I knew I shouldn’t have watched this before eating dinner tonight - I absolutely LOVE Sindhu. I always think the price they charge is such great value compared to what you’d pay on land! Glad you had such a good experience in there - I always recommend it to everyone the second I hear they’re going on P&O!
Another great vlog series so informative I don't remember last time I went on P&O that they did not issue new tags for disembarkation I will remember to keep them from boarding as I usually bin them. Looking forward to using my new luggage tag covers on my round Britain cruise on June 1st on sky Princess.
Thank you so much we really appreciate it! 😀 It was strange but on our fly cruise in February they did issue us new ones! Sky Princess is beautiful and we had an amazing time, have a great cruise! 😀
Thanks for the positive feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to watch. Have a fantastic time on Arvia and please let us know how you get on
Re Prize passports. I was on Ventura at the same time but for 5 weeks. I can’t remember how many stickers I amassed in that time from winning at bridge and a few quizzes. I was able to choose from their prize catalogue of n the last afternoon. I ended up with a champagne stopper, a “weather station” -no instructions! And a portable power bank. I was a few short of having enough stickers for the binoculars. A bit of fun really and for those recall them like Green Shield Stamps! Good Vlog, by the way!
Thank you so much for answering! That’s really interesting! Not the usually flip flops and pens! 😀 We will definitely need to up our game on our next P&O cruise 😆
Just came off Arvia Sunday , 2 weeks in the med , no creeping in our cabin , deck 11 balcony , loved 710 club amazing , and stunning ship 🚢 ❤ we got off at 8-40 am so think we missed the ques but heard terminal was busy at later times
Can't say I noticed that noise on iona...we were on one of the sheltered balconies on deck 5 though. Would really recommend deck 5 on this class of ship...really quiet and close to all the amenities on the central levels. As for Sindhu....stunning...that veg side dish is one of the best things I've ever eaten!
Thanks for your comment it’s always good to know which cabins and decks are good! We will look at those next time we go on Arvia or Iona. We agree it was incredible 😊
Enjoyed your video series, liked your end of day reviews of food, ship and entertainment. It’s made me think about a possible P@O cruise. I think I would enjoy the Very heavy Uk focused food and entertainment but not sure my husband would though. He’s Canadian born and bred and I’m Canadian raised British born. Once again enjoying the series!
Thank you so much! 😀 We have just come off of an Ambassador cruise. They are a new British cruise line and there were some Canadians onboard for their second Ambassador cruise! It’s only been operating for 12 months! They seemed to love it 😀
I loved watching these blogs on the Arvia! I’ve never done a cruise before and was thinking about doing the Arvia in the Caribbean next year as a solo! Please if you don’t mind guys could you tell me the best ship/cruise you’ve been on and how does this compare? Thanks very much
Thank k you for watching. Arvia is a great ship. The best cruise we have been on was our last one to Greenland as we have never experienced scenery like it. We don’t have a favourite ship because they all have things we like and some things we don’t. Choosing a cruise will really depend on what you want
Thanks for the well-balanced reviews.🙌 Your views and suggestions are very useful. We prefer traditional dining with set times and not having to book and use phone to plan life on a cruise, thanks for your experience. Finally have to agree Sindhu is a must do we'll have to wait till Christmas on Arcadia to enjoy several visits 👌😋
Another good vlog series and very well balanced. We noted you got a cab to somewhere to get your car. We normally park at port but the prices have jumped recently. Who do you use, are they a competitive price? Thanks.
The noise of sunbeds being flipped open every morning at the crack of dawn was just as noisey on Iona. We early birds, but if you wanted a lie in there there was no chnace at all! Gave you quite a fright the noise every morning when u half asleep!
Thanks for the reviews. Simon (my son who is a full time wheelchair user and multiply disabled) and I sail on 9th July. I am hoping I can book Sindhu for us although it might not be the chicken tikka masala he would expect 😆 Don’t relish disembarking on my own with him in that crush so hopefully we will get some help which we’ve had previously on cruises. Glad your overall perspective is positive too - I’ve read a few reviews on Facebook that have worried me but I think a holiday is what you make it overall. As they still do fried bread at breakkie in the buffet and chips at other times, Simon will be in heaven (no sign of spag bol though which is his go to meal). Thanks again love your reviews.
We hope you and Simon have a fantastic cruise on Arvia. Sindu was great and worth trying. We hope they would have sorted out the disembarkation process by the time you have to do it. If you do have any diet requests we would recommend having a chat with the restaurant manager as they will probably be able to accommodate you. Maybe even do a spag bol. Happy cruising 🚢😊
Very much with you on disembarkation, we were on Iona last year and it's a nightmare. The main problem seems to be that there's a bottleneck where you're trying to get out of the terminal and no real management of it. Could definitely do with more exits, more space or at the very least better management. With me and my partner both being autistic we found it very overwhelming... Not that it's put us off sailing on Arvia later this year, mind
Thanks for your comment! 😀 Hopefully they have sorted it by now, it is the last thing anybody needs after a cruise! I’m sure you will have an absolutely great time onboard! 😀
I really enjoyed watching you guys every Monday! Can I ask why you waited to the last day to collect your casino winnings ? Arvia will be my first cruise in July, and I do enjoy roulette on holidays
Thank you 😊 We waited until the last day because our winnings were saved onto our cruise card and we usually leave any money there until the last day so that we don’t have to keep charging our onboard account when we wanted to play! Have a great cruise 😀
Never had too much trouble in baggage reclaim we found that the problem is people don’t go to the right section but like in the supermarkets going up down and every which way 😂 but do agree there are a lot of rude pushy people !!Surprised that you didn’t use CPS so much easier and no added taxi cost We always book Sindu at least twice it’s so good 😋glad you enjoyed it as well 👍
That’s a very good point, it is a bit chaotic trying to find the location of your luggage! The price of CPS for the two weeks was around £260, that was just a bit too much! We are so pleased we went to Sindhu had a fantastic time! 😀
Your lead-ins to your videos are turning into some of your best bits .👏 'Sin-do or Sin-dont' . Are either one of you tracking your steps on a daily basis? @ 17:15: I was typing about your casino wins as I saw no celebrations (flashing the cash, jumping up and down, etc.). Better to walk away with something instead of leaving empty-handed. 💸💰 On the T&D Travel 'Leader Board (hint, hint) it appears P&O gets the clear win on live entertainment and may take the lead on dining venues. Service & Hospitality - not so sure. Question: I noticed you are not taking room service on Arvia. How is it different than Princess in terms of cost and selections? Thank you for the full Arvia series. I hope to make my P&O reservation in a couple of weeks and will ask about the T&D Travels cruise incentive. 🙈
Thank you Chris! 😊 We like to think we are constantly learning and improving! The Entertainment onboard was great we both throughly enjoyed it! As it was the maiden voyage and a lot of the staff were new we think the service and hospitality would be better now! Room service on P&O is chargeable, fairly reasonable however they do add a delivery fee on Arvia and Iona! The selection available is also similar but more British, no cheesy chips 🤣 Oh that’s great news hopefully you will have a great time in terms of a T&D discount you can ask 😂

I always enjoy your vlogs!! Thanks you two🥰
Thank you. We really appreciate your support 😀
Thank you so much guys. We're heading on Arvia in the summer and this has been a really thorough and helpful series. Keep up the good work. xxx
Thank you so much 😊 Have a great time onboard 😀

Fantastic value and great tasting food. Hope you are enjoying your time on land.

Thank you, really enjoyed this Arvia series. We are on Arvia in October for our first cruise
Thanks for the positive feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to watch. Have a fantastic time on Arvia and please let us know how you get on
Great series gents, I can't wait to go on Arvia next April. I am busy looking for cruises for April 2025 now. 😵💫
Thank you so much! What are you thinking for 2025?
Fantastic series, sad to see it end. Well done you two
Thank you 😊

Thank you so much 😊
Have really enjoyed your vlogs. They have been really informative. We will have to wait until next July for our voyage on Arvia . X
Thank you! We are sure it will absolutely fly by.
Thx guys. Really enjoyed your vlog😜 So fully detailed, just loving you both. Till the next video❤
Thank you so much! That is very much appreciated
Loved watching your trip on Arvia I can’t wait for September to go x
Thank you!! Have an amazing cruise 🚢
We love Sindhu too, it’s always one of our favourite meals on a P&O ship! What a way to end the holiday 😋
It was fantastic, We couldn’t move afterwards 😂
Glad you enjoyed Sindhu , one of our favourites as well. Always feeling a little full at the end .
It really is a great speciality we struggled to move after wards 🤣
Really enjoyed this series, well done!
Thank you 😊

Thank you so much 😊 Using your phone to book does take some getting use to! I’m sure the food and the cruise will be amazing, have a great time 😀
Another good vlog series and very well balanced. We noted you got a cab to somewhere to get your car. We normally park at port but the prices have jumped recently. Who do you use, are they a competitive price? Thanks.
We used the car park in West Quay, the one used by Moxxy and Premier Inn. It cost £5 per day. Some people don’t like it but we have found it ok
The noise of sunbeds being flipped open every morning at the crack of dawn was just as noisey on Iona. We early birds, but if you wanted a lie in there there was no chnace at all! Gave you quite a fright the noise every morning when u half asleep!
Thanks for commenting! That’s sounds awful, we would struggle with that as well! Can I ask what deck you were on?

Tasty tasty very very tasty. The’re very tasty lol. Can’t remember what advert that is from 😀
😂
Me and my sister won a quiz on Iona- we didn’t get a sticker thing- we had a pen and key ring set
Well done! We now have done two P&O cruises and still have nothing 😂
Had the same issue on Iona
Thanks for your comment! That’s not good to hear!
I really enjoyed watching you guys every Monday!

The worst Sindhu experience I’ve experienced. I had to use my phones torch to read the menu, and the food was very bland.
Oh no! That is a shame
