P&O prices have come down, yet people complain foods not as good as it used to be .......... You can eat everyday in Epicurean and not spend anything like Saga or Fred money. Indeed in real terms you can eat every night in Epicurean and spend less than you used to to eat every night in MDR.
As an experiment have booked Arvia Mediterranean cruise next month, a rear corner suite, have booked Epicurean, Sindhu, Limelight and Sushi (can't spell mizuh...) every night for £750. Total cost still less than 2 weeks in an ordinary cabin on Saga. Waiting to see how it works out.
