Matthew, does this ship have a deck off of the buffet at the back of the ship with acoustic music at times? 10:42
@cruisecrazy7066Күн бұрын
Excellent video. And....No selfies or face shots. And...The music was strictly background and did not interfere with your commentary.

Thank you, Matthew, for the tour of this beautiful liner. Living in Australia, I'll never get to cruise on her as Cunard, sadly, are pulling out of the Australian market. I have to say, the Queen Elizabeth is still my favourite.

Off on Ventura soon and the mil booked us on it with them (we are still paying). Told it was a balcony room and turns out it's an indoor cabin. Looks depressing and dated (no offence to your video) compared to Britannia and Iona.so I'm considering not going now. £300 to upgrade to a balcony room.

Hi Matthew, I've just watched your video of MS Balmoral 😀 I've just been on my very first cruise, which was on MS Bolette and thoroughly enjoyed every moment! I'm booked on MS Balmoral next year, so found your video very interesting, I really liked Bolette. 2026 I'm booked on MS Borealis, so it will be interesting to see what that is like? I enjoyed everything about my cruise, the staff were lovely and very attentive, this was also my first holiday travelling as a solo traveller and I felt really at home ❤
@CruisingWithMatthewАй бұрын
So glad you really enjoyed yourself! She is quite different in comparison to Bolette and Borealis but you'll have the same friendly Fred Olsen crew and you'll have a great time I'm sure!

Sailed her sister, Discovery Princess, to Alaska last year. A beautiful ship, but a subpar design to be sending to Alaska it was inferior in almost every way to most of Holland America’s ships.

Hello Mathew. Thank you for your review of P&Os Ventura cruise ship. My hubby and myself have booked a 7 night cruise on this ship this coming September. This is our first ever cruise. Infact our first holiday since 2008!! We are both in our 60s. I was wondering if you could tell me how easy it is to know what areas to go into that are included in our cruise? I'm a bit worried that we will make silly mistakes and end up accidentally running up a big bill at the end because we went into the wrong eating place, or the wrong show! And, one last thing...do the pools have easy access/exit steps or just ladders?? I do hope to hear from you. Once again, thank you for your very informative videos. Have a lovely evening. Heather. 😊
@CruisingWithMatthewАй бұрын
My pleasure! Oh that's so exciting I'm sure you're going you're going to love it! In terms of included eateries it's the poolside grill, main dining rooms, buffet are all included :) all shows are included and the only extra charge spaces are the retreat and spa. However they'll always say what's extra charge and they'll never try to surprise you! I believe the forward facing pool does, as does the terrace pool and indoor pools. But check with p&o to be certain! Hope you have a great holiday!
