It's finally time to embark the ship for our first ever cruise! We start our cruise on the Ventura with P&O Cruises from Southampton Cruise Terminal, show you around our accessible balcony cabin and get settled in to life at sea with our first night aboard! With me history of sea sickness and travel sickness, will I make it through sail away without being ill?

watching ur vlogs makes me feel like i'm putting a warm blanket on
Worked on P& O cruise liners in the 80s, best years of my life, worked on Canberra meddy cruising 3 world cruises, done the fjords a few times, then went to Aussie to work on Oriana cruising around the Islands such as Fiji and New Zealand and many more. Wish I could go back to that time.
Travel sickness comes from the movement not in tandem with what you see (no pun intended). If you feel sick get outside and watch the movement of the boat in the water and that should help!
Looking from your balcony onto the White Star berth that the Titanic left from.
I've been on the P&O Ventura this last week, was infinitely more fun and exciting than I thought it would be! It's great to have so many things to do, eat and drink and be entertained on a large moving object that takes you to city to city every morning!
your like a couple of teenagers again 🤣. what a fun holiday... on an aside.. without glasses you can see how pretty Anna's eyes are... have a wonderful trip.
That was hilarious and an eye opener. Hope you continued to enjoy the experience, it doesn't feel very luxury more a Warners on sea perhaps? But the buffet looks to have kept you happy. I know that feeling when you are awake at a different hour to normal, very naughty and exciting, Midnight feasts etc!
As someone that used to work for a cruise line and been on quite a few as a paseenger. Welcome to the cruise life you have the cruising itch now hopefully. :D. May this be the start of many more cruises to come.
Honestly I’ve never thought about going on a cruise but this is making me want to go thanks Kev
When we were on Ventura, my sister and I tried the jacuzzi (loved it!) and the sauna and steam room, but I found the pool I tried to be far too chilly!
I love cruising and have been on Ventura, Glad to see your having a great start to it.
The reason for fewer plugs in the cabin was due to the ships' age. She was laid down in 2006, launched in 2007 and christened in 2008. While she has had refits. Refitting the cabins in trickier with the way ships are made. The cabins are put into the ship ready made. Slipped in like boxes. Think tetris.
However she holds up well for her age😊
Me and my sister were on Ventura, in a cabin with an obstructed view (but that didn't really bother me) but I could tell from the seamless build of the bathroom that the whole thing looked like one massive single piece of plastic!
Well done Kev. Enjoyable as always
If you did like this cruise you definitely need to do a cruise to the Norwegian fjords next honestly you will love it. One of the best ways to see norway and not much longer than this cruise you were on
Brilliant video Kevin. Always wanted to do a cruise. Looks great
Great vlog! Enjoy your cruise!
Amazing video as usual, I really enjoy seeing both you and Anna having a good time because you both definitely deserve it. Also .. new Lego giraffe 😮 😮
Have you looked at getting portable chapters machines? We took one on a recent Mediterranean cruise and it was fantastic. Powered by an oversized powerbank. Also great on long distance planes.
Have just found your channel - hello from your newest subscriber! I last cruised on Ventura in Europe, so it's great to see her in colder climes!
The cruise looks fantastic break I might have to try a short cruise ourselves as we have never been on one. Love your videos from Emma and Grier in Adelaide Australia.
Went on our first cruise last year in the Mediterranean and totally loved every minute, was amazed at how much there is on the ships and things to do
Looks like you are having a great time 😁
Pre COVID, we had to actually go outside for the muster station drill. It was chaotic, actually had to wear the lifejackets.
Thank you so much for sharing...love watching your video's!
Thanks for this vlog, we are thinking of going on a cruise, as I have mobility issues like you, but I to get awfull sea sick, so I was watching waiting to see you say ohh I don’t feel so well, glad you was okay as we now know I will probably be okay.
Booked our second cruise on the Ventura we went on the Iona before. Welcome to cruising ☺️
I was on that cruise, great video ❤
Me and my family were u just flimed
So glad that cruises are becoming more accessible, especially the adapted shower/toilet room as well
Great video mate
I too get sea sick sometimes, yet I have found myself looking at short cruises to guernsey (3 days) to see how I'd react to it
This looks super fun. I think I'd dread going on a cruise like this because I'd end up putting on 5 stone.
Well there's the gym on the ship, plenty of walking to do and flights of stairs to climb. Plenty of ways to keep fit on a cruise too
Little tip for next time Kev. No need to use google maps at sea. They will have a live map on the TV
Hello guy, well, thanks for the vlog, I've wanted to do a cruise. However, the whole booking thing, with different packages, kind of confused me, so not yet bothered. Is it all fairly easy to understand, i.e., drinks, food, what you pay for and what isn't it deal?
Anyway, I'm watching 8 days after you posted, so you will be home now. I look forward to watching more. Thank you again both. Xx
Ex-Cranky Gamers here....I've been on about 40 cruises and I live in Southampton. Let me know when you fancy your next one.. Glad you enjoyed it :)
If you guys end up loving cruising, be sure to ask what deck is the best to help with sea sickness,…. I think it’s the lower decks that are better. Just an FYI for future.
Try a larger, newer ship such as royal Caribbean or Norwegian- they have a lot more choice etc for food and activities.
I'm sure you'll catch the bug. We are going on our 5th next month.
My fiance and I love P&O cruises we have been on 2 he proposed on the 2bd cruise
It looks lovely enjoy both ❤
It’s looks great and nice
We on there 10 of us I seen u both on it
🎉👍🏻
I couldn't go on a cruise. I got put off a few years ago when my mums friend went on one with her son and caught norovirus and they were ill for 3 days straight and missed most of their holiday. I hope you stay well, bad illness on cruises is a common thing 😣
grow up
@arc24CH Why because I don't want to go on cruise ships after hearing about bad experiences? I also don't like cruises in general. Old ocean liners were far more beautiful. I am watching because I like Kevs channel
Bad illness on cruises being common depends on the time of year tbh, ive been on 8 i think all during summer and avoided illness all the time, id imagine during flu season its different
@pebbleyt1357 Yeah the family that told me said they went on one in the Winter. In the Summer it is probably a lot different.
@@sunsetmeadows5729 yea that makes a lot more sense tbh, flu season is bad enough let alone trapped on a boat😂
Thanks for the great video guy's.
question: how does the specialty dining work, as when i book a table its £10 each yet the food on the menu is super cheap like £4 for a steak? Im confused.
Me and the wife are doing our first cruise in May. This is great insight so far Kev.
If you want recommendations for other channels and groups as well let me know :) I cruise quite a bit and know some good ones.
🎉
Couldn't you have taken your mobility scooter, make it easier
Hi , we are going on our first ever cruise in April with p and o so this is all new to us , can you tell us please if you had to have any paperwork with your cpap machines I.e doctors letter as my wife has just been put onto one as of yesterday . I do know that we have to take an extension lead but unsure of anything else . Thanks
I’ve never had to show paperwork when on the cruise or flying with it. I have a letter from my doctor just in case, but I’ve never had to use it.
@@KevinChapmanTravel thank you for getting back to me and clearing that up

You talk to mutch just tell us the important thing not all the crap and woflull on and on and on
Maybe ask whoever is forcing you to watch to put something else on?
Wow 👌 OK I've never been on a cruise 🛳 but looks OK to be fair
Hello why did you not have assistance on board Anna could have had a wheelchair for her mobility hope this helps 🛳️
Because we didn't know what was available. We filled in the assistance forms honestly before the cruise, and they moved us to an accessible room but didn't offer anything else.
Have you looked at getting portable chapters machines? We took one on a recent Mediterranean cruise and it was fantastic. Powered by an oversized powerbank. Also great on long distance planes.
