@@stevethomas760 Hi Steve, MSC choose the cabin / location from the unbooked inventory and once your upgrade is confirmed you are allocated that new cabin and the number shows in your online account within 48 hrs. Your original one is given to someone else. You cannot change your mind and withdraw your offer, even if it’s unacceptable, so it’s a risk that you may get an undesirable cabin at the higher category. Upgrades don’t work for everyone, especially if you have certain cabin or location requirements, more than 2 in a cabin or travelling in a larger group all located together. We’ve had a few upgrades so far and touch wood, all have worked out but it’s something important to consider before bidding.

@@cruisefraterpoultons Thanks for taking the time to reply. Looks like we are sticking to our original booking rather than taking a chance on an upgraded room in a bad location. Thanks again

@@stevethomas760 You’re welcome, thanks for your questions, we really appreciate you watching. If you have any other MSC questions, just let us know we’ve done quite a few on 5 different ships. Hope you have a really great cruise 🚢 😍

@@CruisingOutnumbered thank you, we really appreciate you watching and leaving a very nice comment 😍 We just headed over to your channel and subscribed and look forward to watching more videos. The behind the scenes was very entertaining 👏

@@cruisefraterpoultons 😊 thanks!

@@CruisingOutnumbered if you have any questions on Arvia, feel free to ask anytime. We’ve got lots of Arvia reels on Instagram too.

@@grapesodatravels thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment, we really do appreciate it. The ships do look extra lovely at Christmas. The good thing about a cruise is there are plenty of quiet spots around the ship to enjoy the views and read a book. Some beautiful libraries with floor to ceiling views of the ocean 😍 Julie xx

@@teamfivetravels ah thanks so much, really appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. Yes Sindhu was our favourite place we ate, we would have gone back again but ran out of nights. There was so much tasty food and the service was excellent. It was decorated so nicely as well, very posh 😍

@@skdantone Thank you so much for a wonderful comment ❤️ Next few videos coming up are looking at the P&O drinks package and 100 essential tips & hacks on Arvia if you want more Arvia information 🙏🏼

@@InnocentsAbroad Thank you so much, every video we make, we get a little better but still got a long way to go, we definitely look at your channel for inspiration as you guys do things exceptionally well and we can only aspire to be as good one day. Those voice overs are harder than they look and I’ve got so much respect for all creators who talk and appear in their videos. Yes the Grand Atrium is beautiful to look at and you definitely gravitate towards it each night. Brodies was a great place and the quiz was great and John watched the football in there whilst I did some videos- I won’t mention the bit where I took his cruise card by accident and he couldn’t buy a drink all match 😂 We loved Sindhu & Glass House, usually cruising we rarely pay for speciality dining but P&Os prices are very reasonable we booked 3 this cruise but not so keen on the Beach House having previously loved it on Ventura many years ago. Thanks so much for watching and the lovely comments 😍

@@cruisefraterpoultons lol re: the cruise card!

😂 I did feel bad 😂

@@HorseRidderFromMars fabulous, what was your favourite part of the ship?

Definatly watching the sun set ❤🎉

@@HorseRidderFromMars ah yes agree with you there, you can’t beat a sunset at sea 😍 I bet your camera roll is full of photos- sunsets are so beautiful, we can’t stop taking photos and when we get home we wonder why we took so many 😂

@@elizabethbarrass2677 Fantastic, you will have an amazing time. So much to eat, drink and see 😃 you won’t want to leave 😍 Any questions now or nearer the time, please just ask, happy to tell you what we know. Got a drinks package explainer video coming out next where we show you what we drank versus the package and a review if it’s worth getting or not.

@@cruisefraterpoultons aw that would be amazing

@@TravellingWithTeens Thanks so much for watching 😍 You should love Iona as it’s practically the same. Are you doing the Norwegian Fjords itinerary?

Yes, we’re on the first fijords cruise of the season! Just like we did the first Alaska cruise this year. We’re sensing a pattern here…

@@TravellingWithTeens Oh fantastic, we really want to do that one but keep putting it off as we are always sun starved and looking for heat. You beat me to it, I was just going to say, you do like to be on the first sailing of the season.

No charge for sitting in the Sunset Bar or using the whirlpool (pay for drinks) and it's open 10am-11pm, and the whirlpools are open 8am - 8pm SKYDome & Bar are also free to use but there is a charge for using "The Retreat" sun deck - we didn't pay extra to use this and charges vary by sailing I believe and spaces are limited.

@@deniselitchmore542 Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👏 You will have a great time, the ship is beautiful and lots to do. Pre book as much as you can before you go, dining & entertainment wise as things often get fully booked. Are you on a Med or Caribbean cruise?

@@lowdowntravel thank you so much for watching 😍😍glad you enjoyed it 👏

@@TheWigglywiggly 😂😍😂😍

@@lowdowntravel thank you so much 🙏

@@MikeRheannasAdventures thank you 🙏 We will do the same,

@@ruby23876 Hi Ruby, thanks very much for watching, leaving a comment and subscribing. Yes you are right about the free water in the buffet, for hygiene reasons we fill a glass or coffee mug and then decant into our water bottles. On our first ever cruise 14 years ago, it took us 6 days to discover you got free tea and coffee etc in the buffet areas 😂

@@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619 Nice is full of lovely places to sit and have a drink and bite to eat. The narrow streets and squares in the old town are very pretty. Plenty of wine to drink and soak up the atmosphere. Thanks so much for watching and commenting ❤️ Sorry for taking so long to reply, I’ve been struggling with my Long COVID, every now and again I get fatigue and have to stop everything for a while and then I managed to trap a nerve in my neck, so it’s all been going on 😂 Julie xx

@@keyovangsta12 Generally inflatables are banned on cruise ships as they take up space in the pools. Out of caution I would hire one on the island as your luggage is scanned before you board and I’m not sure if they will allow you to take them on board, solely to use on Ocean Cay. We didn’t see anyone carrying floaties to the island. 🏝️

@@jonathanrobert2863 Hope you enjoyed it, it’s a great ship, we loved it 😍

@@thelifeofacruiser thank you so much 🙏 for your amazing kind comment and thanks for watching, your support is greatly appreciated. Have an amazing week ahead xx

@@dougthomas7852 Thanks Doug for taking the time to leave a comment, it’s part of a Tips and Tricks series and hopefully had some useful information to help you get the most of your day at Ocean Cay. If you have any other Ocean Cay questions, just ask away. Enjoy the rest of your week. 😎

@@cruisefraterpoultons I used to always be in a pool but same as you now only if hot!

Thanks for watching 👏 Yacht Club is lovely if you get the chance to try it. It’s definitely a VIP experience but at reasonable prices 😍

Thanks so much for the lovely comments and for spending the time watching, we really appreciate the support. 👏🫶 P&O really know how to do nice Christmas decorations, we loved seeing them. 😍

Thanks so much for watching 😍👏 Yes it’s an impressive atrium, looks gorgeous with the Christmas decorations 🎄

That’s great, hope you are starting to get excited. Do you stop at Ocean Cay?

Thanks for the lovely feedback and for watching. We’ve heard Iona and Arvia are pretty similar, fingers crossed you’ll love being Iona. 😍👏

Thanks for the amazing feedback, going to pin this lovely comment. If I took any longer to get that video out, it would have nearly been time for this Christmas decorations 😂 Have a great weekend 😍

Thank you so much, that is very kind of you 🙏🏼
