This is likely to be less obvious to new cruisers who will be more interested in finding out out the ship, exploring and finding out more about cruising. Hence why I will shy away from doing these very short trips again. Watch the video of the mini-suite B101 that we stayed in: See…

P&O ARCADIA CRUISE SHIP: REVIEW AND VIDEOS

Tweet Arcadia I have been on the P&O ship Arcadia 3 times now.

I went back and looked at the review I wrote on the first trip and as much still applies, thought would post on the blog and add in videos of the 3 cabins I have stayed…

…periences – a transatlantic crossing. Your journey ends in Southampton but Arcadia does make one welcome pause along the way: at the stylish Garden Island of Madeira. Here you can take tea at the gloriously colonial Reids’ Hotel or try a thrilling wicker sled ride down steep cobbled tracks to the delightful capital, Funchal – another unforgettable experience, just like the whole cruise.” As I mentioned above, this will be the 2nd time that I have…

Finally, when packing, don’t pack the cruise line umbrella, dressing gown, binoculars or other bits and pieces around the cabin.
