Embarkation day, P&O Arcadia. Three night cruise to Belgium

It was our first time parking up at Southampton cruise port. After a bit of a stressful few minutes trying to find where to go we finally found the correct parking area. We did arrive early though so we were turned away so decided to pop to the shopping centre for a coffee. There was a bit of confusion with the parking when we got back to the car park, several cars were driving around in circles after being given conflicting information, we were just happy that we were in the correct place so we weren’t that bothered at this point. We had priority embarkation, the whole process was fast and efficient and we were quickly on board eating a delicious lunch after visiting our muster station. We all enjoyed a spontaneous massage after visiting the spa, did poorly again at the quiz and enjoyed watching The Privateers. It was only our first day and we’d already packed so much into it. #pocruises #cruise #minicruise
