Just returned from a partial round the world trip. The ship Arcadia is rather tired and lacklustre in appearance. The cabins are in need of a complete redecoration. We had a balcony which was untidy in appearance.

The food was mediocre and repetitive.

Deck nine has a smoking area exactly adjacent to the entrance of the buffet/dining area. The smoke from this area can be smelt in the buffet. I complained why the location was given to the smokers next to the pool.

The entertainment was very poor. The stage shows and single acts made the evening cringeworthy. The TV in the cabin was seriously out of date. Picture quality and entertainment was even worse. FM only. Unwatchable.

PS. There were maintenance men on board undertaking works to the Air-Con with several interruptions to our cabin arrangements. Decorating touches to the balcony too.
Water ingress to various decks with buckets on the floor in the dining areas and elsewhere.

PPS. The staff and crew were extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms were cleaned daily.
