We just spent two weeks on the P&O Arvia, the newest and biggest cruise ship made for the UK. But not everything was good - we tried most of the extra pay speciality and free restaurants. The cruise food was not as good as we expected!

I watch all of your videos even from 5 or 6 years ago....lol I am so sorry you guys had a $hit cruise. you both look very disappointed! sending much love from your adopted gram in Ct usa xoxo

[@tracytrebilcox]

I have failed Spanish, but got an A in Armenian, and want to try Welsh.

[@kdbsuff9625]

So, that's P&O off the list. Thank you for the information. It looked like 9 days at Bluewater shopping centre.

[@TVHouseHistorian]

I've never heard good things about their food. Same with MSC. I don't know what keeps KZbinrs coming back to these two cruise lines. It's possible they do other things well, but when the food scene is off, for me, it puts a huge damper on the entire vacation.

[@WaterWorld1]

Try Ambassador: good food, good entertainment, great fares!

[@goytabr]

​@@TVHouseHistorian, I guess that with MSC it depends on luck and the itinerary. I recently saw a series of videos by a Brazilian globetrotter couple who chose to return home from Europe on a 21-day repositioning cruise on MSC (Genoa to Santos with several stops), and they loved the food. They found a few of the specialty restaurants not worth the price, but even those weren't altogether bad, just overpriced, and they totally praised most other restaurants and the buffet as well.

[@travelswithstephen9031]

I don't think they even gave the staff the chance to fix the problem

[@italiana626sc]

Ben, you always crack me up when describing sausage!! Too funny!! 😅😂 Love you both and appreciate your honest reviews. Watched several of your vids - finally subscribed. ❤

Ben’s sausage ordeal at 14:00 was a succinct comedic show if I’ve ever heard one. The silver lining solace in this food bonanza was you boys and your sense of humor. Absolutely lovely

[@suegordon6805]

Agreed. I love watching all their videos. They are so cute together and so funny.

[@breadyegg]

It made me get a tingle

[@TVHouseHistorian]

The way the humor just *slides* off of Ben's tongue. It's a gift.

[@heatherreynolds4109]

I almost wonder if P&O purposely serve terrible complimentary food so they can make money off the paid dining options. Thank you always for being honest on your reviews!

[@breadyegg]

I'm pretty sure MSC do that!

[@loeschzone6876]

That was my thought as well. How disappointing.

[@carolr9301]

I am disappointed by you how much you've slated the food on Arvia. The food is nothing like you say on there.

[@carolr9301]

They don't serve terrible food. I've been on more than 20 P & O cruises and I'm surprised how they've slated it when the foods nothing like I know.

[@loeschzone6876]

@@carolr9301 sounds like you all had very different experiences.

[@missy4663]

Another honest review. Thank-you! I recently watched another KZbinr’s review of this ship and she made very little mention of the poor quality of food and also said that the maximum wait time to get into restaurants (via the app) was around 15 mins. I agree with your review and would not be impressed with the quality of food on offer either. But I question some of the motives behind some of these KZbinr reviews. Your channel is one of the most honest. Keep ‘em coming!

[@howardosden3112]

As an American, I guess I should be happy that P & O doesn't want my trade.

[@maryanncapece2623]

Hi Ben and David. Seems like you spent so much money on specialty dining. I have to admit, the Proper Tea looked amazing. As well as the ice cream trays. Thank you for taking us along with you and for all your hard work.❤❤

[@timmeekings6899]

We were on Arvia the same time as you. We had the afternoon tea in the Epicurean and walked out without finishing it. We thought it was a rip-off. The Keel & Cow was one of our favourites for breakfast. If you'd sat round the corner where the bar is then no-one walks past. The 6th Street Diner was excellent. You must have had bad chefs when you went.

[@barnum4244]

If food is not up to scratch, inform the waiter and give them a chance to get the galley to fix it. I know you've said you don't like complaining, so try the word "informing" instead. We've just been on P&O Aurora where one of the main meals was poor (stone cold), the waiter whisked it away and reappeared with a fresh piping hot one, turning a negative experience positive, he handled it so well. I've also changed choice in the past when presented with something sub-par and it's been resolved without a problem. I know Carnival corporation is playing Ker-Plunk with the cruise product and if we don't inform them, they'll keep pulling more sticks away. Recent experience indicates Royal Caribbean are beating P&O in the technique of ruining the Main Dining Room Experience to push guests into the extra cost venues.

[@brentshuffler1234]

[4] BIG SHIPS versus SMALL(ER) SHIPS: Ben and David, if I could add one more topic to the comments: your latest experience, of the many that you have helpfully shared with us in this channel, seems also to be confirming that the bigger the ship, the blander the service tends to become and the worse the food-quality becomes, on average, versus smaller and older ships with highly experienced employees. I recall that you made similar comments when you went from smaller cruiseships to mega-ships within the same fleet (e.g., Royal Caribbean cruiseline). It made me decide not to go on large ships (e.g., over 4,000 passengers) any time soon . . . E.g., my last cruise (Royal Caribbean Grandeur of the Seas, the oldest ship in that fleet) was extremely memorable in many ways, including discovering that both the service and the variety and the food-quality in the Main Dining Room were so good that I stopped going to the buffet even for breakfast and lunch.....after decades of always going to the buffet-deck for the morning and afternoon meals and then always going to the main dining room (or an occasional specialty restaurant) in the evening. In the process, I rediscovered the beauty of having repeated good relations with the staff, who quickly recognised me by face (anywhere on the ship) and often by name, including some who came to greet me even when they were not assigned to my table. I was constantly amazed how, among 2,000 guests, they remembered my name, which items I preferred, and even which drinks/food I had ordered earlier that day or the previous day!!! These are the little touches and gestures that make a cruise truly memorable and encourage discerning guests to return to the same cruiseline and even to the same ship over and over again. For instance, after trying a few different tables in the M.D.R., when I found an excellent Waiter, I asked to be seated in that Waiter's section every night for the rest of my cruise.....and it happened. I could easily imagine living on a cruiseship in retirement......

Having twice cruised on Arvia - First sailing over the notorious Christmas time a nightmare, and then last April. I think the answer for around the ship is that’s the atmosphere is nothing just flat. Music! That would lighten up the mood. Thanks guys!!

[@Heidi1977meow]

Stumbled across your channel and am hooked! Love the humor. Obviously I couldn’t taste the different foods you ordered on this cruise, but many of them looked very unappetizing. Glad to see you found a few edible items here and there.

[@suegordon6805]

This is why hubby and I always cruise on Viking. None of this nonsense. It’s all inclusive, no nickle and diming you. No horrible shows, just enrichment lectures and nice music, piano, violin, and even a planetarium. The food is the best, including sushi and sashimi and great restaurants. Even wine. If you want spirits, it does cost extra but we don’t drink spirits. We won’t cruise on any other line.

[@corinnemcleod1804]

Viking rocks, the sushi and sashimi was available every night, as was the crab, shrimp etc. The wine flowed and I had a wonderful time

[@bluewinkle123]

This review was hilarious! It's nice to see you both have some levity and humor despite the bad food at some places. It appears that maybe the cooks are not tasting the food they make or checking temperatures before they serve the food. That cheese sandwich was a discrace. I'm so glad to see you ended it on a beautiful ice-cream tea party.

[@sarahbailey6996]

If the food is not up to standard then complain and get them to sort it out and sort out the problems,if you don’t say anything if it’s not right then it’s your fault. Keep it real and say something to give them a chance to sort it. Yes the food did look crap but say it is so it gets sorted. I am on there in September this year.

[@DavidJones-lz4io]

It’s been said before, but people who go to eat shirtless have no idea that it’s very disrespectful and plain wrong!

[@bitterbeauty711]

The first time my husband took me home to meet his parents his father sat down at the table for lunch with no shirt on. And he was super hairy, back as much as chest. My future mother-in-law gave him the most amazingly lethal death glare I’ve ever seen to this day 35 years later. Without a word he got up, left the room and then returned…wearing a shirt.

[@DavidJones-lz4io]

He did the sensible thing obviously 😄😄

[@lisahamil3625]

Love you guys, you make me laugh with all your innuendos. Happy Cruising xoxo

[@joanfreestone1707]

I was amazed at how many things on P & O are not included in the cost of the fare. It would make it hard for some people to afford to cruise with them. Thanks for an unbiased review.

[@Ray-ki6fs]

Well, you should try it before making your mind up. Differences being drinks are a vastly cheaper on board and gratuities are included in the price you pay for the cruise and there is no added service charge anywhere, which is much better value for your £. You also need to factor in that this was a cheap cruise at time of sailing, despite what they paid for their suite. Having been on many cruises on different lines since 2000, they are all similar in their offerings, although some do the presentation better than others. I'm not a P&O champion, but have done a few in that time and I was on this cruise, and have been watching Ben & David for years, I have something to compare against their review, which doesn't ring true with regard to my experience, for example they gave no mention on the sea days of guest speakers or dance classes making it sound like there was nothing on apart from a bit of trivia. I'm sorry to say it, but they gave a jaundiced review, maybe because of their experience and interactions with some unsavoury characters on board during the cruise.

[@kathyslocombe1182]

Really appreciate your honest critique. Not only did some of the food put me off but what's with P & O allowing a male guest be shirtless in the buffet. Very rude and unappetizing. Ben, your humour is outstanding. You always give me a laugh, especially when I had to look at those colourless dishes. P & O could also take some lessons on 'presentation'. Great video nonetheless.

Which 3 cruises, in your opinions, have the best or at least better food? Which River Cruise ship or boat has the best food? I'm thinking about taking a Viking Ship Cruise next time. I've been on the Viking River Cruise and was very impressed with the whole experience. I absolutely love your reviews and look forward every Sunday for your next one 🥰

Thanks so much for the tip on booking dining prior to boarding where possible. I didn't realize it was that important.

We cruised on Arvia's maiden cruise. Can you believe it was a lot worse than this. It was Christmas and New Year and it made the British newspapers about how bad it was. We complained when we returned and received a good credit towards another cruise on Ventura in September.. After that we doubt we will be cruising P and O again. Thanks as always Ben and David for the reviews and the laughs.😂

[@PlayerWellKnown]

To be fair, many maiden voyages are like that, regardless of the company. New ship, new staff and new processes for everyone to learn. Personally, I’d always steer clear of early cruises.

[@johndarnell7651]

[@bronniepaterson4694]

We loved the food on Arvia…the only extra pay ones we did were Keel n Cow and Beach House..We liked them. We only ate twice in the MDR’s…the food was good. Both gala nights. The 6th Street Diner was awful…as was the over priced food in the Limelight club. The best coffee was from the Buffett. We take out own tea n coffee and have them on the balcony or just in the cabin. The Quays fish n chips was fabulous… I love black pudding… The sea day were good for us…we don’t do quizzes,or classes. We played cards,Skipbo and slept. There’s nothing like snoozing with sound of the sea as you sail along. Hubby binged watched a series and I spent a lot of time up at the Beachcomber Pool…. I loved the ice cream from the Skydome. We have afternoon tea from the buffet a lot. They even supplied me with raspberry jam as I’m very allergic to strawberries. All the staff were very polite but some were MUCH better than others!! 👍🇬🇧 We’re looking forward to sailing again on Arvia….

[@LizzyUK71]

Love your reviews. We did the Ice-cream afternoon tea on Iona this year and I agree you only need to order one. My only issue with it was their wasn't enough flavour variety. All vanilla, chocolate and hazelnut. Which normally wouldn't be an issue but with this volume of food it could have used one of their sorbet lollies to cut through the sweetness of it all. So for me it's a one and done. But no fear there are lots of delicious sundaes to try at ripples on our next cruise.

Afternoon tea on Princess is nice, not quite as fancy, but it’s no cost.

We did a European cruise on Arvia which had 7 sea days, which we chose so we could relax. We found a lack of entertainment during the day - on other ships we were dashing between sessions and trying to fit in lunch. And it was a struggle to sunbathe because of the sunbed hoggers and you couldn't swim because the pools were full of kids. It's a great ship for families and extended groups, but for traditional cruisers, it doesn't work.

[2] Other major cruiselines (e.g., Royal Caribbean, Holland America and Carnival) offer afternoon tea for FREE....plus several complimentary options.....versus having to pay so much for so many venues on this P & O ship....and there is always good food on the other cruiselines that I have experienced. Yes, a particular item on a particular menu might not delight entirely, but there are so many other options freely available that I could always find interesting and pleasing dishes to select....and then the menus changed every day for up to 12 consecutive days! . . . .

[@martindenny8642]

I have been on Britannia a found the ship a bit underwhelming to be honest and the food was just OK, nothing special. Accessible cabin was a good size, bigger than MSC Virtuosa but nowhere near the size of marella discovery 2, which was huge. The layout was strange and getting to MDR meant a lot of changing lifts. Eric Lanlard afternoon tea really was special, strange wall art in epicurean which look like a sperm montage, really weird!

P&O's food standards have slid further and further down over our last few cruises with them. The best we could hope from them was a "meh" and not being hungry anymore. It's a cheap cruise, but there's a limit, especially since the food is one of the main pleasures on that kind of holiday. The two oases in the desert of blandness on the Aurora was The Glasshouse and the chippy at The Quays.

you two certainly suffer for your art. Thanks once again for a superb revue. If it wasnt confirmed previously, I wont be doing a P&O cruise. EVER.

Love your reviews guys. We also sailed Arvia ( on the infamous maiden voyage) following many 6 other wonderful p and o cruises. Sadly it was our last p and o. We agreed with your food reviews. Plus feel since covid the cruises standards have slipped with this line. Also seem to be targeting families more and we are not looking for a family holiday these days.

Love your videos guys, you should be on the telly. I do think you are a bit hard on P & O as they are the best Value out there.with good Entertainment, low drink costs, no gratuities, and the food is OK. Been on three different P&O ships but we are trying Celebrity next time - lets see the difference. Keep up the good work. Dave Andrews

Ben, what fun seeing you in your Babbel ad. You look cute and we actually could understand your Spanish!

I clicked on your link for Babbel. I'd like to learn some Japanese for a cruise later this year, but unfortunately,they don't offer it! I do enjoy your content!
