P&O Arcadia Dining Review - Worth It or Disappointing?
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
Arcadia recently introduced the new P and O menus and they're a massive improvement over what I had on Britannia and Arvia.
Ocean Grill was the standout meal of the entire cruise. I booked it before getting on board. It's very popular and it was worth every penny.
The buffet lunch options felt quite sy by the end of the cruise. There weren't many salad choices, and I'm not someone who wants a massive hot meal in the afternoon.
