Creator's Key Takeaways

The Uber that Ken ordered failed to turn up, but he still got charged. So not the best start to our day.

We've just met a lovely uh he was the guest services manager called Abby and he was very apologetic... he's offered us a change of cabin.

We've thoroughly enjoyed our time in Rotterdam... we definitely recommend you check out Daniel because that was well worth it.

Arcadia has felt very homely to us. We think it's got some fantastic venues and the majority of staff have been absolutely excellent.

Cabin noise affecting sleep β€” Contact guest services immediately; they can offer a cabin change, as happened in this case.
Getting around in port cities β€” Use Uber for cheaper transport than taxis; pre-book train tickets via app for convenience.
