Thank you for such an informative and fun video. We are doing this cruise onboard Arvia in November. Cruising from Antigua to Barbados. This is our first visit to the Caribbean and we’re wondering what to expect. However your video has given us a great insight into what to expect and some great ideas to do when ashore. Looking forward to future videos. Keep up the great work 🍹😎🛳️😊

My pleasure! So pleased it was helpful for you - you are going to have a wonderful trip! Arvia is beautiful and there is just so much to do on board. I needed longer really to show you more of what's available. We are headed to Norway on Iona as a family trip so it will be great to show more of what's available and from a different perspective. I'd love to hear back from you when you return to hear how you got on!

What an incredible trip! I've never been on a cruise. I've always worried about feeling sea sick, but it looks so big that you probably wouldn't even feel the movement. Would love to go on a cruise maybe sometime in the future with the boys! x

We're doing our first P&O cruise in the next 2 weeks we can't wait! Ours is only north Europe, but we're still excited. The ship looks stunning. We're definitely going pack some highlighters for the cruise news!!! We don't want to miss anything. We really enjoyed travelling with you and getting a bit of sun in the Caribbean. Cheers 🍻

We are going on the same cruise in November, I was wondering how you found getting to sunbeds and getting access to the pools etc? Because I've only been on Norwegian fjords ones and it's not an issue on that due to the weather

@LaraJoannaJarvis

Жыл бұрын

Ah I’d love to do the Norwegian fjords! I hope you have a lovely time on The Caribbean cruise this year. I will say on a sea day the areas around pools will be busy, the pools themselves weren’t though. If you can, the retreat is a lovely quiet area of the ship, this does come with an additional fee though, i think of around £12. To be honest though, there’s so much to do on board that on the sea day I found myself wanting to make the most of the rest of the ship. There’s even an escape room! Cinema, spa, entertainment, activities like golf, high wires etc. so there’s plenty to do if you don’t choose to sit by the pool and I found the sides of the ship to be nice and quiet to lay down around if the pool is too busy. Hope you have a great time!!

Loved your video! I’m going as a single guy, am hoping to meet the woman of my dreams. Hopefully you’ll be on, you’re just my type 😅

Nope!! Not at all! You can barely feel it moving due to the size of it, the only time I felt it was when it was turning into port for example but even then it was very mild! No issues at all :) x

Thank you! No, I didn't get any vaccinations. You might need to check for yourself though. The wi-fi is ok, amazing really considering you're in the middle of the ocean! There are different packages available too. If you don't desperately need it you could just use your normal 4G when on the islands and enjoy the peace truly "offline" for the sea days! xx

So happy for you Laura. What is a cover charge? What is actually included? How much are the excursions? Can you do your own excursions? Can't you get cash on board to use on the islands?

@sue488

Жыл бұрын

The meals in the main dining room (MDR) and the buffet etc are included in the price of the cruise but the speciality restaurants charge a "cover charge" as they are not included - it is just a supplement - not sure how much but usually isn't a lot. The food on the ship is good anyway so you don't have to go to the speciality restaurants if you dont want to. The excursions prices vary but you can book your own or just get off the ship and do what you want.

We absolutely loved Arvia! So much to do, you will never be bored. Pricing really depends on a lot of factors like dates, amount of time, cabin type etc etc. There were people on there who paid £1000 from what I gathered talking to them.

Is it quick getting on & off at each port?

Depends where you are - if you are visiting small islands like the greek islands then often they have to tender you by boat from the ship to the dock - in those cases there is often a queue.
