Carolyn & I chose this cruise after booking in Aug 2017 to cruise to the Azores on Adonia. We enjoyed our first ever cruise on Adonia in Aug 2012. P & 0 sold Adonia early in 2018 & so we looked an alternative. We had sailed on Arcadia to the Fjords in June 2016 & so happily booked on her again.
We stayed overnight at the Chilworth Manor and embarked at 12:30. We were seated for lunch in the ...
This was our third cruise with P&O and to say we were disappointed with the ship would be an understament.
The locations we visited were spectacular, the crew and staff could not do enough for you, but the ship and P&O seem to be failing in many areas.
The following is just a few examples of the issues we had on the cruise, some may seem trivial but all together they had an effect.
The ...
Our 15th cruise with P&O and our first on Arcadia, which means that we have now been on all ships in the P&O fleet at least once, so can make direct comparisons between them all. We booked this cruise as we wanted to see the Fjords to Flaam and Olden, as our previous attempt (on Britannia) failed as P&O cancelled both ports a few months before (this has happened at least 6 times that I know of ...
I've been to the Fjords of Norway twice but never get bored of its stunning natural beauty. This cruise didn't disappoint. Arcadia is a lovely ship. Understated decor with a small atrium yes, but has a real wow factor from the outside, handles the seas extremely well being a Vista Class vessel and has a lovely blend of restaurants and amenities on board She's classy and elegant without feeling ...
We had a balcony cabin and sailing from Southampton for a belated 40th wedding anniversary.
An extensive wine list and reasonably priced, A bottle of St Emilion Grand Cru 2012 was £24-95 around the price in Majestic or Waitrose ashore.
Excellent food but whatever time we came the Freedom Dining was busy and we had pagers several times and delays.
P&O should drop Haugesund - Not worth the ...
having sailed on this ship before and having lots of problems on it was, wondering if it would be the same. Having said that P&O were very helpful to us and we had already booked this cruise before sailing on the last.
So we had a wonderful cruise the weather of course made it even more enjoyable. The scenery was outstanding.
CABIN We had changed our cabin because of the trouble on the last ...
Wanted to try different cruise line, but sadly disappointed. The food in main dining room was very good and the breakfast in Sindhu (for suite guests). The lady in the library was unhelpful and quite rude when I asked for help registering the internet. There was no dry cleaning service which was annoying as it was advertised, all other cruise lines I have used give dry cleaning facility, and ...
We picked this cruise because it left from Southampton (no flying) and visited countries we had not seen before at the right time of year.
The drive to Southampton was smooth and we arrived at 12.15, with a couple of hours to spare, the port parking were very organised and efficient. We expected to sit in the departure lounge but were processed straight away and on the ship in the buffet by ...
We chose this cruise because there were a number of ports we have not visited before.
i can say that we were not disappointed, The main highlights were sailing in and out of Venice, Split and Dubrovnik.
Service was excellent in all departments and we found the ship in good condition and looks well after her refit.
this was our first adult only cruise and it had its share of grumpy old ...
I was on this ship in 2018 and also had been on it in 2008. Over the ten years a number of items are in need of attention. In my balcony cabin, one of the high storage bins handle came off in my hand when I opened it. A small mat placed adjacent to the balcony door was curled up to the extent that it posed a significant tripping hazard.
On my balcony, there was significant corrosion on the ...
