Huge queues for Freedom dining on last Xmas cruise. Started building up about 5.30 before MDR even open! Maybe people trying to get tables for two? Do not know as I was on fixed dining upstairs with no problems.
Did have problems on Britannia maiden (2015 I think). However, back on her again within months and have cruised on her seven times since. One of my favourites now. Point I was making is, do not take too much notice of bad press about maidens or let it put you off.
Yes, we had a nice peaceful evening last night. Departure delayed today due to deep clean following norovirus. All back to normal now and looking forward to Hamburg (hopefully)!
Similar problems on Iona a few weeks ago. Cheap cruises equals more trouble in my experience. No behaviour problems on Arcadia at present. Hope peace and goodwill to all continues over New Year!
Absolutely agree. Did August Arcadia Baltic this year too and it was one of the best cruises ever. In fact would not fancy cruises with SPB as have done it six times and did not even get off there the last time!
Riga,Visby, Tallinn, Skagen, Fredericia - need I go on?! Baltic and Scandinavia are wonderful without SPB. Just left Copenhagen, now in Oslo on Arcadia. Americans are very scared of risk. Shame.
