Arvia, Caribbean
2
If this is the future of P&O cruising I wouldn't book another cruise. The ship Arvia has too many passengers. It is not a resort ship, Royal Caribbean do that very well. it is made for the masses. Merely a block of social housing flats moving ports.
Its queues all the way. Lifts, when working, dining rooms, sun beds. I have never queued as much.
Thank goodness for Maya, one of the hotel managers for upgrading us. You are an asset to P&O, they need the likes of you. Our cabin steward William, old school, also an asset.
The food wasn't bad. At least they brought back nicer lunches by returning a main roast i.e chicken, pork, gammon with veg or salad.
For anyone doing their 1st cruise you probably thought that's the norm. No it isn't.
The entertainment was mediocre at best dire at worst. I dread to think what the passengers in the suites thought about it all.
