Customer reviews for Arvia
Arvia was beautiful, but expensive
Food not brilliant. Rush for lifts when returning to the ship or getting off the ship was not good. A number of them were out of order.
Room - Ship is VERY big - over 5,000 guests plus over 1,000 crew. Although big it can feel incredibly packed especially on sea days (towels on beds at 6 a. m. !!) Cabin - good but some of the storage is small and really pointless. TV was good with lots of shows and live sport (if you like that or there's a rainy day). Balcony was a godsend. The person who cleaned our cabin was really really nice and helpful. Extra tip given. Standard - very clean everywhere. Bars - quite a few bars As expensive as a night out. Some required long trousers although we did see some people in shorts. Restaurants - lots. Horizon buffet seemed quite small for so many people and not much space at food stations The Quays did really really nice fish and chips, as well as indian and korean and roast dinners. Recommend the waiter service at the Meridian and Zenith restaurants. Really nice food and efficient waiters (extra tips for 2 here). Again some required long trousers but this was not strictly adhered to. Black tie nights were nice and special. Entertainment - recommend the 710 Club. A bit like a jazz club with a resident band doing covers. quite nice atmosphere here. The sessions could be longer. Would book as it gets quite full but as there were only 2 of us then we could ask if space and would get in. Theatre shows were quite good especially the professional shows. Talks in the Theatre during the day were interesting. The trips from P & O were expensive and could be bought cheaper elsewhere. We complained about the one trip as it was very very poor but the excursion staff weren't interested. Reception staff were surly on the verge of rude. Overall, ship was quite good but not brilliant.
Loved the ship Food , entertainment, and cabin were all excellent The crew work extremely hard and are lovely Staff need to police the subbed issues otherwise would have been 5*s
