Creator's Key Takeaways
The weather was a bit dodgy, but the weather's nice now. It's a sports bar. The lads are playing pool over there and we're having margaritas.
It felt different from other cruise ships. And it's not Iona. It's not on any of the other PO ships. So, we really enjoyed it.
If you choose not to get off the ship and you want to find a sunbed, you're going to have no problem whatsoever to get a sunbed.

🌴 Caribbean Cruise Vlog | Saint Maarten on P&O Arvia 🌴 We wake up aboard P&O Arvia as our two-week Caribbean cruise adventure continues and today we’re exploring a very rainy Saint Maarten. We’re sailing around the Caribbean with P&O Cruises, and in this vlog we arrive with no excursions booked and unpredictable weather. With the rain pouring down, we jump in a water taxi and head over to Philipsburg Beach, hoping for brighter skies. While waiting for the weather to clear, we find a cool beachfront sports bar, enjoy a couple of margaritas, play some pool, and soak up the incredible sea views. Thankfully, Saint Maarten doesn’t disappoint, the clouds lift, the sun comes out, and it’s time for a bucket list moment. Next stop: Maho Beach ✈️ We grab a fabulous lunch right on the beach before watching the world-famous low-flying planes land just feet above our heads. For David, this was one of the absolute highlights of the entire Caribbean cruise. After an amazing day ashore, we head back on board P&O Arvia and finish the night with a fabulous meal in the diner which turned out to be such a pleasant surprise and the perfect end to the day.
