Creator's Key Takeaways

we both slept incredibly well the beds are really really comfy so uh well done piano

we were going to opt for the drinks package yes and because we had worked out what we spent yesterday when we were on board and we definitely spent um enough to make the drinks package worthwhile

the poor well the barman just couldn't stand behind the bark it was getting absolutely soaked towards me so um yeah definitely a design issue there I think

it was a really nice sort of Christmasy event on Christmas Eve wasn't it

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Consider the drinks package if you plan to drink enough to make it worthwhile
โœ“Use the virtual queue on the app for dining to avoid long lines
โœ“Book entertainment shows in advance as they require pre-booking

Day 2 was Christmas Eve onboard Arvia and we experienced a huge selection of activities and events to mark the occasion. We dined in the 6th Street Diner for Breakfast and experienced an American spectacular. Father Christmas came to visit with his elves and also some special guests made a surprise appearance. We get our allocated Christmas Day and New Years Eve dinner reservations and some passengers were not very happy. We also consider the P&O Ultimate Drinks Package and share with you are reasoning.

We were onboard for 14 nights. The cruise visited a number of ports in Portugal and Spain over Christmas and New Years. This is the first time we have experienced a Christmas and New Year cruise, and also, this was our first P&O cruise. Our aim is to give you a fair and balanced insight of this maiden voyage looking at the positives, as well as, the negatives that we faced during our time onboard. We are Tom and Dom and we experienced our first cruise on the MSC Virtuosa during her UK staycation cruises in 2021. We are relatively new to cruising, however we can now say we are officially hooked. Our mission is provide a fair and balanced review of our travels. We look at the types of food that is available onboard, from main dining rooms, room service, buffets and pool side snacks. We include menus for each of cruises so that we can share the selection of drinks and meals that are available. Entertainment onboard a cruise ship is important to us and we enjoy theatre production shows, live music, quizzes and game shows. We love to explore different ports and destinations and enjoy sharing tips and tricks so that you can make the most of each port. We often explore ports independently but also book excursions that are interesting to us. We have created a list of our cruise essentials. These are items we take with us when we travel and we hope they may be useful to you. We have also added a Wine list which contains some of the wines we have tried whilst cruising. Check out our Amazon Store to find out more - https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/tomanddomtravel So far we have been on the following cruise ships, in order: MSC Virtuosa, Marella Explorer, Marella Explorer 2, Queen Mary 2, Sky Princess, Enchanted Princess, MSC Preziosa and P&O Arvia!
