5 Reasons To Try A P&O Cruise - The GOOD Things About This Cruise Line

[@MrTudwud]

The reason I like your Cruise videos is that you always look for the positives, as you are doing now. Please keep that going as, just recently, there have been a number of bloggers/vloggers, who we have also been watching for a long time, who seem to spend much of their time moaning/building up some companies against others/comparing companies then blatantly advertising them via sponsored videos/freebies etc. Cruise videos are becoming extremely common on KZbin and your content is always the best, informative and fair. Please do not fall into the trap that the others have!

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thanks so much, appreciate your comment. We are just so grateful everytime we travel to be honest and realise the people who watch our videos have saved up and worked hard and want to enjoy their holidays so yes we try review things but would never moan about something for views then accept something free off them. To be honest we aren't up to date with what other vloggers are doing as in our spare time away from work and youtube we watch alot of TV series, movies and sports lol. We just do our own thing and try to just put out tips/ reviews that will help others 👍 😀

Great vlog guys, we’re booked on P&O Aurora next July so reckon you should sneak on board your case of Coke on that ship for a review. 😊

[@karlreading3201]

I pooped my cruising cherry on p&o and was on Venturer last year as well. Outside of them I have done Cunard and Princess (both carnival corp so similar) and MSC (very different) and I can’t wait to get back on a P&O ship. Good value, and theses something nice about rocking up into town in a 300meter plus cruise ship with a massive Union Jack on the front 😂😂😂

[@barbaragriessel1814]

I love watching your vlogs. You are always so positive and I appreciate the time you take to do your fabulous videos for us. I have done 12 cruises, 7 of which were with P & O and I have another 4 booked with them. Like you, the negative comments amaze me, but I am a glass half full person and others are glass half empty people! I know which I prefer to be as I always like to find the positive in everything.

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thanks so much Barbara

[@joanneyoung8571]

Great honest video. Never been on p & 0 yet but I am looking. I note from your videos the speciality dining and drinks packages are actually very cheap compared to RC, celebrity etc so that’s a bonus

[@mikeh2613]

A very balanced & well presented video. My wife & I are not ‘cruisers’ but we have decided to take a world cruise & P&O was one of the first companies we have looked at. As we are about to outlay a fair amount of cash I am doing as much research as possible and, like you said in this video, there are so many negative comments, a lot more than positive. That said, the main theme of these comments is staff shortages, poor dining experiences such as long queues etc., cleanliness and hygiene, tired decor. As we will be sailing on an older vessel, the Arcadia, I cannot help but feel that there may be some substance to these reports, especially in view of the effect that COVID had on the industry. Again, thanks for your presentation but I feel there is a lot more research to be done 👍

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Hi thanks so much for watching and for your comment. But yes, it's definitely worth researching as much as you can. A world cruise is a big commitment and although we made this video to show why cruising with P&O is a good cruise line we can only go off our cruises with them which has been a 5 night, a 7 night and at most a 14 day cruise with them. It does sound a wonderful opportunity though. Hope you manage to find the information you are looking for 👍

[@neilshayler3119]

Good post, we've done Brittania twice and Arvia, like any company they could do certain things a little better but overall its fantastic value for money with good entertainment. booked for Arvia again next November and Ventura in May 25

[@colinwarren5785]

Great video with stunning facts great advice for people who have not cruised with P&O before we have before 3 times & like you said nobody is perfect but we have had great times on our cruises . Keep up with the great videos & safe cruising 😀⛴

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thanks Colin

[@ronnyrhodes68]

Fantastic videos once again we go on the Britannia in July 2024 we like P&O as it’s like a family to us and you meet people who only sail on P&O and also after years of flying I don’t fly anymore so it’s great to go from Southampton it’s stress free 👍👍

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thanks 😁 hope you have a great time when you go

Flying out to Tenerife in February to cruise to maderia, gran canari and Lanzarote on board azura.

I love your videos you are so honest , im going on the Brittania in November round the Carribean , im so excited xxx you doing a good job with your great reviews

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thanks so much, not long till you go now 😁

[@lizdyson3627]

I completely agree Stacey, Although if you do need to make a serious complaint like i did after my last holiday , not cruise related, I was told the wouldn't print it anyway.

[@TravelingTramps]

We've enjoyed seeing all these ships and cruises, Stacey and Kev. They looked just fine to us! There was always plenty to do aboard them and the food looked delicious. Loved the views, especially your first one passing though the fjords. Lovely ports of call too! As you mention, nothing is perfect. There's also going to be bad reviews for anything. Trip Advisor is a for profit entity. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but they do have a vested interest in things. We do many tours though them in some of the cities we visit and always had a good time, but they were pricey. The P&O line looks just fine to us! We love your videos! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thanks so much Dave and Kathy, hope you're both ok 😁

We live in the north of Scotland so have still to fly to get to Southampton. EasyJet flights from Inverness so premium cost for luggage. However I believe there are train links from Gatwick to Southampton. Very informative videos. Thanks

[@gillianfinney7132]

Just returned from our first p&o cruise and first out of Southampton on the Ventura having watched your very informative videos got take a look at the Arvia now as on there next thank you from a fellow stokie only had one very small issue the ramp to the theatre on deck 7 is very steep when pushing a wheelchair thank you

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Ay up duck, glad you had a good time. Shame about the ramp in the theatre but at least would have been easy one way lol

[@gillianfinney7132]

We usually watch the videos on the tv is there an easy way to pick yours out instead of scrolling to find them please @@OneCouplesAdventure

I think if you go on our channel you could go to the playlist section and thats where all the different playlists are if you want to watch specific ones.

[@mrsprivate1678]

P&O have an higher age limit for what is classed as a child most other cruise lines class over 12s as adults . It works a lot cheaper for families with kids over 12 . P&O do tend to be allot cheaper that RC and Princess.

Great blog again

Good afternoon Stacey and Kev. Another great and informative video. Hope you're both well and enjoying the Prima. Thank you for all your hard work ❤❤

[@keithsmith5639]

Another great video from fellow Stokies . I’m thinking of booking my first cruise with P+O. What worries me I’m a solo traveler, is it ok to go on a cruise ship on your own . I’m a very sociable chat always chatting with people.

[@onedogandabag9606]

Hi Keith. I have just returned from my first cruise to the Norwegian Fjords. I was travelling solo and I'm also a wheelchair user, and I can honestly say that I felt totally safe. Iona is a big ship, but I felt OK with that. In the Main Dining Rooms you can request to join a shared table at meal times where you'll get the opportunity to meet people. I met people that I ended up watching shows with or a cocktail with in The Crows Nest. It's also very liberating travelling on your own. 😊

[@keithsmith5639]

@@onedogandabag9606 Thanks for your advice on solo cruising . I have mobility problems as well , I use crutches. I will definitely look at going on a cruise now. There’s no information about solo cruising and mobility issues . Thanks again mate

[@elainekirkham8215]

​@@onedogandabag9606 don't be afraid of going solo on a cruise. I'm not a solo traveller, but did get chatting to people travelling on their own. There is also a solo travellers get together most days ( in horizon magazine).

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Thanks so much, you've got some great advice in the comments and we completely agree. Cruising is great for solo passengers you'll not be short of people to talk to at all 😁

[@markwall6651]

Hi Kevin/Stacey - We've just come back from 14 nights on Britannia, and it is not for us, we have Arvia and Iona booked for next year, which of those two is the better in your opinion?

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Hi we've had a Iona V Arvia video go out recently which will help explain the differences between the 2 ships and which we preferred and why 👍

[@richardparmenter188]

Love Iona, hated Ventura. Back on Iona in March but wild horses wouldn’t get me back on Ventura (unless its free 😇)

[@valerieg5674]

Please can you explain why you disliked Ventura? I've never been on her but it would be good to know why you would not book to go on her again.

[@richardparmenter188]

@@valerieg5674 Ventura is a training ship and you can tell it. We found a lot of the staff rude and unfriendly. Food wasn’t good and service was poor. Not all but enough to know that half didn’t want to be there. The ship itself is pretty decent with lots of adult areas although it is showing it’s age a bit. Staff have to trained somewhere but en masse to paying customers maybe isn’t the way to do. There really is a huge difference to other ships

[@barbaragriessel1814]

I have done 7 P & O cruises, 4 of which with Ventura. (Plus have 2 future cruises booked on Iona and 1 on Arcadia). My son and grandson had first cruise with me on Ventura in April this year and they absolutely loved it. I am a solo traveller and when I get on Ventura I always feel like I am coming home and feel so comfortable. It amazes me how people see things differently from each other. Never found rude staff and food was fantastic. My son and grandson loved the buffet, Beach house and Sindhu. I am about to book another cruise on Ventura for 2025! @@richardparmenter188

The thing that worries me about P&O: My understanding is that most of the passengers have funny-sounding accents :)

Who do use fro cruise travel insurance ?

[@OneCouplesAdventure]

Hi, no one in particular we just shop around. We currently have a years insurance with Holiday extras I think they are called

[@lizdyson3627]

Hi Guys, NCL is America and as i'm sure you know America has a tipping culture. We don't. That's the difference.

[@chriscliffordCH]

Well, Cunard still have a mandatory charge for gratuities and P&O only stopped back in 2019 so I don't think it's purely due to the nationality of the cruise line. More likely competition from Marella.
