P&O Cruises newest ship what did we think? #cruise th-cam.com/video/avMM1bT2VxE/w-d-xo.html
Will be sailing on Arvia on 1 st September, will be on for my 60 th birthday and looking forward to it, only have an indoor cabin i just hope it’s ok xx
We've done 4 cruises, 3 in a outside windowed cabin and 1 interior. 1 annoying thing that I hadn't thought about until we stayed in an interior cabin, you will have no mobile signal at all, well not on the ship we were on ( Explorer 2 ). So if you are used to waking up when the ship is already in port and laying in bed catching up on things on your phone, you may well find you can't do that until you make your way up to breakfast. That was our experience although it may be different on other ships ( but I doubt it ). Not a deal breaker ( we have an interior cabin booked on Arvia for next May ) , just something I hadn't considered.
This is a very good point and certainly something to consider, I for one do like to scroll on my phone whilst the kids are still sleeping and inside cabins are a big bear for this. Thank you for watching.
Great video guys, really handy! We thought and assumed that all outside cabins had a seat by the window, feel that P&O should make it clearer that this isn't the case - so thank you for drawing attention to it! We actually really like the sheltered balcony cabins lower down, this is what we're staying in when we go on Arvia in November :) looks nice, but still don't know what the interior designers were thinking when they decided not to put any drawers in! It's great that P&O are still offering free movies on demand, hopefully they don't start charging like other cruise lines (we wouldn't put it past them though).
Thanks as always for watching and commenting. Agreed it’s advertised as all but it’s definitely two are maybe a few more, poor really, but we do love those cabins. Yes agree those cove ones are nice to have sea so close! Looking forward to your coverage of arvia in November.
5334 was perfect for us , inside was more than ok and we paid 720 each on a black Friday deal, I can afford to pay more but it does what it says on the tin , Money saved for next cruise
Hi thanks for watching. I am not sure on this particular cabin hopefully someone reading will know. Have you checked on arvia Facebook groups some have descriptions of every cabin?
Hi there, my wife and I are looking to book on arvia for 2024. we can’t decide on which deck to book a balcony. defo not deck 8 but we want to avoid an obscured view. How do you find out which balconies have an obscured view? Many thanks.
Hi! Me and my family just booked a cruise holiday for this coming Christmas on arvia and we booked a balcony cabin for deck 9. I would recommend anything above 9 as nine can see a lot of the promenade below. There is nothing in the way of the view, but you can easily see the promenade so it looks a little disturbing. Also it may be very loud being on deck 8, 9 and possibly 10. We are trying to change to a higher room than 9 because of the view. Hope this helped!
Hi, we are new to cruising and are looking at booking for next summer. We are wanting a balcony room but which do you think are the best, ie. nobody walking right past you on the balcony and a good view? Thanks,
Hi, thanks for watching, so deck 9 and up you won’t have anyone walking past and all balcony rooms will have a great view other than those which will tell you they have an obstructed view 🙂
Hi Guys, great video. However, your review of the larger interior is *not* a larger interior. It's a common misconception that the square style interior cabins are the larger ones. In fact they are just alternate layout standard interior. The larger interior are longer rectangular ones that are almost identical to a balcony, but without the balcony (even to the fact some of them even have the curtain where the balcony would be!
Hi Stuart thanks for watching and commenting. Excellent additional information that I am sure will help others. I definitely liked the look of square shaped ones.
Hi never been on a cruise but like ideas of balcony. Looking at ships plan can’t decide between deck 8 or 9 or higher Also midship has been recommended. We are going on arvia med cruise so could be rough and my husband is not a good traveller on sea. He was seasick on board Thompson spirit when it was moored in larnika when we got grounded due to the volcano many years ago Please can you advise me
So our advice would be go midship and deck 8/9 would be fine, Arvia is so big that you will hardly feel the movement, I recall one day watching the waves crashing and thinking it doesn’t even feel Like the ship is moving. Thanks for watching have a great cruise.
Hi Sandra. Thanks for watching and commenting. You make a good point I think we were referring to top end products from white and company but yes all cabins have wall-mount type ones.
Hey, thank-you for watching and you kind words. 💯 agree extra on space I find when booking is not always appreciated but definitely is when you get onboard. Have great cruise.
@@cruisingwiththe4bs We had our first cruise this Sept on SKY PRINCESS where we stayed in a Mini Suite which was extremely spacious and comfortable. Obviously being our first cruise you learn as you go along regarding drinks packages etc… We had the Plus drinks package where we could drink 15 drinks in a 24hr period up to $15. The most I ever got to was 10/15 drinks as not a huge beverage consumer. All in all was a fabulous cruise and the food was excellent. We are now looking at our next Cruise & in particular P&O IONA/ARVIA for the Canaries in January and Fjords in June. They say you either love or hate Cruising, we absolutely loved it and can’t wait to get back out to the high seas🚢🌊🛟
@@LifeAtSea50 yes I think 10 would be about the same as us, although it just takes away the worry of the cost of next drink when it’s pre paid. I went on sky princess for the day and loved it, hopefully will get onboard for cruise in next few years, heading on Princess for first time next year can’t wait. Be interesting to see how sky compares to Iona/arvia

Can you choose between double or twin beds with the inside cabins? All the pictures etc only seem to show double beds
@@toms5161 hi Tom yes put pref before you board on website and easily changed onboard if ask the cabin steward
Always a balcony for me! Nothing better than waking to a new view every morning!
Thanks for watching James. 💯 agree
You can still get the view from ocean View cabins
Will be sailing on Arvia on 1 st September, will be on for my 60 th birthday and looking forward to it, only have an indoor cabin i just hope it’s ok xx
@@MarieParker-b6f happy 60th for September I am sure you will have a wonderful time 🙂

Had a cabin with a window seat on Arvia last Easter. Great place to relax with a book.
Love those seats best oceanview cabins at sea. Thanks for watching

Some balconies towards aft etc on deck 8 are bigger where the walk around narrows
Hi, thanks for additional information.
Nice video. We are getting a Sea View room.
Any idea what room Granny B had so we can avoid it? Kind regards, Helen n Andy
Love the one with a window
Hi thanks for watching. Yes it’s our favourite as well
5334 was perfect for us , inside was more than ok and we paid 720 each on a black Friday deal, I can afford to pay more but it does what it says on the tin ,
Money saved for next cruise
Very good price and quite agree! How much time do you actually spend in a cabin 🤷♀️ thanks for watching 😊
Which sea view cabins don't have the seats please?
Hi Carol, I think it’s only a few, not sure the exact ones but the one my mum had was the cabin furthest forward, so avoid that one if want the seat
We're staying in one of the coved balcony cabins soon (5507) and would like to know if this has the convertible bunk bed as shown?

Great video! Is there 24hr room service and if so, is there an additional fee?
Hi Allison thanks for kind words. Continental breakfast is free fill out card night before. Other times of the day it’s costed per item.
@@cruisingwiththe4bs thank you

Why in the accessable rooms that i am booked in is there a large pole in the middle of the toom that takes spacd for a wherlchair 😞😡
Hi Kerry. Thanks for watching. Yes that does seem a design flaw, definitely something to mention to P&O
Always a balcony , would feel claustrophobic for me . I like to sit on the balcony sometimes to some peace and quiet
Definitely, agree with you on this 🙂 thanks for watching
Hi never been on a cruise but like ideas of balcony. Looking at ships plan can’t decide between deck 8 or 9 or higher
Also midship has been recommended. We are going on arvia med cruise so could be rough and my husband is not a good traveller on sea. He was seasick on board Thompson spirit when it was moored in larnika when we got grounded due to the volcano many years ago
Please can you advise me

Like the ship is moving. Thanks for watching have a great cruise.
You get white company items in ALL cabins not just suites
Hi Sandra. Thanks for watching and commenting. You make a good point I think we were referring to top end products from white and company but yes all cabins have wall-mount type ones.
All good, but if I’m paying out for a cruise I’d have to go for a balcony.
Hi Steve thanks for watching. Agreed we definitely prefer the balcony’s mainly for sea views
K15205 inside cabin please
Why didn't you show us the solo cabins properly?!!!! That is the reason I started to watch your video.
Hi Wendy I am sorry I could not access to film a solo cabin so got my pictures and information from a fellow content creator. Aplogies
Balcony for me
Thanks for watching mike

Great Review Guys. Deluxe Balcony Cabin seems best for us as a family of 3. That extra space is worth the money I think 👍🏻🚢🛟⚓️
Hey, thank-you for watching and you kind words.
💯 agree extra on space I find when booking is not always appreciated but definitely is when you get onboard. Have great cruise.
