It Was A Rocky One! Travel Day And Embarkation PLUS Black Tie Night | Ventura P&O Cruise 2024 |
Hello! I've recently been on P&O's Ventura and visited Spain, Portugal, and France and wanted to bring you along with me. In this video I will take you on the travel down to Southampton, and we can board the ship together before having a little look round.
I hope you enjoy it, and let me know your favourite places to visit on a cruise!

I'm doing this same cruise in October as my first ever cruise and longest ever solo holiday so these videos will be really helpful thank you!

Awww I really hope you enjoy your cruise. There are quite a few solo travellers on p&o cruises, and in the horizon, or itinerary, they have solo get togethers so you can meet up with fellow solo travellers and chat about what you've been up to. I find that they have thought of everything, and there is always something fun or interesting to do or attend. (And of course lots and lots of delicious food to eat!) 😀

I loved our cruise on Ventura last October. A bit choppy on the way back over the Bay of Biscay. We liked Vigo a lot and Santander.

[@rhi-defined]

Awww, we didn't stop in Santander, I'll have to look out for a cruise visiting there as I've heard it's beautiful. Yes, I have been on 10 P&O cruises now, and the travel through the Bay of Biscay catches me out every time, though this time was definitely the worst I've known it.

I was on this cruise , did you notice that when going from Porto up to France the ship seemed to go much faster than the journey down , I got no sleep that night ,the engine and movement was quite intense and I was on deck 9 midship . I was just round the corner watching us go past the Arvia too , I zoomed in on them waving back , was looking for myself in your video lol

[@rhi-defined]

I think we were definitely going faster on the way back yeah, as on the way down due to the very high winds, I think we had to take it rather slow. It was a different type of motion on the way bach though wasnt it. More of a rolling sensation than a rock. To be honest with you, my sleep was quite interrupted most nights on this cruise 😅 we were also deck 9, but forward. Awww, it was a really nice sail away from Southampton wasn't it. I was waving at the people on shore and Arvia. I do the same when I see other vloggers on cruises, wondering if I've been wandering about in the background of their videos 😂

@@rhi-defined I really enjoyed it , you may of seen us all wearing Hawaiian shirts one night , we stood out quite a bit lol . We did ok with the weather too didn’t we , Porto was so hot . I ended up moving the coat hangers to one end of the rack and pushing my clothes against them so they weren’t clanging about when the ship was moving , could also feel a vibration on my headboard which was strange ,like I could feel the engine vibration all the way up to deck 9 , was strange I was starboard side .

[@rhi-defined]

Aww that sounds so fun! We did do nicely with the weather didnt we. Porto was particularly beautiful weather wise wasn't it :) it was so nice around the river. Oh that's a good idea with the coat hangers. I think we just persevered with the clanging 😅 I didn't feel much vibration on this cruise, just a lot of rocking and rolling. When I was on Arcadia I felt a lot of vibrations. It must depend on the location on the ship :)

We loved your Arcadia Vlogs before we went on board last November. We've just booked Ventura for this coming November and when searching these vlogs popped up! I'm so glad. Good vlogs and making me look forward even more. Subscribed! 🙂

[@rhi-defined]

Awww I'm so glad you enjoyed my arcadia and my ventura vlogs. I really hope you had a wonderful cruise on-board arcadia, and have a fantastic time on ventura. They are both rather different ships, but both very enjoyable. I so wish I could have managed to have filmed more, thank you so much for you comment and your subscribe 😁

I'm also going on Ventura in November. My first cruise going solo so this has been very helpful!
