Review summary

My least favourite ship now. The cabin was dark, dank and needed a coat of paint and a new bathroom. Tfa walks had dirty Mark's all over them where old pictures used to be and the bathroom cabinet mirror was rusty beyond belief. The noise and vibration woke us up every morning at 6.45 am and so it was impossible to have a leisurely life in! The worst of all was what is now known as the 'Arcadia Whiff' - the smell of sewers in the public areas, especially in the piano bar became unbearable at times. No improvement since we complained about it 9 months ago when we had the same problems. I will no longer use this ship.

I had 6 weeks on her as part of the world cruise this year. I hated the ship, the food, the smell, the formality of it. Royal Caribbean and selected Princess ships only for us now. I have a review of Arcadia and got some nasty back lash from my review.

Odd Bob not mi or issues when you cant sleep in after 6.45! If you stayed in a 4* hotel and had the same noisy room, along g with filthy walls you wouldn't think ot acceptable, so why is it acceptable on a ship?

Went on the Arcadia in February last year. From San Francisco to Sydney 21 nights and it was our worst cruise ever. Never ever again. Our cabin was also like your photos show. The bed was like sleeping on a concrete slab and the shuddering and vibrations were horrid. The best part of our cruise was before we got on and after we got off!

Picky? Look at the 2 pictures I've put on the Arcadia page and tell me if you would be happy with paying top wack for this room?

Did 17 nights on this ship last june and encountered nothing like this. Bit of a quirky ship but had a great time. Maybe your just a little picky
