I Ate at EVERY Restaurant on Britain's LARGEST CRUISE SHIP! (P&O Arvia - 30 Restaurants & Bars)

good morning everyone welcome back to the channel there's nothing better than starting a vlog from a cruise balcony a cruise ship balcony oh is it raining chilly we're coming in for our last day tomorrow we rideing Southampton uh the weather's changing it's cold I need to put a jacket on but such an amazing trip and we wanted today to do a full food video because I feel like we're now experts on the dining choices on the RVA so we're on the piano RVA one of like the biggest ing points for us with this ship was how many like eateries and restaurants they have so they say it's over I think it's over or it is 30 bars and restaurants um and I'm pretty sure we've tried all of them I think bar one we tried we tried pretty much all of them at this point um so in today's video we just want to talk through all of them show you the options so that if you're coming on you know what to expect you know what not to miss you know what you maybe could miss obviously it's just our opinions but we do like to think of ourselves as quite like food orientated Travelers and everywhere we go we look for food we look for coffee we look for like nice restaurants a Locus St we we're quite Foody people when we travel it's like one of the big incentives to travel for us so hopefully this will help you if you're coming on um and if not and you just like watching food videos then welcome grab a drink grab something to eat because this video will probably make you hungry first things first [Music] breakfast the thing I love about the restaurant breakfast one the food seems to be fresher than the buffet they bring it all out freshly cooked for you oh we're in the main dining room we're in we're in the main dining room Zenith on board AIA deck s if you need to know how to get here they do give you this menu here which um has kind of set breakfast and everything you can order eggs benedict Etc Pio cruises breakfast however you don't have to stick to this you can do what I do and just tell them exactly what you want so I order three fried eggs two bacon a hash mushrooms Etc whatever you want you Millie the other thing is with the buffet which is another Choice um it's every time we've been there it's really busy like people are queuing I mean like the food still looks fresh and still looks good we not actually tried it but so when you're feeling tired you've just woken up you don't need to like line up in a queue and like pile your food on your plate you can just sit down and as lazy as it sounds someone brings your food over to you um which I think is a lot nicer anyway and having like the luxury of going out to restaurant breakfast every day you wouldn't get that at home so um that's what we to do anyway one sausage and one hash brown please good boy you have the famous buffet breakfast every cruise ship has this every breakfast item imaginable Under the Sun in one place you do have to compete with fellow guests and passengers though to get your breakfast there it can of be big cues and lines here um if you're up for that it's a good option you get so you get a little bit more Choice than you would get in the restaurant and the food is still good and fresh usually it comes out fast we do find here the tables are a little bit closer together there's a little bit I mean there's no service you're doing everything yourself you're trying to carry your breakfast plate get your coffee on your own and basically everything is self-service and then another option unique to Aria I believe maybe I owners as well sister ships is the keys which is on Deck eight and this gives you a more limited it gives you a mix going to go to the kids area soon kid yeah you can go to the kids area soon no problem at all go there yeah we'll go later yeah over there over there yeah good idea it gives you a kind of in between because the food is served to you on a plate still but it's almost like fast food you've got a little menu up here you've got a station for pancakes and waffles one for omelette and then one for like f English you will help yourself to like the buffet but it's a little bit more like um I don't know somewhere between a restaurant and a buffet I don't know how to explain it but we quite like it someone's calling your [Music] name my b [Music] oh thank you and Daddy let them go stay here of course stay here [Music] okay oh we've just walked 15 floors we have been trying to take that's the other thing with all this food on the ship taking the stairs is a little bit of a hack if you uh feel up to the challenge just met a lovely couple who watched our Ventura videos years and years ago we' actually had quite a lot of people come up to us on this cruise and say they've recognized us from the channel and she actually recognized me from this mole I'm I'm considering like getting some of these removed just for like looks purposes um but maybe I won't now she like recognized you from the malls I like okay cool really really nice couple nice for people to say hi to us if they do recognize us from the video one other breakfast option which is kind of a brunch option that I did want to mention is the American Diner we went there for lunch the other day but they do a brunch menu I think from 10: or 11: and you can also get brunch there so AIA really does host it really is like a food ship there are so many options 30 different restaurants and bars whatever you feel like across two weeks you can really change it up for your breakfast options but we're going to go for a swim take a few hours and then of course you're never too far away from your next meal on a cruise ship so we will see you for our lunch but not before I grabb myself a quick coffee at the coffee shop down here which uses Costa Coffee Pio seem to have a very long-term ongoing deal with Costa because every cruise ship I've been on with Pio has always been Costa Coffee they also do some Cakes and Pastries here at the coffee shop but you do have to pay for these £225 so as promised lunch we feel like we have only just finished breakfast and put our knce and F Downs for that but we have come down to the Horizon which is the buffet for our first part of lunch then there's going to be lunch part two of course cuz there are so many options on this ship but I've gone for today some Curry the curries have been really really good on this Cruise um one of the highlights actually of the whole cuisine on board some Curry some pork some steak and some rice so keeping it high protein which is what we like and then we're going to show you the keys lunch in a minute I think Lucy's going to have fish and chips so we're trying to film this by eating at these PES but also we want to talk about some we've had in the past that we're not necessarily going to we can't 30 restaurants a day guys we can't do that we're at the end of the cruise our stomachs are full I've not been hungry for 2 weeks cuz we haven't stopped eating so I can't e in every restaurant in one day but um we are now at the keys so I didn't fancy anything at the buffet today um I fancied something at the keys they've got three different stalls the same as when we're at breakfast but one of them is fishion chips which has always got a very big line there a long quue right now then there's the Asian fusion which is got katsu chicken curry corn and coconut Tha green curry or like a tofu Ginger green bean thing that all come with rice then there's a roast dinner one that's got yoka pudding wraps which we had on the first day which are quite nice we like a beef one with um what's it called horseradish sauce they've got like big um Yorkshire puddings that you've got like a roast in it inside of and they've always got a different meat every day and then there's always a vegetarian option so like mock lamb is what's on to St so I'm going to grab maybe Cod I'll get him a fish and chips and I'll get myself maybe the Ty green curry other options for lunch we've had had lunch at the American Diner we've had lunch at twth of eaten lunch it's obviously room service and stuff we've not had that cuz you've got a 250 charge on room service actually so anything you order you pay £250 for it to be delivered to the room no matter what you buy and then on C days you can actually eat lunch at the main restaurant there's taste 360 which is like pizzas and burgers which is pool side which is quite nice and we've had that a couple of times it's not like the nicest burgers ever but they're like quick easy to grab and quite tasty we did have another amazing Burger on board at the KE and cow we'll talk about that later that's more of a dinner option um but for now I'm going to go and stand in the spray long C and grab a fish and [Music] chips and then just around the corn you've also got um where you get all your drinks then little salads out and some dessert so Tha green is a very green as the name says and we've got is it just prawns I think it's just prawns and then the caty curry just here so we've had t in Thailand and katsu curry in Japan it's not like the most authentic best ever had but it is still really nice that there's this option on board so ge's gone for another lunch no this is not for me this is apparently for Koda the fish and chips is actually really good here isn't it the fish is always very crispy and the fish is very flaky chips are nice they're not like fish and chip chop chips but they're good I say it's probably the best meal you can get here in the keys that has just been cooked nice and fresh boiling hot same with the chips if you've watched this channel for more than say a week you'll know that Lucy and I are big Believers in following your dreams building something for yourself in your life which is

description sign up for your own account and check this out for yourself so I've to spent an hour in the gym now it is time once again for dinner main restaurant this evening so we have come to the main dining room again for dinner tonight but this is meridian so Zenith is on the seventh floor meridian's on the sixth floor we've got the same menus they've got slightly different chairs maybe they've actually got the same chairs we just sit in different places but they're basically at the same restaurant same menu um and you can choose which one you want to go to as and when yes we've got them already in book for tonight we booked a lot of our meals before we came on board because we had a lot of people telling us that things get booked up and uh we with a 2-year-old we didn't really want to get any cues or wait with buzzers uh if it was just George and I wouldn't mind we get a drink somewhere but when we're going to the restaurant with a 2-year-old we need to go to the restaurant and sit straight down because it's just much easier cuz obviously three meals out a day with a 2-year-old isn't the easiest thing in the world for him uh he's doing so well we've got a lot of stuff with us to entertain him and bless him but yeah so anyway we are at the Meridian the menu tonight is quite nice it's obviously varied every night there's always about six starter options how many Mains eight Mains and then about six start or five starters maybe they always have the chicken and the steak available and then there's often like fish and other meats and stuff as well as a few vegetarian vegan options and I'd say that we've enjoyed most F meals here there's been a few that we were slightly disappointed with uh but it just depends on the menu of the night some nights we say oh I want to get loads of things and you can order you can order multiple Ms if you wanted to they really don't mind if you want to try a few things which is nice um and of course this is all included in your price of your cruise so it's like you can order what you want yes some days you come and there's loads you'd like to order some days it's like oh I like standard one thing so I'll get that but you're not like that into the menu but I guess that's like anywhere and it does really vary night per night but often it's like meat veg and potato sort of dishes um offer with a couple of extra things they did a sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice and fr crackers the other day which was huge and that was quite yummy and a bit different which was cool um tonight I've ordered TI spring rolls for starter and the gam for main um so we'll show you that when it gets here and we often get a dessert and a cheese plate as well from here and we have done two formal nights here as well they do Chef's Table in the buffet and we walked through that the other day and it's quite a funny concept because you're setting the buffet all sort of dressed up it feels a bit odd to me like I quite like the setting of the restaurant for formal night um but apparently the food's really lovely there we didn't get to try on this Cruise cuz it's only two formal nights and the two weeks but yeah we've done the formal nights in this restaurant twice and they make it a a little bit more special the menu is a bit more special they bring you a little am MB thingy some truffles at the end of the mail uh and it's obviously nice everyone being dressed up so we've done that twice and we're also in a minute going to be talking about all the other dining options the specialty dining we've paid for quite a few different meals on this ship so we've done the epicurian The Glass House the beach house what else we've tried the Olive Grove which is also included and there's basically there's still lots more to talk about so maybe we'll show you our food and second when it gets here and then we'll chat a little bit more about that in a second so the ti spring rolls have come out look out hot plate he did tell me always listen to your waiter cashy SAU looks really nice the sauce looks quite good going splash splash splash yeah let's try let's dig in we to about the kids menu here as well oh a little bit of lime true Dro My lime in the food blogger Dro My lime in the uh spring roll darling it's hot you can try some in a minute okay A little bit of lime it's quite impressive how they are obviously making this on like a mass production scale thousands of meals going out let's try it what that what is that it's called a spring roll darling would you like to try some no that is really good it's not oily and greasy but it's crispy it's not hot but it's still warm plenty of flavor the sauce is good really nice this is the famous piano steak on every menu on every ship well no it's just on this menu is it not is it not in every main dining restaurant on every piano ship yeah you said on every restaurant on every menu oh no sorry every main dining restaurant piano you get this steak I've ordered it medium rare because like thank you very much steak Knife I tend to go one below what I actually want I was tempted to order rare because I find that whatever you order is always slightly more let's see let's see tonight oh let help you face and if you like chips I would recommend ordering an extra portion of chips cuz they really as you can see don't give you that many chips as standard I mean do you need more chips that's your choice personally yes I think we do so I'm to let's see okay see I would now say that's me medium and not medium rare but medium is kind of what I wanted so I went one below kind of got what I wanted but that's just been our experience [Music] here thank you [Music] so of course for dinner you could also go to the keys the American Diner the buffet which will be similar to lunch Olive Grove we'll put in a few Clips here from when we had a really nice meal at Olive Grove so the Olive Grove is like a I think it's Mediterranean and they've got a really lovely menu it's all included and we found it to be quite nice um again like not the best food we've ever had but really quite nice stuff and the fact that it's all included is great um so we had some pasta dishes and the starters are really nice as well the American Diner was probably the biggest disappointment for some reason on the ship I mean we only have one meal there we had planned more but we didn't actually love the food uh for example we had buffalo wings but they had ketchup on instead of buffalo sauce uh but it's a fun concept and the actual environment's really nice but yeah the food was slightly disappointing we also ate at The Glass House and this was one one of the dining options where you pay for it but it was definitely the best meal we had on the ship it's like a Tass kind of menu uh they've also got some nice main courses which are amazing and honestly the flavors were just like amazing like really really really good food so if you're Foody people definitely get to The Glass House we also really enjoyed the epicurian and that's £35 per person and that includes like three courses plus some other nice bits as well um it might have been like seven courses in the end we ended up getting a dessert board and a cheese plate uh and that again was really really lovely high quality food main course we shared a huge RI IED steak uh just huge generous portions but loads of flavor cindu we enjoyed I think we've enjoyed it more on other ships but it's still a nice menu other things you can pay for are ripples and sundae and they're two like ice cream dessert shops one's by the pool and one is on Deck 7 near the atrium we also ate at the Keelan cow which is more of a pub style menu with steaks and burgers and stuff we had an amazing burger called the Prime Minister I think it was called and it was £ £1 something about £ each and it was incredible there was so much going on but it worked so well there's the Limelight club which we didn't get to try because it's an adult only place where you get dinner and a show but I've heard quite good things about that and lastly green and Co which is a vegetarian restaurant but George is a a heavy meat eater so I didn't manage to convince him to go there but again I've heard good things and you do pay to go there and there's also a sushi bar called mitana I think it's called on the side of that mitana and again we didn't get a chance to try that it's funny in the two weeks it just goes so fast you end up struggling to actually get to all the places so if you do have a cruise bir I'd recommend like figuring out what you want to eat roughly just so that you can make sure you don't miss any of the spots that you want to try we're going home soon are we when um maybe we're going home tomorrow say what you thought about the cruise have you liked it no you've not liked the cruise no what's been your favorite bit um a this bit this bit perfect it can I hold it please can I it you
