Fionboard Posted August 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2022 A couple of posters wanted a report on what it is like on Arcadia now. Got off Baltic cruise yesterday so here is brief summary. Ship - in good condition, smart, tidy and clean. Some new carpets and furnishing since I was last on her. Heard a few rumblings about plumbing issues but none affected me. Cabin - really big with large balcony overlooking wake. Very comfortable. Food - good, same standard as on other ships this year. Not much variation in veg (supply issues?) Service - excellent (as usual). Full complement of crew on board (850) and ship not full. Itinerary - excellent. Only Visby missed due to winds. The usual old favourites plus, for me, three new ports: Riga - loved it. Similar to Tallin but on a grander scale. Kiel - hated it. Boring and dirty. (Need to do a trip here unless you like shopping at Primark, etc!) Frederica - loved it. Great welcome from the locals including canon salute and band at arrival and departure! Pretty and interesting. Weather - outstanding plus calm seas throughout. Summary - a very sociable and enjoyable cruise. Hope I have not been too long winded! 14 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike x ftc Posted August 19, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Thanks for that, we are on her for Christmas and have been getting a bit concerned having read some of the other threads about her when she first returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser5137 Posted August 20, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Thanks for this. As I mentioned in my previous post I am on Arcadia for my next three cruises so this has put my mind at rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndylou57 Posted August 20, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 20, 2022 On Arcadia at the beginning of next month. Please can you tell me if the Globe is still being used as a venue for the second morning presentation as it was last month which was a nightmare. Also, please, is afternoon tea now being served in the MDR as well as the buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
