P&O Arcadia: What I Liked and Didn't Like After Sailing This Classic Ship!
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
Arcadia has built up a reputation for being one of ENO Cruis's most peaceful and elegant ships
One of the biggest selling points of the Arcadia is that it's adults only. No kids, no chaos, just a calm, relaxed environment
The price you see is the price you pay, which is a refreshing change from many cruise lines that tack on a service charge at the end
My biggest frustration was with the buffet restaurant. During peak times, it was just too busy
