Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a two-week cruise instead of one week to fully experience the ship
Try the Skywalker activity for a challenging and fun experience
Use the My Holiday app to reserve dining times, but also talk to staff directly if the app fails
Bring a liter of gin and a case of tonic water to save on drinks costs

We are bananas about cruising! We started cruising in 2014 by doing a mini cruise on P&O Aurora. Making videos of our cruises and sharing our experiences has become our hobby – the complete video is filmed and edited on an iPhone. The videos are our opinions and experiences while on board - really they are us having fun and brining you along with us! We may not be the youngest cruisers but we are trying to break the stereotype that cruising is for retired people. On a cruise you will normally find us wondering around the ship taking in the atmosphere (and working our way through the cocktails). We have sailed on P&O Cruises, Cunard Line, Princess Cruises, MSC Cruises, Royal Caribbean and Avalon Waterways. We'd love to try Ambassador Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Fred Olsen, Holland America (HAL), Celebrity, Disney Cruises, Carnival Cruises, Costa, Aida, Marella and Celestyal. #cruisemonkeys #cruise #live #livestream #pandocruises #HelloArvia #pandoarvia #arvia #iona #pandoiona
