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!

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
The port buses you out of the port and it is a 15 minute walk to the old town. There's plenty to see and do once you get there. The archaeological museum is fantastic. And there are city buses that take you to Knossos or a beach trip to Ammoudara beach. I learned about all of this from other TH-cam videos.
We should have planned this port much better than we did. Maybe next time ? Thanks so much for watching and commenting
Appreciate the info👍
Very welcome and thanks for watching
What's the name of the tour company please?
contact@guadeloupe-explor.com, if you email them then they will give you the current tour costs. Thanks for watching
Can’t wait, looks lovely!
You will love this beautiful island. Thanks for watching😊
Did you visit before or after Beryl?
Before. We are there again this November. Thanks for commenting.
i was in that ship back 2010 when that ship is still mein Schiff
Absolutely loved it. Thanks for commenting and watching.
What room number is that, John? Or what deck?
On this cruise we were in stateroom 9059. Thanks for commenting
@@cruisingwithjohn Thanks for the quick reply. I'll be on Voyager for the first time in December on deck 8, port side 🙂 Can't wait!
You'll love it mate. Great service and entertainment. Are you doing the caribbean islands ?
@@cruisingwithjohn Yes. Boxing day we go on the Paradise Islands followed by A Taste of the Tropics
Great choice. We are on the Discovery 2 doing a similar itinerary mid January
Hi John Is there a dart board on the Iona?
Yes in brodies. Just be careful as they are lethal 😂. Thanks for watching
@@cruisingwithjohn Cheers John How many pool tables?
Just the one@@daveyravey678
Hi John Just got back. No dart board 😢
Great video John and Lisa ⛴️

Thankyou so much for your comment. Made my day 😊
Great video I’ve been to St Lucia twice now both times it rained 😂 Pigeon Island looks great let’s see if 3rd time lucky no rain in 26 😂😂
Thankyou so much for watching and commenting. Even the locals were surprised by the weather as it wasn't their rainy season but it didn't last too long. We just thought "typical we've brought the rain with us 😂". Have an amazing holiday x
Great video John :) Regards Ryan & Jensen
@@jensengage1139 cheers matey 👍
Having stayed in one, no one mentions the issue at night: the glass around the outside of the deck turns into a mirror, restricting your view out.
That's a very good point. As we didn't stay out at night we didn't see this. Thank you so much for pointing this out.
