Exclusively for adults - Arcadia’s signature features such as her exterior glass-fronted lifts and expansive art collection, featuring no less than 3,000 works of art, create a sophisticated air.
First time on this ship, but 5th cruise with P&O. First impressions are that the ship looks a little tired, rust, threadbare and sagging seats, de-laminating panels, blown and cracked glazing panes, lifts not working etc. like a once glamorous but now aging aunt trying desperately to paper over the cracks. Ship still nice though, easy layout to get used to, and staff all lovely and helpful as ever. Stateroom has adequate space and comfortable fittings, and the shower above the mini bath was one of the best in our many cruises, but on a British ship, only one 3pin socket outlet, one balcony footrest for 2 and a a faulty tv leaves a bit to be desired. My time dining though is an absolute fiasco with people queuing from 5pm for the 6pm tables for 2. Failure to queue at least half a hour before means being issued with a pager and another hour’s wait. ‘Bunfight’ Belvedere self service restaurant is your only option ( where I’m sure people sharpen their elbows to jab you with ) after trying both the pay extra speciality restaurants where slow service and mediocre lukewarm food seems to be the norm we sometimes opted for a burger instead! Sindhu especially has gone right downhill, Atul Kulchar would be turning in his grave if he was dead! He needs to eat in there incommunicado and see the reality now, and not be like the queen who thought the whole world smelled of fresh paint! Shore excursions with the ship are as usual very overpriced, but the ports of call were all excellent. The Ship seems very stable, and all Officers and crew are excellent, capable and friendly. As usual there are plenty of activities during sea and port days, but again, get to the theatre well early if you want to sit down! In conclusion, a nice ship with excellent crew, and would cruise on her again in a heartbeat… but forewarned is forearmed.

There's never a dull moment...
P&O Cruises offers the very best in cruise entertainment. Days can be filled with as much or as little as you want, whilst evenings are no doubt the social highlight.
