Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the my holiday webpage to join virtual queues and book restaurants in advance
If it's a windy day, don't give up hope—wander the open decks to find a sheltered spot
For Marseille, turn left when you get off the ship and walk for about five minutes to catch a free shuttle into the city center

Well you asked me to hurry up and release part 2 of our 2 week Mediterranean cruise experience on P&O Arvia, so I’ve worked on this through the weekend to get it ready for you early! Ask and ye shall receive! In part 2 of this vlog we see in week 2 in the Mediterranean, visit Marseilles, Barcelona & Cádiz independently and have 3 days at sea! There are restaurant recommendations galore onboard / ashore, bars, shows, pop up acts, aerialists, room service and formal night dilemmas, swim up bar heaven, general mischief, disembarkation Info and packing tios, and my reviews of all facilities onboard and our overall experience. Did we queue until eternity? Will we sail P&O Arvia again? It’s all here wrapped up in sunny spring skies, Mediterranean blues and cruise addict life!
