YouTube Video Description↓

On Day 5 of our P&O Azura cruise we visited the port of Santa Cruz de La Palma. This was our first time visiting the port and we went ashore independently and were really impressed. We spent some time on the pool deck enjoying the daily activities and events provided by the onboard entertainment teams. We go through our daily drinks spend and discuss why the drinks package is worthwhile for us. During the evening we dined once again in the Meridian Restaurant and talk you through the advantages of using the onboard Virtual Queue. We are treated to a spectacular show in The Playhouse and end the evening with Jack Ryan the onboard comedian in the Manhattan. P&O Azura INSIDE CABIN TOUR - https://youtu.be/6g7jlF4_oos P&O Azura COMPLETE SHIP TOUR - https://youtu.be/v-H6yR1kPIs P&O Azura was launched in April 2010 and is a part of the "Grand-class" of ships in P&O Cruises' fleet. It has a passenger capacity of around 3,100 guests, and it offers a variety of cabin types, including inside cabins, outside cabins, balconies, and suites. The ship's design emphasises a relaxed and modern cruising experience, catering to a range of travellers, from families to couples. 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, P&O Arvia, Ambassador Ambience and P&O Azura!
