From Royal Caribbean to P&O - thoughts?

Oooh - I tell a lie - we had Lamb Shank on Indy from Southampton. None on Freedom in the Caribbean though.

Read on another thread that they have stopped the silver service vegetables on Ventura :(

Hi

We've cruised mainly on RCI & Celebrity and went on our 1st P & O cruise in June this year, on Ventura.

 

The cabins (and beds) were great, the entertainment was good, service was so-so (a couple of times received the wrong meals), ship was immaculately clean but my main negatives were - the food & the ship. The buffet just doesn't compare (although we didn't go hungry, there wasn't the same selection), the evening meals were so-so) and the ship looked 'tired' compared (just simple things like the public toilets!).

 

We did enjoy the cruise but P & O wouldn't be our 1st choice. If an itinerary was good along with the price, we would go but all-in-all, I have to say that Celebrity 'ticks all the boxes' for us.

Hi,

On Azura this year you could have a smaller dish of a main meal as a starter if none of the other starters took your fancy. I would presume it would be the same on the other ships. :)

As far as the fruit for your daughter is concerned I would have a word with the Restaurant Manager on the first evening and I am sure he will do his best to help. I would do this rather than just asking the waiters. Hope this helps.

Well you can for the fish course, never seen it done for any other but never seen anyone refused. You can only ask.

 

I have done this regularly for fish.
