You guys should invest in wireless microphones to cut out the background noise. There are plenty of options

Are you going to review Sun Princess? We are going on two Jul 24

Ben is exactly right, in the area I grew up we had a saying "You get what you pay for" Sordid folks think nothing of it, mentally of I paid for this and I will get all I can. Selfness and greed....😢

Thanks for the 10 percent going to give it my best shot! Thanks

Hey guys, you should go on the P&O Australia one I would like to know your honest opinion on that cruise line myself. I’ve been on it three times it’s not bad

Those people are dangerous to society, not just these two men.

I say talking about this sort of thing just feeds the fire. Ignore the Ignorant

beig quiet enables abusers. they think people agree with them@@user-ki3wh1ml2e

no one was being homophobic your just looking for a fight stfu and watch the video

The Brits at their best.... scum, think how these folks raise their kids... Totally agree with Ben&David its down to the cheap prices, same has happened with airlines and Center Parcs in UK, been going with family since they opened in 1987, and in last 10 years, boy, has the crowd changed... Us Brits - well some of us, seem to revel in being 'Karens', and care a toss for surrounding travellers - no filter, no manners, no education. The same folk who attack the ambulance and fire fighters we see in the news and on tv - scum. Raising their offspring to do the same.

I agree. They are the least of us, thankfully. Simpletons. Ignoramuses. To be overlooked and ignored. They get nothing.

Well said!

Regardless of the cost if people are so inconsiderate to verbally abuse others then they have no life. Thank you for your video and time.

I'm sorry that you've dealt with racism. It's one thing that is so unnecessary and pointless. I think Blacks are some of the most beautiful people on Earth, inside and out. As a 66 yr old White lady, I too, have felt the scourge of racism. I've experienced Black women being rude to me for no obvious reason other than I'm White. It makes me feel sorry for them, though. Harboring ill feelings against those you don't even know is not good for anyones heart and soul, and it shows very quickly as to what kind of human being you really are. Be of good cheer, at least until someone gives you reason reason not to. Then, simply ignore them and move on. Class dismissed. There will be a test 🤗 ❤

Yes, they're narcissists. Energy vampires.They're so miserable that it gives them joy to bring down other people. I know to ignore them now.

As an American it truly looks boring throughout! My next British cruise, will be Cunard, a class act through & through!

I ran across them recovering from knee surgery! What a great find. Wishing you wellness!

I hope you are doing well. Am hoping for your full recovery.

I sailed on this ship In July and it was beautiful we didn’t encounter anyone behaving that way 😊

Same. I had an idea that P&O might be a Cunard-ish experience…a little more formal, maybe a break from the relentlessness of Americans. But no. This doesn’t sound like a break from anything.

@Bubby - you’re replying to an American here so watch your words. That was rude. You should fit in on P&O then.

@@leahhughes4335 why is it rude

I’m sorry. I did not mean to be rude. I meant that I feel overwhelmed by the cultural dominance when a ship is overwhelmingly American.

@@lxp I go on vacation to go on vacation. I don't go on vacation to photograph, video, create content for a commercial enterprise or be part of others that do those things. I appreciate that it is a hard thing for staff to control but, if it isn't, I fear some people will take matters into their own hands.

Thank you for those kind words.@@lxp

Who's to say who can film and who can't? What about people who're filming every thing they're seeing & doing aboard the ship on their phone? You can't say it's fine for some people but not others. The price of admission for being in public is you can't control which image of yours someone might capture when you're in public.

@@isabellind1292 First of all, a business-owned cruise ship is not a public space. Just like a restaurant or cinema isn't. They are private spaces often owned by businesses and the owners and their staff can decide to ban certain behavior if others complain about it. Second, different countries have different rules and laws. In many parts of the EU, it is forbidden to film other people without their consent (and also post it online of course), even in public spaces. The moment you can be identified and that person did not ask for consent to film and post it, you can be sued. Privacy is a big factor for many because they are sick of being filmed all the time. And the same argument could be put in reverse. Who gives you a right to film others without their consent? Being in public doesn't mean you are free to do as you please either. Everyone has a right to be there and not be bothered by others. It's why I appreciate it when vloggers are respectful, even if the place allows filming. That means not to put the focus on any stranger and maybe cut out footage that is obviously unflattering for a stranger. I would really recommend to read up on rules and laws before going anywhere. If you ever visit an EU country, you might quickly get into trouble if someone catches you recording them. Same with spaces that are not public but have rules against filming and recording other people. It also should be a no-brainer that private videos are not nearly as bad as posting something online. There is a huge difference if a small family sees the footage vs 400k people. I wouldn't want either but it still makes a difference. The internet never forgets and some things might get that person in trouble as well. Once again, a cruise ship isn't a public space. Meaning if many people report you, the crew can decide on behalf of the owner to ban you from doing so.

@@Merilly Who said anything about filming anyone w/o their consent? Who goes around filming who has to ask everyone who may be in the shot, permission? That's just ridiculous. Please cite me anywhere it says people are not permitted to film anything they like on a cruise ship. Thank you.

Wasn’t that an amazing video. I never was interested in taking a cruise until I saw this cruise. I

I was telling my brother about that river cruise. He has always wanted to go on a cruise, but his wife does not. Since he saw that river cruise, they are talking about going on one. I'm not sure if I ever remember seeing one. Hope they go. Kathleen

Great suggestion!

I just red your comment and I would like to reach out and let you know that I appreciate all gay people you make life more fun and interesting. And I would prefer to travel with gay people all are friendly intelligent and hygienic. I don’t mean to stereotype or be offensive. Don’t be afraid to travel hold your head up high because I would rather share my hoilday with any gay person rather then some smelly filthy Falmouth alcoholic belligerent drunk. Enjoy your first cruise I have never cruised before would love to in the near future sending you love and lots of good wishes when you eventually decide to take a cruise.❤😊

If I were you looking at Princess Cruise Line is a good and much better choice. They do various transatlantics. They have meetings and the cosmopolitan mix of passenger tends to work much better. Roughly 360 ports visited world wide.

Hahaha yeah princess is good for them. Cuz they’re gay

I was on this ship last November. I thought I was in Spain. I thought all the towels were having a wonderful time on the sunbeds on their own morning to night. The affinity pools I couldn't get near? Most hot tubs either. I'm disabled and need to sit after a few hundred yards, this I couldn't do? I'm also a solo traveller and went to join a group. I turned up and a lady was going around asking passengers if they were solo, everyone said no, but I put my hand up and said yes, me. She looked at me and walked off. It can be hard enough as a solo traveller as people look at you like you have horns, but to get blanked was upsetting. I didn't bother after that? I've travelled across the world on my own and loved every minute, but this cruise made me feel like the odd one out. I can't blame the crew, they were marvellous. It was like a package holiday only sailing? Never again.

Really glad you enjoyed it as after watching this video my excitement for my upcoming cruise has turned to dread 😢

@@djplays9147 we have booked this same transatlantic cruise for October 2025. It was great. We loved it that much

@@safarieten Thank you for proving my point.

Good-that’s what they should do!

I've got 3 cruises booked on Arvia and not worried at all ..I've been on smaller ships where I've seen fighting in the champagne bar, people taken off for stealing and others for getting up to things in the hot tub.. currently watching two other vloggers on the same cruise and not one mention of bad behaviour or horrible passengers...I don't condone what happened to Ben and Dave it's horrible but it doesn't just happen on big ships

What ever price the cruise is people can still go on and get drunk,it sounds like your saying as the cruise price dropped it ment people with less money are going on just cos they have less money don’t mean your going to drink and be a nightmare

@@sarahbailey6996 Although I didn't understand what you attempted to state, I still thank you for your reply.

Totally agree. The lower fairs allow people who otherwise wouldn't on the ship and they flat our decide to ruin cruises for others. Same thing with flights

Agreed. It’s why I avoid Carnival.

​@@mindyschocolatethe worst cruise we were on for bad behavior was an older Carnival ship. It was quite affordable and full of drunks and kids running the halls at 2AM.

Whatever you do don’t suggest that as they probably will

I’d say try the mid size P&O ships… they’re a lot more fun, more established and still very good value

As someone else commented it’s often about itinerary. Arvia is a ‘sunshine’ ship and it will always attract an element of drunken loutish behaviour as a result. Its equally beautiful sister ship, Iona, sails to the Norwegian Fjords and Baltic Scandinavian areas and attracts a very different demographic (also the bonus is those destinations are stunning and in summers there are light till very late). For a great value cruise I highly recommend it.

Also if you want to try the Mediterranean consider opting for Cunard. The Queen Victoria is based there all summer and I’ve seen 7 night cruises out of Italy starting at about £800 for a week. I recently was on this ship and the clientele were on the whole mature and relaxed and the ship itself is truly beautiful.

Thanks for sharing your review!

I sailed on the orginal mardi gras it was a classy trip. On a very small ship.

@@user-ki3wh1ml2e Very cool. The new Mardi Gras is definitely not small and it was beautiful!

I am aware of the size of the new one, after selling on previous cruises on carnival I never would go again. They have become trashy

@@user-ki3wh1ml2e ooh la di dah to you

Yep, you’re not wrong here. There is a lot of “I’m alright jack” behaviour now and it’s not good.
