Very informative Vlog. I have cruised with Princess and Royal Caribbean previously and will be embarking on the P&O Arvia very soon. I hope it is as good as my previous cruising experiences.

[@jeanheaphy2222]

I enjoyed looking at your videos of Ariva and ports you visited, can wait for more of them. Have also watched Ben and David but felt yours was much better. Your Ben looks so much like prince harry.

[@PinkLipstick1]

The work you put into your vlogs is unreal! These companies are very lucky to be working with you.

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you so so much! We are so grateful to be chosen/invited! xx

[@stinajones9847]

This was such a fun trip to follow along with! My absolute favorite on a cruise is taking a nap on the adults only decks during a sea day. I literally put it on my itinerary lol! I ❤ sea days!

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you! AMAZING. xx

[@disneylandjill]

This cruise series is so wonderful! You both do a lovely job providing details, views and adventures! I love that you see and do so much but also make time to relax! We had our first cruise to the Mediterranean in April. To me, a cruise is a sampling of many cities while having the luxury of your hotel following you for ease and comfort. Love your positive, honest adventurous KZbin videos and Insta stories! 🩷-a fellow Disney and World traveling follower

[@BeccaHuckle-hv2kx]

I've been addicted to your videos!!! We go 99 weeks time on Arvia!! Thank you for sharing! Seeing your videos we cannot wait!!! Xx

[@BeccaHuckle-hv2kx]

I can't wait!!! Looking forward to your world cruise!!! Xx

[@CaitlynCornes]

These vlogs have been wonderful - thank you for all the hard work you put into them! You inspired my partner and I to go on Iona to Norway earlier this year and we ADORED it, so much so that we are convinced we are going to do a Caribbean cruise for our honeymoon and we're not even engaged yet! Thank you again to you both for sharing your holiday and all the tips!!

[@brogantatexo]

That's amazing!! Thank you for sharing and happy cruising!! xx

[@alisonmoffat2647]

What a lovely last video. I cant wait for the next travel video. You and Benji make me laugh so much and you guys are so good together.

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you Alison! xx

[@SusanDaigle-g9p]

I am so glad I found your videos. I live in the U.S. My husband and I are going on our first cruise in 2024. It’s an eight day cruise! I am so excited! I absolutely love your videos!

[@sarahwhite8157]

i love watching yours and benjis adventures together. all your vlogs are so calming when im stressed, ive been watching your vlogs for around 10 years from your weekly vlogs, working at go ape, your first flat, and i cant wait to see what the future brings!! your vlogs are amasing xx

[@gigilou]

Your travel content is always my fave ❤ I'm catching up on these vlogs now. Looks like you had the most amazing time. Watching your cruise vlogs has really changed my perception of cruises and has really made me want to go on one! Thank you so much for sharing and for creating such wonderful content xxxx

[@mariaburian3953]

This was another wonderful series. You can tell how much work you do in your editting to give us such a wide variety of your experiences.

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you so much! xx

[@smcpa20]

Your vlog has been amazing. We’ve just booked and we can’t wait. All thanks to your brilliant walk through tour I feel absolutely sure we’ve picked the right cruise for us so thank you

[@lisapodjeski4905]

I’m so sad that this is the last of this series. I loved virtually cruising with you both 😊❤

[@brogantatexo]

Aww thank you!!

[@myraconnelly7965]

You and benji always do the best travel content out there love ur vlogs glad you both had a great time ❤

[@bredaharrington8435]

Thank you so much, Brogan and Benji, I have really enjoyed these 4 vlogs that you have made of your Mediterranean cruise. We are going on the Arvia, for a med cruise, on 3rd September. It will be our 2nd cruise with P&O, previously we have done 3 cruises with Royal Caribbean and 1 cruise with Princess. After watching your vlogs, my husband and I are really looking forward to our cruise. You were a delight to watch and you have passed on some great tips.

[@FayeWarrington-g8j]

I got on Arvia the day you got off for my first ever cruise so I’m used this vlog series to fill the ship shape in my life after getting back and absolutely loving it! Makes it more exciting when I can say I’ve been there.

[@Notlilp]

I’m going on this cruise in 11 days and your vlogs have made me so excited!!

[@dawnmccarthy3086]

I've loved watching this trip, so thank you. Florence looked amazing and is now on my bucket list. I'd love for you to experience a different cruise line to see what you thought. Looking forward to watching your mega cruise next year

[@pippaboyd88]

Youre so sweet. Genuinely seem cutest couple in world. So glad you found eachother so lovely to see. Love your inside jokes just watching you two is very comforting. Makes me love by partner even more. Please never stop. X

[@chriswilcox9215]

Loved this and the Iona series. The idea of sailing from Southampton is very appealing and living in East Dorset makes it very convenient.

[@havingawhaleofatime]

Absolutely loved these cruise vlogs! Can’t believe they have come to an end 🥹 such a shame you missed Greatest Days - I’ve seen it on tour and I was incredible!! You’ve deffo inspired me to do a P&O cruise 🫶🏻x

[@melaniepyle2238]

Watched the whole series and absolutely loved them, thanks x

[@brogantatexo]

You're the best! Thank you! xx

[@AnnWalker-g8f]

I enjoyed every part of your adventure. Thank you so much! As I said before, you have changed my view of the P & O cruise line.

[@TUGMASTERUK1]

Thankyou so much for this series of vlogs. We did the Norway Fjords recently on Iona and loved it. Booked again next year and have been looking at the trip you have just done. We like the great info you gave about the onshore experiences at the different ports. The Arvia is very similar to the Iona so we would feel familiar with the ship. Thanks again.

[@FraserAtSea]

Really enjoyed this one - I docked in Cadiz on Costa Diadema a few months back, and couldn't believe how stunning it was!

[@LauraAitken-ty5dr]

Loving your videos. They're so informative and happy. Looking to book Arvia and your vlogs are really exciting us to book. Hope you are both well and loving life ❤ xx

[@lisabarry8738]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching all your cruise vlogs….sad that this was the last one but look forward to coming along on your next adventure!! ❤ xxx

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you so much! xx

[@Lisa.72]

I love your videos in general anyway but I have loved every moment of your cruise vlogs. Thank you.

[@annwilson4160]

I’ve just watched all the Arvia vlogs and they are amazing, my husband and I are going on Arvia in October, this was so informative, we have been cruising for 20 and been on nearly all the P&O ships , we’ve never had to book anything before we board so this was so helpful, I’m looking out for when I can start booking 😊 thank you again.

[@derekacourt2102]

Hi we booked this cruise for 2024 then found your vlogs so just want to say much we enjoyed them and we will take in some of your great tips. You both seem lovely people and this came across in your videos

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you so much!

[@kristinmullaney3952]

Thank you for sharing this amazing trip! You truly enjoy yourself and each other. Beautiful couple and an amazing partnership!

[@brogantatexo]

Thanks so much for watching! xx

[@Leanne_Rachael]

I've been loving these cruise series. You've inspired my boyfriend and I to go on one! X

[@amyjayexo]

Bit late catching up but just wanted to say that you have some of the best cruise vlogs out there! I’ve noticed a lot more people getting gifted cruises lately (from other brands not p&o) and they’re vlogs surrounding it have been very poor and don’t show you anything about the cruise at all expect them drinking/in the pool ect. You’re love for them really comes through and there so informative! hope your partnerships continue and we can get lots more cruise content x

[@martinemery9877]

Totally agree we love sea days and love transatlantics ! Glad you enjoyed your trip

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you!! xx

[@adventuresbydouglas]

Yay! Love my Brogan and Benji time!!

[@brogantatexo]

Thanks for watching!!

[@GuitaristJayy]

We have a Med Virgin cruise booked for September, we’re hooked on the cruise content at the moment! We must jump on the P&O hype soon though 🛳️

[@tracypatil8841]

Fantastic vlog. Looks like a beautiful ship with so much going on, you definitely can't get bored. Excursions looked amazing Cadiz looked very interesting and I thought the prices of food and drink were very reasonable. It all looked so delicious 😋 Love seeing you both dressed up, so cute.😘😘

[@JennyTownend-b7u]

Love watching your cruise vlogs and used loads of your packing tips. Just disembarked p and o britannia today and just had an amazing 2 weeks around Norway, Denmark, and Germany. Addicted to cruising ❤😊

[@Archermit]

I loved the 4 of these videos. I am on the same cruise next year (April) so might not be as nice weather wise. You've given me a good insight into what the ship is like and I'm looking forward to it!

[@WendyS18]

Based on this series I’d definitely try Arvia, I wasn’t sure if P&O would be for me but you’ve shown what a lovely ship it is!

[@stephjackson1982]

I've watched parts 3 and 4 this morning whilst packing for our Arvia cruise next Sunday. I've made lots of mental notes and can't wait to get on board 😃

[@NickySouthern-qq8sd]

Absolutely loved watching this tonight but sad that the journey is now over. Cadiz looked such a lovely place. You make such fantastic vlogs and bounce off each other. Xx

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you so much!! xx

[@lauraallen6895]

Really enjoyed all of the cruise vlogs, the hard work you put into them really shows. Can't wait for future travel vlogs 🙂

[@amymulvenna4690]

Loved this so much! You have completely sold me on cruising! Definitely going to book one for our next holiday!

[@brogantatexo]

YES! xx

[@wendyluvsbooks6537]

Loved the video of the cruise so great for you both to share it … was there a library on. There or did I miss it in your videos 📚💞📚

[@amy-7133]

Fab cruise series Brogan!! & Benji 😃 Definitely makes me want to book a cruise 😍😍 Thanks for the hard work with the vlogs!! 🥰

[@natashalyall451]

You have definitely inspired us to go on our first cruise! Looks so fun ☺️ thank you for sharing everything ❤

[@brianwalker1748]

going on IONA in 3 weeks, so excited. This will be our 4th cruise, all with P&O. Thank you for all the info.

[@tarniaadams8428]

Lovely to see a proper sail away again , do you know if they are having them on all ships ? We on Ventura in October so hoping they are back on her .If you go back to Cadiz do the Royal Horse training excursion which ends with Cherrie tasting 😊

[@blizzardgirl1365]

I’ve loved this series!!! I’m going on my very first cruise next week with Marella but the two week cruise with P&O also looks amazing. I haven’t even boarded a cruise ship and I think I already have the cruise bug thanks to these vlogs 😂

[@brogantatexo]

Aww yay! Have a great time! xx

[@krissy12200]

Love this and love you both! But can we just take a minute for the way benj looks at you when watching paddington….beautiful xx

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you, he is the best xx

[@04021Emma]

Loved these vlogs so much and so sad they are over! ❤

[@kaydxo1843]

Another amazing vlog. Felt like I was waiting all day to watch this. This is definitely making me want to book my first cruise! Thank you for sharing your trip with us🥰

[@brogantatexo]

Aww thank you so much! Yay! xx

[@olgazasztowt569]

I’m sad the cruise is over! Your vlogs are my fave rn, and honestly I’m not a cruise girly but you are slowly convincing me!!

[@brogantatexo]

Aw thank you so much! xx

[@roxannae3]

This was an amazing series! I loved going along with the two of you on this 2 week voyage. The longest I have sailed was an 8- night Western Caribbean cruise. I love cruising and hope to be able to take an Alaskan cruise someday. I am looking forward to your world cruise series. I know you are excited about it. Make sure you do a packing video for that one . Thanks for sharing!

[@brogantatexo]

Glad you enjoyed it! We will do!

[@sarahthomas7590]

Thank you for a great arvia vlog. Love watching you both. We are off on arvia for the first time in October on a 13 night Mediterranean cruise so your vlogs were great, we are actually travelling down the day before to stay the night in Bournemouth , we stayed in Bournemouth last year as a last min and its just beautiful im drawn back to the wonderful beaches , so first stop Bournemouth then to sunny Southampton to board arvia, cant wait, Happy travels and keep doing what your doing x

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you so much! That's amazing, have a wonderful trip! xx

[@toobydude41]

Hey are you allowed to ring the bells in that tower! hehe Glad the Sangria in a tin was good! 🤣 Yet another vlog..and series...I won't soon forget. This gives new meaning to that song ,which I've always liked , "Come Sail Away". How incredible is "The Reef". Those younger kids sections especially are adorable! And I don't know who can explain everything better than you. Then there's the filming, which is off the charts. Thanks sooo so much Brogan!

[@brogantatexo]

Sadly you can't ring them, they just go off every 15 mins haha! Aww thank you! xx

[@worthingboomer5161]

So glad you finally got to the Epicurean, in my view you have to visit it once on the Cruise. The food is fantastic and the service second to none. It is definitely worth paying a little extra for.

[@brogantatexo]

So good! I completely agree!

[@MikeJT62]

Thanks for the posts, we’re doing our first Arvia cruise next June/July with the same itinerary as yours. All the tips and guides very helpful. Can’t wait 🙂👍

[@nicolechapman6440]

Great vlog. Going to the Mediterranean is definitely on my bucket list, but this fall I have a weeklong cruise with a good friend of mine who lives in Texas and we are sailing out of Galveston on allure of the seas. It will be my first time on royal Caribbean since 2004 and obviously the ships are very different now.

[@jeangradwell3653]

Brilliant idea about putting a "pin" in your map to ensure you return safely. Clever!

[@AlliTurner-l4r]

Another fantastic vlog 😊 xx

[@shelleyj210]

Oh I have loved this series!! Your excitement is always so infectious, and Benji’s history lessons have been so interesting!! Thank you for bringing us along with you xx

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you so much! xx

[@lovelysarah367]

Thank you for taking the time and care to produce such a wonderful series xx ❤

[@brogantatexo]

Glad you enjoyed the vlogs! Thank you for watching! xx

[@HaleyHancocks]

Your vlogs are just the best!! My husband and I were on the same cruise as you guys. One of the best cruises that we experienced and Arvia was just a beauty😊

[@brogantatexo]

Aw thank you so much! xx

[@katemiddleton138]

We’ve booked for 2025 on Iona to the Fjords for my husband’s 40th. I cannot wait to explore a new country, experience everything onboard and celebrate such a special time onboard 😍

[@brogantatexo]

Amazing! Have the most wonderful time celebrating and cruising! xx

[@LJx2604]

Another amazing vlog series. Can't wait for your big one next year😊

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you!!

[@micho2722]

Enjoyed your vlog. We are doing a similar itinerary on MSC Virtuosa in couple of months and found your info on the map of Cadiz with different colour routes interesting so will look out for that. How amazing is the band that you saw in 710 club. We saw them on Iona & enjoyed them so much we went about 4 times

[@coricross682]

I have loved this entire series! Can’t wait to take my first ever cruise in the near future - with Disney Cruise Line. I will put P & O on my bucket list. Gorgeous ship!

[@brogantatexo]

Amazing! xx

[@karenridge6412]

I have cruised a number of times and love P&O cruises and discovered your vlogs after looking for a Caribbean cruise one as not been there before and going in January. Doing Norwegian fiords in May 😊 I am amazed I didn’t know about the star button on the lift 😂. Love watching your vlogs and seeing you and Benji. Also pleased to see him recovering must be doing well to do the bell tower !! Looking forward to further vlogs.

[@brogantatexo]

Thank you so much!!

[@rebeccadervey7103]

Hi, we have just booked this for our holiday this July. As we are both teachers we have to book during the holidays. Would you say the retreat is worth it or did you find the ship large enough for sunbeds and lounging by the pool? Enjoyed watching your vlog!

[@Daniel-v6r2n]

Hi Brogan, Could you tell me what month you went on this cruise as compared to what I've heard about Arvia it looked completely quiet?? Thank you.

[@lesleyblaikie7031]

Thanks for bringing us along - never been on a cruise - giving it consideration 😊

[@lizjones6946]

Loved watching these and travelling with you both ❤

[@WeallneedJesus3]

Your right , used to go all out especially when we all go as family, but husband not fan of dressing up now 🤨 so enjoyed , stay happy lovelies 💕

[@sophieharris]

Amazing!! I have loved this series! ❤

[@lois8888]

Hi, are there plenty of sun loungers for the sea days? Do people “reserve” the sunbeds with towels? Xx

[@Sam5ash]

Loved all your vlogs for this cruise. We’ll check out all your others, just to keep us busy until your world cruise & wedding 👰‍♀️ 🤵‍♂️ Really looking forward to that, you’re a lovely couple x

Aww thank you!! xx

[@samthompson7913]

Loved this! We’re on our first cruise with P&O next year sailing the Med on Britannia - can’t wait!

[@brogantatexo]

Amazing! Have the best time. We love Britannia too! xx

[@SarahE1811]

Brogan, what are your thoughts on solo cruising , would you have done this one solo? I’m thinking about doing one but wondered if I’d feel lonely 😳🤦🏽‍♀️ silly I know 😂

[@brogantatexo]

Honestly, it's one of the best trips to do Solo! P&O Cruises cater for solo cruises, they have solo meet-ups and you could easily eat at any restaurant by yourself. Check out their website for more here! - www.pocruises.com/solo-travellers xx

[@han-rogers]

Just watched 1 to 4 today and now feel like I know you guys. 😂🙈 Have cruised before but these videos have made me SO MUCH more excited for our honeymoon cruise in October. Thank you! I’ve subscribed and will look forward to your wedding cruise next year. ❤️

[@rosemarymerry9070]

Thank you both so much for this soooooo informative series of vlogs. I have been trying to persuade my husband to try a cruise for years. He watched all four videos with me yesterday and today, plus your Norwegian one, and tonight we are actually looking to book on Iona for the Fjords next May. I suffer with travel sickness so could you please advise where is best to book our cabin. I believe mid ship is best but what level would you suggest. Thank you again. X

[@michellebrown8546]

Are black tie nights purely for adults? Now looking into this cruise with our kids for our 10th anniversary thanks to your vlog

[@karenniemeijer9201]

Absolutely loved your whole cruise vlog ,im going on my first cruise beginning of October, the same one as this vlog to med ,,youve made me relax more abou it ,as i was worrying about sea sickness ,and being trapped on board but i think its going to be just fine ,You must also live close by to me as im also about 40 mins from the port ( i guess that depends on which way lol) im in Bournemouth. Anyways Thankyou for showing me around my home for 2 weeks in October and especially all the food 😊💜
