Ship comfortable and staff friendly, but what has happened to the quality of the food and entertainment? We have been loyal to P&O since 1992 and noticed a huge decline in the self-service restaurant, repetitive menu and odd combinations. We gave up eating in the main restaurant in the evenings as the choices again were limited to 2 fish, one steak, two vegetarian options daily and one different. As for vegetables! Two diced carrots, 3 French beans and a square of parsnip did not excite! The only saving grace was lunch in the main dining restaurant but still very limiting but able to get extra vegetables. For the first time, we ended up taking rolls from afternoon tea to the fridge in our cabin for our evening meal. As for the entertainment, Headliners company although good, have not varied their main shows. As loyal cruisers, we have seen them dozens of times, some new shows would have been nice. Three different comedians, a tribute singer and a trio who couldn’t sing left us returning to our cabin. Usually enjoy daytime lectures. First one Tony Babb great, interesting and delivered well, but didn’t think that we wanted to hear about the hanging of Ruth Ellis on our holiday.
Well P & O we say our goodbyes you really need to get things sorted.
