Creator's Key Takeaways

embarkation here today was really impressive because I quite often find that when you turn up the art something I thought it was 1pm so I got here what about 1 15 and usually around that time the place is rammed with everyone trying to get on board at the same time but today as you've hopefully seen in the footage by now it was it was just great it was so well managed

I'm disappointed to tell you that the current forecast is out of the limits to be able to safely birth Arcadia alongside him see Bruce this being said I'm place of Isaac I've just been informed by the company we've been able to secure an overnight call in Rotterdam

quality of food was excellent it just took a long time to come so once it was on the table really really good

Book excursions with the cruise line for protection if plans change

YouTube Video Description

Hello! In this video, it's day 1, or 'embarkation day' for my cruise with P&O Cruises on Arcadia, one of the oldest ships in their fleet. After checking out Carnival Celebration down in Southampton, we're going to board the ship in this video, and I'll give you a feel of what the first day of a cruise looks like from Southampton with P&O. Shortly after leaving Southampton, we had a very unexpected announcement from the Captain, which immediately altered the course of our cruise, which was initially intended to sail across to Belgium (Zeebrugge) and back. If you're new to my channel, hello! I hope to use this channel to help as many people as possible make the most out of their future cruises. I genuinely believe that there's a cruise line (and cruise ship!) out there to suit everybody, regardless of your preferences, and I want to help you to find yours!
