Arcadia stern suite question

Has anyone travelled in a corner suite, B or C deck aft on Arcadia. Have tried A deck but too noisy to book again, especially as they have placed loudspeakers directly above the cabin. Would be really interested in anyone's views on B or C space wise, number of wardrobes, deck space and noise from above. Thanks

We stayed in one on C deck last summer. We found there to be plenty of space. The only noise we heard was from the very occasional movement of balcony furniture from above.

We've had a number of corner suites on Arcadia both on B and C decks.

The best corner ones out of those two decks is definitely B deck. The room is much much better for wardrobe space. There are wardrobes and drawers in the usual dressing room area, but there is also a bank of them next to the bed in main bedroom area, whereas in the C deck Suite they do not exist at all in the bedroom, making the only wardrobe area in the dressing bit, which is no where near enough (except if you were on a short cruise (3-4 nights)).

The actual area in the Suite is smaller than the middle Suites by quite a way, especially if you decide to have the larger table put in.

The balcony on B deck is also deeper by about a foot or so. It's still a good size on C deck, but not quite as good in depth.

The bathroom is exactly the same.

One thing that the corner Suites have over the middle Suites is hooks by the door to hang your coats on. A small thing, but very helpful.

We would have a C deck again if we had to, but I would probably go for E deck, or even D deck, if B wasn't available.

Re. noise - we've never heard anything in either Suite.

Any other queries please do ask. :)

We had an aft balcony on Arcadia and were unable to use the balcony as it was always covered in soot. The cabin was lovely but soot stains clothes.

We too have had corner suites on both B and C deck. I would agree with everything said above apart from the fact that we would not go for C deck again.

It felt cramped with not much space between the bed and the little table in front of the settee. Also felt a lot of vibration at night which we didn't get on B deck.

For us B deck would definitely be first choice, failing that midships.

Thank you so much for you replies, we are looking at booking the 2019 world cruise (awaiting details .. smiles). Done around 25 suite cruises on Arcadia but none on B or C aft since the refit circa 2008/9 so this has been soooo helpful. Love the stern with the wraparound balcony which is a compromise as the midship suites are certainly bigger. Many thanks again for your help.

Hi we have had aft-wraps on both decks. We only had soot on one occasion, we woke up to it one morning and the steward cleaned it up on his rounds. I agree with the conclusion that B is best. I would choose Starboard if possible, it gave us an amazing view of the sail in to NYC and is on the opposite side to smoking decks. Hope you have an amazing trip, it sounds like the holiday of a lifetime x
