Thank you for your truthful and unbiased blogs! We have done legs of world cruise pre covid and now booked on whole cruise next year .I have enjoyed your series of advising trips and now next year they are following the South Africa like this year l am looking forwards to the new itineraries. Good luck in all you do now and enjoy it all! 7:04
Really informative! Have been following brogan tates part world cruise on arcadia so will go watch more of your videos. We're hoping to do NZ,Oz and Singapore (possibly dubai) section in the future so loving seeing what different experiences people had on arcadia
Hi John and Helen thank you for another great vlog, we have followed you from the fireworks on departure day to today. Our plan hopefully is to do a world cruise and this Q and A has answered many questions. Looking forward to more vlogs of your travels 😁😁
What a trip!! One day we'll do his !!!🤣
We took 3.5 months off work, going back was a killer 🤪
Have a great time you will love Cunard, which ship are you going on ? Carry on cruising
We are going on Queen Victoria, keen to try them and see what we think.
I have enjoyed your world cruise vlogs, it looks like you had a great adventure and time😊. I also see you had a guest appearance on another vloggers videos. I believe it was you walking behind Brogan Tate and her husband when you had to got off the ship to go through immigration at Durban ?
Do you have any other cruises booked for 2025? Carry on cruising cheers Neil 😁
Hi Neil, thanks so much for you comments, they mean a lot. We are trying a Cunard cruise later this year and already have Hawaii to Vancouver booked for 2025 then a P&O repositioning cruise from Barbados to Southampton in 2026. In the next few weeks we’ll be looking back at past cruises and making some suggestions
Great info. We are from Aus and considering doing to 2nd half of the 2026 world cruise. We did the 2nd half back in 2014 but tis time it is going the opposite direction. With regard to traditional dining what do you consider the be the advantage/disadvantage between the early and late sittings?
We preferred the early sitting so we could watch the 8.30 pm show and sometimes do a quiz after. We prefer to early so it has plenty of time to digest before we head to bed. We started in flexible dining but found we were often sat at the aft range of tables and the engine noise could make it difficult to have a conversation. We were happy to share a table, but some people got there 45 minutes early so they could get a table for 2 and avoid having to wait with a buzzer. Fixed allowed us to be guaranteed eating when we preferred, with the same dining room team who then knew what we liked to drink etc. After the meal. Hope this helps
Thanks for all your fabulous answers and all the tips 👍 I am booked on the full cruise in 2026 and glad to hear you think Deck 6 is a good one 🥰 My question is, there was mention of some people getting sick, either with flu like symptoms and a nasty cough or norovirus, did you guys have any sick days at all and would you say there was a lot of it onboard? Thanks again
Hi Claire, it wasn’t actually a norovirus but ecoli bug one of the nurses told Helen, picked up from contaminated food taken onboard in Cape Town (hence the volume of people that did gel ill). Helen was unfortunate enough to catch it and it lasted 3 days (there was no sickness). There was a cough onboard from day 1! People referred to it as cabin cough, Helen said that this likely continued as we had new people coming onboard in the different segments and they brought a new one onboard. I hope this answers your questions. If you have any more please ask, and thank k you for your continued support.
@@TheOversAreOut many thanks for clarifying x So glad it didn’t affect your trip and I’m very excited about mine 😀 Thanks again
Myself and my partner are doing this cruise in January 2025. Roughly how many celebration nights are there that you have to wear black tie for?
Hi, there were just over 14, roughly 1 per week sometimes 2. Black tie wasn’t essential and I didn’t on some of the nights to be honest. The thing to be aware of is that you have to have smart casual (no shorts or collarless tops for men) to go in most venues on those nights.
@@TheOversAreOut thank you so much! Looked like you both had a great time 😊
Hi you two. I was on this cruise too as a solo traveller 😊
I agree that it was a fantastic cruise and I feel very privileged to have experienced it.
P&O tenders do leave a lot to be desired…
My favourite place was New Zealand.
Most memorable was Bitung.
Cape Town was the surprising gem in the new itinerary! Stunning place.
No need to be bored. Loads to do on board.
I’m now booked on the Grand Tour 2026 😊
Thank you so much for your kind comments
