Great sized ship for the more intimate, personal experience. Staff are friendly and engaging. The Ship has a good variety of lively entertainment outlets, bars and lounges for quieter moments and speciality dining establishments.

A fantastic experience. From the moment we entered Southampton docks, handing over our car, dropping off luggage and into passport control and checking in and onto Arcadia - it all went smoothly and easily with great support from staff who made us feel very special. The three night cruise to Bruges and back was a delight. Full of activities to appeal to all. Our cabin was spacious and clean and well serviced. The catering on the ship was excellent. The town of Bruges was a highlight but the cruise experience was a very specual treat. We were kept up to date before the cruise and advised what to do throught the P&O website and our account. We were first time cruisers invited by good friends and we would recommend and are likely to do another.

Lovely ship/suite. Food variable - often luke warm. Breakfast in buffet was awful - toast like cardboard. Staff miserable, basically going through the motions, no eye contact- felt we were an inconvenience.

The ship was very cold in all the venues except for Ocean Grill
