Creator's Key Takeaways

Arcadia's usual operating capacity is 294 guests there are a plethora of cabins to choose from

Arcadia is an adults only midsize ship with 11 passenger decks

I think Arcadia looks better by night just comes to life of all of these lights and colors

Arcadia definitely needs a nip and tuck in places especially some of the cabins

YouTube Video Description↓

Is a short cruise worth it in your opinion? Well, I am here to report back on our 3 night cruise onboard P&O Arcadia sailing from Southampton UK to Belgium and back. I'll show you the ship, our cabin, all venues, experience and review the food and bars onboard, the service, the pools and open decks PLUS I'll show you how to SAVE a lot of money on getting to Bruges from Zeebrugge port / the ship with a step by step guide to getting there and what to do whilst there. However, this isn't a cruise that goes smoothly at times, so be ready for some pot holes on the ocean.
