Pre-registered for 19 nights on Arcadia in October 2021.

A really good price for an outside cabin!

I only carry my handbag.

Why would anyone want to carry their luggage?

I am 63 and my sister is 66.

First cruise was on the 'old ' Oriana in June 1979.

We were on the Arcadia last November.

Only buckets were outside the Florist shop.

There was some excitement when they changed the colour!

Received mine in early December!

I haven't rated the rest of the fleet-once on Ventura has put me off the bigger ships for good!

Arcadia is our favourite ship so very happy with her cruise to the Eastern Med in October.

A lot cheaper than we expected!:D

We have always had wine glasses in our outside cabins and just asked the cabin steward for any others we might need.

Kettle crisps to complement my G&T.

My uncle's father-in-law was a North Sea fisherman.

He recommended port and brandy!

Tastes good and works-1 have never been seasick

Cruised on Ventura last year-never again!

Back on Arcadia this year.

I read a strange comment about a lower deck cabin-'we were very unhappy with our room which was on the ground floor'

In August 1978 I had just returned from a very damp holiday in Ireland.

On my return to London I saw,from the bus, a large advert for P&O.

Next day I visited P&O House and booked a cruise on the old Oriana for June 1979.Been hooked ever since!

WeI found Ventura too big,impersonal and disorganised,

Arcadia is just the right size for us- Please P&O build or buy a similar size ship !

Arcadia is our favourite ship.

For a change we tried Ventura last year -bad choice.

So back to Arcadia 2018 and 2019!

The number you need is your Peninsular Club membership reference.

The 5% discount applies whether booking direct with P&O or a Travel Agent.

We had a lovely cruise on her last November.

Everywhere,inside and out, was spotlessly clean.

The new menu had an abundance of tasty choices and some of the puddings were ''to die for''!

Sorry no 'photos but the cabin is quite large and airy.

G deck is very quiet and exceptionally stable.

Missing out a port en route so that the ship can visit 6 Caribbean islands instead of the usual 5 on a round trip.

On our last cruise in April/May we were allocated G45.

Very spacious and quiet.

The toilets are no problem as most people exit the theatres on Fdeck.

We have used the Baggage Handling Co. for our previous 3 cruises.

They 'phoned on Saturday morning to arrange pick up on Wednesday afternoon for our Arcadia cruise next Sunday.

Always found the staff friendly and helpful.

The service makes to so easy to fly to Southampton-only 1hr15mins from Newcastle!

We live in the North East of England and have over the years have tried driving,train and coach.

Have found the easiest and most comfortable way;

Large suitcases collected by the Baggage Handling Company.

Quick Flybe flight to Southampton the day before

After the cruise, Eavesway coach home.

Have a lovely cruise.
