Such a shame you didn't compare like with like cruises & provided a floored analysis. A cruise with a long haul flight to the far East is always going to be more pppn compared to a European cruise!

I was just scrolling through my KZbin and came across this video! I was on this cruise at the exact same time as you, but did two weeks including the week before. I hope you had a lovely time!

We were on last week too 🎉

Great vlog guys. Enjoyed this style. Food looked lovely. You have a good choice in authors...as an ex librarian I love a good Stephen King book. The balcony cabin looked great. Malta does fireworks very well. Look forward to more of your adventures soon. ❤

Awww, it’s really lovely to see this ship. We sailed on her last year 😀 Thank you for the video.

Nostalgia!!! 😭😭 She was the one who started it all! Our very first ship! ❤

This a a great video! Extremely detailed. Oh dear, we must be raging alcoholics haha!! 😂 P&O’s drinks packages aren’t the cheapest, but they’re certainly more affordable than some of the other mainstream cruise lines! We definitely fall into the category of not wanting to worry about an expensive bill at the end of our cruise, and we can’t recommended Marella enough! 😃

Love the walk in wardrobe that's such a great idea. That is a snug bathroom. Lovely cabin - one day we'll be able to afford a balcony! At the moment we'll take more cruises on inside cabins! Cheers 🍻

We definitely need to give MSC a go. It looks glitzy and less vintage than Costa. I know you had a very unique experience shall we say, but they looks lovely ships 🍻

This was a lovely reminder of Iona. Cheers 🍻

Can we do both please???? I think Norway will come first for us, but Alaska looks amazing too. Great video guys 🍻

Great review guys. Love the wardrobe space. Those older ships definitely have more storage room. I'd rather have a smaller bathroom but more storage. Nice balcony. Hope the kettle was clean! Hope you had a wonderful time onboard. Look forward to seeing more of your adventures 😊

Netty that selfie mirror pose really tickled us 🤣 great review guys it’s a nice cabin! Biscuits didn’t last long! Outside space is always important to us so love the balcony! Take 6? Good going 🤣❤️

Be there in 2 weeks. Definitely looking forward to giggles and bubbles.

That's awesome. Thank you for sharing

P&O yer naff

Omg a fussball table would love ago of that with you Lady Cruise! These cruise tours in a nutshell are just brilliant ! Wow that sunset 🌅 Have a great weekend lovelies 🤴👸 🚢 ❤

Going in September

Hello Lord & Lady Cruise this was great and hopefully helpful for people planning their next cruise! Both places looked awesome! The glacier hiking and reindeer farms looked incredible! That shot of you with the northern lights is fabulous 💃❤️

Great videos guys. Just wondering how long this hike is?

Great tips. They will be very useful. Thank you ❤️👍

I've just came back from there .Me and my family love everything about the place. Great hoilday.

That was a lovely showcase of Iona! Amazing what you can pack into 2 minutes. Thanks guys.

Hi Lord & Lady Cruise! This is great you showed us so much in 2 mins ❤ have a great weekend x

Where did you eat lobster please xx

Marella Discovery 2 are not adults only

Thanks for the tour. How did you find being on deck 8?

Thanks for a wonderful video! I've seen lots of negative reviews of Arcadia but she looks great in your video. I know she's old and in need of refurbishment but we've just booked for the 2026 Solar Eclipse cruise. 16 nights in a balcony cabin at a fraction of the cost of other ships going to Iceland for the eclipse and it's adult only which is vital for us in August. If it's cloudy we won't see anything and we'll be delighted not to have wasted a fortune.😂😂😂

Personally we are now using Ambassador to keep within our budget and so far they have been excellent.

A very well presented Sophies Choice of an impossible conundrum! Both have pros and some cons - but not many. Thanks for this. 😁👍

Very poor cruise stop imho,apex did same cruise as iona but went to bergen on their last stop.

I live here 😁

You donlt take into account the size of the ships...P&O and MSC both sail much much bigger ships. Now if you want a giant ship fine, but Marella ships being smaller are really cozy and welcoming, you don't ever feel like you're just another passenger

We loved Chania, didn’t really go past the fortress, that beach is beautiful. We’ll add that to the list for next time. Nice one both, enjoyed that x

Been on P&O and Marella and found the entertainment on Marella outshines P&O by a big margin this includes the cruise on Arvia I have just been on P&O have less interaction and less fun than the entertainment teams on Marella cruise ships.

This was short but oh so sweet! What a lovely place! Love the dancing sea paddle! Mmmm drink and ice cream! Looked a lovely day ❤

We watched and commented on this a week ago and cannot see our comment god darn! We really enjoyed hiking with you and your land legs 🤣 on this one! Looks a good hike with friends! We had only just heard of this geo caching a couple of days before watching you! Sounds fascinating! Xx

Hey both, settling down to watch this with a glass of wine. First off though, love the t-shirt Si 😂. Interesting that you gave P&O a 5 for the online portal. We found it quite buggy and different info depending which of us logged in. Sounds rubbish about the muster station scanners!! We loved the P&O self check out. Out of all our cabins so far, P&O rates top for us and the bed was the comfiest we’ve been on. Interesting you say about the senior leadership being visible on your cruise, we hardly saw anyone. We have no idea who the cruise director was. We saw everyone on Marella and Costa. In our case Marella and Costa drinks packages were by far better than P&O’s. Fried carrots? Must be an Italian thing as we had sprouts in the breakfast buffet 😂. We’re finding this video really interesting guys!! We’re rating our last 3 cruises along with yours. We loved the Quays but didn’t take that advantage of it as much as we’d have liked. Interested to see your entertainment thoughts. All the casts on our last 3 were great but I think for us, Marella first, Costa second and P&O 3rd. Costa also had live sport on the big screens. Wow £259 per person for the MSC. Yes, you had the add ons, but great price. All of these prices are actually really great value. Interesting result!!! That was fab. Watched in full and enjoyed every minute x

They're gorgeous. What an adventure. Cheers 🍻

We loved the raspberry orangutan! Thanks for taking us back to the Far East 😀👍

Hello Lord & Lady Cruise 🚢🙋🏻‍♀️ how amazing is this 😮 always wanted to see the orangutans 🦧 it was like Jurassic Park for the monkey world 😂❤ live ya’s stay awesome x

I’ve just had my first ever cruise and I chose the Norwegian Fjords on Iona. I completely agree with your assessment, I couldn’t fault it. It seems I chose well and will definitely cruise with P&O again.

Brings back happy memories guys. Thanks for sharing. We took your advice re the public buses in Norway and got one there and back. We saved £40 each compared to buying trip from P&O. It is set in such a lovely forest. Glad you enjoyed your trip. Yes, that stone almost touching the church!! Lets hope it stays where it is. ❤
