THE LAST PASSENGER! P&O Arcadia vlog episode 4 - Southampton Disembarkation

[@lynnedouglas4065]

Great video and very informative thank you Fraser🙃

[@historylover13]

Thank you for this series! I will be taking a World Cruise on Arcadia sailing 3 Jan 2025. I need to book transportation to LHR upon our return. What time is recommended to book transportation (pick up at the cruise terminal)? Again, thank you.

[@FraserAtSea]

Ah, what a cruise that will be! Thanks so much for watching - these are actually my older videos, so it’s lovely to hear you enjoyed them! The ship usually docks in Southampton by about 7am, so I’d say anytime from 8am you’d be fine if using a taxi. I usually opt for a slightly later start, and would book from 9am though - better safe if you have time! Thanks again!

Good info, Fraser. As already mentioned, never seen a peaceful disembarkation! There are times on smaller ships when carrying off your own luggage is better. But I do accept than when it's wild, minimising what you carry is appropriate. Hope your New Year Virtuosa cruise was good. Looking forward to the vlogs.

Thanks for this one; enjoyed it. Like you said, someone needs to be last but...just...wow! 😳 Nothing I've ever seen! 🤣 Sure would be nice to be so close to a cruise port.

[@FraserAtSea]

Yeah, I’ve never been the last one - the crew must’ve been cursing me behind the scenes… Ha, I wasn’t even off ‘late’ either - a great experience! Thanks for tuning in!

Fraser, my train ticket from Southampton to London was valid from 0930 on a weekday. So I was waiting to debark Arcadia at her library, browsing Berlitz’s cruise guide by Douglas Ward, not to get to the station too early. June

[@FraserAtSea]

Oh, I must’ve walked right past you - in the video, I do walk past the door of the library! What a shame you were quietly behaving in the library, or I’d have met you! Haha

[@LucysMum-j1m]

@@FraserAtSea On his book cover, D Ward was said to be the most feared cruise critic but he may be a little too old to be on KZbin. Fear not, we have Gary B et al now.

[@tinawebber8223]

This was very informative, and I think this is the first time I have ever seen this type of info in any vlogs… wish I had seen this for the first time we cruised!! We made the same mistakes… no bag to put the last nights clothes into 😂

[@FraserAtSea]

Hey Tina, thanks for the positive feedback, and thanks a lot for watching! My first disembarkation was laughable, as I got off the ship with a WalMart plastic bag gifted to me by reception, haha!

[@alanmitchell9062]

We are looking forward to getting back to Southampton to next year to join Ventura & Arvia

[@FraserAtSea]

I saw that Ventura is going to be doing some great Southampton routes next year!

[@mazzaw859]

I really enjoy your vlogs Fraser. Great job! Will there be an Azura series coming up? We’re on there in May. Very excited!

[@FraserAtSea]

Hey! Thanks for watching - so glad you enjoyed! Good timing to ask - I finished editing the first Azura vlog, and this will go live on Sunday at 6pm U.K. time! Hope you enjoy, and thanks for being here!

[@mazzaw859]

Your vlogs are the type of vlogs my husband and I love. You’re just so natural and just yourself. It’s like a friend telling you about their holiday. 💚

[@weavenut]

Wow I wish, my disembark off brittiana was a nightmare, being disabled and trying it get a lift, no other option, was a nightmare over 3quarters of an hour before I could get on a lift

[@FraserAtSea]

Ah, that’s when you really do rely on other passengers to get out if they can walk - sorry to hear this!

[@weavenut]

I am sorry to say those that could have used the stairs were the ones who rushed to a lift door, not taking it in turns and even climbed over me and other mobility device users to get in the lift, causing me pain when the knocked me. They need to sort out some supervision for the lifts to stop the inconsiderate and ignorant. It has got worse I feel since covid

[@weavenut]

Compounded by Britannia design with no stairs in the middle accessible to passengers

[@davehughes1193]

So when u start your full time travel adventure will u be doing a daily vlog when wifi/signal allows??

[@FraserAtSea]

Hey Dave, I’ll be boarding MSC World Europa in just under 3 weeks. Hoping to build lots of content (if you guys are willing to stick with me to watch it… Ha!)
