      You could get there by coach which would be cheaper, the train is much more expensive.

    Oh how my wife and I been dreaming of taking a cruise!
    We're hoping to save up for one next summer. God Willing.
    Not sure if we've ever used UK outlets but wait, No USB plugs?!?Wow!
    Definitely a decent sized cabin.
    Doesn't look too outdated to us, but then again, we haven't been on a cruise since 2015..lolol
    The balcony looks very nice. Cozy and private.
    Definitely would be a wonderful breakfast out there on the balcony.
    This looks like a Wonderful Ship!
    The room tour was Excellent as usual, My Friend!
    Awesome Thanks for Showing it all to us!
    We Seriously Appreciate you, Buddy!
    Still no luck with answers from YT, so we hope you see our comment! Lol
    Hope you're doing well!!!

      @@DADDIO1969 Not many UK cruise lines have US sockets and obviously US/European cruise lines don’t have ours.
      This is why I always recommend taking some adapters so that all the outlets can be used.
      I hope that you can get a cruise in next year, it’s definitely a great way to see the world 👍

    Lovely room tour! Looks like a similar layout to when we had a balcony cabin on Harmony of the Seas, just a bit more dated. No usbs! Awe! Odd that they chose the color schemes they did, it even seems dated for the time period that Anthem came out 😂 they stopped giving out the horizon/cruise compass on our last cruise in Feb. we had to use app only going forward. I missed laying in bed and taking a peek at it lol. Great tour as always! 😊

    Great stuff Steve. Thanks for posting. Ventura is of its time but does the job. Those TV’s needed to be changed though in last refit, you need binoculars to watch it, P&O interactive tv are great and lots of people spend time in cabin so a bit oversight (cost cutting), also shower doors would of been nice. 💯 agree on wardrobe area, love it!

      @@cruisingwiththe4bs With a couple of modifications such as new interactive TV’s and USB sockets by the bed I think that this cabin would be much improved.
      Not sure what they can do with the decor though and the bathrooms are likely to be too costly to fix.

    We had a balcony cabin twice on Ventura and both times we found it to be quite noisy from the neighbours all around. you have to put up with 3 above 3 below and 2 either side, they may not be out on the balcony at the same time but you can hear them talking and laughing watching TV or listening to music. Regardless of if you have your balcony door open or not. I tend to prefer inside cabins because of this they seem to be much quieter, and darker at night when sleeping.

    • @ALifeintheParks
      @ALifeintheParks  Місяць тому +1

      I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had noise from other cabins, it’s not something I experienced.
      I do think that this is one of the best reasons for booking an inside cabin as there’s less chance of noise transfer.

    Glad you said that the size of the TV didn't matter. Can't understand why people want a 48in TV on a cruise, as if they spend all day in the cabin watching TV! Last went on Ventura in 2018 and loved her, prefer her to her sister ship Azura.

    • @ALifeintheParks

      I don’t even watch much TV at home let alone on holiday.
      I’m just off Celebrity Apex this morning and the cabin TV was huge but apart from having the news on while we got ready in the morning it was just in the way.
      I agree with that, the crew on Ventura were far better than other P&O ships I’ve been on.

    The cabin is a nice size - even if the tv isn't. The decor is dated. Maybe they could just make going back in time the theme of the cruiseand pretend the decor is part of the time travel theme. Looks like a nice place for a vacation at sea. Thanks for sharing your review!
