stopgo Posted December 15, 2008 #101 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I thought we might as well resurrect this thread, to see if in the last few months there as been any improvement in the food served in the main dining room on the Arcadia.

I have just spent the last hour reading the previous posts re Arcadia, having not read them before. (That was your fault StopGo) lol We sail on Arcadia on Saturday for 16 days.

stopgo Posted December 16, 2008 #103 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I had no problems with the food on Arcadia, my view was the food in the main dining room was more than adequate. In fact I thought it was better than the Club dining in the Ventura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops I wasn't criticising or anything, it was certainly entertaining, so much so that it cured my 3 am insomnia. I was merely reassuring newbies that I wouldn't be sailing on her again if I hadn't enjoyed it the first time! IMHO the Meridian Restaurant is more than adequate! If you order anything that you are not satisified with, they will gladly replace it! Saying that - Frozen carrots are pretty gross no matter were you buy them from!

stopgo Posted December 16, 2008 #106 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Don't think there are many Newbies on the boards at this time of day, in fact they are in short supply. I guess if they read this Arcadia thread they will see where the battle lines are drawn. Though I am sure they will be entertained by reading the posts, norfolkbrit as a wonderful turn of phrase pure comedy gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly seemed a character! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we have seen the last of him, he seemed a defiant sort of chap. Not one to be bullied by the usual suspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The small cinema which is going in the old cyber room can only be a improvement after no cinema, wish I was on her again. The food was great in May on my 16nighter to Venice.

stopgo Posted December 19, 2008 #110 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Don't really see the point of having a small cinema instead of a cyber room. A large cinema maybe but not in place of the cyber room. From what I can remember The Globe was used as a cinema, and was more than adequate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraLass41 Posted December 19, 2008 #111 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Well I think it will be a huge improvement. On my cruises on Arcadia films have been shown in a side room with hard backed chairs, I think it was the Horizon lounge, never in the globe. So nice comfy cinema chairs and a bigger screen will be a improvement. 30 seats maybe enough as there were only about 10 people in the room we used. Also I expect the room will be used for small meetings/talks as well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stopgo Posted December 20, 2008 #112 Share Posted December 20, 2008 On the Arcadia on my cruise, the Globe was used to show " The Queen " If you have been in the Globe, you will know they have plenty of comfy seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue, You will have a problem with the cinema on Oriana. The problem is that with the nice comfy seats and nobody walking by to disturb you, you will fall asleep and miss the film, especially if you have had a glass or two of wine! Don't think you will be on your own though Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a film which is expected to be a 'crowd puller' especially on a poor weather sea day will be shown in the globe I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbum Posted December 22, 2008 #119 Share Posted December 22, 2008 We were on Arcadia in November and the food was very good, better thank in April, different executive chefs. As Sue says try the Orchid Bar if this dosn't suit you are very hard to please. I think for the money that we pay on P & O the standards are good and the staff are excellent.

stopgo Posted December 29, 2008 #120 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Still not convinced that a designated cinema is needed on the Arcadia or any other ship. From the photo's it looks tiny, 30 seats or less just seems pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest012 Posted January 2, 2009 #121 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Happy New Year to you all..... i have read this forum with interest and thought i would post my post here......for christmas i received from my lovely husband a 2010 Australia to U.K cruise... having checked out whats available we have narrowed the choice down to either the Arcadia or Fred Olsens Balmoral...love both itinerarys....i realize they are not the same class of ship and we do like the smaller ships so size is not a deciding factor ......would love some feedback if anyone can help..........cheers Shiona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
