    *** I CANNOT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. ***

    We travelled on a ship that was called Arcadia. It is now called Ocean Village.

    ***********************************

    Yes and no. Our very first cruise was absolutely fantastic, so we had high expectations. Arcadia did not meet them. However, it was still a 5 star floating hotel.

    Quite why they only had UHT milk after the 1st day, I cannot imagine. Corn bread? No thank you. The food could have been better; it was only good.

    With an inside to match, I'm afraid. Items such as the panelling is a bit unconvincing.

    Hmm. According to the Marketing Dept. there may have been. I don't remember any.


    However, I am criticising the gilding on the lily. For anyone who has not been on a cruise: DO IT!

    I can see one that looks like a tanker in the distance; does it have a red hull?

    Ship sailing past office today

    Today's ship;

    MS Arcadia
    Ugly, but huge.

Working...
