Creator's Key Takeaways

Cafe Vivo is in theory Arcadia's coffee shop. The fluffing place is never open. Open the fluffing place.

Solo cruising is on the up, and one of every older couple has to die first.

I think is a lovely Wii ship already.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Open Cafe Vivo and stock it with snacks and a popcorn machine.
Increase screening room movie showings to every couple of hours.
Create a solo lounge with snacks and a coffee machine.
Designate a specific smoking area on the open deck.
Provide proper afternoon tea instead of buffet selection.
Hire enough staff to reduce guest and staff irritation.

Arcadia is plodding along just fine… but she’s getting on a bit and a bit of make up wouldn't hurt. The cruise world has moved on since she first hit the water, and it’s time for some upgrades. So, next time Arcadia heads into dry dock, here are ten easy fixes to make her better… well, better for me at least. From closed coffee shops and underused cinemas, to solo cruisers, smokers, scones from Lidl, and shower-curtain complaints, nothing is off limits. These aren’t wild refits or billion-pound rebuilds — just simple changes that could make a huge difference to life onboard. 👉 In this video: The coffee shop that’s never open ☕ Why Arcadia needs a proper cinema 🎬 The mystery of three nana craft rooms 🧶 Afternoon tea… or whatever that was 🍰 Smokers vs promenade deck 🚬 Chairs. Just… more chairs 🪑 And why theatres should have actual shows 🎭 Arcadia is still a lovely wee ship, but she could use a little TLC. Here’s how I’d do it. 🔔 Subscribe to Tom Cruisetube for sarcastic cruise reviews, 10 loves vs 10 hates, gym tours, and the truth about life at sea. #Cruise #P&O #Arcadia
