Creator's Key Takeaways

this has been a cruise in the making really has been folks years actually I've been trying to convince my mum to come on a ship with us

I'm blaming management for this one you know don't put this many people on a ship if you don't have enough crew

the food we've had on board so far in every restaurant has been really good

drinks menus were very limited on board Ventura

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get off the ship later in the day to avoid long queues at ports
Use the virtual queue for dining but be prepared for long waits
Order room service for balcony dining when weather is windy

YouTube Video Description

This is the BIG one! Grab a drink, some nibbles, sit back and relax! My longest vlog ever; well, there’s a whole 1 hour Iberian cruise onboard P&O Ventura to cram into 1h12 minutes! It’s autumn, it’s my mum and sister’s 1st ever cruise, it’s our 10 year wedding anniversary, it’s my sister’s birthday! This is a day by day vlog starting with embarkation, first impressions, a quick peep at a balcony cabin and a superior deluxe cabin, every single meal on board (buffet, main dining rooms, grills, Sindhu, Epicurean - yes, a food heavy vlog and no apologies for this - we loooove food experiences when we travel), our days in Cherbourg, Oporto, Lisbon, Vigo, the bars and lounges on board, lots of lovely passengers who came to say hello (thank you!), all the great stuff and some of the very bad, unfortunately.
