WHERE IS EVERYONE...?! P&O Azura Cruise Vlog: Day 6, Arrecife, Lanzarote

In this video, we're docking in the port of Arrecife, Lanzarote! This is another completely new port for me, so I can't wait to show you what you can get up to if visiting this island as part of your future holiday/cruise!
This video is part of a series, where I'm taking you on a 1-week adventure to Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Madeira and then finishing in Tenerife! I'll be onboard for one full week, and this series will cover each of these ports, plus life onboard P&O Azura, which is one of the cruise ships from P&O Cruises.
If you're new to my channel, hello! I'm Fraser, and I'm hoping to use this channel to introduce as many people as possible to the cruise industry. It's no secret that I absolutely fell in love with this mode of travel/holidaying a few years ago, and I want to now share my passion with you guys, by taking you on my travels with me! So, that's enough typing for now - hit that 'subscribe' button and let's go - I've got SO MUCH to show you!

This was fun, thanks! Beautiful place...well.. Except for the back alley brewery. 🤣 Always sad when things show up in the cabin about last day. I admit I grinned at the drum joke. 🤪

[@FraserAtSea]

Ha, not the cracker joke…!! Agreed that the back alley brewery didn’t hit the right chord - I’m not sure what they’re thinking having that as a top recommendation. Maybe it means I’ll need to go back and try a beer next time…!

[@alisont308]

Great video thanks, I love Lanzarote, especially Playa Blanca. The views from the top of the Grand hotel are really good but yes the towns pretty quiet. When I went early December I did the Playa Blanca trip then round the port town and they had a fabulous nativity model town near the hotel and beach.

[@FraserAtSea]

Thanks for dropping this comment in Alison. Completely agree re the view - stunning, isn’t it? Playa Blanca will probably be on my list next time - not a huge amount to do local to the ship, but nice for a wee wander to pass a day!

[@michaelpass-eo4by]

Yet again another fantastic video. Some great shots of the food in the main dinning room. Looking forward to the next one. Only a few more weeks and we're off to do the same. Thanks for all the info

[@FraserAtSea]

Thanks very much Mike - glad you enjoyed! I can also confirm it tasted as good as it looked, ha!

[@Dedicated1860]

By contrast, all the ports when we travel there later in the month I have been to several times. Doesn't matter because it's a cruise and the weather is better! Arrecife always pretty quiet, but it seemed particularly so for your visit.

[@FraserAtSea]

Ah, you’ve done Arrecife before? Yeah, felt a bit ghost town-like when I visited, which felt really weird when we had a good amount of people on the ship! That said, I’d much rather have a nice quiet port (and beach) than a bustling one!

[@richardstreet7518]

Aghhh ! Missed the crimbo dinner- went to the Beach House for the sizzler !!!

[@FraserAtSea]

Ah, how annoying! However, the beach house sizzler was fantastic, so I wouldn’t worry about missing out… Next time!

[@colord1767]

Another great video Fraser! 🛳🛳

[@FraserAtSea]

Thanks, Col!

@@FraserAtSea I’ve dropped you an email about a legitimate business enquiry, not sure if it’s gone to your spam, but would be great if you’re interested, not spam! (I know re-reading this it sounds like a spam bot but as i’m a new and very small business quite a few emails just drop into peoples spam folders!)

Loving the rule of buying something in every port! I think Aida is German. Germany s versuon of P & O i think.

[@FraserAtSea]

Every little helps! Didn’t realise that re Aida, but does make sense - think I’ll give them a try at some point!

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Frazer , enjoyed this episode to Lanzarote, full of information. How long was the walk from the ship to the town , thanks.

[@FraserAtSea]

Hey, thanks guys! The walk probably took about 10 minutes to get to the section with the yachts, then about another 20 over to the town - all super flat though, so a lovely walk to get rid of some cruise calories… Haha!

[@leeandjancruise]

I'll tell you where everyone are, they're out on extorsions either to Playa Blanca or Puerto del Carmen or Timanfaya.

[@FraserAtSea]

I did think that… Next time!

A case of P&O couldn't organise a 'P up' in a brewery

[@FraserAtSea]

Thankfully, this is an older video now…

[@IrisBella-cy7li]

How long will it take you walking from the port to the shops?

[@FraserAtSea]

Hey! From the port across to the town didn’t take long at all - half an hour maybe? Enjoy!

[@audie_adventures]

Did you have Afternoon Tea on the ship?

[@FraserAtSea]

I didn’t unfortunately - I had a quite scone at the buffet with a cake or two, but didn’t make it for the more ‘formal’ affair in the Main Dining Room. In all honesty, I couldn’t have eaten more food during that week, ha!

[@neiltomlinson9697]

Should of gone into Puerto del Carmen or Costa teguise both bustling resorts with loads to do ...arricefe is a bit of a dump to be honest

[@FraserAtSea]

Ah, will think about them for next time! Wasn’t the most luxurious port by any stretch, but I actually did really enjoy passing a day here!
