P&O Arvia - STUNNING beach in Martinique! Vlog 4

Welcome to our fourth P&O Arvia Caribbean cruise series vlog! Today, P&O Arvia is in Martinique and we've got an exciting day planned as we've booked another excursion with Caribbean Island Tours on Facebook: / caribbeanislandtours
Todays excursion takes us around the south coast of Martinique and includes the following stops:
We visit at the "village de la poterie" (potter village) before we have a chance to snorkle at Beach Anse d'arlet . After that we head to the view point for "Rocher du diamant" and then try shots of rum at rum factory "Trois-Rivieres". To end the day we visit the stunning beach of "Les Salines" before finally return via the south-western coast.
Back onboard we spend some more time at the swim up bar before heading to the Glass House for dinner - we also witness the spectacular pop up show in the main atrium.
Our vlogs aim to bring you along with us, they are fun and hopefully informative, if you are looking for in-depth information rather than a vlog be sure to check out our P&O Arvia Lets Talk Ship reviews over on our playlist: • P&O Arvia REVIEW - Let...

🐒🍌🚢 About Us - Who are the Cruise Monkeys?
We are bananas about cruising! We started cruising in 2014 by doing a mini cruise on P&O Aurora. Making videos of our cruises and sharing our experiences has become our hobby - the complete video is filmed and edited on an iPhone. The videos are our opinions and experiences while on board - really they are us having fun and brining you along with us!
We may not be the youngest cruisers but we are trying to break the stereotype that cruising is for retired people. On a cruise you will normally find us wondering around the ship taking in the atmosphere (and working our way through the cocktails).
We have sailed on P&O Cruises, Cunard Line, Princess Cruises, MSC Cruises, Royal Caribbean and Avalon Waterways. We'd love to try Ambassador Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Fred Olsen, Holland America (HAL), Celebrity, Disney Cruises, Carnival Cruises, Costa, Aida, Marella and Celestyal.

Looked like an awesome port excursion 👍

[@CruiseMonkeys]

So good, lots of rum punch too ;)

[@arthurscruises9310]

What a great vlog, the island is beautiful, those beaches are amazing. Loved this vlog ❤️

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Thanks so much! 😊 Glad you enjoyed it!

[@deborahkent7151]

Great vlog. Guys as usual…when we went to Martinique the queues for the ferry were so long for lots of people…so we walked to the dockside and there were local guys offering boat tours…this was Xmas Eve….no other option for us ..think it was £50pp..what a blast…they took us too areas to swim…natural coves with turquoise waters…music blasting…rum punches..another boat pulled alongside and came aboard with a Xmas bottle of local rum and we all drank to celebrate…then .we raced another speedboat across the ocean…was worth every Penny ..but I was very squiffy after….best xmas eve I will remember ❤️

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Thank you! Oh fantastic, yeah the rum seems to flow freely over there and they are so friendly! Don’t think they allow you to end the excursions sober 🤣

[@travelingtrishthiel]

Another great vlog! I really enjoy how you two share your day with us. Swim up bars are my favorite. I've not encountered one on a ship yet. That would be so cool! And the sunset from the pool, wow, just wow!

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Glad you enjoyed! It was our first to and now we think all ships should have them! 🤣

[@_gregc]

This was so fun to watch! I love it when you are the last men standing and it’s only 1 AM 😂

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Glad you enjoyed! Yes, think the sun and rum in the day means most passengers were done quite early 🤣

[@ThomasNoble-lr9yn]

Me and my wife love your vlogs you always seem to have a great time and that's what its all about

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Awww thank you, glad you enjoy them! Yes, we always enjoy every moment, we think you have to :)

[@carolinedavis9199]

Love sharing your fun times. And Plages de Salines looks fabulous. Looking forward to St Lucia. 😊

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Awww, glad you are enjoying, we always hope we bring you along with us in these videos.

[@CruiseLife22]

Another fantastic video, guys! It was so much fun watching you! Chin chin! 🍾 🍷🍹🍻🥂😂

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Thank you ☺️ 🥂

[@rasferrastfarian739]

Such Fun!

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Fun times 🥳

[@GetLostWithBenAndGareth]

If you guys want a party ship, you’ve got to come aboard Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady! 🎉

[@CruiseMonkeys]

It’s on our to do list as it does look fun!

[@johnhenfrey5936]

Shame you couldn’t take that lovely dog home, the tour around the island looked really fun. After seeing you both eat breakfast, I can see why you are both dieting. 😊

[@CruiseMonkeys]

He was a lovely Pup! Hahahaha, yes, the Christmas podge and cruises have caught up with us, so were trying to be health (and even off the drink) until our next cruise... thankfully that's a week tomorrow! hahaha :)

[@ErrolJ]

Another great vlog, that Benjamin really raised the roof ;). I hope they were able to sort out your lost stickers on the cards for you

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Thank you! Yes, he sure did 🤣 It was only the number, think they knew us well enough by then so we never needed to get new ones 🥳

[@user-vg4iz6up4j]

Hey cruise monkeys, love the video, we went to Martinique too, more modern island bigger roads, but lovely beaches. Great to come back on board to have fish and chips. Keep cruising but!!

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Glad you enjoyed! Yes, the beaches were amazing! Diolch! :)

[@janemayhew1442]

Great video, beaches look lovely, Glass house food looks good , we on Brittania tomorrow 😊 will give that a try !

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Thank you, that final beach was stunning! We've always liked the glass house, well worth a try - have a lovely time on Britannia!

[@janemayhew1442]

Thank you 😊

[@jenniferpratt3854]

Hope your well xx

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Very well, hope you are too!

[@jackchapman743]

Fantastic video guys and I always like your videos and you are so funny and always enjoy watching you. I have never been on a cruise how many have you done now.

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Awww, so glad you enjoy them! It’s around 35 cruises 😀 You must try one!

[@claredyer9153]

Excellent video. Could I have a link to who you booked the excursion with? Thanks

[@ChristineLarbey]

Ribbons....

[@julieirvine8506]

Were going on the msc virtuosa soon hoping it's a bit more lively at night...I seen ur vlog from it and it looked great ❤

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Yes, MSC definitely know how to party! When are you going on her?

[@julieirvine8506]

@@CruiseMonkeys 2nd Sept and I can't wait 🙌 love watching u guys x

[@alisoncrawford1181]

Love you guys. I’ve never been on a cruise but want to book up now. Do you have to buy a food package or is it all included?

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Awww thank you! Cruises are full board, so all your food is included in the buffets and main dining rooms. Tea, coffee and juices included from self serve buffet too. What you pay for in most cases is drinks at bars or speciality dining - for these you can pay as you go or buy a package. Lots of choices of cruise lines that all offer different things, big ships, little ships, formal or not formal etc 😀

[@heatherharry8914]

Interesting vlog as usual and the food looked good! How busy was the ship? It doesn’t look that full? X

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Glad you found it interesting. Food was very good. Can’t remember numbers, not full but very near, can’t remember what was said in the talk, want to say around 4800, the cruise after us was full as we met someone who wanted to stay on (they’d been on since Christmas, buying the next cruise towards the end of each cruise at a reduced price).

[@MN-to8cb]

That tour of the island looked amazing! Do you book direct and how much would that tour cost? ❤️

[@CruiseMonkeys]

We booked Martinique tour via m.facebook.com/groups/caribbeanislandtours/ - it was €80 per person. Owena runs the group and organises it all! We also booked St Kitts and St Marten through her, all fab tours. You pay a small deposit and the rest is cash to the guide. Great local tours! At Lucia and Barbados we did book through p&o.

[@MN-to8cb]

@@CruiseMonkeys Thank you for the response. We went in February and have booked for next year so will definitely be booking that tour. Thank you ❤️

[@emmalewis6300]

Hi both. Please can I ask which your this was? Looks great and keen to book. Thanks Emma

[@CruiseMonkeys]

This was January 28th this year 👍

[@emmalewis6300]

Sorry my comment was to ask which tour this was! Blooming autocorrect typo error 😂

[@KenGoesCruising]

Luv the rum, I can't believe the ship went to sleep so early was it like that every night? Was the age group on board more like us than you?

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Wish you were onboard with us! Yes, other than the formal night, most nights the disco was closed down by 1am. Think many were enjoying themselves in the sun during the day or up and off the ship for excursions. A good mix of ages with most in their 50s and 60s.

[@KenGoesCruising]

@@CruiseMonkeys We will be joining you very soon now

[@harvey_holt3854]

I can't remember if I've already asked this but how late are the pools/swim up bar open? Also what time was it roughly when you were in it in the video?

[@CruiseMonkeys]

From memory, pools were open 8am to 8pm. The swim up bar was open till around 11pm. We'd often go there late afternoon and never had issues finding a seat, this would have been between 6:00-7:00pm as we would go there before heading back to the room to change. Hope that helps :)

[@marecianoble5826]

What time does the swim up bar close

[@CruiseMonkeys]

Think that one was 11pm :)

[@jenniferpratt3854]

Hi guys hows ux

[@CruiseMonkeys]

We're fab thank you Jennifer! Hope you are having a nice weekend :)
