Booked our meal at ocean grill on Arcadia which for us it was a minor miracle.

I was on a TA last year and a pair of bloggers was on there, they complained about everything food décor atmosphere you name it they complained about it, strangely enough there must have been a dozen other bloggers on there who had a completely different view of the holiday, just put a search in for TA in October 2023 on Arvia.

It sounds horrendous I am surprised this board isn’t inundated with people who was on that cruise, complaining about all the problems what you posted about.

Actually old chap the old hands will still be comparing p&o to other cruise line, I really miss the cheese wheels and the choco on the pillow

Now that's what I call service

No never they have all been professional even the young lad who was looking after us who struggled with the order, we got our food and drinks so we was happy.

Standards must have been very poor on Iona, we was on Arvia and not once did we have a problem getting to our table and have not read it anywhere else there have been problems

No idea which ship you was on, they give your waiter a ticket which tells them the table you have been given and they take you straight to it, that is the system they have used on every cruise ship we have been on.

I wasn't going to bother replying to this thread but after reading how this cruise line or that cruise line is far superior to p&o, I really would have thought they would have abandoned P&O by now, why pay to go on a cruise who you believe is the pontins of the ocean waves.

Just to put my trotters into the debate, what actual use are pigs apart from bacon sausages chops etc etc etc.

The best thing any cruise line should do is refuse to accept debit cards at point of booking, if the person still insists on using one they must accept the consequences, before people say some people cannot get credit cards, there are multiple companies that supply them to those with poor credit issues, and I know the interest rate is higher but you would not be using it for general expenses.

Didn't see one photographer on Arvia just lots of bloggers, they was everywhere like a plague.

I still find it interesting to see P&O compared to other cruise lines, you can only really compare them if going on similar itineraries, then you make the choice is it worth paying more to have turn down service and seeing more items on the menu which you probably wouldn't choose anyway.

Plus P&O as not got the largest fleet in the group so they try to cover all basses

Your reply to my post is baffling but those who liked your comment obviously didn’t read my post, at no point did I question anyone’s choice to sail with whoever they chose to it’s your money to do with what you wish, so please reread my post.

I always find it amusing how people moan about p&o and still sail with them, but p&o must be doing something right for the amount of people still sailing with them, but each to there own.

You can have 2 sirloin that would be 10oz

Actually she passed me in the corridor and said she gave up waiting for you in your cabin

Is it made in Yorkshire or is that fake as well

The sandwich looks good just missing a bit of ham on it.

We found that people book in advance for the restaurants then don’t turn up, we had a conversation with a waitress who told us they cannot release the tables because the people who have booked them might turn up, hence why there was lots of empty tables.

We love the sea days hence why we mostly do TA’s, so the 8-9 days would be great for us.

I think I saw the OP wandering around the ship still trying to find the muster station last year

Same here we booked our Christmas cruise whilst onboard ship, the price is yet to be beaten

Don’t be a heathen
