During the refit all of the existing cabins were refreshed with new carpets, curtains and 32-inch or 42-inch flat-screen TVs. The only issue we had was being allocated to a dining slot where we ate alone, rather than the free dining we had requested. If you've energy left from exploring ashore, why not try a new sport –archery, maybe? What about some friendly family competition playing giant chess, table tennis or shuffleboard? When Mr Tickerton’s Clockwork Circus comes to town, you are guaranteed a fantastic night’s entertainment. A theatrical circus like no other, led by the enigmatic Mr Tickerton.
Spanning two decks, Arcadia's Meridian Dining Room (main restaurant) features a glass design and a grand central staircase. The restaurant is complimentary and serves good quality food. Breakfast features everything one would expect, from light and healthy options to British fry-up. Lunch is a la carte (including soups, lighter dishes, pies) while Afternoon Tea serves tasty treats of sandwiches, scones, cakes. For dinner, the Meridian Restaurant operates the usual dining system (with two sittings) allowing passengers to dine each night at the same table.
Oceanview/outside cabins are with 1 Picture Window and have the same amenities as balcony staterooms. Category LA oceanview rooms are with obstructed views due to safety equipment. Categories NC and NB are with obstructed views due to lifeboats. Inside cabins are with the same amenities and lack the balcony/window feature. As a result of all these pre-launch changes, Arcadia's ship design has Cunard's mast (similar to RMS Queen Mary 2) and a modified funnel (instead P&O UK's traditional funnel). This makes the vessel sistership to Queen Victoria, also to Coral Princess and Island Princess, and partially to Costa's Luminosa and Deliziosa.
Spa, beauty and fitness on board
Shortly before her launch the decision was made to transfer the ship to the P&O Cruises fleet.[2] As a result, Arcadia has a Cunard-style mast similar to those found on Queen Elizabeth 2 and RMS Queen Mary 2. P&O Arcadia itinerary program is based mainly on roundtrips from homeport Southampton, including an annual World Cruise and Transatlantic crossings (to the USA and Canada, and the Caribbean) - all are roundtrips from the UK. In Europe, the ship visits ports in the Mediterranean, Baltic (Norway Fjords), British Isles, Iceland and Norway, Western Europe (mini-cruises UK to Belgium). Follows the complete list of Arcadia restaurants and food bars.
P&O Cruises is a subsidiary company and two brands owned by Carnival Corporation - P&O UK and P&O Australia. In 2000, P&O Cruises became subsidiary of P&O Princess Cruises, which merged with Carnival Corporation in 2003. P and O is the world's oldest cruise company, starting passenger shipping operations in 1822 on the routes connecting England with Iberia. Arcadia offers five restaurants on board including the Meridian Restaurant, Sindhu and Ocean Grill. There are some venues on each ship where dress codes don’t apply, so make sure to check your Horizon paper that’s delivered to your cabin each day to check where these are, as they vary ship by ship.
Casual clothing for the day, adjusted to the destination and more formal evening attire are recommended for a cruise with P & O Cruises. Too casual clothing, such as tracksuits or disguises are not welcome. Various restaurants of famous star chefs, elegant bars and shows in the style of London's West End meet the leisure requirements of modern cruise guests.
These are Panamax vessels, meaning their dimensions allow transition through Panama Canal's old locks. Follows the complete list of Arcadia lounges, clubs and other entertainment venues for kids, teens, and adults. The boat has 11 passenger decks, of which 7 are with cabins.
If your idea of a good time is stepping on to the dance floor and busting a move, then you’ll love our choice of dance classes. With dance instructors on board each cruise, there’s no better time to master a new skill. Get ready to make a splash with our amazing choice of pools on board. On Arcadia, you will find 5 whirlpool spas and 2 pools, 1 with retractable roof, perfect for when you want a refreshing dip whilst watching the world go by. If you like it "very british" and are a fan of traditional cruises, then you are just right onboard the M / S Arcadia. Knowledge of the English language is recommended, as no German-speaking service is offered.
The restaurant's upper level is for Freedom Dining, which means you can turn up at any time. The 2000-passenger ship Arcadia once sailed as the largest custom-built vessel for the British market - this was until P&O Cruises' Ventura joined the fleet in April 2008. Arcadia was not always marked to sail under the flag of P&O. Carnival Corporation had actually planned this vessel to be Cunard's Queen Victoria but later took the decision to allocate it to whichever one of its multifarious brands that could make the best use of it. The cruise ship also sports a modified Queen Elizabeth 2-style funnel, with cowling removed instead of the traditional P&O style funnel found on the purpose-built Oriana and Aurora.[7] Arcadia along with Aurora are adult only ships.
