P&O Arvia Day 3 | Tortola | Cane Garden Bay & Callwood Rum Distillery | Keel and Cow 2024

Hi everyone,
In this week's P&O Arvia Caribbean Cruise video we are in the British Virgin Islands at the largest Island, #Tortola. We start by admiring our view from the ship with a quick breakfast at The Quays. We then get a bus over to Cane Garden Bay, the bus journey itself is an adventure! We have a walk along the beach and then head over to Callwood Rum Distillery to sample the different types of rum that they make. It was 5 samples for $1 which was amazing!
We then head back to the beach and try the famous Painkiller cocktail, from the first place we tried this it was a premixed one but it was still very nice and refreshing. We both have a dip in the sea, the water was such a lovely colour and we enjoyed our time here admiring the view and just really appreciating where we were.
After a while on the beach we decided to walk a bit further and came up to a beach bar called Quito's Gazebo. We then got to try a real Painkiller cocktail made fresh and it was so so good! We also had the BEST margarita we have ever had from here and it was huge haha We decided after lots of drinks we should probably get some food so I had some chicken tenders and Dane had Fish Tacos which are the best he has ever had, very fresh. We kept meaning to leave but we were having such a great time that we waited until the last bus. We got that bus no problem, but as you will see in the video it all gets a bit nerve racking to see if we will get back to the ship!
Spoiler alert we did make it back on board #pandocruises and while we still had our swimwear on we decided to take a dip in the swim up bar while it wasn't as crowded. We had many drinks by this stage and after being out in the sun with the sea air we were shattered. We thought we could just have a 40 minute nap but that didn't happen and it was about an hour and a half later when we woke up. We were meant to go to the Limelight Club this evening but we missed it and we were so devastated it took a lot to come back from. But we found the strength and got ready and decided we would try the Keel and Cow instead it was really good but we do go back later in the trip when we are in a better place to truly appreciate it haha
We finished the night by watching Liss Jones doing the Lady Gaga tribute, she was really good and we enjoyed this show. We had a brilliant day in Tortola even if our evening didn't go exactly to plan it was still a fantastic day and we can't wait to share more of the #cruisevlogs with you!

[@ThemeParkBazza]

Not surprised they sat you near the bar with your reputation after your “ nap” 😂😂. Great to see the show from your dinner table but boy it was noisy

[@RipRideVlogIt]

We were so upset but should have known a half hour nap wasn’t going to happen after all those drinks but still a great day haha 💙✨

[@PurposelyReRouted]

P&O used to also go to the neighbouring US Virgin Islands, Charoltte Amalie capital of St, Thomas, then stopped going and switched to BVI. BVI beaches used to be less busy and commercial. Used to take people to the island you see Jost Van Dyke and go to Foxys bar for live music and cheap drinks.

[@RipRideVlogIt]

Oh amazing, wish we could have gone back then! Foxys bar sounds right up our street! Thanks for sharing that, the more you know! Thanks for watching 🤩💙

I have never sailed on P&O before but so cool to see another cruise ship line as we've only ever sailed Royal Caribbean. Tortola looks so beautiful. Love those palm trees. The beach and water look lovely. Greg and I call those giant birds pterodactyls too hahaha. A rum distillery is always fun to check out! Poor driver on your way back! Nice to relax at the pool too after. Looks like some fun night entertainment too :)

[@RipRideVlogIt]

Hey thanks for watching haha they definitely are dinosaurs those birds 🤣 we had a great time on P&O but to be honest kinda wish we were on Wonder 🤣 hope you're having a great weekend

[@AlanCollins-h5l]

Really enjoying your vlogs- especially as we have booked a 2 week cruise on Arvia Sept 14th 2025 to go around the Med. May bump into you both one day. Keep up the good work 🙂

[@RipRideVlogIt]

That sounds like a great itinerary and Arvia is a great ship to do it on 😀 haha thanks again for watching the vids it's really appreciated!

[@SpeedTherapy407]

Tortola is very pretty…… the water and mountains are stunning. Quitos Gazebo looks like they serve fantastic food/drinks…. And that view, the best! That stinks the bus broke down but Im glad you’ll were able to catch a back up bus and get to the ship on time. Both entrees at Keel & Cow looked delicious. Dane, I like your shirt. How cool…. A Lady Gaga tribute. I love her music. I hope you’ll see the Pink tribute as she is another favorite of mine. You’ll had a awesome fun packed day!! I can’t wait to see what else you’ll get in too. Cheers!!

[@RipRideVlogIt]

It was so beautiful it was the port we enjoyed the most and had some real core memories! The bus was an adventure and memorable haha 😂 thanks so much for watching! Hope you’re having a great week so far 💙🤩

[@berniebrougham8698]

This video had so much content ! Beautiful beach.....so many people, but no wonder with two massive cruise liners. All drinks and food looked great. I have always wanted to go onto a warm sea.....lucky you. It looked fabulous. Then the journey back to the ship giving you a talking point in the future cos it broke down . Food and entertainment during the evening onboard ....what more could anyone want.

[@RipRideVlogIt]

We loved Tortola so much it gave us lots of core memories and it was just so beautiful! You’ll get to the warm sea I believe! Haha it would have to happen to us but yea I do like having the story to tell 😂 evening didn’t go exactly to plan but it ended up pretty good all the same! Thank you for watching 🤩😍💙 xxx
