Thanks for episode 1 of the Azura series guys 😃 really looking forward to this one as we are booked on the Azura next July, flying to Malta. It's our 1st P&O cruise and we're really excited. Just finished binge watching your Arvia series. Looked fab but I think the smaller ships are best suited to us. Really appreciate the great content as usual. 🤗🤗 xx

Hey Guys, I was wondering how Azura was ageing. In 2014 she was already 10 years old I think and there were a few bumps and chips here and there. The only thing we were disappointed with was the shower curtains which stuck to you the moment you turned the shower on. That said, we had a wonderful cruise and we loved the party feel of her and her amazing crew. Pre-covid the cheese board was lovely and you could ask for the Stilton which the staff got 'out the back' and brought to the table. Not sure I'm patient enough to fly cruise, as Southampton is just 10 minutes away by taxi with no faff or worries about baggage. Sailaways still haven't returned to pre-pandemic (at least on Iona 2022) Cheers!

Thanks for watching! Azura isn’t doing to bad at all given her age. Yes she does feel I bit dated compared to ships like Arvia but that isn’t necessarily bad just different. We totally get the taxi convenience as we used to live in Netley.

Great video guys. I think we probably disembarked the ship the day you got on as the carnival had just started on our last night (Fri 17/2)! The weather was a little mixed for us, we had a couple of rocky nights towards the end which was interesting (there's a couple of windy late night walk around videos on our channel if you fancy a look), but the couple of rainy periods made for some cracking rainbow pics for our IG 😉 Look forward to the next video 🛳

We have been on Azura couple of times and we like the ship I don't think last time we went on it the Glass House was on it must have been added since we last cruised. Well surprise surprise finished the day at the late night buffet I wish we could stay as slim as you two. We are off on Queen Victoria on Friday to Amsterdam for four nights, we have not been on since 2007 when it was new so interested to see what changes they have made since then will ley you know on the group page how it goes.

Its been frustrating for our upcoming cruise that we havent been able to pre book the entertainment, while others have said a lot gets booked up by people who arrive the day before. I dislike the limbo they leave us in as I like planning at least some things other than just extra meals.

Any thoughts on what we should do- Have been on Azura in the Caribbean, and like the ship ( Ventura too which is the same except for having the pool retractable roof ). Not keen on Britannia !!! no full Prom Deck.

Ha... So to be clear, you had 2 large cases, 2 carry-on bags, and backpacks? P&O/Jet 2 seems to have a generous luggage policy 😉. When you say 'luggage included' does that mean you did not pay for your checked bags on the plane? Looks like the weather was on your side on embarkation day - always exciting.
@TomandDomTravel
Жыл бұрын
We just can’t travel light. We have tried. 🤣 Jet 2 are very generous but the flight is a charter so everyone on it is heading to the ship so no need to pay extra for checked luggage. Weather was great compared to what it had been the week before. How are you with luggage?

@@TomandDomTravel I have one dedicated checked bag specifically for extended international travel. I use a public transportation-friendly 70/30 split rolling trunk so my tuxedo/accessories are separated from my other items. I bring a small 21l backpack/tote as a carry-on/daypack with basic toiletries/electronics. Everything is double tagged to ensure I can track it en-route. The T&D Travel online school is a great resource. 😉

We didn’t do retreat on this ship. It all depends how busy the ship is. Usually quieter on port days. Our advice would be go and ask to have a look around on Embarkation day and see if you think it’s of value to you.
