P&O Ventura - Day 1 - Embarkation, sail away and The Glass House
Updated: Mar 19, 2025
Join us as we take a mini break with P&O Cruises to Amsterdam onboard Ventura!
We begin this vlog at the Mayflower terminal in Southampton and checked in quickly and efficiently before boarding Ventura. This is the first time we’ve ever cruised on Ventura, so we were really excited to explore a different ship!
Once onboard we had a brief chat on the balcony before getting settled into our cabin, I did visit the laundrette to iron some shirts (they were empty). I’m assuming not many people use the laundrette on embarkation day, so I was in and out within minutes.
We began the trip sailing away during some really miserable weather at Southampton, but we didn’t let that dampen the mood, so went onto deck to watch us leave port.
As we really enjoyed eating at ‘The Glass House’ while on Britannia, we decided to book a table and enjoy our first meal in this well themed restaurant. I have no complaints over the food available at The Glass House, the steaks were cooked perfectly, and the portion sizes were incredible.
We then took a nice walk around Ventura, exploring what was on offer onboard before stopping in Metropolis (Deck 18 - whoops) - for a quick drink, followed by Havana for a spot of entertainment.
We hope you enjoyed this vlog, and be sure to subscribe to our channel as we have more content coming soon!
