For the laundrette don't take pods. Take washer sheets. No risk of leakage and pack flat

Great video I was looking at parking at west quay so phoned them yesterday and they said it’s for shoppers only and not to park overnight maybe this is to deter long stay
@CruiseWithAmber
@CruiseWithAmber 15 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching. The Moxy and premier Inn suggest west quay as an alternative overnight parking on their websites. There are also two west quay car parks - one is the multi-storey and the other is the smaller podium car park. The one mentioned in this video is the multi-storey which is open 24 hours. The podium car park is not open 24 hours

Yes, absolutely - it's one of the perks and you don't have to pay for the delivery charge either if you are in a suite - speak with your butler when you embark and organise the best day for your to have a leisurely breakfast in your suite (we chose Lisbon to have it served on our balcony on our cruise because of the iconic sail in.

one would think that the Aft Suites or Seriously Suite could have more seating than one chair and one make up hassock...oh and a bed or outside. couldn't they squeeze in 2 comfortable chairs? instead of 1 crappy wicker chair? At least once you get to the Cheeky Corner Suites there is a tiny corner sofa. What happened to comfortable seating and what do the poor commoners do in the regular rooms? sit on the bed right?

I would definitely NOT recommend joining the Facebook groups!! I've been really looking forward to our cruise next week and I was a member of these groups recommended in this video. Recently there have been quite a few people reporting some really worrying information on these groups about recent cruises on Arvia and I'm no longer excited about our cruise anymore. I'm really concerned about it so I've left the Facebook groups to avoid reading anymore negative information. It's put a downer on our holiday before it's even started so I wouldn't advise joining these groups at all!! I really wish I hadn't now.
@CruiseWithAmber
@CruiseWithAmber Ай бұрын
Oh that's so disappointing to hear. Arvia is a wonderful ship and i'm sure you will have an amazing holiday. Let's put it this way- we were on the Maiden Voyage and you could swear from the media reports and facebook posts that it was the end of the world. We had an amazing time as a family. Facebook groups are only as good as the admin and as the groups grow larger, they become more difficult to admin and keep the moaning negative comments at bay. I always create content to get people excited about their cruise, so i hope some of my videos on Arvia help you to get the excitement back. And I hope some of the tips help you to get the most out of your cruise.

My wife and I visited the UK from Australia in October 2023 for a cruise to Norway and back. We arrived at Heathrow in the afternoon and boarded a National Express bus to Southampton. We stayed 2 nights at the Pig in the Wall which is close to the cruise terminal. The owners of the hotel were friendly and welcoming and the accommodation was quaint and characterful. We had a lovely time in Southampton, visiting the Titanic museum, the West Quay shopping centre and had a beautiful meal in the Duke of Wellington pub, which blew my mind with its history and age. We certainly don't get that kind of thing in Australia. We also did a day trip to Winchester and Salisbury visiting both cathedrals. We boarded the P&O Acadia at the Ocean Cruise Terminal. We were going to walk from the hotel to the terminal, but with 50kg of luggage in 5 bags, we decided to get an Uber instead. The terminal was easy to navigate and the staff were friendly and helpful.
