Europe Arcadia Europe Cruise Reviews

Chose Arcadia for a number of reasons - been on before, adults only + Fjords for 1st time. Few positives but many negatives. Positives ... We were in a balcony on Sun Deck which, according to deck plan, had a solid wall going aft and nothing above us. Wrong! The wall had 2 fire exit doors which were latchable from the inside and Sun beds above us that were usually laid out @ 7:17am on a ...

We have just had a great trip to Amsterdam on the Arcadia .Its an older ship but very nice ,our cabin was very comfortable and spotlessly clean .It was a bit wear and tear in places but the staff were always cleaning.We had a fabulous time thank you so much .Everyone was so helpful the staff very hard working and polite.The entertainment was great.A lovely relaxing trip.We had a lovely table in ...

Cruise chosen for interesting ports of call. Last on this ship 15 yrs ago. apart from a few theatre productions the overall entertainment was poor, there were more quizzes on this ship on a daily basis than ever before. One busker left the ship but not replaced mid cruise. Pianists only played for 45 min each session. Everything was very repetitive ( even the quiz questions). No appearance of the ...

We've been cruising exclusively with P&O for the past ten years. The latest cruise was to the Med from Southampton. I really like P&O but post COVID the quality of service does make me question if we will cruise with them again. We accept that the acute gastroenteritis outbreak didn't help matters (we later found out that there was also COVID cases but these were not mentioned on the 1800 ...

P & O advertise an enjoyable holiday at reasonable price and this is exactly what it provides. The Acadia is not a glamorous or modern ship but has its own charm. Our embarkation was slick and because we had a time slot we boarded the ship within half an hour of turning up at the port in Southampton. We were signed off at our muster station and went directly to have lunch in the Belvedere ...

We have sailed with P&O several times on Arcadia and Azura and always enjoyed ourselves. There is usually a good speaker programme, quirky things to do and see (vegetable carving!), bring lessons and sessions on sea days and generally good food. We chose this cruise for the itinerary - going to places we hadn't been to before. It was obvious when we met our cabin steward that things had changed ...

We chose this cruise because it went to a few ports we hadn't visited before, and it was at a time (April) when we thought the weather would be good but not too hot. We have sailed with P&O 6 times before and 3 of those on Arcadia, and have always enjoyed ourselves. Not on this occasion. We were surprised when our Cabin Steward advised us there was no evening turn-down and that he wasn't ...

I have cruised with P&O several times in the past and have always recommended them above the likes of Royal Caribbean because the service has traditionally been so much better. Not this time. It may well have been that particular ship, the Arcadia, but had that of been my first cruise with P&O I would be in no hurry to go back. There was sickness on board (Norovirus) that was very badly ...

Well this was a New Years cruise that I will never forget and all for the wrong reasons. This cruise was a 60th birthday present brought for me by my wife back in 2021. The start didn't go well with us having to wait to board the ship having to enter all our details again because the computer system had broken. Entrance to the ship is very underwhelming there is no atrium to wow the ...

Went on Arcadia for new year with my wife, this was our fifth time on Arcadia and we basically thought most things had gone downhill, so are listing our thoughts as pros and cons: - Pros: • The Main Dining Room, considering all the negative reviews the food quality was much better than expected • It was good to see that some of the pre-Covid onboard staff have returned to the ...
