YouTube Video Description

In the first VLOG of our Arvia series we experience our first P&O embarkation from Ocean Cruise Terminal in Southampton. We look at some of the beautiful venues onboard and explore this impressive ship. In the evening we dine in the Zenith main dining room and enjoy some of the many entertainment activities that took place onboard.

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.
