We did our first p&o cruise in July to the baltics, cruised lots of times and been to baltics before, had heard good and bad re arcadia but went with open mind.
Embarkation was quick and efficient, but it was almost 3pm when we got there having travelled by coach with intercruise.
Cabin was ready. We had balcony cabin, it was clean and spacious, we had chosen cabin number so no surprises. Welcomed by cabin steward. He quickly brought extra hangers I asked for and ice every day as we requested. Nice touch was atlas and binoculars in cabin. Bed was very comfortable.
