Triggertravel Posted July 4, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I hope so as we should be boarding her tomorrow.there is nothing to suggest that she won’t be sailing at this stage , as we’ve received all relevant correspondence,but then again this is p&o,and nothing would surprise me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangedRose Posted July 4, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I'm going on it, and haven't heard otherwise, so I guess so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camberley Posted July 4, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hoping it does go ahead and smoothly, and that P&O don’t do one of their last-minute tricks. Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad John Posted July 4, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Looking at Azura reviews on P& O’s own website this morning it would seem to have been common knowledge on recent cruises that staff were being removed from Azura to join Arcadia. This would suggest that closure of speciality restaurants etc. is more down to staffing issues, i.e they are being redeployed elsewhere, rather than supply chain issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike x ftc Posted July 4, 2022 #11 Share Posted July 4, 2022 We are supposed to be doing her Christmas cruise but we are concerned about Arvia coming along in November - where on earth are they going to get enough staff for that?? Not Arcadia I hope, we were booked for last Christmas on Aurora, surely they can't can cancel us again??!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm. Arcadia didn’t leave the dockside. It was to ensure crew were up to speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope that they get sorted out with regards staffing as we are on her in October and do look forward to going to the speciality restaurants especially Ocean Grill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arlowood Posted July 7, 2022 #22 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) According to Cruise mapper Arcadia is now heading in a northwesterly direction towards Orkney. May just be a course change to mitigate the effects of the gales if that is what is forecast. Hopefully she will get back on course when the weather improves. We are contemplating a short Western Med cruise on her at the end of August to use up the FCC we were given following the cancellation of our 1st May Baltic cruise. Fingers crossed things will settle down. Edited July 7, 2022 by arlowood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppers mum Posted July 7, 2022 #25 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Yes this is a real cruise, I have friends on board although they haven't got WiFi until they go ashore so I'm relying on updates on here and the cruise tracker sites to see where they are! This was the planned itinerary. Due back into Southampton on the 19th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
