Creator's Key Takeaways

with more than 100 cruises under our belt this is one of the worst cruises we've ever done

the cabin falls short of meeting the needs of the modern Cruiser rendering it a space that while nice to look at proves tedious to live in

the dining experience was regrettably a let down

the service aboard arvia really wasn't good in fact it's one of the worst experiences we've had

Book specialty restaurants weeks in advance to secure reservations
Arrive early for sunbeds, as they are scarce and competitive
