Review for a Europe - All Cruise on Arcadia

Mugged customer
6-10 Cruises • Age 77s

Food repetitive in more ways than one. Real friendly cabin with towel sharing. Once they have you on board they don't want to let you off. Was not informed until the ship was under way that Nova virus is running rampant throughout ship even though we spent 3 days in Southampton because of bad weather. The Crew stud over you like we were children to make sure you wash your donnies and ...

Total Disappointment P&o need to take out luxury from the advertising ment

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on Arcadia

The cruise was chosen as my partner had been on the ship several times before. The fist statement I will make is the captain whilst he made the right decisions on the seaman ship of the boat a captain of a cruise linner should be more than that. Tne cruise was a 19 Day cruise in the Med. 1st 2 & 3rd day was spent in Southampton due to the weather Correct decision. But 2 ports were cancelled ...

Review for a Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise on Arcadia

TerryFW
10+ Cruises • Age 80s

My wife and I have been on 25 Cunard cruises and just three on other lines, one on the P&O Iona with the family, so were interested to compare Arcadia with Queen Victoria and Elizabeth. In summary, the ships and their feel are similar, the major differences being the upper decks being accessible on Arcadia but limited to "Grills" class guests on Cunard, so this gives more venues and open deck ...

Lovely cruise despite hiccups

Review for a Europe - All Cruise on Arcadia

10+ Cruises • Age 72s

We have been cruising now for many years and in that time have encountered many events at sea. When choosing a cruise in November from Southampton it is likely we will experience some inclement weather ( it is Autumn/Winter after all ). Storm Ciaran was one such event that kept us in port ( and safe ) for 2 extra days thus impacting the remainder of the trip and missing 3 ports. However, as a ...

Review for a Norwegian Fjords Cruise on Arcadia

10+ Cruises • Age 63s

I flew from Houston to London and arrived the day before the cruise. I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Heathrow and would highly recommend it. This was my first time on P&O Cruises. It mainly caters to British cruisers and many of the passengers I met have only cruised P&O. Their website states that their Elegant Nights are very formal. Many of the men wore tuxes, but some wore a jacket ...

Review for a Arctic Cruise on Arcadia

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

I chose this cruise due to the lack of single supplement, the fact there were no children aboard, and the interesting itinary. I'd not especially enjoyed some recent cruises, but this adventure restored my faith. It's my third P and O cruise this year, and by far the best. The atmosphere in board was brilliant, with most people seemingly keen to enjoy themselves. This was aided by the staff who ...

Would not travel on Arcadia again

Review for a Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise on Arcadia

Lovely ports of call. Good service. Some staff appeared to be very overworked. On the whole good entertainment. Excellent speakers. Headliners could have been better especially the dancers. Had to ask cabin steward for bed changes. Washing machines, coffee machines, toilets all out of order. Buckets in corridor to collect water when it rained. Corrosion evident on many decks. Ship just ...

P+O quality suffering

Review for a Norwegian Fjords Cruise on Arcadia

Hercules11
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

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 ...

Would I cruise again with P&O?

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on Arcadia

Doug1960
6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

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 ...
