This was our first trip on Arcadia although we have travelled on several other P&O ships.
We didn't get the 'wow' factor when boarding Arcadia and initially the ship felt a bit 'bland'.
CABIN - Our cabin was a good size. We had an excellent cabin steward who kept the cabin spotlessly clean. Everything worked and we didn't suffer any cabin noise. My husband and I do take ear plugs just to be on the safe side.
Our cabin was in a quiet location and a good size. We did not suffer from any rattles etc.
The bathroom was adequate and everything worked. However, we had one period when most of the toilets on the ship stopped working.
Our balcony was large but the doors on the balcony were not sliding doors and they were very hard to open. One lady on our table had a fall on her balcony and couldn't get back into her cabin for a couple of hours until she summoned help from next door when they returned to their cabin and heard her cries for help.
My husband found the wardrobes a bit too narrow for his clothes but apart from that we had no problems with our cabin.
On our cruise, the ship in general suffer from 'rust' showing through the white paintwork.
