No problem. I just think it is a shame to travel all the way to the UK, and then eat in a ubiquitous chain restaurant, when there are so many good pubs about, hence the call to JB.
But, as others have said, other lines with drink packages do not seem to experience the same issues. The problem is that P&O guests are 100% Brits, and alcohol and Brits is a toxic combination, especially when football is stirred into the mix.
Correct, to a point, but I am sure you accept that by any standards, what MB and other cruisers experienced on Britannia was unacceptable.
Boisterous is one thing, being man handled and sworn at is assault.
JB - there is a thread on the Princess forum about where to eat in Southampton. I don't suppose you could pop over, and give some alternatives to the chain restaurants in the West Quay shopping centre ?
