage my nana and grandad are on the same cruise the other day but I don’t know if they’re still on it my grandad was called Craig and my nanas name is Sarah
Awww it's so lovely of you to commenting. I always say to come and meet with me. Always love a chat. the cruise was brilliant and would have loved to have met them x
Just met nana Sarah and Grandad Craig. What an amazing couple. You are very lucky. Plus they have spoken highly of you and are soo proud. If you need any help with your channel let me know
Please can you tell me the company you used for this tour
Hi. I'm away on a cruise at the moment but if you read further down you should see their details. Thanks for watching and commenting, really appreciate it
Isn't it so easy now, thanks John ,no more faffing around with the passport photo.
So much easier. It was always the photos that wouldn't upload or the dates being month/day/year. Thanks for commenting
How long before travelling did you complete the form ? Thanks
@@alanneilson6811They give you 72 hours before your travel date. No earlier. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
@ that is what I thought thanks👍
Immigration website been down for a few days,Marella said just use terminals inside airport if required or asked? IMHO having cruised before with Marella its of the plane,bus,ship. Never been asked for immigration form? Immigrtaion come on last day,take picture of Passports,cruise cards and on your way. Stamped passport on last cruise" Arrival by sea"? Strange carry on.
Hi. Thanks for watching and commenting. Can you imagine thousands of tourists/cruisers trying to use a few terminals to register? Mayhem springs to mind. I'm hoping the site will be up soon.
Perdóname papito Dios que a eses me olvidó por qué soy de la tercera edad
Not sure i fully understand your comment but thanks for watching
Is your recent cruise vlogs coming soon from the Iona John? We were on the ship with you and would love to see your trip 😊
Yes they will be up soon. Contracted covid which knocked me for six. Thank you so much for commenting and of course watching the posts 😊
Thank so much this is so useful as I’m in this cabin next April going to Norway 😄
You are very welcome. Let me know if you need anymore information 😊
Nice informative video John!👍😎
Thankyou so much 😊
Great video John 👍
Thankyou matey really appreciate it 😊 Now get that house
You're back!!!!! Looking very slim & and stylish as well 😎 Great video - Keep em coming Hope you're both well
Yes I'm back. Thankyou for noticing the weight loss, needed to lose a bit 😅 I hope you are both well x
Is the cost of stuff in the different islands listed in US dollars?
Yes it does seem that all caribbean islands want the US $ also make sure you receive change in the same currency. Thanks for commenting and watching 😊
Thank you..that’ll be me in January..😊
Your thoughts. Marella vs Britannia for the Caribbean?
Thankyou for commenting. Marella Voyager is a great ship but so is the P&O Britannia. However Marella give you much more for your money and at the time the entertainment was extremely good. So the Marella Voyager.....so far 😊
The taste isn’t that bad
Great Video. I’ve been trying to find a suitable video that mentioned embarkation and luggage drop off. I’m going away in November but we are at the Mayflower terminal. I have some questions if you wouldn’t mind helping me 🙏🏻😊 -Is there a drop off usually outside the terminal (my dad will be dropping me off) - Do we drop our luggage off before check in? I have done the online check in on our portal and Cunard have asked us to print our own luggage labels off. Would really appreciate your help. ❤ Many thanks. Kate
Hi. Yes there is a drop off point. Most panic around the area. Tell your dad not to worry and take your time, the staff are amazing and are happy to help and of course it's the start of your holiday. Yes always drop your luggage off 1st normally outside of the terminal. I will find out more information for you. Thank you so much for commenting x
@@cruisingwithjohn ahh that’s great, thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it. Yeah I can imagine I will be part of the panicky people ha! 🤣😀. I’ll try not to though! Thanks again!
Great video.
Thankyou so much. Pleased that you enjoyed it.
What’s song name on this video John? I have looked everywhere. Great video
I created it with Ai. Thankyou so much, very kind
Going on 23rd November, looking forward to seeing some of the sets on Death in Paradise. Thank you for your vlog.
You are very welcome. Thankyou for watching and don't forget to subscribe, it costs absolutely nothing 😊😊
We are big fans of Death in Paradise. and would love to do the same tour that you did. Please point us to a contact. I have looked at some of your other blogs, We like your plain and honest approach. Thank you and keep up the good work. Tom and Dianne
Awww that's such a lovely comment, thanks so much for watching and taking the time to reach out. The email address for this tour is contact@guadeloupe-explor.com, please allow for the time difference for a reply. When we did this tour it cost €79.95. Their phone number was +590690268111
Thank you for showing your 'mess' with this port. I am planning for a cruise in March and I've found that my family are not really interested in the ship excursions (they all seem to be to places away from the city which might say something right there!). It looks like we will walk or taxi into Old Town and do a bit of looking around. I hear great things about the Archaeology Museum but it might be a short day in port!
Thanks for watching. Planning is everything when visiting a new port that you haven't been to. The problem with the hop on hop off buses are that they are infrequent that you could, if not careful, wait hours for the next. We use taxis quite a bit in ports especially the caribbean. Thanks for commenting 😊
Is there no immigration control upon departure or arrival?
Yes 100%
@@cruisingwithjohn I didn't see it in your video
@@mcvse79 Sorry we aren't allowed to film this
"P&O Arvia - Wallace and Gromit stage production of All Hands On Deck. Performed at the Atrium of the cruise ship and enjoyed by all ages, this amazing production encapsulates everything that we have come to love about this pair.".... Is it impertinent to ask...are Carnival UK sponsoring you to promote this content?
@johnnierainey5761 P&O / Carnival are not sponsoring any of my content. Thanks for commenting though.
@@cruisingwithjohn No offense intended, John. However you will understand that the "P&O Arvia - Wallace and Gromit" narrative reads like corporate speak! Keep up the good work.
@@johnnierainey5761 None taken matey. I just thought that those that have taken this cruise may want to see some of it again. Again, thanks for commenting and watching 🙂
Hi😮😮😮
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Do you know the luggage gets scanned for alcohol ?
I know that all bags are scanned and if you have more than a bottle each then they are taken and given back at the end of the cruise. Thanks for watching and commenting

Great information. We just got email asking us to check in online but it's also asking for us to provide passport type photos did you come across this
Thankyou. Passport photos for the cruise ? If so, yes this is for the seapass card to verify its the owner. If you don't do this online they will do it on check in. Thanks for commenting and watching
Thank you for that it's our 5th cruise but first time asking for this. Arvia here we come
I'm new here. So far great.
That's great. Have an amazing time. Very jealous 😊
Thanks for this really helpful video. I see you parked in the short stay car park as you arrived early but surely you didn’t leave it there for the duration of your cruise? 🙏👍
@norfolkboy6935 thanks for watching. We were parked for around an hour and then unloaded the car. I then drove back around and parked up waiting for cps to register my car. All very straight forward. Thanks for commenting.
Great video John
Awww Thankyou. Thanks for watching
I am 7 days in. So far so good. Have felt fine throughout. I can’t speak to actual results just yet but will try to come back in 2 weeks to update.
😂 tell me how you get on. Thanks for watching and commenting
How did you go on this? Is it worth the money?
