First cruise on P&O ARVIA CRUISE SHIP. First impressions of this NEW ship on our overnight stay.

[@Bess9779]

I've never been on a cruise in any capacity. I'm 67, a granny, and live vicariously through your wonderful videos. So, your channel serves for more than just helping people with jobs. Thank you so much.

[@markcollins2666]

You took the words out of my mouth! I'm 66, and probably will never get around to taking a cruise. At best, applying on a cargo ship, as a mariner cook, from our hometown in the Philippines, to Argentina, a regular run, where we deliver tropical fruits, and return with a full load of grapes, for winemaking. There's a mariner in my neighborhood who does this every month. It's not saving orphans, but cooking for 12 mariners is easy, and a pleasure! And an adventure! I wish you the best, happy Christmas, and a bright New Year!

[@summerwinter4]

Never say never, you don’t know what the future holds! May all your wishes come true!

[@Mollylife-6666]

I’m very lucky as been cruising for over 25 years , booked Arvia next April so excited , Been on Iona but p and o my favourite so always cruise with them ❤

[@firemedicseven]

You need to go cruising! So much fun and not as expensive as you think!

[@jonathanfischer703]

You are a fine ambassador for cruising, as crew and sailors. Your content has expanded as you reveal more of yourself. Your credibility is based on your professionalism and it’s compelling because you are being real and down to earth. Best of luck on your channel and balancing home life and away!

[@stevenvater8720]

Lucy you are a fantastic positive example of how a young person setting out in life should be. Very good communication so engaging, honest and real. a rare talent.

[@edwinfitchett6033]

I'm cruising on Arvia in January and wasn't expecting this looking forward to the ship tour video thanks for this complements of the season

[@rogermulloon9658]

For the ariel show , they will connect their tedder line to the trusses above not a steel beam😊🇹🇹👍

[@MsLimapapa]

Hubby and I are joining Arvia tomorrow (6th Jan) for a 2 week cruise- can’t wait. Thank you so much for uploading.

[@mrstoives2444]

What a brilliant Christmas Present. Wasn’t expecting this. Hope you’re all having a great time!!

[@richardstreet7518]

Wow. Just wow!! What a great introduction to this stunning new ship...

[@michellecrowley2072]

Lucy, you gave me a scare thinking you had jumped ship for a minute. It's so great that you can holiday with a dear friend and have some down time while still living your passion.

[@kenadams4968]

Merry Christmas, Lucy! Thank you for the quick look at the P&O Arvia. You have a wonderful friend in Hannah. I'm looking forward to your tour of the ship.

[@cruisingfromtheozarks]

I love how excited you are to see everything even though you work on a ship most of the year. It makes me feel less awkward about being excited on a ship new to me.

[@BUZZEROO512]

Great video, thank you. Had an amazing time on the gorgeous Iona and can't wait to cruise on Arvia.

[@alexanderlapp5048]

You just get home and you are already getting on another ship 🚢 ha ha I think you were born to sail. Hope you and your friend have lots of fun together.

[@grahamallen7228]

Very nice. My daughter has worked on cruise ships for the last 14 years! Have a good one!

[@chrismyburgh3158]

Just got back from 2 weeks on this amazing ship. She is lovely.

[@summerwinter4]

Your Excitement is Contagious! Happy cruising!

[@nickking2491]

Thanks ladies, that was a top video, well done ❤

[@Atem_S.]

That ship looks insane! Absolutely gorgeous! Waiting on the tour! Until then, Merry Christmas!

[@jons9721]

Very professional no comparisons made to Virgin!

[@richardcoffland6006]

Thx for sharing! Waiting for ship to come to Florida 🎉. Will be our very first P & O cruise. 🎉

[@designdoctor247]

please make more of these!!!

[@ceeabee]

At last ... P&O join the 21st Century. I have avoided Cruising with them for various reasons inc doorless wardrobes [hate them] and those "poxy" shower curtains to name but 2. This Ship however ticks just about every box for me. Will be sailing on her sometime later this year. Thanks for the vid, much appreciated.

[@scifimonkey3]

Loving the ‘not so silent’ disco

[@leonesiom]

I'm from the US but have a lot of great memories from Southhampton. 😀 Also, wow where do you get the energy to visit another ship after just leaving your last one? It takes me at least a month just to unwind. Merry Christmas from Las Vegas, NV. 🎄

[@billwheeler3265]

Well done you two, great to look around, my wife and I will be on the ship end of April 2023. great to see your friendship.

[@lisaedwards9226]

Hi Lucy Loving your channel.Me and my mum are lucky enough to be on Arvia doing a back to back cruise during Jan and Feb 2023 from Barbados.Really enjoyed your tour ,wishing you a very Happy New Year.Best wishes Lisa

[@randellsamuel4097]

Thanks for this eye-opening video.

[@jeffersjeep50]

My husband and I are on the ship on February 3rd to the Caribbean so can't wait the ship looks fabulous

[@kevinkinsey8952]

Very good video, i will be on this ship next Dec around the Carribean, after watching this it cant come soon enough, thanks.

[@bobgrant2425]

Lucy you cleaned up so well for dinner! Sophisticated Lucy...so pretty!

[@CruisingAsCrew]

Thank you!

[@attockmrdl]

I will be Joining P&O Iona on 2nd of February. I am working onboard boutique as a Retail Sales Associate. Nice to see Arvia and this is nice cruiseship.

[@lizkotchek928]

You had me so excited and your smiles are contagious. I needed a lift today and you truly made me smile. I live in Ft. Lauderdale, FL and am going on my 1st cruise in 2 weeks. Going on Celebrity Reflection as a guest of my mom. It is a family reunion cruise so the family in their 90's can see each other again. I am so excited!!! I just hope there are some folks in my age group (50's) who like to party. Happy holidays to you Lucy and thankyou for the smiles. 😊

[@davidbalfe6190]

Great video amazing to see you as a passenger. You should do more of different ships and cruises. Thanks for sharing a new ship

[@arikirsch8168]

Hoping one day to sail P&O.. and I'm also hoping, since it is the sister cruise line to Princess, that P&O decides to use the Princess Medallion system.. It works quite well... hope you enjoyed your cruise!

[@adrianwhitehead6238]

Hi, my wife and I have been on the sister ship Iona. We should have been on the Maiden voyage, but because of COVID, it was postponed a year later. Loved every second of the 2 weeks. We are planning to go again in a couple of years. I’m disabled and felt very welcomed, the staff were fantastic and very helpful.

[@johnscott1261]

Hi, just watched your blog, absolutely brilliant, you and emma cruises are the unsung heroines of ship cruising. You are real value to the cruise industry. Just came of Azura on it twice in 7 weeks, long story. Talking to a young shoppie girl on disembarkation. She said because of your blogs she decided to become a shoppie, so well done you. Now i have seen the ship, will be looking at 2023 cruises, i live 7 miles north of the port, and had enough now of flying. So happy christmas and a fantastic new year both to you and your friend.

[@tawrawells2068]

Loved your necklace. It made your outfit for night just much dresser. Loved the video of the new ship.

[@cafsixtieslover]

We are booked to sail on Arvia in 2024. We love the Iona and we are really looking forward to it.

[@gavinnaylor1428]

Love your enthusiasm great video

[@leslyehowell3390]

Thank you for the tour you had presented here. You are so adorable. If I was on a ship and we were both working on I would differently want to be your besti. Happy New Year’s . Cheers

[@Mollylife-6666]

Can’t wait till we go on Arvia April

[@becky9194]

Great video. Thanks for sharing your first impressions. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[@joycesamin0103]

I miss working in the cruiseship because of you😘😘😘 thank you for showing us around. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year🎉🎊🎉🎊

[@chetfriday7636]

Your positive energy is Awsome!

[@ShantyKganyagoVlogs]

Happy Christmas, lol I am spending my Xmas watching your videos🎉

[@johngore7864]

Just booked today, so looking your impressions

[@lucycotterell1238]

You do the most interesting cruise videos

[@winklepicking3202]

Can’t wait to see the tour, we booked to go on her in April 2024

[@RicardoLopez-mc5op]

Great video Lucy i really enjoyed it and happy holidays to you. Looking forward to your next one.

[@fuziface]

Merry Christmas from Mexico , Feliz Navidad ! 🎅

[@georgeemmett1801]

Ariva looks amazing I will be photographing in the new year.

[@giovannideventuri4506]

Merry Christmas. Aces as usual. Keep on keeping on!

[@lummoxx8586]

Looks like they got the TP dispenser in the correct location, unlike the Mardi Gras where they put it behind you.

[@allenshepard7992]

Wow you must have felt like you had the ship to yourself. P&O is more upscale so no body hugging shower curtain like on Royal Caribbean. Thanks for the ceiling shot. I've slept on the bed that folds down from the ceiling. It is a trip. Felt like I might fall out but did not. Want to see the bottom of the lifeboats. They have hand rails and reflective markers.

[@johngore7864]

Looking forward to your review 🎉

[@lizwalters8114]

Lovely vlog,enjoyed looking round Arvia,we have been Iona several times.I just wondered though how nice it would have been to see completely different interior design, particularly the cabins which are just the same as Iona ,I just don't feel it has the wow factor I was expecting, and acoustics in skydome still awful .Look forward to your next post,thanks girls.Happy new year!

[@heidibreckenridge9131]

Merry Christmas, Lucy. From Cancún with non stop rain for days

[@TheMcshawn]

Nice Vlog. Hope you had a Merry Christmas.

[@vicarsrogerscom]

Lucy, Thank you for your channel. Where did you get your necklace you wore at dinner?

[@glennbailey]

The Company I used to work for had a location in Birmingham and been there many times. Huf Group... We made door handles for cars at that location.....

[@neutronjack7399]

When you pick up your next contract with Virgin, are you going to see if you can find a spot for Hannah too? By the way, what port is this?

[@ichwilleinboot3921]

I was working for cunard as receptionist on queen Mary 2. Very tough and hard job. I m back on land.

[@marktheshark7966]

Good afternoon Lucy just got your newest video. Where are you went on piano Cruise I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. Just wanted to say merry Christmas. I love you please be safe. Stay warm. Looking forward to your new videos. That will be coming out in 2023.

[@craigl8690]

Happy Christmas, Lucy. Great content as usual.

[@LucysMum-j1m]

Welcome home, Lucy. You and Hannah looked fabulous in your LDVs. Now both of you are traders to be invited by Arvia’s shakedown cruise. On the same day she arrived at Southampton, I took my Lucy Chow to Tilbury for Ambassador’s Ambience for a 3-nights’ Xmas market cruise to Bruges via Zeebrugge. However, a faulty lifeboat station was found on her and we had to debark in the next morning. I saw Emma and Cruise Buoys and took a photo of them with my Lucy to pin on her Twitter page to prove it. What a year to meet 4 cruise stars, including you! Will you be on another contract on Virgin, possibly a new ship? June

[@brucegordon4992]

A very Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@terrysmitherman584]

< Birmingham, Alabama USA here, sister cities! Enjoy your holiday 🎄🎄

[@nabwright]

Looks beautiful!! Thinking of booking in October is all food included in price??

[@subraybanaulikar4693]

Merry Christmas It was a lovely video

[@lisaedwards9226]

Hi Lucy .Lisa again as stated previously loving your channel and content and looking forward to boarding Ariva in 4 weeks.Just a quickie me and my mum were wandering what make up you use and where you get it from, as it looks fantastic. Best wishes lisa

[@mylittlesuperhero581]

Merry Christmas to you and yours lucy!

[@Thomas-tu5vj]

Very good Vlog's!

[@DNHarris]

Merry Christmas! 14:00 Let air in! Hilarious.

[@stephenHolloway88]

This ship looks lovely! I remember the oceana. It's the first ship I ever went on, had my first kiss on that ship when I was 16 😂. I was sad to see that they let that ship go and it's not oceana anymore.

[@martinemery9877]

Loving you vlogs think you need to join P&O again 😂

[@susanmiller299]

I’m sailing to the Caribbean on 20/1/23 🎉🎉🎉

[@dsnyken]

Happy holidays Lucy

[@danielheathcote5625]

Wow, how did you two find time to get six hours Kip? You squeezed a huge amount in to that 18 hours. I’m sailing on aria in October in one of those cabins with the balcony at the front in the med. can’t wait. I sailed on Iona earlier this year so will be great to have some familiarity!

[@roadrunner001]

looks very much like Iona which is no bad thing in my eye.

[@jasonlightbody5356]

Ok can I get one thing clear.. when any single man sees two pretty woman talking about sharing a room.we sort of start thinking about other stuff apart from fishing.lol you two seem like lovely ladies that like playing golf. I once had a great night with a cabin crew training group and I will never speak about it or forget about it. Love you all xoxox

[@BiancaManiago]

Hi! I'm sorry to ask this but are there any cruises that are sailing on P&O Arvia in August? I just want to see if there are any from perhaps the 26th of august? Thanks x

[@irenedavo3768]

Lovely

[@hampshirewanderer5078]

6:30 I'm assuming the empty space in the wardrobe is for a suitcase. Otherwise, I'm sure there would be a hanger or more shelving there.

[@JohnnyFuturePast]

I would LOVE to go on a P&O Arvia or Iona cruise! Definitely going to look into this soon! Great to see you Happy in a different ship Lucy! ❤️ Happy New Year!

[@sarahmoseley4642]

Forgive me for a possibly dumb question, but did the ship leave and go anywhere? Where would one port for one night?

[@ThatGodzillaGirl]

I hope we get to see a crew cabin in the tour?

[@joshuanesbit]

Worked with Hannah on Britannia ☝🏻

[@ramidguechi2910]

Hello there, pls I have a question can anyone clarify to me. I passed my interview with celebrity company successful but when I got ctrack there is a phrase wrote like this "technical issue " what does that mean? I'm waiting for three months and nothing happened until now!!

[@irenedavo3768]

Phone them!

[@EmmaCruises]

Lucy > Jane. There I said it. 🤣🥰

[@CruisingAsCrew]

Why you say that Em? I misses the joak 🤣😘

[@EmmaCruises]

@@CruisingAsCrew 🤣🤣🤣 You said you're no Jane McDonald so I say you're better ;)

[@CruisingAsCrew]

[@stevenvater8720]

Great blog on what looksime an incredible idea ship, I it's been designed to beautifully. One small thing.... The name of that first restaurant.. Pizzaro. I when they named it did they know who pizarro was!!!??? ... One of the most evel human beings ever to walk the earth. He led the Spanish expedition to South America, Google him. Not good

[@tvandereet1469]

According to Wikipedia Birmingham is the second largest city in the UK, so maybe look up some facts about it🤔

[@Londoloza031]

What’s the song at 21:00 ? Haha

[@paulatrahern1336]

You’re not from Bromsgrove by any chance are you?

[@josyms7849]
