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 ...
Birthday cruise. Boarded coach from Manchester Airport to Southampton. Best to be said for coach station was disorganised chaos. Eventually board coach for a pleasant journey to Southampton.
Embarkation was easy and efficient.
Found cabin which was a nice sized balcony cabin. Was quite clean (seals around shower where dirty and mouldy but cabin steward cleaned these once pointed ...
After enjoying our first P&O cruise on Iona in 2022 we were keen to see how Arvia would compare.
Ship: The ship is really nicely laid out and designed with a good flow. The main moans from other passengers were about the number of sunbeds which were at a premium on the sea days. It was entertaining watching the towels on sunbeds from our balcony.
All the crew we met were friendly and ...
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 ...
Took a 15 day transatlantic cruise and overall it was good with some issues P&O should address.

Room available early
Drinks prices reasonable
Food in speciality restaurants very good
Staff very friendly
Ship clean in most parts
Captain very good at keeping passengers informed
Good Entertainment choices inc ...
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 ...
