Creator's Key Takeaways

this is our first time on P Arcadia and we're heading up to top of Norway for our northern nights Cruise

we had some of the best and some of the worst of cruising with pmo yesterday

the buffet is far too small for the compliment of passengers

we were treated to a lovely show we certainly were amazing they were gorgeous
