I am loving the refurbishment pictures. OH and I are booked on Arcadia for Xmas this year. Can't wait to use the cinema room. The seats look so comfy! I wonder what happens if too many people want to use it though. Guess it's first come first served! I'll be there with my popcorn and sweeties ;-) The new furniture at the Aquarius bar is lovely. I can imagine having a nice pre dinner drink up there now! Will they be offering an outdoor dining option like the other ships?<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work with the blog! Looking forward to the next instalment.<BR/><BR/>ElaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-76522605234536889052009-01-15T07:44:00.000Z2009-01-15T07:44:00.000ZHello James<BR/>We love the blog and look forward to joining the Arcadia in Sydney - not long now<BR/>John and KerrieJohn and Kerriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10599033659930136839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-69323620766145531912009-01-15T07:27:00.000Z2009-01-15T07:27:00.000ZHI good afternoon to you all on the Arcadia, thanks for the great photos, i was wondering if there is a purser stil with P&amp;O called Chris B----n i dont want to put his name on here, but if he is i was wondering what ship he was sailing on. He was a purser or perhaps junior purser when i was on the Arcadia, and Oriana, he was the purser on the Arcadia in 1998 when i joined in HK. Looking forward to the answer.<BR/><BR/>Geoff Witts PerthAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549524304374457964.post-23089990964418591442009-01-14T23:42:00.000Z2009-01-14T23:42:00.000ZThanks for the photo's.
