P&O Arcadia Deluxe Balcony Cabin A173

It was a good choice to have a balcony cabin on this ship as we were disappointed with it and spent most of our time in the cabin. The food in the main restaurant and buffet was not very good for us. Almost everything was fancy with spices, even the steak and chicken were not without some sort of spice. There was a very, very long que at the buffet; and if you wanted a table for 2 at the freedom dining restaurant, you needed to que from 5.15pm even though it didn't open until 6pm. (I have a medical condition that means it takes me much longer to eat a meal, so it would be unfair to share a table with others as they would have to wait for me). The ship was very cold, and the Crows Nest Bar and coffee shop on deck 3 were closed on port days. The bar on deck 2 was open, but you would have to wear a coat, it was that cold.
