Hi All,

Just reporting to with an update on the latest potential cutbacks.

 

We've had no biscuits in our cabin now for 2 days.
 

It started with what I thought was my wife committing a biscuit felony and sneakily eating a pack in the afternoon so there was only one pack left but has turned into a full on disaster with supplies now depleted.  
 

Multiple reports of cabins with no biscuits. We haven’t saw any rioting yet but have definitely heard a few passengers tutting loudly which is the British equivalent. 
 

So there you have it, cabin biscuits appear to no longer be a thing. Unless it’s just due to operational reasons 🤞

Maybe the cardboard used to make P&O biscuits is in short supply...

There are very few, if any, other cruise lines who provide biscuits in cabins, in my experience.  Even British ones, like Fred and Saga.

 

Saga and Cunard have Walkers biscuits .

Oh, sorry.  I have done lots of Saga cruises with no cabin biscuits, but admittedly not for about 5 years, so maybe things have changed.  Did get the very good English sparkling wine though, for previous cruisers.  My last Cunard cruises were on Sagafjord and Vistafiord, so you know how long ago that was!  Didn't care for the Cunard style.

And yes before anyone asks I have demanded a full refund as compensation for my disappointment and distress. 

 

I do think you're pushing it, there.  I think the none supply of biscuits is only worth £250 future OBC each, at most. Perhaps you need to contact your local rag when you get home. Don't forget to practice your sad compo faces.

According to Paul Ludlow,  99.9 % of passengers are getting biscuits.

I was going to have a browse  as we are thinking of another cruise.  Will look at other lines now if P & O haven't any biscuits!🤣

 

 

True story.  We were on a cruise with a newly established line from Tilbury.  Prices were good and we

were lucky  to be able to have a suite.    One of the perks was a jar of biscuits, shipmade and gorgeous  One night we sat with a couple at a quiz and I happened to mention coffee and biscuits.    Big mistake the Wife went into one, where did we get them, why did we have them and not them,  she wouldn't let it rest and was going off to find out why.  We avoided them for the rest of the cruise.  With all the amount of lovely food on the ship,  it  was a biscuit for goodness sake, a biscuit!!!😗 🤣

I always take my own preferred brand! 

That centre section of the tea caddy thingy looks like it would be the perfect size to empty a pack of Aldi Chocolate Oaties into. I’m going to see if I can source a tape measure

I seem to recall biscuits on Celebrity, certainly chocolates and turndown. Free biscuits and cakes in the coffee shop.
