Awesome video how we enjoyed this one. The ship seems really nice and glad you had a good time. Looking forward to Crete. Thank you for sharing. Mark & Melissa 🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it. We've been to Crete a few times but this was the first time by cruise ship. Crete is a popular summer destination for us Brits. We really enjoyed the ship and would book a cruise on it again. By the way, we will be heading to the USA in October, we're doing a transatlantic.
love the thumbnail! Don't, repeat DON'T attempt to self-drive in Napes - they are quite mad! Pompeii is a fantastic day-out. Have you seen the TV series Gomorrah ? about Naples gangster family? it's brilliant. Oh, it's 10 years since we first 'did' Italy on a tour - the first thinkg we did on our return, was to buy a delonghi coffee machine, because we'd been 'spoiled' by Italian coffee! Your cruise ship looks lovely.
No I haven't seen theTV series but I did watch the 2008 Italian Film (very grim). Yes Pompeii is definitely worth a visit. The cruise ship was very nice.
Great video as always 👍. Would it be ok to pick your brains? I was booked on Sun in June, but have cancelled due to an unexpected health issue and am unable to fly. I’ve been playing around with the idea of Arvia from Southampton around the Mediterranean. I’ve done Sky and Regal on Princess, and love the Princess ships. I have done 1 P&O on Azura and wasn’t a fan (possibly because it’s an older ship) As you’ve done both Arvia and Sun would be grateful for your opinion. Tia 🥰
We loved Arvia on our transatlantic cruise, there was plenty to do and a choice of included restaurants. However, the quality of food and service on the Sun Princess was far better.
@@lorrainej4555we really love Arvia though and liked the included restaurants 6th st Diner and the Mediterranean restaurant. Food is better on Sun Princess though but Arvia has been our favourite ship so far
@@Mel_FlyDriveExplore that sounds promising! I found the crew on Princess very welcoming and friendly on Azura not so much. How did you find it on Sun v Arvia ? Ty for the replies 👍
@@lorrainej4555I think the staff on Sun Princess are probably more cheerful but the staff on Arvia are good too. Maybe main dining room staff are better on Sun Princess. I’m sure you will have a good time on both
The food is good and there's plenty of places to get it. The drinks would be the issue, these can be quite expensive. There is included iced tea, lemonade coffee and tea in the buffet during meal times but everywhere else you would have to pay.
Marcus please let the girl speak. It must be difficult when you have been telling school kids to be quiet all your working life,but she needs to be heard.
I would love to travel with you two very entertaining
Thanks 👍
Blank anniversary card, love Mel, hahaha. Happy belated anniversary.

Hi guys, I’m loving the cruise videos, but I have to ask if we will be expecting a plane vid anytime soon?
We have been on a few flights but they've been so bad we didn't put them out, we didn't want to make more negative content.

What size room did you have?
Accessible Mini Suite (404 sq ft) ua-cam.com/video/1poP4Nh9S2g/v-deo.html
How does the included food compare to arvia??
The included food was very good. Although the choice of included dining venues weren't as good as Arvia.
The drinks were quite expensive.
Do you think its possible to spend no mone on board or very little? What drinks are included?

We didn't get to go to POMPEI
Where did you go in Naples?

#LetMelTalk Don't worry, off camera she has plenty to say.
@@flydriveexplore we may never know.
Can you settle a bet? Do you guys put Pineapples on your room doors?
🤣🤣 We did, but had no interest!
Well we did have interest but I didn’t tell Marcus 😂
@@flydriveexploreinterest!
Do you think its possible to spend no money on board orspend very little?
I had to Google pineapple on cruise ships ummmm
You lost $1,000 on the slots? Playing the penny machines??
It was the group as a whole (including the winnings being put back in) - playing $5 a spin
No we only put in 20 dollars each to the slot pull. The group as a whole put in $1000
