We are on there in 2 weeks and we love Ventura 😁 hope you had a fantastic anniversary 10 years and counting

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you so much and I hope you have a great time ❤️

[@emmaantcliffe8800]

Like I commented on Facebook that we were recently onboard. We stayed in r736 so our children were so excited when they saw our room opposite yours, haha. I hope you had an amazing time!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Ha! It’s such a small world isn’t it!?! Hope you had a good time ❤️

[@lindaa8822]

Thanks Jamie! Another great video!!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank youuuuu lovely Linda ❤️

[@cruiseforever1281]

Such a delightful tour. Great job.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you 🙏

[@Warriorbox]

What a perfect location! I have not been seasick (yet) so I would love the convenience of this cabin and it looks fine. Nice Tour, thank you Jamie.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It was a surprisingly great location and we’ll choose similar again!

[@carolr9301]

Great tour as always Jamie. You’re so entertaining. We had a great cruise on her a few years ago. She’s a great ship. It’s so convenient being on that deck. I always thought it would be noisy being under the buffet . The terrace pool is lovely.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

I thought it would be noisy too but for some reason we lucked out! Thanks for your kind words 🙏🙏🙏

[@PaulHumphrey-ot4ki]

Great tour Jamie helped me decide this was worth trying. Thanks Paul

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Very welcome Paul

[@janerees8990]

Fab tour Jamie! Just love those balcony cabins. I like C deck for the large balcony. Looking forward to going again in 2 weeks time. Terrace pool area is lovely. Also like the retreat area for some P+Q.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

C deck are great balcony cabins, for sure! Order the aft R deck ones for location though, I must say! Thanks for stopping by and your lovely comments ❤️

[@annasutton8078]

We enjoyed our first cruise ever on Ventura October 23. Looking forward to the next one.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Have a great time!

[@sarahfilbey275]

Loved the cream and gold colours of the interior

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It may be an older cabin but it beats total beige like some companies 😂

[@sarahfilbey275]

@@TravelBlogJamie booked to go on her in 2024, also to Lisbon lol. Looking forward to it. What tier do you have to be to get P&O slippers?

[@TravelBlogJamie]

@@sarahfilbey275 we are Mediterranean tier

[@tinawebber8223]

Loved it ❤getting all the feels with this vlog, unfortunately we have to wait until next September to visit this ship again 😊

[@TravelBlogJamie]

But only 11 months now 😂

[@snakedoctor5482]

i stayed in r749 on the other side of the ship 3 weeks ago, one of the rear cabins with the window looking out to the back of the ship. my first cruise and i loved it.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Oh I’ve actually stayed in one of this cabins - awesome views!!!

[@mystic346]

Hi Jamie. Just started watching your videos . ( Great videos) . Myself and partner are going on our 1st ever cruise on Saturday on this ship 😊. Sailing from Southampton for 7 nights. I'll let you know how we get on once we are back. We haven't gone for any of the drinks packages . As we don't think it's worth it.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Have a great cruise

[@tanyaprout2334]

Brilliant vlog.. we will be in one of these cabins. I wanted to know if they provided a hairdryer as I don’t want to bring mine. It’s big and takes up luggage space. The others did a great cabin tour but you are the most thorough. The only one that opened all the storage spaces. I now know I don’t need to bring my hairdryer. Thank you for the tour. 🤗👍😊

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Ah thank you so much - really appreciate the feedback! Hope you have a great time ❤️

[@annewaites6201]

Fab video

Thank you Anne

[@mamaalik12]

v well presented and entertaining

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you 🙏

[@vennyventura]

I was on this cruise and spotted you around a couple of times! Our cabin was on the same deck too. The cabins are slightly dated in terms of decor, but I don’t see that as a bad thing as ours was immaculately clean and the fittings seemed in decent condition. It was the first time I’d noticed the light fittings were made of brass… I’d read a review recently that Ventura was in a terrible state, so was expecting holes in the walls, flickering lights and rafters hanging down from the ceiling 😂 The group We3 were fantastic too and it was nice to see something a little different… Excellent video as always 👌

[@TravelBlogJamie]

I really didn’t notice the issues some had mentioned and we felt very comfortable in this cabin! Hope you had a great week!

[@vennyventura]

@@TravelBlogJamie Absolutely! Had a great time thanks 😊 I am back on her in August next year, so will be interesting to see any improvements from her February dry dock visit. I think I read somewhere that the TVs are being replaced with larger wall mounted models.

[@akajasonbourne]

It's true she does need a refurb but who doesn't after 15 years. Hope your mum and sister are enjoying their first cruise.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

I certainly need one 😂

[@MarinaAndJoeGo]

As ever, another amazing cabin tour and review Jamie 🤩 We bloomin love Ventura, and it's great to see how her cabins still hold up well after 15 years 😀 The use of mirrors on Ventura always seems to be well thought through to increase the sense of space. That storage area is great as well, freeing up the rest of the cabin for relaxing! It is a shame about the size and layout of the bathroom, but at least the balcony is a good size 😊 Thanks for the laundrette tour as well - you do know how to spoil us 😁

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Oh I love a peep on those launderettes 😂😂😂 Always seem empty when I’m about for some reason? 🤔

[@MarinaAndJoeGo]

@@TravelBlogJamie ah thats a shame - you're absolutely right about them being the place to get all the gossip, but thats no good if they are empty 😅

[@TravelBlogJamie]

@@MarinaAndJoeGo I think it’s people avoiding me 😂

We are going on the Ventura for the first time next July and heard quite a lot of bad reviews about it being old but having seen your video are a bit relieved we are in a standard Balcony room but on Deck 12. I think like everybody the only thing that put us off was the curtain in the shower, other than that, all looks fine.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

I was very happy with this cabin so don’t fret - all good 👍

[@maffoo1]

❤❤❤

[@TravelBlogJamie]

😎😎😎

[@michelemottram5998]

Love the Ventura we were on it in July this year the room definitely needs a renovation, and found the entertainment has gone downhill 😢

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Oh we thought the entertainment was actually better! Some great artists on board!

[@marecianoble5826]

I noticed you had the crease release spray in your wardrobe, does it work ?

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It’s great! Nothing beats ironing but this is the next best thing

[@carolhewitt2221]

Been on the ventura 3 time and it was grea 4:03

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Pleased to hear it

[@davidmottram7298]

Loved this. We were on Ventura in July. Also on deck 14, but other side. Yes It does need a referb, but it is one of our favourite ships. So many good memories. Accidentally clicked dislike....oops sorry. But did change it right away to LIKED 👍. Looking forward to seeing your tour of the ship 😁

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Ha! That’s ok - I don’t actually see the dislike any more as yotube disabled being able to see them 😂 Thanks for stopping by and your Linda comments 🙏🙏🙏

[@garyfairways]

Hi is there a charge for the laundry DIY ?

[@TravelBlogJamie]

No charge, no

[@ffrederickskitty214]

Having just cruised on Arvia, I can see that Ventura is certainly showing its age. We’re booked on Ventura next year and I’m certain we’ll have a great cruise

[@TravelBlogJamie]

I hope you have a great time ❤️❤️❤️

[@jenniferpratt3854]

Are u allowed food in your cabin

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Yes you are - we show this in the video too

[@andrewpage6365]

Shower curtain 👎👎👎

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Like the majority of cruise ships bathrooms!
