This was our 4th cruise to Norway and we had been to all the ports before; we chose it to experience Arcadia and just relax on board.

The ship is enormous and throughout the cruise there were passengers 'lost' whilst looking for some particular room or facility.

Arcadia's Palladium Theatre is superb, with very few interruptions to sight lines. However, its cinema is tiny and operates a ticket system due to the small seating capacity. The seats themselves are very comfortable, like Pullman seats in a cinema.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Stateroom with Balcony and Bath/Shower

Cabin DF

This cabin was very handy for the forward lifts/stairs, and relatively spacious.

Plus points:

* Very good design of wardrobe, allowing flexible use of the space with shelf options.

* Generous storage space

* Modern flat-screen TV

* In-cabin tea-making facilities

* Very good soundproofing between cabins

Minus points:

* Poor ergonomic design - when in use by a couple, if one is using the wardrobe you cannot get to the bathroom.

* Bathroom door opens outwards, so beware!

* The sofabed (we only used it as a sofa) was rather uncomfortable and not suitable for sitting on for any length of time

* The balcony door rattled unless it was double-locked - it was fine otherwise
