Hi👋 I'm Steph. I started cruising in 2005 and so far I've spent just under 200 nights at sea. I created this channel because I love cruise holidays and I want to help you get the most out of yours - whatever your budget, itinerary or ship.
I run this channel on my own and in my spare time. I take time to research and create useful and beautiful videos. I prefer to create quality over quantity which means I might not always be able to upload weekly videos.
I like to keep things which are dear to me private, so you won't see much of me or my family in front of the camera. The main focus will always be the ship and the destination.

9 things to know before buying the P&O Drinks Package
Just round the corner from the cathedral, in a little calle infront and to the right there is a small bar where they do flamenco guitar playing and singing late mornings. It's free if you have something to drink, and you can also get a tapa or two if you feel like a nibble
oooh - great recommendation - thank you - can you remember the name of it at all?
Very helpful, thanks. Do they have decaff coffee as well please?
Yes they do - and there's also a great selection of herbal and non decaf teas.
@@CruiseWithAmber Thank you very much
My stomach is now growling! How do you find out about the pop up menus? Thank you.
Oops - maybe I should have put a warning on the video 😆 the pop up menu will be advertised in your navigator app. So download it as soon as you as you can before your cruise and then you can scroll through to book speciality dining .

Thanks for this info. I definitely won’t be booking deck 8, I want some privacy!!😮
Thanks for this. It's very concise and informative. I'll be cruising on the Oosterdam in 2 weeks 👍
Glad you found it useful - how exciting to be joining her in just 2 weeks! I’m a little bit jealous, I must admit 😊 have a wonderful cruise! And thanks so much for watching and taking the re to comment. I really appreciate it. Happy sailing!
@CruiseWithAmber thanks. I'm very much looking forward to the cruise 😊
Sailed on Oosterdam around Italy/Greece 2 years ago. Beautiful ship and wonderful food but found the resolutions of on-board problems well short of world-class. If booking this ship, make sure you take paper copies of everything you're expecting or have booked with Holland-America.
Oh I’m so sorry you had some issues when on board - I hope that didn’t spoil what sounds like a wonderful itinerary. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment and share your thoughts too - I really appreciate it.
@@CruiseWithAmber It was a wonderful holiday and we’d certainly sail on Oosterdam/HS again. I just felt the customer service desk didn’t seem to have the authority to sort issues out without referring to their US office. We’d had a similar problem on NCL involving airport transfers which was resolved immediately. Great TH-cam channel! Keep enjoying those cruises!! Love the website
The casino appears to be open to other areas. Is smoking allowed?
No, there was no smoking in the casino - the only smoking area was at the aft next to the sea view bar. Hope that helps.
@ it helps immensely! I’m so allergic to smoke and we just booked November 2025 Ft Lauderdale to San Antonio Chile. Do you know what will be done during the scheduled dry dock? Thanks!
Oh wow! - what a great itinerary. I’m hoping to find out some more about the dry dock soon - watch this space.
Sailed on this ship in 2019, thought it was ok, but not great. Smallish public areas, numerous service problems. Then two month later was on Viking Jupiter. What a revelation! Less than half the size of Oosterdam, light-filled, spacious, quiet, and impeccable services. Will never go back to Hollander America.
@@bobcochran2890what is the price comparison?
I came across your video on TH-cam and was absolutely amazed. Thank you so much for everything you share and teach; it’s incredibly valuable. It has been extremely helpful for me since we’ll be traveling in July 2025, and I’m always interested in learning what to do and how to get there in the best way possible. Sending you my heartfelt thanks and warm regards from the beautiful city of Tel Aviv, Israel. Thank you again for all that you do! 🌍✈
Thank you so much 😊 - I am so pleased the video was helpful and thank you for your super thanks and all your lovely comments. Safe travels ✈️🛳️
Very helpful information. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This is such a good guide
Thank you so much. ☺️
Some people do nothing but moan…
Have you heard people moaning about this swim up bar? I think it’s great.
Thank you! I’ve watched many train driver videos of the Flåmsbana and definitely want to take this journey when I go to Flam on a cruise in May 2026. This tells me everything I need to know.
I’m so pleased you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. It’s such a beautiful journey.

Thanks for the cabin tour. This is the cabin I'm booked in, 3 weeks from now! My friend will be next door. Can't wait to try VV.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching - have a great time on board!
Was delighted to see you'd posted this video. I cruised to Kotor last summer, and found it to be one of the best sail in's (and out's) I've ever seen - it was absolutely gorgeous in that Fjord!
Kotor sail in is without doubt worth getting up for.
How old is the Britannia?

This is incredibly helpful, we are booked into deck 8 over Christmas. I'm not loving the lack of privacy but I'm hoping not too many people are going to be walking past!! I was pretty pleased we'd been allocated deck 8 as I have mobility issues and being closer to the 'main' decks is a bonus for me. I guess we will see...!
Deck 8 would definitely be my pick if mobility/easy access is important to you. You'll find great access to all the main areas on deck 6, 7 & 8 and close to the lifts. Have a great cruise - and if you want to get a little but more excited, then check out this video - it/s for Arvia, but this ship is almost identical to Iona. th-cam.com/video/IxLuFkbX9qs/w-d-xo.html
We loved the Live music on Oosterdam, the band in the Rolling Stone Lounge were just fabulous!
They were amazing. Wish I’d had spent more time in there but billboard onboard was SO good too.
Went about 4 weeks ago. Amazing experiencce. I must have put on a stone. Food was plentyful and good.
@@markenetube 😂 yep - so much great food on board. I blame the sea air for making me feel hungry all the time 😆
@@CruiseWithAmber Yes that sea air made me have 3 desserts 🤣
What a great watch! I had my first four crew contracts onboard Oosterdam and this was a great trip down memory lane.
Glad you enjoyed it! You have to watch episode 6 - somewhere very familiar might crop up.
West Quay multi story car park says not suitable for overnight parking. Is this accurate?
Is that on the main website? Moxy website suggests parking there overnight as an overflow car park, as does the premier in. There were signs in the car park this year directing cruise parking to level 11.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m planning a mini cruise, and you have given me great information and ideas about what’s around Southampton.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, Does this ferry sevice operate during Edd March?
I think it’s best to check their website for the timetable for 2025 if it’s live yet.

Great tips for Athens, and the food tour looked excellent. We have only flown out from Athens so look forward to a time when we can see a bit more. That looked like some fabulous lobster too!
Thanks for watching! Yes - the Athens food tour was one of the best 'excursion' type activities I've done in port. So much fun. Lobster was THE BEST 🦞- I've been enjoying watching your time on board too.
booked E732 on Azura - will let you know - many thanks
I love those suite at the aft!!
I have this suite booked this december for canaries cruise 😅
@@piperhound have an AMAZING time!!!
Great video Steph and wonderful commentary. You've got a lovely voice. We enjoyed our 18 night Panama Cruise on Oosterdam. The food was great and I loved the entertainment. We're hoping to cruise around Japan with Holland America in 2026. Thanks for the Athens recommendations, we're in Athens for a week in February, it'll be our first time there.
Thanks for watching Angela, so glad you enjoyed it. It’s my ‘BBC Wales’ voice as my mother calls it 😆 there’s so much to do in Athens - definitely do the Acropolis early in the morning or at sunset door the best viewing experience. So pleased to learn you loved Oosterdam too. Panama Canal is definitely on my wish list.
Just back today and had a deck 8 cabin really loved it. Very quiet and easy access to the restaurants ect. It’s more of a decking and P&O should be selling them separately as a lot of people get caught out thinking they are a proper balcony cabin which they are not.
@@sailfish2271 you are so right with your last point. Thanks for watching and so pleased to hear you had a great cruise!
GREAT video! I absolutely loved the commentary! We're sailing from Athens next year, and you gave me excitement tingles! <3
Thank you so much for watching! - so pleased you enjoyed it - your feedback on this means so much as I know how much care and attention you put into creating your videos too. Hopefully you’ll get more time to explore Athens when you sail out of there rather than on a port visit - and hopefully get to see the Acropolis properly too.
Great cabin tour! We really liked our cabin on Oosterdam. Look forward to the rest of your videos! 😃
Thanks for watching- the cabins were great on Oosterdam weren’t they? Your super deep balcony looked wonderful- like the one on Queen Anne - love this class of ship. Not long to wait for the next video as first blog is now live - th-cam.com/video/4LI_oDcYVeE/w-d-xo.html
Currently onboard Adriatic suite on Iona, no daily canopes, food delivery in room services occurs a delivery charge and if you have purchased a sail away fare, not select, you have to pay extra for buses to city centre. Also no refreshments on arrival at Southampton port. Not really sure what perks you get bar a lighter wallet.
Thanks for the info and updates! Oh my gosh - they have really cut back on perks since we sailed in 2023. I can understand the saver far as this applies to all grades of cabin and was never a perk for suites. But the new delivery charge for room service food? - this is so disheartening to hear. Do you still get breakfast in the epicurean?
When is black tie nights or tie night on the Arvia at Christmas time. We arrive on the 14 till the 28 th December cannot find anywhere to ask about this. Please.
@@michaelryan2562 I have mentioned these throughout the video so they should be in there - I’ve also put the daily programmes for all the key dates over Christmas and New year. If you watch through and pause on the daily programme bits you can see what the dress code was on each day of I haven’t mentioned it.have a wonderful cruise.
Thank you for the fabulous video. I am curious as to what time of year this cruise was.
This was in October. It’s a lovely time to visit the Rhine. Autumn is spectacular
Master piece of engineering and sooo pretty!
@@zapfanzapfan I agree!
Thankyou
You’re welcome 😊
Hi can I get a upgrade on board if I pay
Sometimes upgrades are available on board - you just need to go to guest services/reception as soon as you get on board to check.
How deep are they please?
1m 40cm - more info on Iona pools here cruisewithamber.co.uk/po-cruises-iona-swimming-pools-your-complete-guide/
Really enjoyed this video, Steph. Boarding on Monday, so I’m excited now!
Ah thanks for watching - hope you have an excellent time on her and that the weather is good enough to take advantage of the swim up bar.
So you pay through your nose going on a cruise and then pay even more on these tiny portions
