I’m just a little bit jealous. No wait. I’m quite a LOT jealous 😭😆😆 have a fabulous time! And merry Christmas to you! And thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
Excellent, Steph! I was on Azura shortly before Christmas last year, and it was lovely to see how P&O built up to Christmas - I can only imagine the atmosphere on board! Judging by that pool, it looks like you had a bit of a rocky season too, haha! The inclusion of things like midnight mass is a really nice touch too - looks like P&O had thought of a lot on this cruise, despite some teething issues (which, to be fair, can be absolutely forgiven given the added stress of new ship vs Christmas...!!)
Thanks for watching - hope you enjoyed your Bailieys! There was so much on each day - reading back through the Horizon Magazine again when creating this video made me realise we missed out on so much even though we still did so much. There's plenty of choice on board for a family cruise.
Thank you that was amazing and congratulations for not dwelling on the bad bits and not letting that spoil your holiday. It looked amazing. We have been looking for a new year cruise and May just got the P&O way. We are due to sail in May on Arvia so will judge then if it’s what we want. We are used to royal Caribbean but in the past couple of years the price and the thought of a long flight has put us off that option. Once again thank you
Thank you so much! I don't tend to create the dramatic clickbait style videos just to get the views - I just wanted to show what a Christmas cruise was really like. I created the video to get people excited about their holiday. We really enjoyed our Christmas Cruise and wish we were back on ship again this year. Have an amazing time on Arvia (I've got some more videos coming up over the next few weeks to so keep a watch out for them). Merry Christmas. 🎄
Hi sue. Thanks for watching. We were in a suite so the epicurean breakfast was included. But I understand you can now book on board (I think it’s £8.50 pp) to dine there for breakfast.
@@CruiseWithAmberHi Amber we are going for this Christmas 2024 it will be our first ever cruise so we making the most of it and booked a suite, are all meals included in the price of the suite or just Epicurean breakfasts. It cost 6000 each on deck 15, please advise cannot get through on then-hone tried every day since booking.
@@CruiseWithAmber One was some kind of anniversary it was a game of monopoly, the other was Azura in a glass bottle when shaking it looks like isn’t snowing, the other was a posh tine of biscuits (which I still have unopened). All came from my trips on Christmas cruises on Azura. Been on Ventura twice and Britannia once. Longing to go back, maybe this year 👍
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.

Did P&O leave you a wee present? I got 3 from past cruises on Azura. Just noticed further on, you did get a present.
It was a lovely little memento. I saw a few people post their's on Facebook this year too. that's a great collection if you've already got three.
