Great insight to Arcadia, we just returned from a cruise on Ventura and were so impressed by the level of service we have booked our Christmas cruise on Arcadia and can't wait . Great video .

Great ships tour. Looking forward to our Christmas cruise on Arcadia. Think this will be my favourite ship as it reminds me if dear old Oceana, with added bonus of being child free.
Hey Diane, thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment - always lovely to hear some positive feedback! Have a great cruise - she’ll look gorgeous for Christmas, I’m sure!
We are due to go on our first ever cruise in just over two weeks time on Arcadia. We are doing the Norwegian Fjords for 12 nights and to say that we are excited is a bit of an understatement. We cannot wait!
We did a tran Atlantic cruise onboard a few years ago. To the USA & Canada, have booked for a Christmas cruise onboard this year and looking forward to going onboard again
Really looking forward to watching this vlog as am going on Arcadia for a 10 day Xmas cruise on 19 December this year and although I now always sail with P & O, Arcadia, Arvia and Azura I have not cruised on yet.
Got back today from arcadia ,its in a mess ,tables not cleaned ,floors not swept ,saw one of the boys spaying early actually brush the tables with the floor squeegee. It needs gutting from stern to bow or scrapping altogether
Thanks for this tour… I don’t know how I missed this! But I’m so impressed with ship I have booked a sneaky little 3 nighter on her in 10 days time 😆 I’m hoping she is a good as she looks because if she is I’m definitely booking a longer cruise 🚢 You have really inspired me, so thank you 😊
Ooh, amazing - I’ve heard of a few people on that one. Have a GREAT trip - I’m so glad I could help you out. Thanks so much for watching (as always), Tina!
Just a few things you did not get correct. 1 the retreat on Arcadia is not a paid venue unlike on other P&O ships and is not for suite passengers. 2 The Ocean Grill is not a seafood restaurant it is a grill room. 3. Launderettes are available on all P&O ships
Appreciated this. Noe seeking the presentation on the cabins. We are thinking of booking the world cruise but the reviews on Arcadia are holding us back, especially comments about food. We started on the old Victoria 30 years ago and have cruised with PO many times, but standards have fallen dramatically and have since favoured other cruise lines. The age of the ship does not bother us, and love the walk around promenade deck, but jury is still out. The 2025 itinerary is what is grabbing our attention.
Hey, thanks for watching! Some of the routes on this ship really are fantastic, but I do appreciate your view - lots of resource being ploughed into the big megaships of today… I’m cruising on another older P&O ship soon - watch this space!
Our 1st cruise was 42 nights on Arcadia from Adelaide to Southampton in 2014 loved every minute of it. Thinking of doing the 57 days again from Adelaide to Southampton via the Pacific 2026 0:07
Oh my goodness - both of these routes sound absolutely incredible - very jealous! Nice size of ship to go on - I reckon for the Pacific route, she’d fit through the Panama old locks!
We are thinking of the Southampton to New Zealand '25 part of the world cruise. Just hesitant after some negative videos and comments on other utube channels.
Hi, i'm autistic going on this ship in june. Can I ask some rouge questions? Is there air con throughout the ship? I like to be cold it keeps me calm, and where are the quiest spots
Hello! Thanks for watching my video 😊 I found the ship to be totally fine from a temperature point of view, and you can control your room individually, so you shouldn’t struggle at all :) In terms of quiet space, the atrium on this ship can be nice and quiet as there aren’t many venues in it. I’d also recommend the top deck by Sindhu - a lovely lookout that lots of people don’t know about. Have a great cruise!
@@FraserAtSea just my personal opinion maybe if it wasn't all shut I may have had a more positive opinion. Just looked like one of those dive cross channel ferries just with better decor. Sorry

Ahh, there’s quite a few people in these comments on the Christmas cruise by the looks of it. I’m glad you had a good time - thanks for watching!

Hey Diane, thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment - always lovely to hear some positive feedback! Have a great cruise - she’ll look gorgeous for Christmas, I’m sure!
So looking forward to going on this ship a great look round thanks
Thanks so much for watching - glad you enjoyed!
We're jumping on this one on tuesday to west europe!
Ooh, nice ship choice - have the best cruise!
A good gift shop and wrap around promenade deck...I'm in! 😂 Thanks Fraser! Looks like a nice ship!
Thanks Tammy - she’s a really nice build actually - the promenade deck is my absolute fave!

Ah, that’s so exciting. You’ve chosen a lovely ship!

Ah, nice - I do love a transatlantic! There’s quite a few people in these comments doing Christmas this year - she’ll be looking gorgeous, I bet!

Thanks for the tour, join her in April
You’re so welcome - thanks for watching! Where are you cruising to in April? I’m jealous!
@@FraserAtSea 7 days to France and Northern Spain
@@owls275 ooh, that’ll be great. Enjoy!

@@FraserAtSea yes I believe Travel blog Jamie is going to be on this one too!! Shame your not on here too!!
Looking forward to going on her in July
She’s a beauty!
Definitely not as glitzy as some of the bigger ships,but that's not a bad thing.
Yeah, agreed - she’s a much more ‘homely’ ship than some of the others!

Nice! 👍

It’s funny you mentioned the onboard laundrette. My wife has made life long friends with a couple she met in the laundrette
Ha, I knew this would happen - the level of conversation in there is so deep at times, ha!
My first ship 🛳️ not my last she’s a lovely lady ❤
Totally agree - she’s a beauty!
@@FraserAtSea she is we loved her fabulous holiday
U didnt tell us why the deck off the gym was full of water?
Hey! Good question - I think it had maybe just been cleaned? Thanks for watching!

I'm not to sure if the audio is working properly, its very quiet 😞
Hi Sonia, thanks for letting me know - it seems to be OK at my end - are your settings ok? Let me know!
@@FraserAtSea will double check x
Ship looks stunning 🤩
Looks a bit s**t
Sorry you thought so - I really liked this ship!
