  • Here's a full tour and review of our standard balcony cabin on P&O Arvia during our recent 1 week Caribbean cruise. As well as a complete cabin tour I'll be showing you laundry facilities, room service options and storage space. So, come and join me on this light hearted tour as we sail the Caribbean Sea from St Maarten to Antigua. Just how standard is standard?!

    Hi Jamie. Thanks for the vlog. I've booked a balcony cabin for my cruise in June of this year on Arvia, so this was really helpful. I'm a little nervous this time as it's the first time travelling solo, so I decided to treat myself. xx

    Hi Jamie, we travel to the Caribbean on Arvia on 3rd February for 2 weeks! We were on last February and loved it! We always have a balcony too. That morning cup of tea and G & T before dinner tastes even better sat on the balcony with that view ❤️❤️❤️Watching you has really put us in the mood now! X

    I do like these cabins. I have only been on Iona but have stayed in both cabins with bed by window and bed by wardrobe. I do prefer bed by balcony. Agree plenty of storage space even narrow but useful. TV very good with great features .
    As a solo traveller enjoy these standard cabins that work out cheaper than single balcony even with supplement.
    I always use an old hotel room card in slot rather than a loyalty card which could be taken and used to redeem points for goods. . A great tip I agree , to choose a cabin with only cabins above and below!
    Another fab review.

      I am a solo too, and I always pick a balcony as the solo cabins are inside and feel mean in terms of space,. I do love a balcony, even on winter cruises which are all I can afford, and I don't do high heat well. I do wish they would give a little more money back for solo travellers.

  • @Warriorbox

    I had a very similar cabin on Iona, on deck 12 aft too. Same configuration and there was plenty of space, not narrow at all. I think the balcony was a bit smaller but the cabin was the same. Very comfortable and well designed. Thanks for the memory Jamie and Maffoo

    Brilliant vlog Jamie. The cabin looks brilliant. I actually quite like the idea of the bed being next to the balcony as can see the sea from the bed when you wake up. Plus I know I'll be sleeping on the balcony side of the bed if Daniel is with me on the cruise so he doesn't disturb me during the night if he has to get up. I would definitely be spending time on the balcony and definitely would order room service for food if me and Daniel wanted to have lazy time and some evenings.

    My cabin on Deck 10 was exactly the same as yours but to the opposite hand. As a double for one it was more than adequate. One small point, there is only a power outlet on one side of the bed. I was on for the fortnight over Christmas and New Year, and really don’t know how I missed seeing you around the ship or on an excursion. I enjoy the cruise so much I have booked for next Christmas and New Year and the P&O site is already showing I’m on a TUI flight out of Gatwick.

      When we booked Maleth wasn’t in the equation. When we paid the final balance, Maleth become a thing. Nowhere is too far for me for a week. I did Hong King for 4 nights which was fab. Im doing Bali for a week. I did Barbados for 4 nights. It’s a small world and i’m not put off by distance - I actually like flying.
