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…

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…

…arch 2007 Caribbean to Southhampton The P&O Site describes the cruise as: “Arcadia’s homecoming Caribbean cruise and transatlantic crossing from Barbados to Southampton takes you first to the beautiful St George’s Harbour on the fragrant island of Grenada, which has more spices growing per square mile than anywhere else on earth.

…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…

The new one is significantly larger than the old. To get to Grand Anse beach you catch a water taxi from St George harbor. You get off the ship, which berths at a long concrete quay that sticks out to sea, and go through a large duty free shopping complex, which has…

But overall, it is not a very handy destination for tourists as far from the shopping areas and Central Park etc. Overall, I liked the room a lot but the noise of construction did wake me up earlier…

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