As I said in my title, you get what you pay for. The ship is getting on and looks a little faded in parts. The food is nowhere the level you would otherwise expect on a cruise. But hey, you get what you pay for. What I don't understand is why people who come on having paid a P&O price, expect a Regent Seven Seas service. This is an adult only ship which quite naturally attracts a fair amount of UK ...
Had an excellent long haul cruise in 2013 on P&O's Adonia so was happy to trust them with another long haul cruise.
The Aurora is a beautiful ship, lovely and clean, happy friendly crew, great onboard entertainent and excellent food. If you get the right cabin I would highly recomend it but our deluxe balcony cabin was disgusting. The balcony wasn't fit for purpose or as described to me by ...
It was a great time to cruise with P & O on the Arcadia - 4 weeks away at the beginning of November when it was wet and cold in the UK. No flying, Southampton to Southampton via Madeira, the Caribbean and the Azores. Once the ship had sailed through the fog (the first couple of days) the weather was really good. Interesting ports of call and extremely easy to get ashore when in port.
The ship ...
Cruise WVDV6X. ARCADIA 16 September – 10 October 2019. Canada
Sorry for the delay with this review. Family issues have taken up my time since we have returned
Our 6th P and O cruise so far. To my mind in many ways the best cruise we have been on, (ish)
Embarkation was very fast and efficient. The same with disembarkation, we left ahead of schedule
Our cabin was B17, an inside and at ...
Done it before twice and as it fitted in with our plans we decided to do it again.experienced many bad issues whilst onboard,all of them reported to the head of the relevant department but on almost every occasion the issues were not addressed which bothered us greatly to the point were we thought we would leave it until we returned home and then report it to p&o directly but to no avail.
Very ...
We chose this cruise because it fitted in with our diary and golden wedding celebration.
All previous cruises we have had an outside cabin but this time we decided to try an inside and we were not disappointed. The size is quite comparable to the ordinary outside staterooms and as we spend very little time in the cabin (awake) we didn't miss the windows/balcony either.
The cabin steward, ...
I had sailing into New York Harbour on my yet to do bucket list, plus although we have covered much of Canada we had not touched the eastern side so this was an ideal choice.
We have sailed on Arcadia before and enjoyed the fact that it was child free. Because it was transatlantic both ways so a number of days at sea we chose to book a suite. The brochure description sounded great and we were ...
We are in our mid 50's and cruise quite a lot. Mostly Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Princess.
We chose this cruise as it was a Transatlantic, stopping at the Azures which we have never visited. We still haven't. The day before we left I got an e-mail from P&O saying we wouldn't be going to the Azores . Reason they gave was stormy weather affecting their operations. They don't say that in ...
This was our first cruise and a bit of a special occasion for ourselves but where do I start!
Toilets constantly not working and this was due to the system unable to cope not blockages as staff tried to infer. This was not just our cabin but everywhere on the ship.
Leaks springing up everywhere, through walls, ceilings and blow dryers constantly in use throughout the ship.
We excepted ...
We use this cruise to relax and not get jet lag on the way back, just chill on sea days and enjoy the ships entertainment each night,
Good bunch of passengers playing deck quoits each day and we was able to play until the day before disembarkation.
Freedom dining is our preference and this worked really well...
Coach service back to Gatwick makes the trip really good value ....
Done ...
