We're going on the Arcadia in November for 2 weeks, so your vlog has been helpful. Thanks. We were on the Iona in July 2023 and I can confirm that the queues at the buffet at lunch time were long. I found the buffet on the Iona disappointing. For a ship that size, 6000 passengers, you thought they would have more serving areas. It just did not flow well. This is despite all the other eateries available. I'm looking forward to sailing on the smaller Arcadia.
Interesting that restaurant bookings were off - this is also what I found on my recent cruise on Aurora. I had to turn up to the restaurant and get given a beeper (if that's what you call them, ha!) - didn't take long at all to get seated, and I felt it worked pretty well to be honest!
I always have the fear of just throwing my camera overboard too haha. It does look like they have quite a lot of activities on which is nice. The seating in the theatre looks much nicer than when we were on Ventura. It is a shame that there isn't enough restaurants to eat at. We like the buffet but its also nice to have a nice sit down meal. We love a sea day xx
Thanks for the fab UA-cam videos. A quick question please with P&O Arcadia, can you get a coffee at Costa and have a proper cup & saucer if you sit in and drink? Just ordered reusable mugs for our up and coming cruise. 60 nights on Arcadia. Can’t wait!
At breakfast in Iona's MDR the portion of jam/marmalade was half the amount in your video & we had to keep asking for butter as that portion was hardly ever enough to cover the toast. But see green beans & broccoli featured at dinner, on Iona we got fed up with the repetitive choices.
Important questions that prospective passengers are looking for. Things to consider including in any future video. On the evening of departure, when nothing could be pre-booked, what were the queues like at the Meriden restaurant?
Good question! I've just left Aurora, and didn't have any issues! I also haven't seen any major final night issues on my other P&O cruises either, if that's of any help to you!
Another great video, Molton Brown…..just love recharge black pepper even though it targeted as a male fragrance. Xx can’t wait to book another cruise but that will have to wait. Hopefully next year. Xxx If they have Annings Elderflower and cucumber.cider on you must try it very refreshing. I’m not a big drinker but do like. Fruit cider
