Arcadia - Any ideas what she's up to?

Arcadia is no longer berthed at the Port of Tyne. 

 

That's interesting because Marine Traffic and Vessel Finder both show the ship still berthed at the cruise quay and she's still in port according to the Port of Tyne list. But... the Youtube video was posted two days ago. How very strange.

She’s not been there since Thursday unless she crept back in last night.

 That would seem to suggest that she's left earlier than the estimated departure date of 30/05/2022. The Port of Tyne also recorded that she moved "seaward" but if that's not being shown on the usual sites... it probably means that AIS is switched off.

 

We are left with a bit of a mystery!

I see that she went up the coast to Berwick and back , keeping things running .

That explains it all! The reason that she is shown current at the Port of Tyne is that's where she is. What you've shown is the past tract as to where she was in the last couple of days. Mystery solved.

She is due in Southampton on 1st June.

Well she did have a cruise then but it’s been cancelled. 

[Les_ldh]

She’s scheduled to leave the Port of Tyne at 15:59 on Monday 30th May.

Why is she in the port of Tyne?

[snaefell]

That is the big question,top guesses are either she is having work done to sort the problems that showed up in her recent return to cruising OR being stripped after being sold......but then again maybe it is just the cheapest place for her to berth right now!

I hope it's either box 1 and/or box 3🤞

Moley has already commented that only P&O logo'd items would need to be removed before selling a vessel, and there is very little that falls into that category.

[Port out]

Just had a positive update from P&O for our cruise on the 5th July 'Your guide to dining and drinks on Arcadia for J212' sounds a little more promising, fingers crossed. 

[Fionboard]

Booked on her in August. Fingers and toes crossed!!

[paulatsea]

Christmas ! Fingers crossed 

[molecrochip]

As far as I'm aware, everything is on track for Arcadia to resume service again as planned.

Arcadia has her previously schedule calls to Southampton during June alongside a couple of extended stays.

[snaefell]

I guess we won't be satisfied until she returns to service & reviews reveal whether or not they have sorted her problems,watch this space!😙

My friends are due on this one, and we are supposed to board the day you get off, so I have everything crossed at the moment, not just fingers!

[Monorail Orange]

I do hope they can get her back in service as planned.

 

I wonder, as the cancellations were staff shortage, does that now mean they've been ablet to get the numbers back up in these 5 or so weeks?

I read elsewhere that it's simply a cheap berth. 

[gsmt47471015]

I believe that everybody in the country is well aware  that everything " up north " is cheaper 🤣 

[snaefell]

She's had enough of the 'cheapo' life & is heading to Southampton again!

[Son of Anarchy]

At anchor near Babbacombe/Torquay.  

[Fionboard]

Should be able to see her then, but it is misty today.

[sleepingcat]

Good evening Arcadia fans, the ship dropped anchor in Lyme Bay at approx 9.10 this morning - and clearly on view from our house!  (Teignmouth) welcome back, she was here through much of the covid lockdowns. I can even see our cabin. Will post when we spot any movement.
