I was just refreshing my mind about the ship, as we were on this voyage also. Going on it again 11th Feb.

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

That’s amazing. Made up for you. It’s such a great ship. Thanks for watching our videos :) xx

Great video guys. We have subscribed to you and will now enjoy the rest of your videos. We are lucky to live just outside Southampton so cruising is so easy

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Thank you very much for subscribing, watching and commenting. Jess and I very much appreciate it. Stay tuned for more videos 😀 - Wayne 👍

Hi, great video. We go for first cruise on Arvia March 2024. Where do get p& o lanyard from ?

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Hello, Karen Thank you for watching our vlog and commenting. It means a lot to us. We love to go on the arvia, but at the moment it's a bit out of our price range. We probably have to wait a little while until the prices lower a bit. We got our P&O lanyards from a company called MKD Studios. There was a promotion on at the time, where you could get 2 for £8 Here's the link below. I'm not entirely sure if that promotion is still happening. We purchased these last September for our P&O Britannia cruise. Those vlogs are also on our channel. - Wayne 👍 www.mkdstudios.shop/product-page/p-o-cruises-lanyard-with-card-holder

@@HolidayWithTheHeathers hi, it will take us 2 years to save that’s why we booked 2024.I have ordered 2 lanyards.they were £6 each but I got free post.

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

@@karengodson9476 that’s great so pleased that you ordered them :) don’t blame you, we do the same and book far in advance xx

Thanks for the insights. How early do you think I should leave before embarking? Thanks

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Hello thanks for watching and commenting. We personally suggest that you travel to Southampton the day before embarkation day and stay in a hotel the night before. There's plenty of hotels located in the area. 3 weeks before your sail date you can normally log on to your booking and check in. Once you have successfully checked in P&O will then give you a boarding time. It states on that boarding time that you must not turn up before the time stated on the ticket. We are actually going back on the Iona next Saturday so if you enjoyed this series, look out for our next Iona series in a couple of weeks time. - Wayne 🙂 xx

@@HolidayWithTheHeathers thank you for the heads up and the reply. My parents are travelling on Saturday too. I was also thinking of booking them into a hotel.

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

@@goog82ac No worries. I'm glad we can help. Jessica and I always say if we can help at least 1 person with our vlogs or comments then we have done a good deed for the day. Oh wow! They are probably sailing around the Norwegian Fjords with us then. Yeah we really recommend getting the hotel the night before. Travelling on the day for us is a bit risky. The ship won't wait about if your late. We booked our hotel last month. I think it was around £60 (but we did have a money off voucher) There is a huge shopping mall nearby with loads of shops and restaurants so if you do travel the day before there's plenty of things to do 🙂

@@HolidayWithTheHeathers thank you!! Have a lovely time! Its my parents first cruise so trying to get all the tips for them!

[@goog82ac]

Are you leaving tomorrow or next week?

[@robwales2282]

Great vlog, how did you manage to get an upgrade? Have you been with P&O before? I have still to go on a cruise. Love vlogs to give me an idea of what to expect.

[@HolidayWithTheHeathers]

Thank you so much! My husband Wayne simply emailed and phoned to ask. They kindly upgraded us as we had the box ticked to say we’d like an upgrade if possible. We cruised with P&O in September 2021 on Britannia our vlogs are also on the channel from that cruise. It’s amazing you should of course go. Your missing out :) any questions please fire away - Jessica x
