Creator's Key Takeaways

Arcadia was a real mixed bag. Some things were great, some things were awful, some things were just bit north or south of Okay.

I love the glass lifts. A few ships have got them and they're always a treat, but Arcadia has loads of them.

I hate Cafe Vivo. I love being on a ship, drinking my coffee, and gazing out to the ocean... But if a coffee shop is closed all day, every day, then there is no coffee, and it's not a shop.

I love Arcadia's classic ship vibe. There's loads of outdoor space because they didn't used to pack people in the way they do now.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Use the glass lifts for sightseeing on sea days.
โœ“Bring a book if you can't fill a day with the limited activities.
โœ“Be prepared to pay extra for room service.
