[@andyandkirstie]

😁👍

[@vinaydixit935]

Had few glimpses from your cruise on instagram, but was waiting for your vlogs. Nice coverage on vlog 1. Great start for the weekend,

[@rodneygregory4306]

Nice to see you back again we've missed your cruise vlogs. Makes us excited for our cruise with Marella to the Caribbean in 3 weeks time. Rod & Dee. Cornwall

[@andyandkirstie]

Have a great time!

[@djl4922]

Great to have new content. I know it takes a lot of time putting it all together, but we always look forward to all your new postings.

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks! Yes, it does take a lot of time!

[@yvonneforrest5218]

Lovely vlog looking forward for the rest we were on Britannia in January and there was only 1,700 guests on board we loved the Caribbean ❤️

[@philvie]

So nice to see you both enjoying your cruise, looking forward to the rest of your trip, BTW, your editing skills have really come a long way from when I first started watching your vlogs, very enjoyable content

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks, glad you liked it! I actually quite enjoy the editing part of the process.

[@jlizardi5013]

Nice to have you back on our side of the ocean! That ship is pretty similar to some Princess' ships. Love the way they configured the cabin closets (Princess have them open).

[@andyandkirstie]

Yeah, we've been on Emerald Princess which was identical, just with different decor.

[@SIKELL1]

Great video as always guys. Hope you have a great time...Cabin looks ok if not a bit dated...Reminds me of the Crown princess about 10 years ago.

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks! They've recently updated a lot of furniture and carpets, such as the buffet, but yes, the cabin is showing it's age.

[@davesneddon3734]

Nice to see you guys back travelling again 😁

[@andyandkirstie]

Nice to be back!

[@Tianablue1]

WoW! Great to see you both back! Looking forward to this as we have our own Caribbean cruise in Jan 2023 for our Honeymoon... We got married during lockdown! 🙂

[@andyandkirstie]

Awesome, congratulations! 💑

[@angelahorton5745]

Great video! The Azura looks really good. I'm getting excited about our first P&O experience (Iona) in just under 3 weeks.

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks! Have a great time on Iona!

[@FraserAtSea]

Ah, I feel like I haven't seen you guys on here in a while - great to see you pop up today!

[@suemoore8351]

Hi Guys, lovely to see you both. Booked for December so interested to see your day excursions. Thank you x

[@andyandkirstie]

You'll have a great time!

[@MattNowell]

first video i've seen of you guys!! i loved it!! such a beautiful trip.

[@andyandkirstie]

Awesome, thanks! 😊

[@yorkieterrier8868]

We have only just discovered your blogs, really enjoying them.

[@andyandkirstie]

Great stuff, thanks!

[@dennisdalessio8238]

Glad you are back cruising. I was following you on Instagram during your cruise. We were on the Emerald Princess going through the Panama Canal from Ft. Lauderdale to Los Angeles. Thanks for the foodie review and cannot wait to see more. We have never been to St. Vincent.

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks! We loved Emerald and, of course, she's the same class of ship as Azura. Panama canal sounds great 👍

[@tarniaadams8428]

Loved your hanging kebab , looks just like an Espetada ( Portuguese speciality that can be meat , fish or both ) - great to see you back 😊

[@ronmcphail]

Been waiting for this! Watched your Instagram posts the past couple of weeks.

[@shaunandsarahjanetravel]

Great video and really looking forward to watching the rest. We have done quite a few cruises but never a Caribbean it’s one we really want to do

[@andyandkirstie]

Yeah do it! It's so nice and chilled and being in the fantastic weather when everyone else is freezing at home is a bonus! There are some awesome places to visit too, as you'll see during this series.

[@carlbeeston3268]

Was literally thinking the other day....Andy and Kirsty must be due for another cruise....and we get another v log series.....and then I got a notification saying new v log......perfect thanks so much looking forward to watching the videos.

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks for watching! 🤗

[@firstfreonwarrior]

Good to see yo back cruising again. We had one of those larger inside cabins once, we had to be moved because of a loud mechanical bang coming from behind the wall.

[@andyandkirstie]

Funnily enough our cabin was pretty loud too.

[@kevinseymour8793]

Been hoping to see something from you both for weeks, so quite a surprise to find a lovely treat for a Saturday evening. Liking the look of this trip so far. Not sure if you are still away or if this is delayed later but wishing you both good health, pleased to see your appetite has remained, nearly made me head to the kitchen for a late supper treat too after seeing your tasty looking meal at the Beach House

[@andyandkirstie]

Glad you enjoyed it! We've been home a week now and missing it already!

[@catherineb6561]

I too love avocado on toast YUM. I can't believe Kirstie ate that whole 'lava rock steak' it looked HUGH !!!🤭

[@rexbourne7635]

Well done. Most envious. The Beach House looked amazing and reduced numbers on ship really good. Seems bazarre when a'war is going on. A bit of escapism. You had no idea when you booked this what is happening now a billion miles away. Most impressed with you borh. Organised and sorted. Ann Bourne

[@MrPants1970]

Great video……

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks 👍

[@elainehirst]

Great vlog. I got back from Iona (during storm Eunice) last week and I agree, I much prefer Azura. Iona’s horn was very underwhelming!

[@davidpennington6800]

We going on her 31st March. Leave some margaritas for me. But then I love pina coladas. Hope you have a lovely time

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks!

[@joannelarose8198]

I am craving a cruise if only for the food. Lol!

[@andyandkirstie]

😆👍

[@Schenkerflyingv]

Looking good guys. I know I have said before, but I am on the Arvia in March 23, but having watched various vlogs on the Iona, I’m wondering if I would prefer to be back on Azura, for the reasons you mention 🤔 Either way, I’m looking forward to it 😎

[@andyandkirstie]

You'll have a great time on Arvia as we did on Iona. Then you ll be able to decide which you prefer. For us, it's the smaller ship experience.

[@breadyegg]

Interesting! Looking forward to seeing some Arvia vlogs popping up. Same capacity as the Iona but slightly different features, so I understand.

[@leeandjancruise]

A pleasure to see you both cruising again, you know I've never tried a margarita but will next month on our Princess cruise, do you recommend the one with the salty rim?

[@andyandkirstie]

Try salt on the rim, if you don't like it, you can always rub it off!

[@stevenwalker9305]

Good to see you back, Azura looking pretty good for her age, very quite ? What's the cabin number, I like the layout ?

[@andyandkirstie]

Yeah, it was pretty quiet. Not much more than half full. The cabin was R407.

[@mikefriend7449]

Andy it makes me wonder how Fit and slim you both look,. I’ve put on weight just watching you, Great watching you both 🛳

[@andyandkirstie]

😁👍

[@ThemeParkBazza]

Sorry Kirstie you are on your own for your breakfast choice, Max and I are with Andy. Great cinematography and music as always !!!. Thoughts on inside cabin vs cabin with a window ?

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks! Inside cabin is fine, not bothered about a window at all. Did miss a balcony for watching the port arrivals and sail aways though.

[@paulwilson1492]

Great Vlog series this and we are now looking at a Caribbean cruise. Can I ask which Airline do P&O use? I was wondering if you can upgrade your flight etc.

[@andyandkirstie]

It's a chartered Tui Dreamliner. Really good 👍 Glad you liked the video!

[@paulwilson1492]

@@andyandkirstie thank you

[@catherineb6561]

those lapel mics pick up every sound...YES the crackling was crackling

[@andyandkirstie]

It sounded loud to me, so thought it'd be loud on the mic!

[@TravelwithUsLynnePaul]

We are looking at a cruise on Azura and an inside cabin in 2024 - if you don’t mind saying, what cabin number were you in. It looks a good size and wouldn’t mind booking something similar

[@andyandkirstie]

It was cabin R407. It was a decent size.

[@terrilongden275]

Hi again I’ve booked my p and o cruise now for next year and it says after 48 hours you can book your coach however when I do it, it’s still trying to charge me even though I did the select price to ensure i got the coach included. Have you had any issues with this before? And your holiday is going to be amazing xx

[@andyandkirstie]

Sorry, we've never traveled by coach. Not sure about that one. 😕

[@johnhansford4438]

So pleased to see you back. The mask wearing and paperwork are only to be expected but are a happy compromise for the cruise actually taking place. Very much looking forward to your further updates and the tantalising menu tasters. Have a fantastic time

[@andyandkirstie]

Thanks!

[@breadyegg]

When at full capacity on a ship, I still sometimes think "where is everybody?" At half capacity it looks like you're practically the only people onboard.

[@andyandkirstie]

It was a bit like that sometimes, although it was busier out in the sunshine.

[@irishinusa1615]

How many passengers on the ship? Looked like...less crowded

[@andyandkirstie]

We heard between 1500 and 1800, but don't know exactly. Either way not much more than half full.

[@irishinusa1615]

@@andyandkirstie could tell. Great time to cruise lol. Saw you pop up during Garys live today 👍👊🥂. We cruise extensively. How are your dogs doing? Loved seeing them during lockdown. Wishing you both a great year ahead. Would love to see more on Travel experiences to cruise. Arrival and choice of pre cruise hotels. Always. Useful information 👍 🥰🥂
